Transmigrated as the Exiled Villain’s First Wife

Industrial engineering office worker Ye Jia wakes up one morning to find herself transported into a novel called Empress Above, a Mary Sue story disguised as a female-protagonist power fantasy. It is February, and the biting winter wind cuts through the air. Wearing a ragged padded jacket, she lies on a straw mat in a drafty earthen house, only to discover that she has become the country bumpkin wife of the story’s great villain, Zhou Jingchen. Ye Jia: “……” In the household, there is a three-year-old, gap-toothed bean sprout of a child; a pitiful, emaciated widow with a sallow complexion; and a physically frail young villain who has been sent away for reform through labor. The Princess Consort of Jing, holding a bowl of coarse steamed buns, speaks softly: “Jia-niang, don’t worry. We’ll be paid our wages tomorrow.” The little bean sprout pulls out a piece of maltose candy that has been squeezed nearly to pieces and speaks in a tiny voice: “You can have this. Auntie, please don’t be angry anymore.” Ye Jia: “……” ———— The heir of Prince Jing’s Residence, Zhou Jingchen, is exceptionally brilliant—a prodigy among young men, with all the makings of a wise ruler. The reigning emperor personally made an exception and designated him as one of the candidates who might ultimately claim the imperial throne. But when his father was accused of rebellion, the entire family was exiled to the northwest. After three thousand li of exile, the three sons and four daughters of Prince Jing’s household were either dead or crippled. By the time they reached the northwest, only a widowed mother and a young niece remained. To ensure the family line continued, the widowed mother emptied her savings to arrange a wife for him. That wife was Ye Jia, renowned as the village beauty for ten li in every direction. She had attended school and could read and write, but she was the sort who bullied the weak while fearing the strong. Lazy, greedy, vulgar, and shallow, she had little going for her besides a pretty face that could fool people at first glance. If Ye Jia remembers correctly, three days after the Princess Consort of Jing dies, this wicked woman will be driven out of the household by Zhou Jingchen with a divorce letter. On the second day after returning to her parents’ home, her money-hungry father will sell her into a low-class brothel, where she will be beaten to death by a customer in less than a year. Ye Jia: “……” Fine. She’ll just muddle through for now. Lesson One for an industrial engineering office worker: Fix the leaking roof first. In his previous life, Zhou Jingchen slaughtered every one of his enemies and wiped out the Yan imperial clan. His great vengeance was finally complete, yet he was left utterly alone, with no one by his side. At thirty-eight, his life was already at its end. He died of illness upon the imperial dragon bed. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the age of nineteen. His mother was still alive. His niece had not died young. And the village girl he had married in his previous life out of filial duty was now standing at the doorway, gripping a wooden stick and glaring at him menacingly.
