Gunmetal Empress

At the tender age of nine, Princess Mei of the Sheng Empire was wrenched from her home and forced into exile by the usurper who murdered her family. For the next seven years, she led the remaining loyalists in a struggle to retake the throne. But it was all for naught in the end -- after watching thousands of her followers die in vain, she took a vial of poison and poured it into her drink.

But her story wouldn't end there...

After losing consciousness, star university student Sophie Zhu finds herself transmigrated into Mei's ailing body. And though she is overwhelmed at first, she comes to accept her new reality, a reality where magic exists and an entire empire is hunting her down.

Faced with the dangers of an unfamiliar world, the young princess must draw on everything she knows in her struggle to survive.

And when she finally comes into her own, bringing her knowledge of her old world into the new... she begins to reclaim what's rightfully hers.
