[Blurb provisional. I'll revise it if I come up with something better.]
Liu Jiao had been just one step away from shattering the void, but her tribulation had failed. After repairing her damaged soul, she opened her eyes in the darkness and discovered that she had transmigrated again.
This time, she had arrived in the parallel world's late Eastern Han dynasty and been reborn as a seemingly ordinary, foolish girl.
The moment she regained consciousness was terribly inconvenient. A problem that urgently needed solving lay before Liu Jiao.
"Madam Xu, please get in the carriage." Cao Chun wore armor and held a sharp sword. Behind him stretched the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, so far that the end was out of sight.
"I'd rather die than go with you!" Old Madam Xu sneered.
In 208 AD, Cao Cao assembled his troops and marched south into Jingzhou to pursue Liu Bei. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry rode day and night, covering more than three hundred li, and scattered the fleeing civilians near Dangyang.
According to the historical account, Xu Shu's mother would soon be taken prisoner, causing Xu Shu to leave Liu Bei and join Cao Cao.
After quickly grasping the situation, Liu Jiao pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Madam Xu and the civilians. She raised a hand and summoned her life-bound sword, then said slowly, "Come any closer, and I'll kill you."
Cao Chun looked at her with disdain and rode one step forward.
The gleaming blade flashed. Liu Jiao moved like a ghost, cutting down the enemy and his horse together.
The surroundings fell silent. A moment later, everyone came to their senses and charged at her like madmen to avenge their commander... and then they died, too.
Standing in a pool of blood, Liu Jiao wiped the blood splashed across her cheek and turned back with a slow smile. "Don't be afraid. I'll escort you to find Lord Xuande."
[Reader's Guide]
· The heroine is a little unhinged, chaotically good, and somewhat nasty. She's a bug, just half a step away from ascending to godhood, and no one can beat her.
· Her identity is obvious from the title. This is my dream of a successful Northern Expedition. The heroine is first the late emperor's crown princess, then ascends the throne, and her heir is also her daughter. As for the male lead, we'll see how the story develops. Honestly, this time period makes it hard to choose. The ones I like are either taken, on the opposing side, or already dead. I'll mark it when I've decided. There will be other characters who aren't romantic pairings but will have one-sided crushes on the heroine.
· This is a parallel timeline and historical fanfiction, focused on storytelling, not official history. The timeline and characters' ages will be adjusted extensively for the plot. Some forms of address will also be changed to better suit modern readers. It won't be entirely historically accurate and will lean toward plain language, so please don't nitpick the historical details. It really won't stand up to scrutiny.
· Most importantly: readers who spend money on the story are welcome to leave zero or negative ratings, vent, and criticize the plot however they like. But please don't attack me personally or make baseless accusations. If you maliciously insult the author, I'll lie down at your front door and pretend you hit me. (Not really.)
In short, if you can accept all that, feel free to read it for fun. If you can't, please run for the hills. Let's respect each other.
