Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess

Bai Yu lifted her foot from the hem of Bai Hua’s skirt. “You’re wondering why I resent you so much for something that happened in the long past.”

Bai Hua did not answer, though her eyes conveyed the same thought as what Bai Yu had said.

“I used to be stupid. I killed myself because my lover was stolen by someone.” Bai Yu crouched down next to the person who was still on the ground. Her calm gaze carried hatred so intense that Bai Hua started to move back despite having just daringly met her eyes.

Bai Yu reached out to grab the woman’s chin again. “Coincidentally, that woman looks just like this!”

Bai Hua’s eyes widened in disbelief. She tried to move, pulling her face away from Bai Yu’s grip, but her strength was not enough.

“It’s not just one life that you’ve ruined my love. That bitch Song Lianhua who stole Li Wenrou is the same person as this Bai Hua, and also reincarnated as Padma!”

Slap!

“That’s not true!”

.....

Her wrist was swatted away with a sharp noise. Bai Hua’s face was immediately freed. Bai Yu looked at the red print on her wrist before turning to look at the person who had caused it. She had to consciously suppress the boiling emotions within.

“This kind of thing…” Bai Hua shook her head. Her beautifully gathered hair started to unravel. “…It’s not possible…It’s not…”

“I’ve wasted my breath speaking for this long and you still won’t believe it?” Bai Yu understood. Originally, Bai Hua was a doctor who believed in facts that could be proven by science. Instantly believing in things such as reincarnation would be difficult. Still, it was not too difficult for Bai Yu.

Slap! Bai Hua’s face was turned by the force of the blow. A handprint appeared on her tear-stained face. Shock reflected clearly in her eyes.

“You…”

“Does it hurt?” Without waiting for the other person to speak, Bai Yu sneered and asked with a sugary voice. She wiped the hand she had used to slap on her phoenix robe, all in a natural manner.

“If it hurts, then that means how you cross through lives and worlds here is not a dream…” She stood up to her full height. Her phoenix eyes glanced at the person below. “…You have already transmigrated here. Are you going to refuse that reincarnation isn’t possible?”

“You…” Bai Hua was both surprised and stunned by Bai Yu’s words and actions. She could say nothing as she stared at the menacing back of the woman whose fate had intertwined with hers for many lives.

“In truth, there is no need for me to be this violent with you.” Bai Yu gracefully sat down on her phoenix throne, not acknowledging what she had done. The language had changed, as had her intimidation moments ago. What was left were a sweet smile and a gentle gaze for her half-sister.

“This is what I wanted to do the most when I saw your face…” Song Lianhua’s face. “Unfortunately, I died first.”

In truth, Yoknapha wanted to slap Song Lianhua once.

She had to thank Bai Hua for making her dream come true.

“The empress is unexpectedly cruel.”

“And Princess Jiaoxin is unexpectedly rude.”

“I have manners for those worthy of them.”

“But bengong can be merciless to any arrogant woman.”

“Hmph!” Chu Jiaoxin stopped arguing with the woman on the phoenix throne. She had seen that other than her high level of magic and proficiency in martial arts, Bai Yu was adept at deception. Under her beautiful fa?ade hid wickedness perfectly out of sight. What a disgusting woman!

“When Princess has arrived at the palace, it is advised that a royal maid be sent to announce it so that bengong shall properly welcome Princess, as that is the manner bengong was taught.” Mannerless. Lacking in education and discipline. These were the implications she had for Chu Jiaoxin.

Bai Yu guessed that this first princess must have arrived while she and Bai Hua were speaking. Though she had not concealed her magic aura, Bai Yu was too preoccupied with Bai Hua and too overcome with emotions to notice. Fortunately, Bai Yu did not use the Da Yang language in the conversation. Still, Chu Jiaoxin must have known that she had slapped Bai Hua because magic enabled its user to observe their surroundings.

As soon as Bai Hua left, Chu Jiaoxin stepped into the palace. Bai Yu’s troubled emotions had yet to calm down when she had to smooth her expression for the encounter with the haughty first princess.

Was this a national women’s assembly day or something?!

“Your Majesty was receiving an ‘important’ guest. I do not dare to interrupt.” The mocking tone in Bai Yu’s words could not dampen Chu Jiaoxin’s arrogance.

“Mm.” Bai Yu nodded. “She is quite important to bengong. From here, she will be in your care, as sisters of the same palace.”

Bai Yu did not care what Chu Jiaoxin would do to Bai Hua after marrying into Qin Wang’s palace. Even if this princess could see a special, complicated relationship between them, she still was not the kind of person who had the mentality of ‘This person is mine; only I can bully her.’

She had bullied Bai Hua enough. Chu Jiaoxin could do whatever she wished. Bai Yu was not so concerned with her image to the point of making herself dance on others’ palms.

After Bai Hua married Ouyang Mingxian as his second consort, if this princess treated Bai Hua well, then it would imply that she also treated Bai Yu well. However, if it was the opposite, then it would mean Chu Jiaoxin did not respect Bai Yu, who was empress. To Bai Yu, this was merely a play between women that never interested her.

“You’re disgusting.”

“Thanks.” Bai Yu replied with a smile.

“I never understand what my brother sees in a disgusting woman like you.” Chu Jiaoxin was fed up with wearing a mask. She was greatly dissatisfied with this marriage. She thought that Bai Yu wanted to beat her by making her marry Qin Wang and sending her younger sister to be her opponent.

