Description
She was nothing more than a weed in the chaotic world, a petty thief who would stop at nothing to survive. One day, she stole ten taels of silver from a young master, not realizing he was the infamous traitorous general, his hands stained with the blood of his own people. Her desperate antics to survive piqued his interest. He lit an incense stick and turned her into a plaything in a deadly game of survival. “I’ll give you one incense stick’s time to run. Don’t let me catch you, or else— You’ll face eternal damnation.” She fled to a noble family, took on a new identity, and married into safety, believing she could finally live a peaceful life. But when she looked up, she found him smiling at her, calling her “sister-in-law” in a tone both gentle and menacing. She lost the game and became his s*ave. True to his word, he cast her into fire and sword, dragging her through hell. Yet she discovered that under his relentless tempering, she emerged with an unbreakable armor, capable of standing tall in the chaotic times with nothing but her own backbone as a woman. He was like a boat ferrying her across the river, only to vanish into the darkness after one journey. Who was he, really? The road forward is long, and the way back is distant. Both are lost souls—why not cross the river together?

My Thoughts on Why Not Sail Together
"Why Not Sail Together" is a novel that truly surprised me. Going in, I expected a fairly straightforward historical romance, but what I found was a sweeping epic, cleverly disguised as a character-driven drama. It's a story that starts small but gradually expands to encompass the fate of nations.
First Impressions
Initially, the novel focuses on the seemingly mundane struggles of the female lead. We see her dealing with basic survival in a war-torn country, focusing on things like food and shelter. It feels almost trivial at first, but this is a deliberate choice by the author, a foundation upon which the entire story is built.
What Works Well
The author masterfully escalates the stakes as the story progresses. The characters are well-developed, and even seemingly minor players contribute meaningfully to the plot. I found myself particularly drawn to the male lead, a complex character forced to make impossible choices as a double agent. His internal conflict, the way he masks his true feelings, and his eventual connection with the female lead were all compelling. The transformation of the female lead from a desperate survivor to a figure of courage and strength is also a highlight. The plot is intricate and well-thought-out, with political intrigue and wartime strategy adding layers of depth.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I can see how the writing style during the more passionate scenes might feel a bit too dramatic or exaggerated for some readers. It's a minor point, but worth noting if you prefer a more subtle approach to romantic encounters.

It's easily a new favorite, and I'm eager to explore more works by this author.
