The Supporting Actress Is Unrivaled

Mei Ying of Jialuchuan in Jiazhou was tall and beautiful, with astonishing strength. She and her younger sister Meihua had only each other. One day, a trafficker kidnapped her sister. Mei Ying crossed mountains and rivers for a thousand li in pursuit. In a fit of rage, she accidentally killed the trafficker. Her death sentence was commuted. She escaped execution, but was exiled to the frontier. From then on, Jialuchuan lost a woodcutter, and the frontier gained a low-ranking soldier. * To find her sister, she needed her freedom. To gain her freedom, she needed military merit. Like raw iron, she was thrown into the frontier, a land of bloodshed where the dead piled high. Monsters and demons coveted her in the army, while wolves and tigers prowled beyond the border. In this desolate wilderness of yellow sand, the only person she could rely on was herself. Starting as a convict soldier, she advanced one bloody step at a time. She forged her sword hilt from bones and honed its edge with blood, until at last she had crafted the sharpest blade in the realm. Where her blade pointed, ten thousand knelt. When it flashed, she was never defeated. In time, she led the three armies into battle as their commander. When she returned victorious, she saw her sister on the city wall, smiling as she ran toward her. At that moment, tears streamed down her face. That day, Mei Ying stood beside her horse, her battle robes stained with blood, atop the towering Great Wall as she gazed into the distance at the boundless sands and the sun setting over the great river. The willows she had planted beside the wall bowed their green branches in the breeze. The people gazed up at the Southern Dynasty's God of War, her legend carried on the wind. Her companions smiled as they helped her down from her horse. The emperor stood beside her, sharing the sunset. She felt a little dazed. Somehow, without even realizing it, she had journeyed across a thousand mountains and rivers. * A little scene with the emperor and the great general: At first, when the emperor rose up in rebellion during a time of decline, he was alone and without support. In marching and deploying his troops, he relied heavily on the great general. Fearing that the great general might have ulterior motives, someone advised the emperor: "The great general takes no pleasure in wine or music and has no fondness for gold or silver, so it would be difficult to tempt him into pledging loyalty. Why not send several handsome men to serve him with gentle, tender devotion? Their beauty is sure to captivate him and win his allegiance." The emperor's expression darkened. He gave no answer, dismissed everyone from the hall, and pondered the matter for a long time. That night, as crabapple blossoms opened beneath the moon, the emperor carried a phoenix lantern alone to the great general's courtyard and knocked three times. But the great general was sleeping soundly and never heard him. The emperor lingered for a long while, then returned, disappointed. P.S. 1. This is the story of a female convict soldier who crosses a field of bones and wields a bloodied blade to save her sister, step by step becoming a great general. It's a progression story. The heroine was born with divine strength and has maxed-out combat power, strong enough to lift a cauldron. 2. A brainless, feel-good progression story in a fictional setting. The frontier defenses and military system may draw on those of the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties. In this story, women can be sentenced to exile. 3. As usual, the author is particular about romance. One-to-one pairing, both leads are virgins, happy ending. The love interest is the aloof beauty Xie Tang. Theme: Women can stand on their own and hold up the sky
