[Major mistake ( ?? ﹏ ?? ) I put this in the wrong category, so I'm moving it to a different channel... And since I'm changing channels, I may tweak a few details depending on how things go. The story will mostly stay the same.]
Ming Che was furious. She'd been so pleased with herself for uncovering the secrets of the martial world, only to discover in the end that everything had been arranged by her master, Xiao Yanci. This time, she was absolutely not going to forgive him so easily.
Then, that very night, Ming Che bit into the pastry in her hand, narrowing her eyes.
"Mmm, delicious!"
On the rooftop, Xiao Yanci leaned casually against the eaves and smiled.
Reborn avenging female general x transmigrated empress who disguises herself as a man
[How their impressions of each other change]
Xiao Yanci: pitiful tyrant---annoying, but kind of cute kid---her former self, a rash young man with a sense of justice---a young emperor with a dazzling edge---a noisy puppy
Ming Che: revered legend---cool big sister---scheming master---heartache on learning her master has lived another life---reluctance when her master chooses to resign and leave---admiration turns into something else
[Must-read guide]
1. It's sort of a master-and-disciple story, but not entirely. Both heroines are protagonists, one in the foreground and one behind the scenes. The story focuses on the foreground plot, while the hidden plot serves it.
2. In the early chapters, the two heroines simply admire each other. It's completely, genuinely innocent! Later... it will probably turn into something else.
This is a provisional guide. I'll add to it whenever I think of something.
3. There's a bit of an ensemble cast, though I'm not sure I'll do it well.
In short: a corny martial-world story with court politics, inspired by a sudden idea after watching a certain show and wanting more. It's a wish-fulfillment story about a martial arts fan who transmigrates, and also about a female general who, after being reborn, is dragged back into darkness and finds salvation.
Theme: The truth hidden away will always come to light.
