MESMERIZING GHOST DOTOR

Sun Glory Kingdom

Cloudy Moon City

Green peaks loomed, hidden behind surrounding clouds. Dense tall trees covered the high slopes as they swayed under the wind. The mountainous woods was seemingly tranquil and quiet on this dawn…..

However, deep within the remote and desolate woods, a cruel and bloodied scene was unfolding at that very moment.

A girl dressed in fine satin silks was being held down in a kneeling position with her arm twisted behind her back by two burly men. Her head hung low, barely conscious, her messed up hair covering over her face quickly getting soaked by the blood gushing out from her face. The bright red blood dripped drop by drop off the ends of the hair onto the ground, slowly seeping into the earth.

The badly weakened young girl gritted her teeth to raise her head when she heard footsteps approaching, revealing a blood covered face. That was a face that had been badly disfigured, the flesh on the face slashed open by blades, looking a complete gory mess, a shockingly terrifying sight to behold.

“Who are you? Why do you want to harm me?” The young girl’s voice was extremely weak, as it came out of her throat barely a whisper. She resisted strongly against blacking out from the excessive loss of blood as she focused her gaze on the face before her, shielded by a light gauze veil, and the shapely body of a beautiful lady.

The veiled lady wore a dress of light blue, the colour of cloudy skies, with tassels of the same colour hanging down softly from the hip, swishing gracefully in tandem with the lady’s light steps.

The lady’s steps stopped before the young girl who was held down to kneel on the ground. The lady glared down at the disfigured young girl, her beautiful eyes curved into two crescents as she smiled and said: “I am Feng Qing Ge, the Eldest Young Miss of the National Defence Mansion, daughter of the formidable General Feng Xiao. The Feng Family’s Young Miss, the future inheritor of the Feng Family, and also, the fiancee to the proud son of the Heavens, the Third Duke of the Sun Glory Country.”

The familiar sounding voice and the words the lady in front of her said, made the young girl open her eyes wide in shock. “You! Who are you really! ? I am Feng Qing Ge! I am the real Feng Qing Ge!” The weakened body trembled as a thought formed in her mind, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Fair slender fingers gently tugged and the light veil covering slowly fell. A face of unparalleled beauty with delicate features was revealed and reflected in the young girl’s widened eyes. When she saw the all too familiar countenance before her, the young girl was suddenly too shocked for words.

The flawlessly beautiful face raised up slightly as she glanced at the shocking and terrifying looking girl on the ground. Her voice was filled with endless anticipation and almost irrepressible excitement as she said: “Feng Qing Ge, from today onwards, I will be taking over your identity, your status, and naturally everything you own entirely. As for you…..” Her voice paused a moment and she gave a soft laugh. “As intelligent as you are, why don’t you guess what would happen to you?”

Hearing the person before her use her original voice to speak, Feng Qing Ge .

She, a modern hidden ghost leader of an organization which gathered insane prodigies proficient in the various differing skill-sets. Highly skilled in medicine and poison, executes covert assassinations, viewed as insane and demonic in the eyes of people of the world. Killed in an accident, and reborn into the body of a disfigured young girl.

What? Face disfigured, identity stolen? A return to the family dim and hopeless? Her identity can be given up, her family can be forgone, but as for the one who harmed her predecessor who inhabited this same body, if she didn’t at least make them scream in unimaginable agony and throw them into a state of wretchedness, how could she live up to her demonic reputation? Endless turmoil ensues and it’s a battle to dominate over all! See how she shook the world dressed in a suit of red, her sword up against the dominant powers that rocked the Heavens! Her name spread across the seas, shocking the (earth!*)

The Main Character, that transmigrated from modern times of a world without 'cultivation', has a consistent characterisation and is rather likable. Ruthless to those that cross her, but still in line with the amount of provocation - so far, I haven't felt that her reactions are excessive or too bloodthirsty (or bipolar) - as some novels have their MC's come across. Her 'main setting' is rather laidback and somewhat mischievous, but when pushed too far we get to see the competent assassin she is - and it's well executed in writing.

In the beginning, the MC has no cultivation, and is much weaker than the people she meets that have it - but instead of an immediate power-up the story instead shows us her (assassin) skills from her past life and how she uses them to keep up with the people of her new world. And while she does get 'cheats' - we are actually 'shown' (and not 'told') how she gets them - in my opinion it was rather well executed.

The secondary characters surrounding her are also quite well developed.
