Transmigrated as the Female Villain General

Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Died of Anger in the Hospital

Xie Lanzhi lost both her parents at a young age and suffered from congenital heart disease. She survived for twenty-five years on the meager inheritance left by her parents, which was incredibly fortunate for someone like her with no ties to the family. This mundane life, as tasteless as plain water, made her almost uninterested in anything and afraid to get excited, living cautiously all the time.

Finally, one day, when she was tired of her life, her best friend, fearing that she would lose hope, enthusiastically recommended her favorite book to her.

This book became both a pleasant surprise in her life and an unexpected reason for her hospitalization. But she has no regrets. Because of this book, she felt a flicker of vitality within her, a proof that she was still alive.

Late on a weekend night, under the light in a private hospital room, the doctor, as usual, was making his rounds and instructing Xie Lanzhi, who was lying on the bed, "Ms. Xie, your condition has stabilized, and you can be discharged tomorrow."

Xie Lanzhi nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, doctor."

The doctor said, "You're welcome. But as I always say, please don't get too emotional. Otherwise, it will affect your recovery."

"Okay, thank you, doctor. Just a reminder," Xie Lanzhi said.

Seeing that she was obedient, the doctor left satisfied.

As the door closed, the footsteps outside faded into the distance until they disappeared. Xie Lanzhi listened intently to the sounds outside, and once she was sure no one was around, she quietly took a book from under the covers and, unable to contain her excitement, began to read under the lamp.

This book, titled "The History of Empress Jin," tells the story of how a princess from a fallen kingdom rose to become empress during a time of war and chaos!

Xie Lanzhi went there because of its passionate synopsis.

She originally thought it would be a light and refreshing novel, but to her surprise, the first fifty chapters were all about the empress's tragic life, with almost her entire family dying, which tormented her to the point of death. The last fifty chapters were about the empress finally starting her counterattack, but the author of the novel was really inhuman, directly making the empress someone's concubine and almost suffering a disfiguring injury.

She was finally rescued by a chivalrous person, but her fiancé sold her off cheaply to the most ruthless person in the chaotic world in order to get rice, resulting in the destruction of both her knees and the near severing of her Achilles tendons.

This plot point directly angered Xie Lanzhi, leading to her hospitalization, and this particular storyline was the very accident that caused her hospitalization.

Today, she heard from her best friend that the author had given an advance notice, saying that the empress would meet a good man in the second half of the story and that she was about to make a comeback.

After buying the new book, she kept it in her hospital room, waiting to read it.

But tonight the doctor informed her that she could be discharged tomorrow. Xie Lanzhi couldn't wait and immediately brought out the sequel.

She excitedly turned the first page, her heart filled with joy at first glance, then her expression froze at the second, and by the third glance, before she had even turned the page, she saw the author's note at the end: "Due to the votes of many netizens, I have decided to conclude the Empress's storyline to show how, in a chaotic world, a princess of a fallen kingdom becomes a four-legged sheep. Undoubtedly, she is a tragic emperor. She has endured all the suffering in the world."

Unfortunately, due to the Empress's immense popularity, a happy ending might easily make you forget her. Therefore, this author prefers to portray the Empress as having a tragic exit. Thank you for watching!

Upon seeing these words, Xie Lanzhi's pupils constricted sharply, her chest heaved violently, she struggled to breathe, and her vision blurred rapidly in an instant.

Everything went completely dark.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Lanzhi heard the nurse's anxious, crying voice: "Doctor, doctor, Miss Xie, she!"

She thought she'd been rescued, whether it was luck or not, but she was determined to give the author a bad review when she woke up. No, she was going to send him razor blades!

Xie Lanzhi waited for her to wake up, but as she waited, she realized something was wrong. She felt warm all over, and someone was wiping her sweat from time to time. Although the movements were gentle, she heard a jumble of voices: "Marshal, Marshal, is she still not awake?!"

"Medical officer, what are you good for? You said it was just a cold, how come you suddenly have a fever!?"

"The Marshal cannot die! If she dies, none of us will escape unscathed!!"

"Heal the marshal quickly, or I'll make you pay with your life."

The imperial physician's voice trembled as he said, "General, please calm down."

Hearing the word "death" for the first time, Xie Lanzhi found it somewhat jarring, and felt a surge of irritation and a desire to explode. She was puzzled; her emotions were usually quite calm, so why did she suddenly feel like exploding? Moreover, her body seemed to be having a strong survival response to the word "death." This was a kind of vitality she had never experienced before.

