Her Father and Brothers Fell in Battle, So She Drew Her Sword and Went on a Rampage, Storming the Palace Gates

[Strong female lead + genius + political intrigue + power progression + no stupidity + fiercely protective] Her four older brothers died in battle, her father vanished, and her mother lies gravely injured and unconscious. Her three widowed sisters-in-law have taken their husbands’ places defending the border. The only daughter of the Lu family, hidden away for years, has no choice but to reveal that she has reached the peak of the Qi Sect realm in order to protect her little brother, safeguard her grandmother, and save her mother. But exposing her strength also brings the secrets of her mother’s family to light. She learns that her family made her hide her abilities from childhood because an even greater enemy coveted their bloodline. To save her father and protect her family, Lu Shangshang has no choice but to walk the path of the strong. “The Tang family is nothing but nourishment for my clan!” Lu Shangshang raised her sword. “From now on, I’ll protect the Tang family!” “You can’t protect everyone by yourself!” Lu Shangshang’s black hair turned crimson in an instant. “Then I’ll slaughter every one of you parasites!” “But how many can one person kill? Even if we throw everything we have at you, you’ll still exhaust yourself and die.” Before Lu Shangshang could reply, an old man with an immortal air spoke lazily. “You think you’re the only ones who can call for backup?” Another old man with red hair put his hands on his hips and shouted, “You bunch of old turtles who’ve lived for who knows how many years, and you have the nerve to bully our disciple? I’m not dead yet!” Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a gorgeous woman appeared. She should have looked like a delicate beauty, but now she glared furiously and cursed at the other side. “You old bastards! You’ve been picking on the Tang family for years, thinking we had no one to stand up for us, haven’t you? Now you want to bully my niece too? I’ll smash every one of your old bones today!” And that wasn’t all. At some point, many people had gathered behind Lu Shangshang. Among them were her family, her friends, and her confidants.
