The Truth Lies at My Sword's Edge [Wuxia Crossover]

Ming Lai got her hands on an ancient-style wuxia game. If she was going to roam the jianghu, of course she had to max out her strength, physique, and aptitude. There weren't enough points for everything, so she'd just have to make do with the rest.

Her physique, aptitude, and looks were all exceptionally high. Unfortunately, her family background was a disaster.

She became an orphan with both parents dead, forced to depend on others.

No matter. As long as she was strong!

Her aunt and mother had once arranged an engagement for her, but her fiancé, Li Xunhuan, wanted to give her to his sworn elder brother.

Ming Lai: ???

First of all, I'm an independent person with a mind of my own. No one gets to force me to do anything.

Then, let's fight.

The winner gets to call the shots!

What a trashy jianghu, looking down on women. In the end, Ming Lai destroyed the Money Gang, wiped out the Divine Blade Hall, took over the Ten Thousand Horse Gang, and unified the jianghu. From then on, no one dared make a ranking without including female heroes.

Then the imperial court joined forces to crush her rebellion, forcing Ming Lai to rise up against it.

After her first life, Ming Lai decided she couldn't give up on having a decent family background. At the very least, she raised her bankrupt family's assets into double digits.

She became a disciple of the Divine Water Palace, with no idea who her parents were.

No matter. As long as she was strong!

Every four years, a man would come to see her and cry his eyes out.

Ming Lai: Will you quit it? Stop bothering me while I'm practicing my swordsmanship.

Later, a flamboyantly dressed bald monk invited her to discuss (romantic) feelings and preach about (love).

Ming Lai: Will you quit it? Stop bothering me while I'm practicing my swordsmanship!

The sect's treasured Heavenly One Divine Water was stolen. Senior Sister Gong Nanyan accused her of taking it, and sect leader Water Mother Yin Ji wanted to put her under house arrest.

Ming Lai: I'm not falling into the trap of having to prove my innocence.

First of all, I haven't done anything wrong. The burden of proof is on the accuser!

Then, let's fight.

The one with the bigger fists gets to decide!

In the end, she exposed the hypocrisy of Shaolin and the Beggars' Sect, destroyed the Stone Forest Grotto, took over the Silk Road, unified the jianghu, and set off on the road to rebellion once again.

Ming Lai: ??? Wait, how did I end up rebelling again?

In her third life, Ming Lai decided that maybe having a good family background wasn't all that important. She stood firm in her commitment to strength and became an orphan struggling to survive with her lame younger sister.

Whatever. As long as she was strong!

She beat up everyone who came to steal from her, got a master for free when one showed up at her door, and eventually became the Grand Palace Master of the Flower Shifting Palace.

Great, this was the right way to play the game.

Then she met the number one beauty in the jianghu, a man who couldn't understand plain speech.

She'd been kind enough to save him, and he decided that meant she was in love with him. Then he got together with the maid who was taking care of him, not only breaking the rules of the Flower Shifting Palace but also trying to elope with her.

When the palace rules were enforced as usual, he acted as if she were a spurned lover trying to harm him and the maid's child. Then his idiot sworn elder brother jumped in to defend justice.

Ming Lai: Excuse me? Where does he get off? And he dares spread rumors that I'm having an affair!

Forget it. Let's fight.

If I win, I'll take Yan Nantian as compensation!

Later, she became an empress.

·

Ming Lai: Wait, wasn't I playing a game about fighting it out in the jianghu?

Oh well. The jianghu is rotten, and everywhere else is just as bad.

Guess I'll have to unify the whole world.

A love story like a home invasion, one CP per world: Jing Wuming, Yi Dianhong, Yan Nantian.

Empress: I came, I saw, I conquered.

Theme: Stand on your own two feet and grow strong, and you can take control of your fate.