Just then, a man's voice came from beside him: "To be on the safe side, if Marshal Xie really can't be saved, we might as well..."

Not as good as? Not as good as what? This doesn't sound like a good thing.

Xie Lanzhi became even more irritated by this person's voice, and a tightness in her chest caught in her throat, just as she felt a release.

She only intended to speak softly, but unexpectedly, once she opened her throat, her emotions spiraled out of control, revealing an unprecedented ferocity. She snapped, "Who can't be saved! Who said that?!"

Upon hearing these words, Xie Lanzhi felt much better.

The moment she opened her eyes, she sprang up from the bed with great energy. The ancient carved wooden bed, the snow-white canopy, and the people in the room were a mixture of shock and surprise.

However, these people were all dressed in ancient costumes, colorful everyday clothes. There was a group of men dressed as eunuchs with tall hats and white flowers behind their ears, and a group of women dressed as maids with two braids behind their ears, looking at her tremblingly.

The seven or eight generals dressed in white armor and red shirt uniforms, upon seeing her awake, burst into tears and knelt on the ground as if they had found their pillar of support, wailing, "Marshal, you, you have finally woken up!"

We thought you were going to leave us behind.

"Please don't let anything happen to you. Our Xie family army is strong and well-equipped, and it is at its peak. It all depends on you to support it. If you and the old general pass away first..."

How are we supposed to survive?!

Xie Lanzhi became even more irritated by the mournful expressions of these people.

She couldn't tell if what she was seeing was a dream or reality; why did these people seem like ancient people?

Xie Lanzhi pinched her face lightly, but the force was stronger than she expected, making her wince.

"It hurts!" she cried out.

"Marshal, is there anything else that's bothering you?"

People around her immediately began to swarm around her with concern, which made Xie Lanzhi a little flustered.

Only then did she realize that her hands had a thick layer of calluses, unlike her usual delicate, pampered hands. And the pain she had just felt seemed real.

Thinking of this, Xie Lanzhi suddenly had a strange premonition. She said to the maid with two braids, "Bring me a mirror!"

The maid quickly fetched a mirror and held it in front of her. Xie Lanzhi grabbed the mirror and looked at her face. She found that the face was not entirely hers, but it looked about 60% like hers. The other 40% was probably due to her temperament.

The face in the mirror had a pale bronze complexion, sharp features, and a hint of menace. If it weren't for the pinkish lips and high nose bridge, which gave her a slightly feminine air, she would hardly recognize herself as a woman.

However, they call themselves marshals?

So she's a military general? If she is, Xie Lanzhi secretly glanced at the other military generals, each one of them tanned like charcoal, even a bit ugly, only their simple spirit was comparable to that of farmers.

Her face, which suddenly appears both heroic and delicate, is actually quite well-maintained.

Xie Lanzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's alright."

The officers around her said with concern, "Marshal, your face has always been the most handsome among our generals, so don't worry."

"Get well soon, everyone outside is practically throwing themselves at you."

"Exactly! The Marshal is even more handsome than the king of the Seven Jin Kingdoms! He's more like a real man!"

Xie Lanzhi became increasingly uneasy as she listened. She realized this didn't seem like a dream, nor did it resemble a movie. Her best friend didn't have the financial means to hire so many people to prank her, so she decided to verify the truth of the matter.

She threw off the covers and got out of bed to go out and take a look. The generals made way for her, and someone even draped a cloak over her, warming her up and making her feel the reality of this world even more.

The moment Xie Lanzhi stepped out of the room, the blinding ultraviolet rays made her unable to open her eyes. The inner courtyard was filled with classically decorated roofs. As she walked out, she entered another courtyard, and then yet another. However, in this courtyard, there were many people dressed in silk, wearing crowns, and with swords at their waists, who looked like nobles. They all saw her coming out.

They all knelt down before her in awe: "Greetings, Grand Marshal!"

"Grand Marshal, I heard you are ill. This is a thousand-year-old ginseng from your humble servant Weidu. Please accept it."

"Grand Marshal..."

Xie Lanzhi has now confirmed that she has arrived in a strange world, an ancient fictional world that she may not even recognize.

