Young Blood and the Dark River: Reborn as the Strongest Under Heaven

Derivative work + no romance + reborn female protagonist + wuxia + political intrigue + woman disguised as a man + ensemble cast

Beginning in Tianqi, she is the junior martial uncle of the Eight Young Masters of Beili, the number one swordswoman in the realm who inherits the sword and protects the Dao after Li Changsheng, and Ye Dingzhi's friend and “elder.” She also becomes close friends with the Umbrella Ghost and the Funeral Master of the Dark River...

In her previous life, she was the younger sister of Emperor Mingde Xiao Ruojin and Prince Langya Xiao Ruofeng. She should have been the most honored and carefree princess in Tianqi, but after witnessing brothers turn against each other in the struggle for imperial power and the bloody end of the Prince Langya case, she chose to stay away from Tianqi for the rest of her life. She became a reclusive swordswoman of the jianghu, and died after comprehending a sword technique. Reborn with the memories of two lifetimes as her blade, she is determined to protect her elder brothers and break the fateful chain that says “there is no kinship among the imperial family.” At a young age, she became Li Changsheng's friend despite their difference in age, and roamed the jianghu calling herself the “junior martial uncle” of the Eight Young Masters of Beili. The younger generation in Snow Moon City all call her “Martial Uncle Ning.” She has no interest in the honor of being a princess, but uses her royal status to help her fellow jianghu practitioners avoid political turmoil time and again. She is a special link between the Beili court and the jianghu, striving to escape the chains of fate and making many close friends along the way.

All she wants is to save the people she wants to save and protect the bonds she holds dear.
