    I'm looking for a novel with a Female Warrior. Something about her heading to war and her experiences. She has to be a bit badass in my opinion. Preferably no romance but romance is okay too! During ancient china setting.

    In an ancient China setting ... 99% of those will be romance for sure. I can only think of two, the first one maybe without any war in it:

    Jiang Hu’s Road is Curved
    Great Han’s Female General Wei Qiqi

    I haven't read the first one, and the second one ... Is not a novel I'd wholeheartedly recommend. But it fits I guess.

    Crossing to the Future, it’s Not Easy to Be a Man

    Think this one fits the bill except the ancient china setting.

    This one is not exactly set in ancient china setting and has a very slow romance.. but i recommend this novel "The Military Female Soldier With Unwavering Stubbornness"

    The novel "Descent of the Phoenix – 13 Years Old Princess Consort" is also good but it has romance

    Are about women...more or less (one is thought to be a boy throughout, one is a female spider and the other is a man turned into a girl)...and has no romance. They are all pretty strong specially with their mentality and I really enjoyed reading all of them very much.
    But it's not about ancient china...you put too many conditions on the novel you're looking for, it'll be pretty hard to find something that meets all of those requirements.

    +1 to this novel, it's a good one that has both hand to hand fighting and mecha fighting.

    Well... it's not a novel, but if you are interested in movie recommendation, you can look for Mulan: Rise of a warrior. It's a Chinese adaptation of the confucean myth, more acurate than the Disney animation. Or you can go and read the actual story by Confucius. It is very interesting, and not as boring as it may sound. But I am easy to please as a reader.
    If you are not intersted, forget it. *fly away*

    It's more of an AU ancient China, but you might like Phoenix Destiny. There's been no romance at all so far, and that doesn't seem likely to change any time soon.
