Clashing Blades, Shattered Jade: Reborn as Her

The snows of the northern frontier buried loyal bones. On the night the female general Ling Yunxiao died in battle at Wolf Valley, Shen Weiwan, a concubine-born daughter of the Shen family in the capital, opened her eyes in an icy pond. In her previous life, she was the Great Yao Dynasty's only female general. For ten years, she defended the border, fighting on horseback with spear and sword to protect the vast realm. Yet in the end, her most trusted fiancé and deputy general betrayed her, leaving not even a body behind. In this life, she has become a concubine-born daughter in a sprawling mansion, at the mercy of others. Her birth mother died young, her stepmother is cruel, and her legitimate elder sister is vicious. But behind her eyes, which have seen through life and death, lies the fierce edge of someone who clawed her way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. She keeps her claws sheathed and advances one careful step at a time: standing up to her stepmother, punishing cruel servants, and protecting those she cares about; unraveling schemes, uncovering the truth, and turning her blade on her enemies. Everyone thinks Shen Weiwan has been transformed, unaware that the frail body holds a war god reborn from the flames. Then she meets Xiao Jue, the cold and taciturn Prince of Jing'an. He sees the weariness in her eyes and through the fear she pretends to feel. After one clash and test after another, he becomes the only light on her path to revenge. “Shen Weiwan, who are you, really?” She smiles, her eyes reflecting the snow and blades of the northern frontier. “Someone... who wants to survive and make sure her enemies meet a terrible end.” From the inner mansion to the imperial court, from the women's quarters to the battlefield, she wields weapons of war once more in a woman's body. She will not only claim vengeance for her former self, but also carve out a boundless future for the Shen Weiwan of this life. And the man who has always stood behind her ultimately becomes the reason she lays down her armor: “Ling Yunxiao died for her country. Shen Weiwan was born for you.”
