She killed her father from the start! The instant she transmigrated, Song Zhiliao witnessed an act of violence and transmigrated into the body of the original owner, who had endured the same thing. Acting on instinct, she fought back and killed the original owner's father.
Her “father” was dead.
Song Zhiliao put on his official robes, took his name, and entered the court of the Great Qin, all to save the lives of the dozen or so members of the Song family.
One moment of carelessness, and after just three days at court, she was unfamiliar with Great Qin's laws and customs. Emperor Zhaolie issued an imperial decree exiling her entire family.
With her head shaved and dressed in coarse brown clothes, Song Zhiliao carried out a secret order to revise the Qin statutes. Along the thousand-mile road into exile, rival factions clashed at every turn. She fought her way forward and became a legendary bald warrior wielding twin axes, known as the “Jade-Faced Rakshasa.”
Emperor Zhaolie relied on her as if she were his own arm, while the court officials feared her like a beast of prey. But no secret can stay hidden forever. Rumors spread through the court and across the land: “Tingwei Hanzhang is actually a woman!”
Song Zhiliao did not deny it. The ministers indignantly demanded her execution.
Emperor Zhaolie asked, “In the Qin statutes you revised for me, is there a single line that says women cannot hold office?”
Meeting the emperor's gaze, she replied, “Your Majesty, I didn't write one.”
The emperor smiled and thought to himself, “I, too, can become that charming old ancestor.”
An ensemble cast story, with every character a lunatic. The female lead has no romance.
