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

One whip struck from the side, curving mid-air like it had eyes of its own. Another ripped just above Calista's head, close enough that she felt the whistle of air searing past her ear.

"Fifth Petal. Lotus Path" she whispered.

Before the first whip could crash into where she had just stood, Calista had already reappeared several meters away. Her foot barely kissed the surface before another water lash cut the air, forcing her to teleport again—and again. Every location she moved to was instantly targeted.

Her silhouette flickered across the water like a shadow dancing between lightning strikes.

Her hand stretched to the side. The water beneath Calista began to swirl, spiral, sink.

Time to end this
