Blood Sacrifice to the Tang Dynasty: I’ll Trade the Empress’s Fortune to Bring Him Back
In 2030, special forces soldier Lin Xiaoxiao and her teammates are betrayed by their political commissar, and the entire unit is wiped out. Her lover, Su Zhe, sacrifices his broken body to the Reversal Stone, sending her to the early Tang Dynasty so she can escape hell.
After transmigrating to the Tang Dynasty, the Reversal Stone at Lin Xiaoxiao’s neck becomes a blood-red mark. It can only be repaired by absorbing the life force of the strong, and completing the repair is her only hope of resurrecting Su Zhe. She takes in an orphan boy, Su Yi, as her disciple and trains local militia using modern special forces tactics. She also unexpectedly encounters a young Wu Meiniang, the "vessel of imperial destiny" sensed by the Reversal Stone.
To obtain the energy needed to repair the stone, Lin Xiaoxiao and the Su family army plunge into a whirlpool of political intrigue. She helps Duan Zhixuan survive a deadly crisis and earn the military’s trust, clears a path for Meiniang amid the palace struggles in Chang'an, and uses ancient martial arts and modern ingenuity to maneuver among power brokers such as Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji. With the precision and ruthlessness of a special forces soldier, she breaks through one crisis after another. The Reversal Stone’s powers help her turn the tide, but as she protects Meiniang and opposes Zhangsun Wuji, she gradually comes to see the Tang Dynasty as home.
When Li Shimin falls gravely ill, the princes fight for the throne, and the Turks invade, Lin Xiaoxiao faces her ultimate choice: sacrifice the empress’s fortune to bring Su Zhe back, or protect everything in this chaotic age that she has already grown attached to? Tempered in blood and fire, the collision between a modern warrior and the turbulent Tang Dynasty is rewriting the course of history and fate.
꧁❦༺ "The Essence of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine"༻❦꧂Life in this world is but a fleeting illusion, lasting only a few decades. From the moment we gain knowledge and understanding, we toil day and night, busy and preoccupied, all for the sake of supporting ourselves, maintaining a respectable image, and leaving something for our descendants. The root of this problem lies in our delusion and attachment to the "self," our unwillingness to let go.
