A judo enthusiast and amateur science writer wakes up in the body of a bandit chief’s daughter. Above her is an older brother who is violent and bloodthirsty; below her, a younger brother who is timid and kind. Outside, government troops are closing in. With their lives on the line, she steps forward: “I’m taking charge of this stronghold.”
Being the chief isn’t enough. She discovers a library in her mind containing the achievements of modern civilization. What’s more, she’s a martial arts expert with peerless saber skills. Beneath her Thunderclap Saber, all are equal.
It seems fate has decreed that I’m the one who will change this world.
So Xue Ning declares that the people must have enough to eat, officials must do their jobs, and soldiers must be able to fight.
Starting with people’s minds, she will turn this world upside down. Step by step, she brings industry to the land, leaving her mountain stronghold to “lay claim” to the world. From Lake Baikal to Alaska, from the Alps to the Cape of Good Hope, people everywhere sing her praises: Xue Ning, the Empress of the Great Ming.
Emperor Yelü Hongji of the Liao: “I never imagined there could be a woman more formidable than Xiao Chuo.”
Emperor Go-Sanjō of Japan: “My greatest regret in life is that I never met the Empress of the Great Ming.”
Alp Arslan of the Seljuk Empire: “I never thought I’d lose to a woman.”
Henry IV of the Holy Roman Empire: “An emperor should rule the world as decisively as Xue Ning does. Look at me, so miserable that I had to wear a penitent’s robe and stand barefoot in the snow for three days, begging the pope’s forgiveness just to keep my throne.”
Pope Gregory VII: “The light of God has not reached every corner of the world, but Xue Ning’s radiance is everywhere.”
It looks so confusing, so many typos
