Pearl of the Stars

Song Chunshi had thought that it would be a normal outing to the local bookstore. Instead, she woke up marooned on a barren planet in the distant future, with only her grandfather's martial arts training to help her survive. However, where that becomes a panicked fight to stay alive, it is also a revelation as her old-school martial arts can channel a force that even the best mechas cannot touch.

As a student at the Imperial Military Academy, Song Chunshi astounds the interstellar civilization by cleaving a mecha in half with a single blow of his sword. Now suddenly, she's not just another lost girl from the past — she's an heir to a form of ancient art that could transform the future of humanity. As nations compete for her expertise, and lavishing her with wealth including her own planet, she has only one goal in mind: make enough to get back to Earth, where she can save her elderly grandfather.

But when she learns that Earth is facing the same catastrophe that once drove humanity out among the stars, her mission becomes much more complicated. With foreknowledge, insane fighting skills, growing wealth and influence, can she save her world — and reunite with the only family she's got left?
