With a natural gift in martial arts, and the mind of a legendary strategist, she climbs up the ranks of society, occasionally falling and being called traitor, but not afraid to rise up again. Now living as a traveling merchant under the name of Li Changge, she seeks to exact revenge upon her uncle.Ĭhangge is the strongest female MC I know. It's the story of a coup d'état in ancient China that resulted in the death of the entire imperial family but the emperor's brother, man behind the coup d'état, and the princess Yongning, who managed to escape but is officially accounted for dead. Though incomplete due to the author's contract termination with the editor, the story is definitely worth it. Song of The Long March, or Changge Xing in Chinese ( Chouka Kou in Japanese ) is a manhua that I started reading when I was ten. The romance is a lot more prevalent in Akatsuki No Yona and in this manga there is a good portion of comedy, which works pretty well. Princess Chang Ge Li (Song of the long march) is extremly clever, curious and educated in diverse matters like politics, war, diplomacy, philosophy, self-defense and even learns foreign languages while Yona only 'learnt' to be a cute princess at the start of the story (but that changes afterwards). You'll find no fantasy element in Song of the long march, the approach is pretty realistic and related to China's history. Geopolitics is a critical issue for our two heroines, who deeply care about their country. It all takes place in historical settings : Old china for the Song of the long march and an imaginery old country for Akatsuki no yona (swords, spears and bows are the main weapons). These maidens have strong character with some weaknesses and doubts sometimes.

2 Princesses must flee and hide after a coup.
