Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

Chapter 472 - 472 | The Villainess

All women are born evil. Some just realize their potential later in life than others.

Me?

I grasped it when I first laid eyes on him.

Born in a super-powerful clan, I had all the riches I could have ever asked for.

I lived a luxurious and calm life.

But I wanted more.

In the whole Middle Heavens, there was no one who wouldn't fall for my beauty, there was no one who wouldn't pause in my presence, and there was no one who didn't envy me.

Except for that one person.

When I was born, it was the most auspicious omen for my clan.

It is said that the whole Imperial City celebrated for twelve days, and the entire Middle Heavens congratulated my father.

In four months, I was able to speak properly.

In the eighth month after I was born, I could walk.

And since the day I turned one year old, I remember every instance of my life.

By the time I turned three, I had understood human nature and used it to manipulate people around me. Not that I needed to, but I enjoyed the feeling of being in control.

I turned five and started to cultivate.

For the first five years of Cultivation, everyone must strengthen their body and adapt it to the qi.

I did that.

By eight, I was able to do this.

I wasn't the most talented, but I had the privilege of being the center of attention.

Beauty and talent. I had both.

In the whole clan, everyone treated me like a princess. 

In the Imperial City, everyone treated me like a young miss.

In my friend circle, I wasn't the meek one.

All my wishes were met. I could have anything I wished for.

When I turned ten, I stepped into the Qi Refining Realm.

Four years passed in a flash, and I was halfway through the Qi Condensation Realm.

But everything began to change when I was about to turn fifteen years of age.

The first instance when I knew my life's trajectory was going in an unpredictable direction was when I came to know that my father had betrothed me to the Great Ye Empire's Crown Prince.

Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun.

I had heard of this name more than anyone else's from my generation.

And I considered him to be my greatest rival.

Not only because of his talent but also because of the friction between our two clans.

I knew from the very start that one day I would have to clash against this Crown Prince.

Just like everyone else in my generation, I had not seen him with my own eyes but already considered him my greatest rival.

But everything changed with a single decision from my father.

I was now going to marry my rival, the most talented person and quite possibly, the future Heavenly Emperor, Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun,

I am very sure that if there were anyone else in my life, she would have been on cloud nine after hearing the news.

But for me?

No.

I was angry and frustrated.

How could I submit to my rival without ever fighting him?

And so it began - I vowed to get control of my fate and defeat my future husband.

I had planned to start working hard. I even made timetables for myself to learn different crafts. Just so that I can defeat my rival and prove that he's unworthy.

Just when I had planned out everything, another incident occurred.

My twin sister.

Oh, yes, I have a twin sister. Did I mention that?

Well, now you know.

We both were born just five minutes apart, and I was the eldest.

For some reason, which I found out pretty late, my father had sent her to the Lower Heavens for her fifteen years.

And that day, she came back.

The most surprising thing was, even though we were called twins, we didn't look alike.

If someone asked me what were my thoughts on her arrival?

The true answer would be that I didn't really care.

I couldn't afford to distract myself.

And I also couldn't make myself treat my twin as her sister.

How could I treat someone like my sister just upon first meeting?

I wanted to observe her first.

I wanted to see if she was worthy.

And I came to a conclusion as soon as I laid my eyes upon her.

She wasn't worthy.

Just with one interaction, I knew her nature - the type who always acts like the most innocent and simple of all in the room.

Such girls always annoyed me, and now my new sister was like them too.

How could I make myself like her?

But before I could make myself hate her, my eyes landed on the person beside her.

At our very first eye contact, I heard my heartbeat pounding in my chest. 

I felt as if time had stopped and only the person behind me existed and mattered in this world. It was as if a high-power electric current passed through me.

For the first time, I felt nervous and shy. It was a weird feeling, but I liked it.

And as if this wasn't enough, my sister was acting cold towards him. This angered me for some unknown reason.

Her favourability dropped even more in my heart.

After a little chat, another shock stumped me - the person that I just fell for was my rival and my future husband, Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun.

And as days passed by, my frustration began to increase slowly.

I had just made an oath to beat him, and now I wanted to spend my whole life with him.

I tried not to think about him, but I ended up asking about him from my sister.

I tried not to meet ever again, but I ended up visiting the Crown Prince's Tavern Hall for the first time in my life.

I met him there. *cough* I swear it was a coincidence, and I didn't orchestrate anything in the meeting.

After that meeting, I was ecstatic once again.

And I knew I was in love with this man.

As for the promise to myself on defeating him and proving him unworthy?

Isn't there a saying which goes - promises are made to be broken?

Well, I was the living proof of it.

I used to visit him.

I used to try everything I could to spend more time with him.

He never said no.

But he never said yes either.

His feelings were always a mystery to me.

But he revealed his thoughts to me sometimes.

One of them was related to my sister - he didn't like her.

Well, now we have at least one thing in common.

I didn't like my sister either. She was slowly taking away all the people from my side to hers.

She was now becoming the center of my friend circle.

People didn't care about me anymore.

I got jealous.

And I hated her.

I did everything I could to create trouble for her and ruin her image.

I was going to make her regret ever coming in my way.

My future husband was also happy because of this. And I couldn't ask for better encouragement.

And thus, I became the villainess.

I ruined everyone and everything for my sister just to see the entertained expression of my future husband.

It was all going well.

I even came to know about my sister's secret lover from Lower Heavens. I didn't leave that brat just like that - I created trouble for him too.

Not because he loved my sister, but for my husband's entertainment.

One thing, though - I never got caught.

In front of everyone, I was the same.

But inside, I was the evilest person they could ever think of.

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and months turned into years.

For three years, I enjoyed being the troublemaker and the cause of my sister's misery.

But this wasn't the only thing that happened.

Quite a lot happened, too, like how I sacrificed my little brother Ling Hao for my Crown Prince's 'entertainment', but the most important was - the start of the Immortal Pavilion's trial.

I didn't have any issue passing the trials and was soon one of the major disciples of Immortal Pavilion.

But then came an incident that changed everything for me.

It was a trial for the Emblem Of Luck.

Everyone knew the prize, and they were ready to go to any lengths to achieve it.

As for me?

I was the same, but there was one thing different.

While everyone wanted the Emblem of Luck for themselves, I wanted it for my Crown Prince.

And helped him reach the final stage.

However, it was at this place my whole world changed.

To get the Emblem Of Luck, the person for whom I was ready to give up everything stabbed a sharp saber right through my heart.

I died.

But was I really dead?

I don't know.

But did I feel betrayed? Was I angry? Did I want revenge?

Yes. Anytime.

And this is where we are now.

I got the chance.

I now have my turn to take revenge.

Because I am reborn back to the time when I was fourteen years of age.

At first, it felt like a dream, but when I asked a maid to punch me, I knew this was real.

It has been three weeks since the day I woke up.

And I have promised myself two things.

First, I won't change myself. I was the villainess then, I will be the villainess now.

But my target will change.

It won't be my little sister Ling Qin'ger who I almost killed a thousand times.

It won't be my young brother Ling Hao who I sacrificed. 

It will be Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun.

The person who used me. The person for whom I was ready to give up everything. The person who betrayed me.

Ye Tian Yun, I, Ling Feng'er, vow to kill you with my own hands.

This time, no promises will be broken.
