As for the villain, Wan Ge didn't want to look for him at all; it was best if he didn't show up and didn't know about this. If he did find out, he'd be furious.
Wan Ge had even considered that she would temporarily refrain from taking on the villainous role in this world, help the male lead overcome his love tribulation, and then leave this world, or perhaps find another body.
Even though she had no feelings for the male lead, she still felt sorry for the villain, despite being in the same body.
…
After accepting the mission, Wan Ge, who was originally a fairy, became the little princess of the Mirror Kingdom.
Jing Zhong, who undergoes tribulations in the mortal realm, is a young general who fights valiantly on the battlefield.
The time when Wan Ge became a princess was the time when Jing Zhong returned to the capital from the border to report on his duties.
Wan Ge wanted to make the other person like her, and first impressions were especially important. Her attire wasn't extravagant, but it was by no means perfunctory. Her makeup was meticulously prepared. Already a beauty that surpassed all others in the capital, she was even more breathtakingly beautiful after dressing up.
The male lead is not a villain, unlike villains who fall in love with her at first sight.
Jing Zhong's first impression of her was one of utter indifference. There was not a trace of amazement in his eyes; in fact, she didn't even impress him as much as the sword in her brother's hand.
Wan Ge knew that the Jingzhong Emperor in the Nine Heavens was a cold and indifferent immortal lord who was devoid of any emotion.
Logically, if one were to be reincarnated as a mortal, that body would inevitably develop feelings and emotions. Yet, the other person remained calm and unmoved.
The other party was even colder than Wan Ge had imagined, but at least he saw that the weapon was fluctuating. Perhaps she could cater to his preferences and make Jing Zhong fall in love with her soon.
…
"Why is the young princess staring at me?" Wan Ge originally thought that she and Jing Zhong would not have any interaction throughout the banquet.
But unexpectedly, on his way home after the show, before getting into the carriage, he encountered Jingzhong again.
To her surprise, Jingzhong would actually take the initiative to talk to her.
Wan Ge's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked at him with a hint of shyness, just like any other young lady who would be shy when she met her sweetheart: "I... I just think the young general is very handsome."
"Your Highness is too kind," Jingzhong replied, his tone remaining completely calm.
But at this moment, the system whispered in Wan Ge's ear: [Male lead's affection level -5, current affection level is 5.]
"..." Wan Ge felt numb, but she seemed to know why Jing Zhong's favorability rating had decreased.
So Wan Ge immediately spoke up again: "No, no, no, I'm just telling the truth. I just think that the young general is so amazing, and he also has such a handsome appearance. His abilities are just as outstanding as his looks. I really admire him so much."
Jingzhong spoke again: "If the princess doesn't even know me, how would she know my abilities?"
Wan Ge replied softly, "I heard that the young general started as a lowly soldier and rose to the rank of general through his own efforts. How could someone like that be incompetent?"
[Jing Zhong's favorability +3, currently at 8.]
"It seems the princess has done some research on me." This should have been a joke, but Jing Zhong said it without any emotion, making it unclear whether it was a joke, a sarcasm, or a calm statement of fact.
Wan Ge answered him with a blush.
Jingzhong gave a light snort: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint the princess."
Wan Ge spoke slowly again: "The autumn hunt will be here soon, and then we will be able to see the young general's demeanor."
"Then it seems I need to work harder, so as not to disappoint the princess."
