Spectator

The girl in the mirror was someone Zhou Yiren never met. A foreign kid was looking back at her with the same expression she had on her face; surprised.

The child has shoulder-leveled red hair, as of it was kissed by the sun itself. Together with her red hair, a pair of red eyes stared back at her. Her eyes looked magical as if they were truly a pair of ruby gems. Her skin was as white as fresh snow. The first thing that came into her mind was Ariel; the Little Mermaid except for her eyes.

How could a child be this beautiful? It was unfair. It only gave her more insecurities when she remembered her real face.

Was this really a dream?

She pinched herself hard, "Ouch…"

The sting on her cheek was real. It didn't wake her up but only made her realize that where she was at that moment was not in the dream world.

She has read many transmigration novels in the past… was this something similar?

"Oh my!"

A woman's voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts, making her turn towards the person who entered the room and was now looking at her in shock.

The foreign woman was wearing a maid attire which gave Zhou Yiren an idea of her position. Despite the confusion inside her, she was someone who was used in hiding her emotions that's why she has always appeared calm in front of others.

Another maid entered the room and gasped in disbelief, "Young miss, you're awake!"

How could she even understand what they were saying? The foreigners in front of her were speaking a language that didn't belong in her past world but despite that, she miraculously understood every word they were saying.

The first maid who entered the room hurriedly came over to check on the child's temperature by touching her forehead. "Thank goodness, the fever's gone!"

Now then… how should she extract information from this woman? Should she act like someone who lost her memories just because of a fever? That was going to be too much, right? But Zhou Yiren didn't have an idea of how the original soul acted before she entered the body. At that moment, she was placed in a difficult situation.

"Young miss, are you alright?"

No, she wasn't. How could she be alright when she found herself inside a child's body in a place where she didn't know?

'Can I jump on the balcony and stay dead this time?'

Wait… how did she even die in her world? The last thing she remembered was just falling asleep!

"Quick! Call the doctor! I don't think Miss Scarlett has recovered yet!"

"Y-yes!"

Miss Scarlett?

At the mention of the child's name, memories began flashing in her head all of a sudden with caused a sharp pain in her head, making her groan in agony.

"What's wrong? What's happening?" The maid was in a panic when she the girl in pain. She didn't know what to do. Her face turned pale.

The memories that slipped in Zhou Yiren's head were the memories from the body's original owner but she couldn't organize any of it all because of the sharp pain in her head.

Just when she thought that the pain would never go away, it finally stopped but her sight turned dark and her body lost its strength.

'H-Huh…?'

The maid's face turned pale as she caught the child's body in her arms, "Miss Scarlett? MISS SCARLETT!!"

…

Scarlett Brielle Trancy. This was a name Zhou Yiren was familiar with since she was a character in one of the books she has read.

Of all the characters she could be, why did it have to be the ruthless and bitchy villainess?

A sigh escaped her lips. She woke up in the middle of the night in the same room she woke up to earlier. Except for this time, it was dark. The only light that filled the room came from the moon which entered through the glass door of the balcony.

If she remembered the setting of the story correctly, the place she was in right now was in the kingdom of Clover. A magical kingdom that was blessed by the goddess Atria; the goddess of nature. As for Scarlett's background, her mother died after giving birth to her, making her the only child in the prestigious Trancy family. Her father, Duke Charles Trancy never remarried after his wife died. In fact, he buried himself with work which made him neglect his daughter. Because of his neglect, his daughter grew up to be a malicious woman.

With the memories of the young Scarlett in her mind, she could tell that Charles didn't completely forgot his daughter since she remembered receiving countless of gifts from him. The only problem was… those gifts were never enough to make up for his company.

Zhou Yiren didn't have a choice anymore but to live as the story's villain, Scarlett now. Her ending might end in death so might as well see the story itself uncover before her.

Yes, just like any other story, the villain's ending was death. Even if Scarlett didn't become a villain, Zhou Yiren was sure that she would still die because of how sickly the body was.

Dying from sickness should be fine… If death comes knocking on her earlier, then she would gladly accept it. At least in this world, she didn't have to kill herself. A natural death awaited her.

Now that she was going to take over Scarlett's place. Things would be different. She knew what was going to happen and she decided to become a spectator in this world.
