Empress, Please Spare Me

After her elder brother disappears while fighting beyond the borders, Xia Qiu embarks on a long journey to find him. She will stop at nothing, even if the whole world becomes her enemy!

When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, my flowers bloom, and all other blossoms wither! A generation’s Empress, proving her Dao through slaughter! What does it matter if I’m a demon? Or an immortal? Through the mortal world’s endless turmoil, I wait for ten thousand years, devour the heavens, all for the return of one person!

(This is a female-dominant novel with no doting romance. Love is merely one thread in the story. The main focus is on how a female cultivator trains independently and rises in a world ruled by men. Read it as a cultivation novel. Women should not be men’s dependents. The independent path Xia Qiu takes in this patriarchal world is destined to be arduous, but she will never give up.)
