Chapter 1 - Prologue

East of the zodiac continent, the capital of Libra country, Venus

- "Hey have you heard, seems like the crown princess is back"

- "You must be joking?"

- "Why?"

- "What crown princess, don't you know that she is disfigured and disabled? I don't know why she still holds the position moreover, she has been gone for five years"

- "For real? I did not know, and I thought she would be another hero like Princess Ivy "

- "What hero? In addition to disfigurement, they say she can't cultivate at all. You can't put her anywhere near Princess Ivy, they are like clouds and mud!"

 Discussions, much like this one, could be heard throughout the city. The return of a 5-year-old missing princess brought lots of controversy. Many were dissatisfied. Some called her shameless, some just wanted to see a show that was about to unfold, and others wanted to wait-and-see before they acted on the new information.

***

 On the roof of a cold and quiet palace stood a girl about 13-14 years old. She was dressed in red clothes and had very unusual long silver hair and emerald green eyes. Her stunning beauty would make one forget to breathe. If people saw her, they would be stunned speechless. After all, not too long ago, they discussed how her face was disfigured and how shameless she was. Yes, this is the crown princess of Libra country Dea.

 As she looked into the darkness of night, it was as if she was remembering something like she was somewhere else and just looking through everything, like no one could be in her eyes.

"Haha," - Dea chuckled. It has been 5 years since she transmigrated into this world. She was the most scandalous female writer of the 21st century. Coincidentally the name was the same Dea, meaning goddess in Latin. 5 years ago, when she transmigrated in this body was the day the princess was driven out of the castle. One must say this body brings lots of mysteries with it. The name of the continent she was living in was "Zodiac".

 It was divided into 12 countries which were named after 12 zodiac signs. She was the crowned princess of Libra with a matriarchal society. 

 Everything on this continent was based on the zodiac and astrology. She even suspected it had something to do with someone just like her from another world.

 There were few professions in this continent: cultivator- which had five categories (fire, water, earth, air, and special type) beast tamers, alchemists, astrologists, armament masters, inventors, and array masters.

 All of these professions are divided into seven colors, and each color is divided into nine steps. Usually, people don't choose more than one profession, they would rather develop higher in one of them.

 Every human is born with one of the attributes be it fire, water, earth, or air. There is also a special class, they have powers like telepathy, mind-reading, and so on, not many have more than one attribute, and three are very rare as for four, none of them are known so far.

 Each country has its unique hierarchy, but one thing is the same, jungle rules apply and strong make the rules.

Libra and Aries countries are matriarchal, while Sagittarius is male-dominant.

 Countries: Scorpio, Leo, Taurus, and Capricorn have a strength-based hierarchy. People of Pisces, Cancer, and Virgo decide it through special rituals and are more religious. They prefer more artistic and inventive ways, and lastly, the people of Aquarius and Gemini decide it through money. People who have money can have anything there and do anything.

 While Dea was remembering the past, she got to the weirdest of them all. The body she was occupying was cursed since birth, and she has to live half a year as a woman while the other half hides that she turns into a man.

 At the thought of this, a meaningful spark flashed in her eyes, and then her voice brought her back from her thoughts.

- "Master"

- "hm.."

- "Everything is ready"

- "then let the fun begin"

 That's right, she came back to get what rightfully belongs to this body, to slap the faces of people who underestimated her, and to get answers. She has been strengthening this body and its powers, and now she is ready. Of course, she can't stop there...
