Jade Peak Realm. Ascension Gate. Three Broken Seals

Li Cang woke in a weak body and reached for the small box by her bed, where her hidden brush waited under dust and old cloth. Her memories were intact. Her strength was not. She had spent hundreds of lives solving dangerous tasks, so she read the room fast. The family who raised this body saw only a sick girl. Li saw old habits, secret fear, and a world that no longer remembered her name. A repaired ring band sits inside her book, and a mourning sash with a hidden mark waits in a bamboo tube. Then the same system that trained her once sends a woman from the other side of the board, and Li must face the fact that her enemy was also made by the same hand.
