She Wields a Big Blade

"They try to bury me while stealing my deeds to praise 'me.' What does that tell you? They're afraid of me. And when humanity faces extinction again, they come begging me for help." Blurb 1: For a thousand years, people have debated one question: Is Lord Dihun a man or a woman? Legend has it that, back then, Lord Dihun wore red, held the blazing sun in her hand, and led humanity to subdue the Yaoshou. At Luming Pass on the northern border, she carved these words with her blade. A thousand years of wind and rain could not erase them: She wields a great blade. From here on, she can level the mountains and seas. Some believe Lord Dihun was a woman. Others guess that the "she" in the tale was merely Dihun's beloved confidante. Still others think that Dihun, who conquered the land, was a woman, but later gave her title to the man she loved... Newly awakened a thousand years later, Dihun, or rather Qin Yan, scoffed at all this. "Sorry, but I am Dihun." A thousand years ago, she miscalculated. She never expected the future to become an era when men were valued above women. But a thousand years later, she would not repeat the same mistake. She would make them pay double for everything they had buried. Blurb 2: The history books say that the Father God created the Canglan Continent, that Lord Dihun quelled the Yaoshou and carried on the Father's will by acting as Heaven's agent and founding the Divine Dynasty. But what if the history books are wrong? At seventeen, Qin Yan had only two goals: stay alive and make money. At thirty-four, as long-sealed memories began to awaken, she transformed into the revered Lord Dihun of primeval history, who led humanity in driving out the Yaoshou and founded the Divine Dynasty. Qin Yan: Didn't you say I was a man? Then hurry up and find the male Dihun to save you. Don't keep people waiting, or you might not even make it in time to be reincarnated while it's still warm. Everyone: My lady, it was all our ancestors' doing. It had nothing to do with us! When the mother goddess who birthed an entire continent becomes the Father God who created the world; when Lord Dihun, revered for driving out the Yaoshou and founding the Divine Dynasty, is rewritten as a man in the history books... Qin Yan tears apart the clouds, and little by little, the buried history comes to light, revealing the long-sealed truth. Ah, I'm terrible at writing blurbs. That's it. Reader's guide: 1. A female-first principle. The author is still only beginning to awaken, though, so if anything makes you uncomfortable, say so in the comments and we can discuss it together. 2. The team is all women. Besides the female lead's big moments, the other women will have their own moments to shine too. If a female character is written badly, that's my fault. Don't blame the character. 3. The female lead has no romance, but other women may have one-sided crushes. The story doesn't endorse them, and I'll do my best to write those parts well. As I said, if I don't, that's on me. 4. Women are the strongest. Theme: Stand on your own and grow strong.
