- First and foremost, the MC has a good head on her shoulders. She's mature, and this didn't come from the fact that the author described her as 'mature'. She knows how to apologize when she's wrong, and how to be straightforward without being s*upid. I really like how she truly has a common sense. She's also strong, without being that overbearing female-asassins type of strong. She's not the best, and this aspect is realistic.
- Second, she's INDEPENDENT. You read me right, folks. We have found an ancient-transmigration FMC whose life does not depends on a man. Wow. I am shooked. She actually escape from her predicaments by her own skill and not the ML's title. She could properly make her own living by her skills.
- Third, the ML is not a di**head! Yeshhh! We wouldn't see moments of bickering because the ML's ego got bruised, or MC putting a sh*teating grin while giving the ML empty platitudes for her schemes.
- The relationship actually feels mature. It's based on mutual respect. In an ancient-china setting. Again, I am amazed.
- Yes, we have well-crafted side characters, folk. Although I haven't read to the end as of now, I really like how the author played different facets of emotions and motivations in the side characters. Heck, I love the ML's cousins. No face-slapping, no mindless petty white lotuses.
- It's fun. It has a simple story, and there's not much of a drama. I dare say to label this as a 'feel-good' stories. But, it manages to feel fresh and delivers a good laugh at some scenes.
I truly, truly recommend this for anyone who wants to read a feel-good romance.Plus, the MC taking the lead with the soft and blushy boi ML while both of them were crossdressing, absolute gold.
I love how they are able to interact even when they're in different worlds through soul touch.

- Nice action sequences and war parts, and its inclusion makes sense, what with the MC being a martial sort of woman, instead of randomly tacked on because the writer wants to make the MC look 'cool' (I'm looking at you, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder and its nonsensical final arc).
Addressing Some Criticisms I've Read: Is the writer is homophobic because the main villains seem to be homosexuals? Uh, no, I didn't have that impression at all. I did get the impression that one of the characters in the modern world did, at one point, use the word 'gay' as an insult, but since he was currently threatened with s*xual violence, I gave him a pass. As for the other villains threatening to r*pe guys... the impression I get was that the writer is trying for a different approach, of evening out the threat of s*xual violence not just to the female members of the cast but also to the male ones. Historically, there are male brothels too and other c-novels don't even shy away from that factoid. I'm sure many readers have read villain characters in ancient settings with the hobby of raping and/or torturing women too, I don't really think it's too weird if here we happen to see the repeated use of villains with a penchant for raping and/or torturing men. I mean, do people accuse those novels of being secretly having a misogynistic agenda because so many of the villains want to r*pe women? The writer here is just flipping the villains' preferred target demographic here. Not to mention that beautiful guys being threatened with r*pe is also a historically accurate detail, just not one often touched upon in other stories. Its inclusion in this story is probably to highlight the ML's beauty and the degree of peril he's in from that trait, the same way the ancient c-novel setting put beautiful women in peril. Really, if we're speaking of r*pe as a weapon of war, it's also about power relations, humiliation and subjugation, not just s*xual attraction. It doesn't actually imply that everyone threatening to r*pe male prisoners are gay. Some of the villains still have concubine-filled harems with many women in it. And before anyone tries to say that I'm saying all this to make excuses or mansplaining... man, sexually speaking I'm not even that straight. TL;DR Summary: Independent female MC with a strong martial bent, she goes saving the ML not long after she found him imprisoned on the grounds of the manor that she was working in. He's a refined gentleman and a scholar, but he's captivated by her capability. He even entered the army to win enough merits to show his independence, shut his mother's complaints and/or disagreements and marry a 'commoner' like her because he wouldn't settle for less nor would he accept severing their relationship altogether. (She'd rather marry a commoner instead of him if that's what it takes to marry a guy without any concubines. He would rather that she didn't, particularly if she actually does like him). Has a lot of villains threatening s*xual violence on guys (mostly the ML), in what seems to be a genre-flip from the usual ancient c-novel trope of villains threatening s*xual violence on women (mostly the female characters).about how MC and ML can't marry due to difference in status
-
- The ML is willing to make sacrifices for the relationship, cuz he's aware that most of their relationship problems comes from his own family.
