MerQu

In a kingdom where strength is everything, royal blood has long ceased to produce true powerhouses. Sects and clans are just waiting for our family to show weakness so they can tear us apart.

"I was born as a princess in the most powerful lineage in the world… but that lineage is now on the verge of collapse."

But this lineage is not dead yet.

"He" is still here.
A being feared even by the strongest cultivators.
The only reason this kingdom still stands.

And me?

If I want to survive in a world where only power matters… I must become a monster feared by all.
But in this new world, can I survive - as a man trapped in a woman’s body - where only strength determines your worth?

Shadow Over the Heavenly Throne

"Alright, bunny. No wall runs today, no faceplanting on the stones. Today... we're going to think."

Calista crouched and began drawing something in the sand with a stick. Circles. Lines. Symbols. It didn't look like anything from a textbook. It looked... old.

"Do you know what cultivation is?" she asked without looking up.

"Absorbing Qi?" Shion replied cautiously.

"That's like saying cooking is throwing stuff into a pot. Technically true. Practically? You'll poison yourself."

She sat cross-legged and pointed at Shion.

"Let's start from the beginning. Qi is energy. Not magic. Not a miracle. A force that flows through everything. Stones. Trees. Us. But our bodies? They weren't built to handle it. They're weak. They break under its weight. That's why children who don't strengthen their bodies early can literally shatter during their first real intake."

Alright, bunny. Enough theory for now
