I Started a Rebellion After Getting a Golden Finger

On Monkey Head Mountain in Xijing stands the Heaven-Turning Stronghold.

The stronghold is full of remarkable people. Third Uncle, who chops firewood, once led an army of a hundred thousand to sweep across the land. The white-haired old man who works the fields was once a renowned scholar of the previous dynasty, sent as an envoy to foreign nations.

After transmigrating, Wen Qing'er was raised in the stronghold to be proficient in the four arts: music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Her martial arts were the one exception, doing little credit to the reputation of the Qi Family Army.

Then one day, she acquired a golden finger.

Ding! Golden finger acquired: 100% chance to cut down your enemy.

From then on, Wen Qing'er gave up her books and took up arms. Wielding a two-meter-long saber, she darted like a phantom through armies to take the enemy general's head.

Xijing lies on the frontier, where banditry runs rampant. The court sent idle imperial clansman Qi Kangping to suppress the bandits and restore order.

He never expected that the Heaven-Turning Stronghold was in need of a member of the imperial family to serve as a figurehead, giving them a legitimate pretext to set things right.

Qi Kangping was bundled into a sack and carried up the mountain. Wen Qing'er held her two-meter-long saber and smiled like a man-eating flower. "By blood and seniority, you should call me Auntie."

Qi Kangping furrowed his brow. "Ha. I could be your ancestor."

The emperor of Qi was incompetent and immoral. The dynasty was on the brink of collapse, and the people were living in misery.

The Heaven-Turning Stronghold of Xijing suddenly rose up, raising the banner of rebellion. It not only crushed foreign enemies and reclaimed lost territory, but also seized land and declared itself a kingdom, raising the banner of rebellion once more.

Rumor had it that the Heaven-Turning Army of Xijing thirsted for blood and devoured people when hungry, and that its leader was a female yaksha, a demon from the heavens. The army recruited remnants of the previous dynasty and heirs of rebel kings, while notorious bandits and criminals served as its generals.

The news reached the court, nearly scaring the wise, brave, benevolent, and merciful Great Sage Emperor out of his wits.

An alternate setting with many original elements. A rebellion story with an ensemble cast and many supporting characters.

A delicate, soft-bodied, guaranteed-to-kill female bandit + a laid-back prince forced into the role (no blood relation)

Theme: Even Heaven grows old when it has feelings; the righteous path of the world is forged through hardship.
