Mirror of the God-Emperor

by spirapira

The story centers on Zhan Changfeng (湛长风), the “crown prince” of the Yin Dynasty, who is actually female but was raised disguised as male from childhood. She’s the heir to the “Emperor’s Art” lineage, and the novel follows her growth and cultivation as she walks the Emperor’s Dao (帝道), wielding the Dao Seal and traversing the myriad heavens.

This is a very popular novel on Qidian’s Female site but is very rare that there is, as far as I can tell, zero romance. The main character is a female, but is a born prodigy at both the Dao and rulership, and she cultivates and strives in a traditional style for a “male” type novel.

The first 80 chapters are so are basically just a setup (!)
