Pan Jinlian's Masterstroke: Ximen Qing Is My Stepping Stone

Lin Qingci, codename “Celadon,” was the first female commander of a special forces unit in the Huaguo Army. She died in a border decapitation operation.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become Pan Jinlian of Yanggu County. She was holding arsenic, Wu Dalang lay beside her, and Ximen Qing waited outside.

The original script: poison her husband and die horribly at Wu Song’s hands. She refuses to play along.

With a special forces soldier’s mind in an ancient woman’s body, she swaps the arsenic for a life-saving pill and fakes her death, only to come back to life the very next day.

Murderous intent hides in Ximen Qing’s silver, and knives lurk beneath Granny Wang’s smiling face.

This isn’t a household power struggle. It’s an infiltration mission behind enemy lines. This isn’t vying for favor in the inner quarters. It’s a counterattack to wipe out the opposition.

From Yanggu County to all of Song China, from plotting Ximen Qing’s death to taking control of Liangshan, Lin Qingci will use modern tactical thinking to turn the terrible hand fate dealt her into a winning one.

Clear her name? No need. She was innocent all along.
