The Villainess’s Vendetta

After transmigrating into the pages of a novel, Yu Xiang finds herself trapped in the body of a Marquis’s younger sister. Her new life is far from enviable: she suffers from a physical disability, carries the stigma of being an ill omen, and harbors a dangerous secret—she is merely an imposter occupying someone else's place. With no power or standing of her own, her only means of survival is to cling to the protection of her influential elder brother. Knowing that her presence is temporary, Yu Xiang resolves to live quietly and unobtrusively. She fully intends to step aside the moment the Marquis’s true biological sister finally returns home, hoping to fade into the background without incident. For years, she waits for that inevitable day, playing her part carefully within the grand estate. However, when the real sister does eventually come back after years of absence, Yu Xiang’s plan to slip away unnoticed falls apart entirely. Instead of allowing her to leave as she anticipated, the Marquis outright forbids her departure, upending everything she thought she knew about her role in this story.
