Haha, so true.
Reelxia has it as "My Country Wife, the Mafia Boss" which is pretty accurate.

Typical "hidden identity" story done in a much better way than usual - the FL is consistently strong/badass, and for once, it's she who kidnaps the evil 2FL (this was a highlight for me). Also, her daughter is super cute.
And the ML is less irritating and much less overbearing than they typically are.
Even the Romance is decent, too.

I don't know the title, and I am not particularly happy with the FL's decision-making here, but it has top-notch fight scenes for Micro Drama levels.

Ugh, childhood friends trope, of course, with Prince as well.
But probably would give it a shot... if it were to air one day.

Since nothing is progressing with her profile, here are the two links to the action Dramas with her I've had a chance to watch:
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdh8aGU6ArQ
Title: 傲世红颜 aka "Sword of the Hidden Heart"
Synopsis: A slightly silly story about the FL with unmatched Fighting Skills hiding as the Male Janitor at the Kung Fu School.


2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP_vZdnchSo
Title: 青山依旧 aka "General Robin's Adventures"
Synopsis: Another badass role for her. However, in some instances, writer(s) cripped their IQ, and pacing could be better

Also, "Goddess of Kitchen" was a hugely entertaining watch, but I can't find a full version on YT anymore.

There are many more Action Movies with her available; not sure how she became a Micro Dramas Action Star.

Just watched it - the FL is exceptionally beautiful and super smart, which makes it a decent watch.
Just a pity about the poor Romance with the ML wearing a god-awful mask, plus the totally needless rebirth, which made look the FL less impressive than she should be.

"Romance of the Female Soldier"

Source?

Personally, I hope for at least 3, 4 and 5 - so they will be able to cover the Novel without rushing things too much.

I remember reading somewhere that they were filming Season 3 immediately after completing Season 2, but it's been a while since then and no news at all.
So maybe a false rumour :(

Is Season 3 confimed?
I tried looking at ZCH social media, but didn't see anything.

I agree, it's quite boring - but this part of the Novel was too. The constant praising gets quite tiresome.

However, I'm so happy to finally see a consistently smart and proactive FL, rather the one always waiting for the villains to attack her or dumbing down the supposedly smart ones just to make the plot more exciting.
I don't compare the Dramas, because the difference in quality is obviously vast, but still, in principle,I will take a more boring Drama/Novel with a consistently smart FL, over dumbing down Minglan (who somehow thought taking concubines from her evil in-laws family would be a good idea or didn't think she could get attacked by the same enemy during childbirth) or Yingluo (who brought her Eunuch Brother back with her after he told her he would be her enemy from now on).

I could even think about a few occasions when the FL could be even smarter and more ruthless, but I guess the author wasn't able to kill the main antagonist too soon.

I use savethevideo.com to download Dailymotion videos to my HD.

Ooooh, this actually sounds like a positive to me.
You have million Dramas to choose from with MLs constantly saving the FLs over and over and over again, even when the FLs are advertised as "strong female lead".

All YT links aren't working anymore.

Btw, very entertaining Drama with great slaps, recommended.

It's super difficult for me to watch her in anything else than Lu Songli Adventures.

I wonder how many Parts of the above story will be produced in the end (two so far, and the third is rumoured to come as well),

Also, you have to know that NIF is super limited with Romance.
However, there are at least three all-around capable female characters.

Looks very pretty in some of the Dramas playing FL I've had a chance to watch.
I wasn't bothered by her acting, either.

Thanks for your comment. I prefer the FL-centric Dramas with capable Female Leads, so now I will know to never pick this one up.
Also, 70 episodes is kind of scary, even if I did a few longer ones, but they were an obvious pick (like Empresses in the Palace or Story of Minglan).

The first episode is indeed kind of rough, especially with so many characters introduced at the same time.
My advice would be to watch it until the episode 5-6, when the first big confrontation happens - maybe you will feel more comfortable with it until then.
If not, there are many Dramas to choose from, however only few of them comes close to masterpiece like NIF.
