“Wangye means that I and the people from Bai family had to stay at the village to contain the spread?” Bai Yu said coolly. There was no sign of agitation or concern even though her return was postponed due to the disease.

Ouyang Feilong’s indifference right now made her realize that both of their actions before were out of line. His attitude in front of her right now might be his real personality.

“Miss Bai understood correctly.”

Bai Yu was not familiar with the way that Ouyang Feilong called her. Still, in such a serious situation, she could not let the matter of how she was addressed bother her. Moreover, it just occurred to her that the man she bickered with every time they meet not only was a Rui Wang but also held the position of the commander-general of the Da Yang army, reigning over hundreds, thousands of men.

With both status and authority, he could order to cut her head off with just a glance. Knowing that, how could this villainess not behave?

“And who will cure the disease, Your Highness?” Bai Hua asked with a worried look, as expected of her nature as a doctor.

.....

“Benwang has sent a messenger to the capital. More royal doctors will come within a few days.”

“In the meantime, can I be in charge of the villager’s food, Your Highness?” Bai Hua was still concerned about the people’s living conditions.

Ouyang Feilong internally admired her graciousness, though he did not express it outward. He was the grand general who had been through many battles, no matter what he did would turn out to be unconsciously aggressive, always making those who saw cower or beg for their lives, even.

Thus, he often acted indifferent in front of outsiders who were not his soldiers. Partly to make himself more approachable, while another part was because he truly did not care about anything else apart from his mission.

His silver eyes swept from the enthusiastically cooperative Bai Hua to Bai Yu. Her manner was calm, poles apart from the woman who relentlessly argues with him. Suddenly, Ouyang Feilong wondered: Which one was her true self?

“Benwang intended for it to be handled by the army at first, but if you volunteer then benwang will let you take care of the matter.”

“Wangye is most gracious. But I am afraid that the Bai family’s supply might not be enough right now.”

One man and one woman continued to discuss the topic of supplies. It was as if Bai Yu, the abbot, and the head worker were not in the same room. It was the business among virtuous people, after all, no need for an opinion from a villainess like her.

“Benwang hopes this epidemic end as soon as possible...” Silver eyes turned to another person whose dark eyes were cast down, seeming unconcern about what Ouyang Feilong and Bai Hua were talking about. “And benwang hopes to receive full assistance from both the temple and Bai family.”

His emphasis on ‘Bai family’ forced her to meet his gaze. That good and kind Bai Hua you were talking to was also a Bai, why would you target me?

“Wangye please rest assured...” Bai Yu faked a charming smile. “...I will try to help to the best of my ability, Your Highness.”

“Very well.” The man revealed a satisfied smile. Even if it was not genuine, at least that smile was better than the tear-stained face from before.

“Benwang will give you one shichen to prepare. After that, everyone must be ready to depart.” He announced before turning to leave with his men. His quiet, yet steady pace was accompanied by the flutter of his black cape, all adding to the majesty of the commander-general. It was no wonder why the noblewomen were so steadfast in their obsession and respect toward him.

Bai Yu discreetly bared her teeth at his armored back, feeling irritated. You think you’re so cool, huh?!

———————

“Are you close with Rui Wang, miss?”

“We’re not close.”

“But miss, normally, Wangye never talks to any woman.”

“Why?” Bai Yu asked as she watched other maids pack up her belonging. Right now she had taken a bath and changed into a new dark blue dress already. There was nothing else for her to do but wait.

“Miss might not know this, but in the capital, apart from the four renowned beauties, there is also a list of ideal men whom all women in the capital want to marry. Apart from Qin Wang and Wei Wang who don’t have a royal consort yet, there’s also the commander-general or Rui Wang who’s extreeeemely popular...” Xiao Xi said with sparkling eyes.

It seemed this topic about an ideal man was common among commoners, servants, and noblewomen.

“A shame that Wangye isn’t interested in any woman in particular. Also, he’s almost always at the border, so it’s very hard to approach him...” Xiao Xi looked around before continuing in a whisper. “...There’s also rumor that Wangye doesn’t like women too, miss.”

“Same-sex love, then?”

“Not that, miss!” Xiao Xi frantically defended her ideal man. Bai Yu could not help but laugh at her reaction.

“Rui Wang grew up in the army. He once said that women were weak and annoying, so he always distances himself from noble ladies...”

Bai Yu nodded. So the reason why that person was so mean to her was that he did not like that she was a weak woman?

“...There’s only one woman who is close to him. It’s Miss ‘Yue Huiling’, your cousin. She excels in both magic and martial arts. Right now, she serves as lieutenant-general in the same army as Wangye.”

