Transported to a parallel world that resembles ancient China, Dana has to live as Da Xia - the maidservant and villain's apprentice in the mysterious, ancient book that she read in the city library. The ancient book described the story of the world where she was transported to, which was Chun Empire. But how can a modern girl like her survive in a world where some people, called 'awakened ones', have qi and where sects and martial arts abound? Not to mention the dizzying customs that combined the various traditions of all the dynasties of the ancient era? She has to find a way to return to her world. The one who can probably help her is the powerful, old hermit residing in North Mountain country as written in the ancient book. To be able to reach North Mountain country, she has to stick with the male lead and join him in his journey to the capital. The only way she can thank him is to ensure his happy ending with his female lead. Strangely, the plot of the story has gone awry. Why does it seem like she's becoming the female lead? ------------------------------------------------------------- THE VILLAIN's APPRENTICE by: huntress Started: January 16, 2021 Completed: July 31, 2021 This is an original story.

To the country she was born to, she is Princess Le-Anne, the king's illegitimate daughter hidden in the shadows. To the empire she is sold to, she is Lady Wei Li Lian, a traitorous spy sent to infiltrate an enemy throne. But who is she really? Gifted with rare beauty and keen intelligence, Li Lian once desired nothing more than a peaceful, ordinary life. She dreamed of traveling distant lands and living freely, far away from politics and power. That fragile dream shattered the moment her estranged royal father finally noticed her existence. To him, she was not a daughter, but a tool. She was given one mission. Enter the enemy empire of Nevoria. Seduce its emperor. Survive the harem. Become empress. And hand the empire to her homeland. From a young age, she trained relentlessly in etiquette, strategy, and deception. She learned how to smile while scheming, how to walk through danger without leaving a trace. She would maneuver through the Nevorian court, evade the vipers of the inner palace, send secret missives in the dead of night, and climb her way to the phoenix throne. It should have been simple. So why did no one warn her? The greatest threat was never the harem, but the emperor himself. Cold, inscrutable, and merciless, he ruled with an iron fist and revealed nothing of his thoughts. Every encounter between them felt like a silent confrontation, where one misstep could lead to quiet destruction. Those eyes of his held no warmth, only sharp calculation, as if he had already seen through every lie she told herself. _____________________________ Cover By Ei_Daisuki
