The Villainess Is Back

[After discussing it with my editor, I've decided to start the paywall transition on June 12. The paywalled chapters begin with Chapter 28. If you've already read them, please don't buy them!]

An Yunrong is reborn and discovers that she has been living inside a book. Her own younger sister is the heroine, while she is the vicious villainess who is cursed by everyone and destined for a tragic end.

She did nothing wrong, yet she met a miserable fate, while the person responsible lived to see a house full of descendants. Given another chance, she will never spare the one who ruined her reputation.

Aren't you most attached to your golden finger? Then I'll take it from you.

Aren't you most pleased with your status? Then I'll make you watch as you become a prisoner.

Don't you love your husband most of all? Then I'll... Never mind, I don't want that scumbag either.

All I want is for my precious daughter Ling'er to live a peaceful life. But why does the back of my neck feel cold, as if something is watching me?

Ling Ruoheng: Rong'er, did you forget about me?

An Yunrong: Who are you? Step aside, you're blocking my light.

Ling Ruoheng: Rong'er, Ling'er is my precious daughter too. You can't abandon your husband and daughter!

An Yunrong: General Ling, mind your character. You're breaking character.

Blurb:

Before being reborn, Su Yuehu did everything she could to win Lu Yuhuai's affection, trying to become the person he loved. The sad truth was that she was just an inferior imitation, making a fool of herself.

Lu Yuhuai loathed her, blaming her for taking Su Jinhua's place. He constantly humiliated her, leaving her in the most remote corner of the Lu estate, where the servants sneered at her and outsiders mocked her. He didn't even come to see her on the day she breathed her last.

After being reborn, Su Yuehu finally saw the truth and made up her mind. To hell with Lu Yuhuai! I'm done serving him! I'm going after a bright future, with gold and jewels in my hands and handsome men in my arms!

Who would have thought that as soon as she made that vow, an imperial decree would arrive?

Su Yuehu, eldest daughter of the Su family, is hereby bestowed as the wife of Prince Jing. Their wedding shall be held on an auspicious day.

Su Yuehu: ...

Oh no, I was reborn too late!!!

Su Yuehu smiled serenely. So what? Lu Yuhuai is sickly. I'll just outlive him, and then no one can stop me from living the good life.

With the help of her golden finger, the cosmetics she makes help people stay young forever. The young ladies and wives of the capital chase after her, praising her nonstop.

The pastries she makes can even strengthen people's bodies. They say that even the emperor, who is supposedly on his deathbed, can slowly get back on his feet after eating them.

Before long, everyone in the capital is cheering on the Princess of Jing.

And so Prince Jing watches as the sweet, well-behaved Princess of Jing he knew in his past life turns the entire capital upside down, going everywhere and stirring up trouble.

He takes a deep breath and suddenly realizes that if he keeps pretending to be a "sickly invalid," someone will steal away the princess he has loved for two lifetimes.