“So he likes sturdy women.” Bai Yu nodded in acknowledgment.

“No, miss!” Xiao Xi still insisted on protecting her Wangye. She both admired and feared him. “Miss Yue Huiling was just a lieutenant-general. Wangye never sees her as anything else, and until now they’ve never done anything inappropriate. Also, the Emperor has always teased his brother by sending a beauty to serve him at the border. Right now, in Wangye palace, there are countless beauties sent by Emperor to decorate the empty rooms!”

“The Emperor’s brother?”

“That’s right, miss. Wangye was Emperor’s brother from the same mother. When Emperor was still a crown prince, Wangye was so very young. Empress Dowager sent him to train in the army at the border, so he had been in battle since young up until the former Emperor granted him position Qin Wang and the title ‘Rui’...” Xiao Xi started whispering again. “...Rumor has it that before the current Emperor took the throne, there were conflicts within the imperial palace. But in the end, the Emperor could successfully ascend the throne because Rui Wang took his troop to suppress the riot.”

“And then?”

“After the Emperor ascended, he appointed his younger brother Rui Wang as Da Yang’s commander-general and gave him complete control over the military. Then, he gave permission for commander-general Yue, who was very old at that time, to retire and came back to stay in the capital as the royal-protector general.”

This meant that her grandfather used to be the commander-general who had power over the four armies, comprised of the North army, East army, South army, and the West army. But after Ouyang Feilong took his position, he then became the royal-protector general and took command over all soldiers within the capital.

“Did you know, miss, that Rui Wang was like Da Yang’s own god of war? People call him ‘Black Dragon of Da Yang\'”

Black Dragon of Da Yang...

Black Dragon of Da Yang...

Now she remembered!

If she tried to recall the name Rui Wang, there was only a faint memory. But if she recalled the general who was like the black dragon of Da Yang...then she knew him!

In the series she starred in, the current Emperor had two Empresses. Empress Wei was the first empress who had died. Ouyang Mingxian was the third son born to Empress Wei, while Ouyang Yongxian who was Taizi was the eldest son, born to Empress Wang, the current Mother of Da Yang.

Near the end of the story, the two princes would fight against each other for the throne. At that time, it was Ouyang Yongxian who organized a coup. She and Bai Hua were captured by Taizi Fei, forcing Ouyang Mingxian to choose between saving the Emperor or the two of them.

In the end, the situation was resolved when the commander-general ‘Black Dragon of Da Yang’ led his troop back from the border after being secretly informed of his nephew’s coup by Bai Hua. The coup was crushed by the general, then Ouyang Mingxian came to help her and Bai Hua.

Still, though they stopped the coup, they could not save the emperor in time. Ouyang Mingxian immediately ascended to the throne with the support of his uncle who was commander-general. After everything settled, Rui Wang returned with his men to station at the border. Bai Yu became the Empress since she was Ouyang Mingxian’s first consort at the time. Bai Hua who was the second consort then received the title Gui Fei, the highest rank of consort that was only second to the Empress.

Soon after, Bai Hua became pregnant, while Bai Yu, despite the respect she received, was never touched by the Emperor at all. After realizing that Ouyang Mingxian only loved Bai Hua alone, she lashed out and made Bai Hua almost miscarry. Since then, Ouyang Mingxian became cold toward her, and eventually, Bai Yu hanged herself in the Empress Palace.

After, Bai Hua was appointed as Empress and gave birth to a son, whom Ouyang Mingxian gave the rank of Taizi. In the finale of the series, both male and female leads were able to be together happily ever after.

Hmph!

“Miss only has eyes for Qin Wang. There’s nothing strange that you wouldn’t know about Rui Wang.”

“That’s right.”

Now that she thought about it, Ouyang Feilong really did exist in her past fate, even if only indirectly related to her life.

She should just grit her teeth and continue to associate herself with him no matter how she felt toward him. If one day she did need his help, he should be reliable like in the series.

There was only one advantage she had after crossing back to her past life like this. It was her memory from the old life. And so, the story of the series was the only way for her to survive her tragic end. Still, that was not enough in this world where martial arts and magic existed.

Before coming here, she was not in a special force unit like in dramas. She was not an assassin like in novels or a genius doctor like Bai Hua. She was merely an actor who only knew how to wear a mask and adapt to the new roles she received, or when she faced an unexpected situation at public events.

But adaptability was not enough for her survival. If she wanted to defeat her fate, a villainess like her had to have the skills and know how to ally herself to powerful people!

And this Ouyang Feilong was one of the people she was going to capture. Heh.
