A martial arts prodigy hidden in the city. A cold, aloof human stone who believes she was born without warmth. A master of disguise, accustomed to living a life like a silent film. After getting drunk while making offerings to her master, she opens her eyes in the fictional state of Li, where she has become the closest guard captain to the King of Li. And she is a man. At the life-or-death moment when she first transmigrates, how will she fight her way out? In an age of tangled love and hate, how will the coldhearted her find warmth in her heart? Amid the endless schemes of the political arena, how will she, who once thought of herself as a mere passerby, protect those she wants to keep safe and ensure they live in peace and happiness?
Many years later...
“Qinjiao, you know your body can’t handle stress. Don’t you?” The ruler of the kingdom called out her full name to the person at the desk, his anxious voice betraying a trace of fear.
“Duke, our army has completely conquered the island nation of Wo. The Six Ministries have jointly drawn up this governance proposal. Please review it.”
“Father, I’m only nine, but His Majesty already wants me to help review memorials. My wrist hurts.”
The child was too busy acting spoiled to notice his father standing behind him, his eyes fierce with the desire to give him a proper childhood.
(Fictional history; some angst; a woman transmigrates into a man’s body; the protagonist is resilient and will seize every chance to survive, even when cornered; happy ending)
