Sword Sovereign Qingchen: Toppling the Kingdom

In her previous life, Su Li was the Sword Venerable, but her Dao companion and junior sister, Lin Qingxuan, betrayed her, leaving her dead and her soul extinguished. When she opened her eyes again, she was the eldest legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo’s family in the mortal realm, with only a wisp of her soul remaining and barely any cultivation.

Behind the high walls of the household, her hypocritical cousin hides a dagger behind her smile. The court is rife with intrigue, and Crown Prince Xiao Jingxuan closes in at every turn. In the palace’s whirlpool, Consort Yun Zhi has exhausted every scheme. Armed with nothing but ordinary iron, Su Li makes her heart her sword and begins the path of cultivation anew amid the political machinations.

When the long-concealed Prince Chen, Chu Yin, offers to join forces with her, will they advance together, or turn each other into pieces on a chessboard? Standing atop the surging tide, Su Li points her sword at her foes and vows to defeat every enemy in this life and settle every score from her past. She will turn the mortal world into a crucible and rekindle the path to the Sword Venerable’s return!
