Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers, Ming and Qing: the Biography of Qin Liangyu

From the second year of Wanli to the fifth year of Shunzhi (1574-1648), the Ming Dynasty fell from glory to darkness. Qin Liangyu, a strange woman born in a family of chieftains in eastern Sichuan, wears iron armor and holds a white spear. Her life has been ups and downs with the fate of the country for seventy-five years. She personally experienced the afterglow of the three great conquests of Wanli, and witnessed the tragic death of her brothers in the bloody battle of Hunhe River; she went out to conquer in the smoke of the Chongzhen Dynasty, but could not save the broken mountains and rivers. The fall of Beijing, the massacre of the city in the south of the Yangtze River, and the mourning of the Shu people... She used her ancient body to guard the isolated city of Shidi alone, with her heart always facing the bright and waning moon in the south. This is an epic that stares at the collapse of an empire through the eyes of a female commander. It describes the iron blood and desolation of changing dynasties, and also engraves the undying spirit of loyalty in troubled times.
