The Legend of Fengwu

A strong female lead, with no transmigration, no pocket dimension, and no System.

The heroine, Shen Qingwu, comes from a fallen gentry family in Jiangnan during the Great Jing dynasty. Well-read from childhood, she learns martial arts, medicine, farming, embroidery, and other skills from a succession of teachers after her family falls on hard times. Tough and independent, she lives by the creed, “The more skills you have, the better. Strength decides everything.” She rejects all supernatural assistance, with no pocket dimension, System, or golden finger, and relies solely on her own abilities to survive in troubled times. Rising from the countryside to the imperial court, she eventually shapes the fate of the dynasty and becomes a legend for the ages.