She felt she needed to calm down, so she went back into the room. She dismissed everyone and summoned a seemingly timid maidservant alone, asking, "I—no, I'll test you—do you know my full name?"

What year is it tonight?

Upon hearing this, the maidservant was so frightened that she knelt on the ground. Was the Grand Marshal going to find another excuse to punish someone today? She was immediately terrified and said, "How dare this servant call you by your name? You are the master, and I am the servant..."

"Stop talking nonsense and give me an answer." Xie Lanzhi pretended to be very angry, but the voice of this body was originally full of energy, and when she pretended, both her voice and emotions were exceptionally well-developed.

The maid then said in a low, barely audible voice, "You, you are the Grand Marshal of the Xie Clan, your name is Xie Ying, and your courtesy name is Lanzhi."

"This year, the reign title is a bit confusing. Some say it's the Jincheng year, some say it's the Ximo Xicheng year, while in the southern region, the reign title is Xie Shi Fifth Year."

"That is your fifth year as Grand Marshal."

These words were spoken.

Xie Lanzhi finally realized where she was: Jincheng, Ximo, Xicheng, Nanyu. The Xie Clan. Wasn't this the world from "The History of Empress Jin"?

She... she actually transmigrated into a book!

Wait, the maid said her name was Xie Ying, courtesy name Lanzhi. Although they had the same name, the name Xie Ying made Xie Lanzhi grab the mirror on the bed and look at herself inside and out. Although her eyes were much softer, the violent feeling between her eyebrows and eyes lingered for a long time.

When Xie Lanzhi realized who she had transmigrated into, she dropped the mirror she was holding. Her mind was in turmoil: "I've actually become Xie Ying, the most brutal villain in the late Western City!"

A note from the author:

I've started a new article.

There is a draft available, so please feel free to consume it.

Hehe~

Chapter 2 She wielded military power and became influential.

At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the state first split into three, then into nine Jin states. In just twenty years, these nine Jin states had almost completely fragmented the political power north of the Central Plains. The Western Emperor of Jin was also a figurehead, and last year he was captured and enslaved by Huang Mang, who captured Tianjing and became Huang Mang's groom.

Huang Mang humiliated the Emperor of Xicheng day and night.

This Emperor of the Western City was the Empress's father. He endured humiliation for three months as a stable boy in order to prepare for his future plan to restore the country. However, one day when he went out to cut grass for the horses, he stumbled upon Huang Mang having an affair with his favorite concubine. In a fit of rage, he grabbed a sickle and stormed into the room, only to be killed on the spot by Huang Mang.

Huang Mang knew he had made a mistake. Even though the Emperor of Xicheng was just a minor emperor in one of the nine divisions of the regime, he was still the legitimate son of the Jin state. Killing him would be tantamount to challenging the other eight divisions of the Jin regime.

This might cause the Eight Jin states to unite and attack him. So, in order to cover up his crimes, Huang Mang shifted the blame to the concubine of the Emperor of Xicheng. Then, to atone for his sins, he sent the Emperor of Xicheng's legitimate daughter and son to the Musk Temple for protection, which could be considered as giving the Empress some peace and quiet for the time being.

But this period of peace and quiet didn't last long.

The Southern Region has a population of 30 million, while Xie's army numbers 500,000. Almost every family has a son who serves in the army. And this only represents Xie Ying's visible power.

In fact, Xie Ying has quite a few trump cards up her sleeve to intimidate neighboring countries.

Before Xie Ying even declared herself king in the Southern Region, the surrounding scattered regimes had already formed alliances with her Xie clan and established themselves as vassal states. It could be said that she already possessed the power and influence to be an emperor, even without formally declaring herself king.

Since Xie Lanzhi learned that she had transmigrated into the body of the most ruthless marshal in the West City, she had been looking in the mirror for three days straight, and couldn't help but curse at her reflection.

"Although she's fairly good-looking, why are her actions so brutal?"

"It's you, you are the person the author portrayed as hurting the Empress the most."

"What did I do wrong to become you?"

Because of her bad mood, she ate irregularly, and her generals waited patiently for Marshal Xie to recover, but her mood only worsened.

And she has been staying indoors for three whole days. Every time she finishes eating, she looks in the mirror, and then she sits there cursing.

The generals were thrown into a frenzy in the outer courtyard, and a meeting was held on the topic of how to appease Marshal Xie, who was in a bad mood.
