General's Lady (2020)

Partially funny story with manipulative child women!

A woman writes this drama, and of course then a woman is always the better half in a story. Surprise! That's why I would like to see more dramas written by men, or mixed teams.

Let's take an example: In F7 and F8, the FL provokes the ML with her flirting with Xiao Su, the emperor's spy. This Xiao puts himself over military orders in the military camp. Later he thinks he has uncovered a crime of the ML. Then he fights against ML's soldiers. All gripes in the toilet.
But FL defends Xiao and says to the horrified ML: "He (Xiao) is my man", nobody should touch him. This was almost a marriage vow in ancient China. The crowning glory was then the thing with the precious token. She looks like a lover and behaves like one at that moment. She doesn't need explanations.

Nevertheless, the ML has the ass card. He's stupid and of course got it all wrong. He has to take reproaches not only from the troublemaker Xiao Su. It needs an apology to the FL. And the tough soldier, this one-man slaughterhouse, has to give an embarrassing whimpering, screaming and crying performance. It sucks and is unbelievable! The following "resolution" then lacks any romance, one does not find redemption, but a formal explanatory text.

I cannot follow this: Why didn't FL have to justify her misunderstanding behavior to ML? Did she have a thing with Xiao? Didn't Xiao have to explain why he was spying? What is he doing in the camp anyway?

Overall, the story is riddled with little annoyances like this. But much of the rest is also very funny. And entertaining. Maybe just leave out the annoyances?
But the author sits at the longer writing instrument! And whether in China, or with us in the west, a woman writes of course annoyingly biased. Therefore: Goodbye and thanks for the fish!
