She Was Once a Woman of the Jianghu

It is now the seventeenth year of Chongzhen under the Ming, the first year of Shunzhi under the Qing, and the first year of Yongchang under the Great Shun.

What does that mean?

It means the Ming emperor Chongzhen is still alive, Li Zicheng is about to enter Beijing, and the Qing emperor Shunzhi will also ascend the throne this year.

Chaos. Utter chaos.

Liu Miao'er was once the chief boss of the old Jianghu, granddaughter of Liu Wantong, head of the Changchun Society. She surpassed her grandfather in skill, mastering every trick in the book: swindling and conning, fortune-telling and face-reading, singing and acting, acrobatics and hard-style kung fu, even peddling quack remedies...

There was nothing she couldn't do.

She could see through a con at a glance, and just as easily lay an even bigger trap herself.

She came from the Jianghu, bringing with her three hundred years of cons, patter, know-how, and tricks of the trade.

To an era where the Changchun Society did not yet exist.

To a Jianghu where every school and faction pursued its own path, with no one yet to unite them under a single command.

The Changchun Society had no grand boss, either, nor any rules strong enough to keep the three religions, nine schools, and seventy-two trades in line.

One day, Liu Miao'er wakes up in a ruined temple in the first year of Shunzhi. She has not a penny to her name, and the only person beside her is a dazed little beggar who calls her "brother."

She has no golden finger, no System, and no pocket dimension.

All she has is her silver tongue, sharp eyes, a thorough understanding of the Jianghu's ways, and a bag of tricks this era has never seen.

She came from the Jianghu in her previous life, and in this life she will make her way in the Jianghu once more.

This time, she will be the one moving the pieces.

And while she's at it, she'll send all the male leads soaring to success.

As for who will be the one for her, that depends on who is most devoted.
