   Alternate history, intelligent protagonists, no system, high-scoring works.

    Everything you mentioned is there; it's an original, pure martial arts story. I just wanted to try making a female character the protagonist, so the main character is a girl. But it's not a female-oriented story, it's a male-oriented story.

    Based on the Ming Dynasty of 1566, this is a martial arts and political intrigue novel... The imperial court and the martial world are inseparable (obsession with immortality, power). The male protagonist's father is the most powerful person in the world (no arrogance, as safe as it gets...). It's an ensemble piece where everyone is the protagonist of their own world (brotherhood, patriotism). The entire main cast is intelligent, not overly sentimental, and decisive in their actions.