But Chu Jiaoxin was wrong.

Bai Yu did everything out of hate, not with any complicated plans behind it.

“At least a disgusting woman like me was once Da Chu’s empress-to-be.” Recalling Chu Zhaoran, she amusedly brought up the topic. Even now, the throne for Da Chu’s empress was still empty. The new emperor had secretly sent her a magic letter, declaring that the phoenix throne was reserved for only a woman of the Bai family.

“You’re a sly vixen.” Chu Jiaoxin could not refuse Bai Yu’s words. She could only ball her hand into a fist even though she wanted nothing more than to stab her sword at this woman. But this was the royal palace where she could not touch Bai Yu, not even with her fingertips.

“Princess…” Bai Yu sighed, then put on a smile. “…Currently, you’re here as Da Chu’s royalty, and you’re allowed to speak as you please. However, as soon as you marry into the Da Yang dynasty… You must call bengong ‘Aunt.’”

“Don’t think you can always win.” Chu Jiaoxin understood well what Bai Yu meant. No matter how high her status used to be, she had to bow to Bai Yu after her marriage. But how could someone like Chu Jiaoxin give in so easily?

“You should spend your time taking care of your husband. Bengong fears that Princess might have to spend your wedding night alone.” Bai Yu intentionally teased, and it seemed the princess, who had little patience, was swayed by what she said.

“Hmph! How can Your Majesty’s fragile sister put up a fight against me?”

“She’s only fragile when in front of bengong.” Bai Yu suppressed an urge to laugh. The clouds in her heart were slowly dissipating.

“Then Your Majesty can look forward to a grandchild!” Chu Jiaoxin turned around; her dress fluttered behind her. Bai Yu sighed, then raised her hand to lightly massage her temples.

Just go. Go your way.

——————

“Is Your Majesty tired?”

“I have to ask you that instead.” Bai Yu raised her brow at her husband.

“Didn’t you have guests coming all day?” Ouyang Feilong took her hands and led her inside the palace. He had sent a eunuch to announce his visit here, and Bai Yu came out to wait for him again, despite already being told not to.

Today, she wanted to speak to Ouyang Feilong about contraceptive medicine. Luckily, he delivered himself to her on her doorstep. Still, she chose to ask him this instead when she saw his fatigued face.

“Very!” Knowing that they were alone, Bai Yu felt no need to fake a smile. The corner of her mouth curved down as she flopped down onto the edge of the bed next to Ouyang Feilong.

“My Xiao Yu is competent, is she not?” Ouyang Feilong amusedly watched her natural, genuine manner. His large hand pulled out the jade hairpin, letting her dark hair fall as he preferred. He was fortunate to have her next to him today.

“No matter how competent I am, I still need someone to cheer me up.”

Hearing her words, Ouyang Feilong turned silent. His golden eyes carefully studied the woman in front of him.

Bai Yu suppressed a smile, both tickled by Ouyang Feilong’s reaction and embarrassed by what she had said. She did not know where she had gained the courage to utter such spoiled words so calmly when this man was not her brother, who was her usual target.

“Um… I think the weather tonight is…”

Ouyang Feilong moved his face closer to the person who was trying to change the subject. His warm lips pressed onto her soft ones before quickly leaving.

“Is this enough to cheer you up?” Ouyang Feilong beamed. Bai Yu was asking for him to spoil her. This was the first time that she approached him first!

“I think it’s not enough.” Without waiting for an answer from her, Ouyang Feilong moved toward Bai Yu with a smile, catching her off guard and making her instinctively retreat back, resulting in her lying down on the mattress. Ouyang Feilong put his hands on the bed, caging her under his own body. Hot lips came to cheer the other person up once again but were blocked by her hands.

“That’s enough, Your Majesty.” Bai Yu regretted acting spoiled with him. It was as if any discussion she wanted was thrown out as soon as she met his gleaming gaze.

“But I’m not cheered up yet.”

“Your Majesty already is.”

“No, that kiss was to cheer you up.”

“It’s the same thing.”

“It’s not.”

“It is.”

“It’s not.”

“Then how is it different?”

Ouyang Feilong did not elaborate on the difference with words, but with an action that Bai Yu could not resist. They both knew that only the other person could fulfill the void and emptiness in their tired hearts.

A soft kiss to cheer him up turned into a sweet and passionate kiss driven by their emotions. The sound of argument was turned into moans from Bai Yu, who willingly let her husband take the ‘moral support’ as much as he wished.

“…Mmm…W…Wait…”

The little strength she had left was used when Ouyang Feilong gave her a moment to breathe after satisfying himself once. Bai Yu tried to recall her alertness back in order to talk about the matter she had intended to, all while still panting after being drained.

“Your Majesty…”

Ouyang Feilong allowed her only a brief rest, not long enough for her breaths to return to normal, before capturing her mouth again. His hands wandered over her body, exploring with the hot palms that did not seem to easily stop.

“Ah… I’m exhausted today…” He whispered hoarsely into his wife’s ear as his body moved rhythmically. “…I need more encouragement.” A low moan sounded at the same time as the sweet voice from the person beneath. And at that, Ouyang Feilong quickened his pace until Bai Yu completely forgot what she wanted to speak with him in the first place.

There was only one sentence of retort echoing in her head… If you’re exhausted, go to sleep!

.....

What kind of exhausted person continues to do this kind of thing?!
