The Han dynasty was a powerful empire. Since Emperor Wu's military might reached its peak, it had struck fear across the East, but his relentless wars also brought about its decline. Everything changed with the arrival of Wei Xueyin.
Wei Xueyin transmigrated to the Han dynasty with a head full of modern technology.
She introduced potatoes and sweet potatoes, ending famine in the Han empire!
She liberated minds, bringing back the golden age of the Hundred Schools of Thought!
She gave the Han dynasty gunpowder, guns, and cannons, raising it to the top of the world!
In later generations, people would speak of Wei Xueyin:
A formidable woman who stood toe to toe with Emperor Wu of Han.
A woman Chen A'jiao regarded as her mentor.
A woman General Huo Qubing admired all his life.
A woman who ensured no one in later generations would starve to death.
A woman with students all across the land, who founded the three great schools of physics, chemistry, and biology.
Wei Xueyin went hiking in the mountains, got lost, and somehow ended up in the Han dynasty thousands of years in the past.
A group of servants tied her up without a word and dragged her to a place called the Wei residence.
They all claimed to be her parents, and said she was Wei Xueyin, a concubine-born daughter of the Wei family. Her father was the Han nobleman Wei Wan.
Wei Xueyin had been caught having an affair with her brother-in-law and fled to the mountains. Now that she had been caught and brought back, they were about to drown her in a pig cage.
Wei Xueyin: “I have something I absolutely must say###!”
Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che: “I want to take a consort! How will Wei Xueyin react?”
Eunuch: “Your Majesty, General Wei (Qing), General Huo (Qubing), and Queen Chen (A'jiao) are all drinking at Miss Wei's estate!”
Eunuch: “Your Majesty! Erudite Dong (Zhongshu) and Official Dongfang (Shuo) are debating the Way with Miss Wei! They've started arguing!”
Eunuch: “Your Majesty!”
Liu Che: “What is it now?”
Eunuch: “Miss Wei drove the Xiongnu to their knees, begging for peace! She personally rescued Su Wu, the gentleman-in-attendance!”
The heroine is incredibly badass and satisfying!
She plants red flags all over the world in feudal antiquity!
