A Max-level Princess Travels Back to Ancient Times, Starting Off by Saving a Crippled Prince

Tong Shuxue, a brilliant scientist and Major General from 2050, is transported through a black hole during a spatial energy experiment into the ancient Great Yong Kingdom. She lands on a prison cart carrying Zhao Jingyuan, the exiled Prince of Dingbei, who is accused of treason. Immediately threatened by Yamen officers, Tong Shuxue is rescued by her ten advanced robots, Ling Yi through Ling Shi, which materialize from her chip-based dimensional space. After eliminating the attackers, she retreats into her space to treat her injuries and recharge her systems, discovering that her dimensional space, though damaged, remains functional. She learns from wanted posters that she is implicated as a foreign spy who rescued the War King, forcing her to flee into the mountains to avoid capture.

Tong Shuxue finds a secluded valley hidden behind cliffs and a concealed cave entrance, ideal for hiding. There, she encounters Zhao Jingyuan and his remaining loyalists, who are being hunted by the Emperor’s elite Feiyu Army and Tieying Guard. Zhao Jingyuan is critically injured, suffering from severed tendons and a severe fever. Tong Shuxue agrees to let them stay in exchange for information and loyalty, using her modern medicine to stabilize his condition. She demonstrates her technological superiority by annihilating over six hundred enemy soldiers with minimal effort, securing the valley’s safety.

As Zhao Jingyuan recovers, Tong Shuxue explores the surrounding area with her robots. Ling San discovers a rich gold deposit deep in the mountains, providing a potential resource for their future. Tong Shuxue establishes a temporary base in the valley, constructing a wooden cabin and setting up surveillance perimeters. She maintains a cautious relationship with Zhao Jingyuan, aware that his political enemies are still searching for him. The robots gather intelligence from nearby villages, revealing public sympathy for the Prince and suspicion that the Emperor framed him to seize military power.

Zhao Jingyuan shares his backstory: his father, the former Prince of Dingbei, was assassinated while returning to the capital, and he was subsequently accused of colluding with enemies. Despite his crippled state, he remains a strategic leader, and his subordinates are fiercely loyal. Tong Shuxue recognizes his potential value as an ally and decides to help him recover, though she remains focused on her own survival and eventual return to her time. The story ends with both parties preparing for future conflicts, as the Emperor’s forces continue to close in on their hidden sanctuary.
