Phoenix Proudly Soars Across the Heavens: A Dream Like a Song

[No male lead. A lively, fake-good-for-nothing comeback in the early chapters, with a warning that the later story takes a dark, realistic turn. This is one of those blurbs you shouldn't take entirely at face value. The heroine is severely unhinged, so be warned.] To find the other half of her soul, Yue Meng gave up everything and used forbidden arts to transmigrate to the Biyun Continent in the Cangqiong Plane, becoming the Crown Prince of the Dongli Kingdom: a pseudo-male, a shemale, and a royal highness. Enter the academy, skip grades through exams, take first place in the Inter-Academy Tournament, and cross the sea to study abroad in Bixiao. Build the Dream Pavilion, become its master, and carve up the world's power base. In the struggle for power, with siblings each harboring their own ambitions, mysterious spies from the Western Regions, and a regent who holds sway over the court, who is using whom as a pawn? The succession ceremony is beset by one crisis after another: rebellion, betrayal, reversals, and yet more reversals. The Western Regions, Fuxue, Dongli, the Dream Pavilion, junior sisters, senior sisters: who is the mantis, and who is the oriole waiting behind it? Enter a secret realm and meet an old friend. What is the truth behind the past sealed away for so many years? In the Realm of Creation, unravel the clues to uncover the truth behind the war between gods and demons. The royal families of all four clans gather, and the smoke of war rises once more.
