This is a story about a Lena who has transmigrated to a new body and a parallel like world. Her fate is bounded to be the villainess of the story.

Will she defy her fate or follow it? Will there be love awaiting her in the end? ---------------- Sneak Peek but edited to hide the guy's name for no spoiling. She hiccuped. "It's f**ken ugly!" He stared down her head. Lena raised her arm and put her hand in front of it. "Can I touch?" Without even approving, Lena touched it. First, she poked on it like it was some exotic species, then she gently placed her entire hand on it. He could feel her warm hand on his cold body. It sent a warm tingle throughout his body. "Does it hurt?" Lena asked. "No. Pain is just an emotion in the brain. I might feel it at first, but I already learned how to avoid the pain, hiding it away." Lena stood up, standing in front of him. "Sorry I was rude. You can see mine too." "What? I don't want --" Lena lifted her shirt up a bit but he grabbed her hands to stop and pulled the shirt back down. "I don't need to see it." "But, mine's pretty. You need to see it!" "I really don't want to see it." "Are you calling it ugly too?! No it's pretty, I promise!" —————— The picture is from Pinterest... something I just grabbed for covers.

Chapter 1Her Prince

Shen Qian was just about average in everything. She had a look, height, and beauty. But, her ego was definitely not average... it was scaled way above her head. Even with that though, she still had a heart.

She graduated from a second-rate university with a degree in Graphic Designing. Regardless of being so average, she was the main lead of her own story. Men had crushes on her and they would always gift her items. But, what she really wanted was for a real man who would approach her instead of just admiring her from the distance.

Just a few days ago, one of her senior co-workers finally asked her out on a dinner date.

Shen Qian squealed into a pillow before flopping herself into her soft bed. 'Senior Han finally asked me out and I told him that I would answer him by tomorrow. I don't really know what to say!"

She released her grip from the pillow and sighed. Shen Qian never dated anyone before because she kept waiting for her prince charming. She knew that she was just too stubborn about finding the perfect man, but she was not getting younger anytime soon.

Many of her friends are dating or already married. Here she was, still fanatasizing about her first boyfriend and what requirements that man must meet.

'Senior Han is handsome, cute, and successful. We definitely like the same things.' She stopped her thought process and screamed into her pillow. 'Why am I even second guessing this relationship when my heart is pounding so fast from just thinking about it?'

Shen Qian grabbed her phone from the lamp table. "I am going to just watch some dramas to distract my heart."

-- Four hours later --

'That was a good ending BUT NOOoo... my prince didn't get the girl.' Shen Qian was crying softly and wiping her tears with her blanket.

Shen Qian was watching one of the most popular Chinese historical drama that just ended. She rooted for the Prince to get the main female lead because he was nice and protective of the girl since the beginning. However, in the end, the female lead chose the General over the Prince.

Shen Qian was a stubborn woman, but deep inside, she was just as romantic as any other women. They want a man who will pamper them, buy them gifts, and tell them sweet things every so often.

'Don't worry my prince, I will choose you instead. You deserve someone as strong as me.'

Shen Qian charged her phone and relaxed her heart and mind. 'Senior Han is my prince..' Shen Qian was sure of it. She smiled knowingly what to answer for tomorrow before falling asleep soundlessly.

----------------------------

In a harsh thud, Shen Qian suddenly opened her eyes. She blinked a few times to noticed that she was on the floor. Furthermore, she was not in her room. Shen Qian quickly stood up. She squinted her eyes like she was trying to get a clearer understanding of where she was.

'How did I get here? Who are all these people staring at me?'

"Look at her. She still has the guts to get back after Andy pushed her." A woman's voice sounded out from the crowd.

"She's as stubborn as her ugly heart.. Tsk."

Shen Qian looked at the audience. 'Are these people are talking about me?'

She looked at her hands and noticed that this body wasn't hers. This body was taller, more scrumptious and definitely had bigger woman parts. She stared at her breasts and glanced back down her butt.

"Lena... You're such a strong woman. That simple push won't damage your plastic looks." A woman called out and giggled.

'Lena? Did I just time travel? Transmigrated? Dreaming?'

Just then.. memories of Lena Shen flooded Qian. She tried to process the memories.

'So.. this Lena is a bitch.. who likes a guy name Andy Yang. I was a stubborn but nice girl.. and now I am a b*tch? Huh... at least I am rich.'

Andy called off their engagement a few days ago because he fell in love with a beautiful girl, Eva Wu. Before Eva came into the picture, Andy and Lena did have a sincere relationship. Lena doesn't know if Andy loved her, but she loved him dearly.

Everything Lena did was to get any emotions of approval from Andy. Even if he never treated her badly, he never really loved her the same way she did for him.

She came from a rich family and being pampered had always been something Lena grew up with. So Lena can never allow a nobody to steal Andy from her.

Today, Andy was throwing a birthday party for Eva and Lena came to interrupt the party. Lena pulled a catfight with Eva before Andy pushed her down.

Qian smirked. 'Whether this is a dream or not... right now I am Lena, and I will be sure to play my role.'

"You are right." Lena smiled. (Qian but we will use Lena now since they are the same person)

"I should not waste my beautiful time on Eva." Lena walked toward the table with drinks. She grabbed a glass and walked toward the couple.

Andy protectively moved Eva behind him.

"It is you.. who is evil." Lena raised the glass of wine up, as a gesture like she was gonna pour it. But instead, she brought the glass to her lips and took a sip. Then she swung her left hand and slapped Andy very loudly.

What happens when you read a lot of reborn novels, people sometimes complain how the character, usually the villain/villainess, get "taken over" and become a fake protagonist. They use their modern knowledge and golden fingers to win in life, but retain nothing of their past unassuming selves, writing it all off in a footnote. What I love about this novel is how, Lena, the protagonist of this novel, doesn't become your typical mc. She doesn't suddenly regret the ways of the original nor does she berate her actions. In fact, lingering feelings still affect her in some ways and help build her as a strong, independent character. It was a slow transformation. She comes to terms with both selves and acknowledges both of them. She even pays tribute to the former Lena and justifies herself. Her form of weapon: living well! She also doesn't try to appease and wait upon the true ML and FL of the story like most other reborns do, inadvertently becoming the true hero in the progress. Lena realizes she can only rely on herself and her family as she takes steps to built on her skills and resources. Recognizing she's truly weak and powerless, she has no true golden finger. Here especially is where the previous Lena's relentless and arrogant character helps push her forth, granting her courage in the face of her enemies. As for the ML, Kris seems like your typical villain second lead. He ruthless, domineering, and willful to the extreme! That paired with his not just women but people hating ways, he's your run-of-the-mill cheery boy ML who will come to dote upon the MC exclusively. Personally not a favorite, but I can see why they're so popular, especially when they're so well thought out. There's a certain satisfaction to making them fall ლ(´ڡ`ლ) This novel gives the two a much more equal relationship; they mutually benefit from each other. Kris starts to cure his people phobia and fulfill his long-time wish of hugging his mother, while Lena learns the ins-and-outs of the true business world. Their banter especially give the characters more form instead of the usual male God and Goddess pair. They're much more human and the interactions between the two are pure comedy gold! This isn't a true revenge novel where the MC(s) slay their way to the top. Each character has circumstances unrelated to the MC and the world doesn't revolve around her alone! The author has really good sense and none of the conflicts get dragged onto nth million chapters (I exaggerated a little... but not by much 😂). Although there are some mistakes here and there, they aren't so glaring that it takes away from the novel. An overall fun and light-hearted read! And with consistent updates!!!! Much appreciation and love 💕💕💕 .... Boy, I swear I wasn't planning on writing an essay 😅
