I Found an Empire in the Garbage Dump

Su Mu spent sixteen years surviving in a garbage dump. The day her adoptive father was killed by a bully, she found something among the scrap that could change her fate: a key capable of activating the Empire's final fleet. From that moment on, her destiny changed! Then someone told her: You aren't a scavenger. You're the Empire's last princess. Your father wasn't a tyrant, either. He bore the infamy of an entire empire to protect a secret capable of destroying the galaxy, and the person who killed your adoptive father was only the tip of the iceberg. From a garbage planet to the depths of the universe, Su Mu scavenges, fights, and uncovers the truth along the way... The Alliance was the one that started the war. The Starshield Matrix isn't a weapon. It's a prison. Every increase in strength burns away her life. The person she trusts most may be nothing more than a pawn, while her father, reviled by the entire universe, traded his life to give her a chance to survive. She has no golden finger, no harem, and no male lead who drops from the sky. All she has is a wisecracking tin robot, a busted fleet salvaged from the ruins, and the instincts of a scavenger etched into her bones... This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
