Transmigration × a tale of a formidable woman vying for power in a chaotic age
Li Zhaoning, a graduate student in history, becomes the orphaned daughter of a wealthy merchant family wiped out in 17 AD.
Drawing on her in-depth research into the peasant uprisings between the Western and Eastern Han dynasties, she joins Lü Mu in Haiqu.
The woman whom the history books call “China's first named female leader of an uprising” is running a tavern by the Gu River, gathering followers, and laying a deadly trap.
After Lü Mu dies of illness, Li leads her former followers through the turmoil of the age, until Liu Xiu, who comes from Chunling, appears and leaves her unable to make sense of history's course for the first time.
The history books say that Lü Mu died of illness and Chi Zhaoping retired from the world.
They don't say that someone helped them live to see the end.
