In a nutshell: the story of a scheming girl who has always been treated like a tool, and how she grows along the way.
This is not a wish-fulfillment Mary Sue web novel. Everyone has their own intelligence, emotions, and clear goals.
Everyone is clever, and the heroine is especially smart.
\
The Meng Dynasty of Qi, the sixteenth year of Changping. Natural disasters and man-made calamities abound, while internal unrest and external threats plague the realm.
The young Xia Jingliang descends from the mountains to seek refuge with her maternal uncle, Lin Suzhen, a prefect plotting rebellion.
The ruler’s niece? Not enough.
A lucky charm holding the Imperial Seal? Still not enough.
A saintly “Lady Huiniang” with extraordinary skills, able to cure her own poisoning and slaughter every assassin?
Who could have guessed that this woman, a general who can debate scholars into silence and ride into battle, is actually a sweet, innocent young girl?
Friends and foes are hard to tell apart, human hearts are unfathomable, self-interest comes first, and there’s no time for romance.
Revenge, rebellion, uprising, abdication, palace coups, power struggles, usurpation.
The New Meng Chronicles: in the end, this realm will return to the Meng Dynasty.
