On the Road to Revenge, I Turned the Crown Prince into a Jerk

Ruan Zhengxuan transmigrated into the body of a peasant girl. She thought she was on the path to a farming life, but when the Ruan family fell into upheaval, she found herself on a path of revenge instead.

At the very start of her revenge, Ruan Zhengxuan encountered a young man. Dressed in red, he was uninhibited and flamboyant, impossibly beautiful, and so upright it was laughable.

Most importantly, he seemed to have an extraordinary identity. So the grassroots girl Ruan Zhengxuan promptly took advantage of him, killing her first enemy, then taking liberties with the young man before walking away.

When they met again, Ruan Zhengxuan learned that the young man was none other than Xie Yinxing, the Crown Prince. She curled her red lips and brazenly used him once again, then turned around and planned to enter the palace as a consort, all to kill her greatest enemy.

*

Xie Yinxing had been a beloved child of heaven since childhood. He fell in love at first sight, never imagining that the woman he loved was a ruthless person who killed without blinking and hungered for power.

He should have stayed away, but instead he sank deeper and deeper as she used him, gradually descending into madness.

Later, Xie Yinxing finally couldn't hold back. He slammed the woman against the wall and kissed her forcefully, his thin lips stained with blood, beautiful and cruel. "Ruan Zhengxuan, don't marry my father. You want power, don't you? Fine! I'll give it to you!"

Unexpectedly, she still wouldn't accept it, insisting on entering the palace. If so, why not make her disappear from the world without a sound? A dungeon in the Eastern Palace was waiting for her!!!

[Transmigration with the body intact + forced love/possessive romance + she runs, he pursues]

[Independent, clear-eyed, resilient heroine ☆ scheming, deeply controlling, smiling King of Hell commander]

Xin Zhi had been on one failed modern blind date after another. One moment she was awake, the next she had transmigrated with her body intact into a remote mountain wilderness in ancient times.

By a stroke of misfortune, a low-ranking official and his wife mistook her for their daughter, who had eloped to escape an arranged marriage. To get away from parental orders and avoid being forcibly matched by the authorities, she decided to choose a good man for herself.

She set her sights on Yan Yanluo, a wealthy merchant from the capital. He was gentle as jade and sincere toward her, and they seemed perfectly suited to each other.

She thought she'd finally chosen the right man by trusting her own judgment.

Until the cold badge of the Commander of the Imperial Guards appeared before her.

"You thought you were choosing a good match?" Yan Yanluo tore up their marriage contract and smiled like poison. "I was hunting you all along."

He wasn't a merchant. She was his prey. Their seeming affection for one another had all been a trap he'd carefully laid.

Xin Zhi regretted everything and turned to flee.

But she didn't know that once she had provoked this evil god, there was no escape.

When the first snow fell in the capital, she left behind a letter written in blood: I would rather die than regret it.

[Excerpt: High-stakes scene from the middle and later parts]

In the unlit darkness, dusk pressed down until it was hard to breathe. Dressed in finery and adorned with pearls and jade, the woman abruptly drew her knife with her slender hand. Like a cold blade suddenly pulled from a pile of soft gold, she pressed it to his throat.

A hidden fire of rage surged in Yan Yanluo's eyes. His fingers twitched, instinctively wanting to restrain her, but his gaze swept over the pearls and jade trembling on the verge of falling from her hair, and the slender wrist holding the knife steady by sheer effort. Within the rage burning at its peak, a scorching admiration seeped in all the same.

He had seen countless women, but never one who could combine luxurious softness with a desperate, ruthless resolve in such an alluring way.

He looked down at the knife's tip, then up at her. "You're afraid of me."

It wasn't a question.

Xin Zhi's lips moved. "...I'm not afraid of you."

"Oh? Is that so?" Yan Yanluo reached out and flicked the blade. "Then why are you shaking?"

The woman pressed her lips together and didn't answer. Her eyes were clear and calm, her fingertips trembling, yet her back was straight with stubborn resolve.

Yan Yanluo suddenly smiled. "You're afraid of me, but you still came to see me. I'll begrudgingly forgive you for trespassing in the main room."
