“Who says females are weak and helpless? The dragons I've slain are beyond counting!”
Those words became a nightmare for the dragon race. Everyone on the Fanji Continent knew of that legendary female.
[Beast-world warfare + adored by a band of rogue beasts + heroine's journey to strength and transformation + multiple viewpoints + found-family story first, romance later]
The dragon race was warlike, and the phoenix race, the only one capable of keeping them in check, mysteriously vanished.
The Fanji Continent was plunged into war, and countless beastfolk became homeless rogue beasts.
After enduring hardship and dying as an unknown female demon slave on the Qinyuan Continent, she was reborn in this land in another's body.
She never expected to end up in a world ruled by beastfolk. Worse, she woke up in the middle of an escape and was picked up by a group of rogue beasts who could barely look after themselves.
White-haired lion: Little female, don't be afraid. From now on, this is your home.
One-armed ape: Little female, even with this broken body, I can keep you safe.
Toothless snake: Little female, don't worry. I'll be here while you take on the world.
Lame horse: I'll protect you.
They were all living miserable lives themselves, yet they used their broken bodies to build a wall around her and kept fighting the dragon race.
As they spent more time together, her long-frozen heart lowered its guard, and she came to truly see them as family.
So she decided to treasure this hard-won chance at a second life.
She would live a different kind of life, while also inheriting the female's name: Gu Qingwu.
Unwilling to live a second life only to be bullied by the dragon race again, she set out to cultivate diligently and change her fate through her own strength.
Later, many outstanding male beastfolk chase after her to join her rogue beast army, even begging her to give them a place by her side!
