Undergoing a full rewrite...
A 996 office worker wakes up to discover she's become the maidservant accompanying the young mistress of an official's household.
She'd hoped to keep her head down until she could earn her freedom. But after repeatedly witnessing injustice, her fists always moved faster than her brain. She caused trouble time and again, and even got blood on her hands.
Then the dynasty began to crumble, and amid the chaos of war, the women of a once sheltered household became helpless leaves adrift in a troubled world.
To protect a group of companions who couldn't hurt a fly, Luo Kui was forced to carve a bloody path with her blade. From a cautious maidservant accompanying her mistress, she became a bandit chief who could kill with a single swing and rule the mountains.
Tsk, wasn't she supposed to keep her head down and survive? How did she end up becoming a ruler in the chaos?
