The Villain (1)

For someone who ruled the apocalyptic era, Athena is no longer new to magic and supernatural phenomena. She was not expecting that the life she was looking forward to used to be a Novel created by a goddess from God's Realm. When Athena slept with her son last night, a book appeared out of nowhere. She searched for its traces, but she found nothing about its origin. Not until she opened the book and read the chapters in it.

The goddess, Destiny, made a wishful spell, which needs her brother's power to come to life. Her brother, Fate, gave her the things she asked for, and because of these gifts, thousands of worlds formed within the multiverse. The clashing and merging of several galaxies destroyed and created new life forms for the goddess' dream to come true. These newly formed worlds revolve around a story plot written by the goddess Destiny. And Athena is a part of this trend, a bug in one of the worlds.

The worlds of perfect love stories finally have a bug, and this is due to Athena's merits in her previous life.

The novel's title is "Prince Charming Fell for His Beautiful Slave," where the galaxy's third prince falls in love with a servant from a poor planet. This servant is a noble daughter who got lost after the war against the zergs and has heaven-defying talents. The story is cliche and sweet, but Athena's concern is not the protagonist's journey but how she became a supporting role.

Her husband, the general, will become the story's villain who will oppose the rebellion of the third prince. He will divorce his wife early, abandon his son, and capture the female lead. His addiction to torturing the female lead will make him develop feelings for her. He will use his power to keep the person, but a true love story will always have no good ending for villains.

The third prince will kill the general's son and humiliate the body of the general's ex-wife.

But why would the prince drag the ex-wife into turbulent waters?

Well, that's because she looks similar to the female lead.

And the third prince hates anyone more beautiful than his servant.

Athena does not care about what will happen to her soon-to-be ex-husband, but she's worried about their son.

"The general can chase or love whoever he wants, but my son must be safe! I need to grow stronger. The stronger I am, the more I can protect my son. And whoever will show up, I can kill them at one hand. I am Athena, no longer the queen but a mother of one. Even if the stars fall, I'll hold the path of the future and write my own will!"

Athena went back to her space and thoroughly researched the interstellar period. She also made money and earned billions of starcoins from selling food and seeds to the Interstellar Research Institute and Culture Preservation. Athena opened a new interstellar bank account and bought properties under her name. And she does not want the alimony from her husband's divorce.

Athena also cleared the original owner's debts and bought a new mansion for their mother and son.

When Athena's nerves finally calmed, she decided to focus on the original owner's career problems.

She went out of her spaceworld.

Athena invited Lian Wu over yesterday so they could discuss specific career matters. Athena searched the house, moved away from the crowd, and continued to stroll throughout alone as the time had not yet come. She is still quite interested in interstellar technology, after all.

She wandered until she reached the library.

The original owner did not enjoy reading despite the villa having a study room. But she brought back a large number of books and placed them on the bookshelves to prevent the empty bookshelves from seeming too unattractive.

People observed Athena as she stayed inside and read a book.

Athena casually grabbed a book, settled on the couch on the second floor, nestled against a pillow, and leisurely read. They are speculating on the type of evil she would possess today. But nothing major happened. Is she prepared to change the person she is?

After sitting on the couch for three or four hours, they expected her to expose her character before turning a few pages, but she hadn't moved. And the book Athena was holding had been turned over halfway.

Early in the morning, IMH Entertainment officials reprimanded Lian Wu.

He went in search of Athena while feeling the suffocation in his chest. As soon as he opened the library door, he noticed Athena reading while lying on the couch beside the floor-to-ceiling window. She was wearing a long, classic white dress. Although the beautiful facial features are bare, and the hair is carelessly dangling, there is a captivating appeal.

People dare not interfere because of how quiet the scene is. He did not dare to speak even if he had just prepared a curse.

"Brother Lian."

Athena turned around and heard footsteps in the library's hallway and peered over with teary eyes.

She glanced at Lian Wu. While holding his breath, Lian Wu unconsciously scanned his eyes around.

He reached out but avoided eye contact with the proud woman and said, "Athena."

When he first met Lady Athena today, he had no idea that she would address him as Brother Lian.

Lian Wu struggles with putting on a nasty face in front of people. Looking into those clouded eyes, Lian Wu felt slightly sorry for saying, "You know what happened."

Lian Wu sighed.

"I won't give up fighting for you, but you also know that the company put pressure on the crew to get the part of your heroine in the first place, and now your family has no money to inject, and the crew needs something to replace it. I can't help it."

In reality, Athena's contribution of funds allowed her to take the heroine and play the lead.

The crew is now dissatisfied with Athena as the heroine because the Arcana family is destitute. Athena should now use this as an opportunity to change her ways, but signing the contract deal was already made. Additionally, it is regarded as a contract violation if the crew or the person repents.
