(Transmigration + court politics and the martial world + female protagonist + no romantic pairing)
After transmigrating to the end of the Song Dynasty, she becomes a merchant woman in Hangzhou. That same year, Fang La’s rebellion breaks out, plunging Jiangnan into two years of chaos and forcing her onto the road as a wanderer.
The rebels, the authorities, and the Jin and Liao kingdoms are all enemies. One wrong move can cost a man his head, while a woman risks losing her chastity. Better to be a dog in peaceful times than a person in a chaotic age.
Fortunately, this is a world of martial arts, with cultivation techniques and fighting styles. That is the only reason she manages to survive the turmoil.
