** [[spoiler: Li Zhen and Li Xuan]] are considered {{WarriorPrince}}s of the highest degree; being elite warriors, master tacticians, and competent plotters. The former of which even impresses Wanyue, who despises politicians, the first time they meet.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: So much so the author often prefaces chapters stating the cultural notions shown and depicted were not her personal beliefs. As described in {{Gayngst}}, homosexual attraction is described by the characters as "unnatural" and "filthy, intermarrying between social classes is heavily frowned upon, women are trapped in a society that considers them inherently inferior as well as property of their husbands or fathers, which female characters readily agree with, and thoughts of genocide are ''encouraged'' and praised.
* {{Gayngst}}: Done quite realistically; the time period in which the story is set, the Tan Dynasty, was when the cultural perception of homosexuality in China, which was originally quite neutral, and even somewhat accepted in some parts, became ''very'' bad, and widespread persecution started. As such homosexuality is frequently decried as being "unnatural and against nature". That being said; each same-sex couple in the story handles it differently.

''Female General and Eldest Princess'' (often abbreviated as ''FGEP'' by fans) is a [[YuriGenre Girl's Love]] HistoricalFiction drama set in Medieval China, albeit with heavy embellishments and an entirely made up cast of characters, written by a female author only known by their internet name; ''"Please Don’t Laugh"''. The fist chapter was originally published in 2017 on the online, Chinese web novel site, ''JJWXC''. Proving to be extremely popular as new chapters were published it would regularly end up on the very top of the websites charts. It finished it's run in 2018; just a year after the first chapter was posted. Eventually a fully [[ApprovalOfGod author-approved]] English fan translation was released and [[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pMjGCNUMI6a23-BcmkfgnA9uj1Bt1ls6 can be found here]], alongside the [[http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=3147310 original Chinese version]].

* MasterArcher: Wangyue first rises to prominence when she successfully masters a two-stone bow -- something that only a few soldiers in the entire Northern Army are strong enough to accomplish. After getting promoted to commander of the archery regiment, she quickly qualifies to ''three''-stone bows (something that only half a dozen people in the entire empire can do), as well as mastering horseback archery. While 'Feixing' is no slouch in any form of combat, her archery is what really puts her on the map -- as well as facilitating her life-changing meeting with Princess Li Xian, who first develops interest in 'Feixing' after [[WorkoutFanservice watching her]] fire a hundred arrows into the practice target.

* MatchmakerFailure: After Lin Wangyue gains a noble title, her house becomes besieged by professional matchmakers who want to set up [[SweetPollyOliver "General Feixing"]] with a good wife. When she rejects them outright and instructs her servants to ignore them, the matchmaker guild takes offense and starts spreading unsavory rumors about her, which are only cleared when Wangyue lets slip that her heart already belongs to an Imperial Princess.

* ShownTheirWork: Twice in the story, Wanyue has her wounds stitched shut with a strand of Li Xian's long, silky hair, leaving neat, "centipede-like" scars. One would think that such hair suturing is pure wishful fiction, an IntimateHealing relying on the RuleOfCute, but it is actually a [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5572163/ real surgical technique]] (the report contains some rather graphic injury photos, so be warned) used by modern doctors. The main differences are that in real life, the patient's ''own'' ("autologous") hair is typically used because it avoids inflammation[[note]]as their immune system recognizes the sutures as part of their own body and doesn't attack it[[/note]]; it is usually applied to facial wounds, specifically to ''avoid'' visible scarring; and it is done with much tinier surgical needles than would be available in a Tan Dynasty military camp.

Li Xuan's, however, foul-temper is implied to be partially due to the stress it causes him, though he's ultimately able to accept it.
