I Reincarnated as the Villainous Princess, So Why Is My Archrival Losing Her Cool?

Xu Zhaozhao transmigrates into the most vicious villain in the book, Princess Zhaoming.

From the start, she's caught in a deadly predicament: she's in the middle of abducting a young general who hates her to the core, right in the street.

In the original story, this forced marriage marks the beginning of her doom. Three years later, she is pierced by a thousand arrows.

To stay alive, Xu Zhaozhao decides to put her best skills as a murder-mystery host to use...

Can't fight? Then she'll rely on muscle memory to unleash her full power, put on a silver mask, and become the greatest heroine of the martial world, Zhaoye.

There are spies in her residence? Then she'll act alongside all the fake male consorts, and uncover a shocking conspiracy in the process.

She does everything she can to keep the general, her sworn enemy, alive, deliberately playing the part of a heartless, useless fool.

Until the day of the palace coup, when the Prince Regent laughs and declares that the princess is trapped like a turtle in a jar.

Xu Zhaozhao sighs helplessly. "Enough pretending. Draw your blades."

The delicate male consorts in her residence, all jealous and competing for her favor, reveal their secret identities in unison. Their blades flash, lighting up the capital.

The entire court is left questioning everything it believed.

But the cool, distant general who once hated her to the core presses her into his arms, eyes red.

"Your Highness once said there were too many male consorts in your residence. How about keeping just me now?"
