"Take her back to the dungeon! She leaves first thing in the morning!" The Emperor ordered the two royal guards behind the kneeling girl.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The royal guards saluted and started dragging her back to the dungeon under the palace.
Even though Evelina's current body is just a fragile 16 year old girl, the guards grabbed her harshly instead of being gentle with her.

While they were on their way towards the exit from the throne room, the nobles that were passed by cheered. Though disappointed that they will not witness an execution, it was a relief that the "evil" girl is kicked out of their glorious empire.

The Duke Winstead and his two sons watched her get dragged impassively. In their eyes, she was never considered a Winstead so they don't care whatever happens to her.

Evelina and the two guards silently went through a few secret passages until they reached the dungeon's corridor. They continue to pull her until they found her cell. One of the royal guards unlocked the cell, then she was pushed none too gently into her newfound prison. Evelina stumbled and almost fell, but placed her hands on the wall for support. The cell was then locked again.

"The bitch got what she deserve! She thinks she can harm a poor innocent girl and get away with it?! I think not!" One of the royal guards standing in front of the cell said. "What do you think Anton?"

The other guard, Anton, didn't reply. He just empressionlessly stares at Evelina's back facing him through the cell.
"Jeez, would it kill ya to talk? Never mind, let's just get out of here." The other guard then walked away.

Anton stayed a bit longer staring at Evelina's back. The two didn't speak, and Evelina still did not turn around to face him. After a moment, Anton finally left the dungeon.

When Anton left, Evelina finally turns around facing the front of the cell, slides down the wall, and sat on the floor cross-legged.

"I can't believe this. I transmigrated into the villainess of the novel I use to read." Evelina said to herself.

In Evelina's former life, she was the first female president of the United States from the years 2082 to 2086. She was named Evelina Loughton. She was born in 2050 from a low income family. Evelina and her family struggled to make ends meet as during her youth, prices and unemployment was high. The economy of the United States was highly unstable due to many bad decisions of the government, along with the stupid actions of many people. The gap between rich and poor was getting wider. Hell, only the rich can go up to outer space! So Evelina works hard to make things better for everyone. She had a vision to turn the United States of America to be a better country that people can live happily. Throughout her education years, Evelina was always ranked number 1 in achievements, and she got a scholarship into one of the best universities with double degrees in political science and economics. She developed her personality to become a highly charismatic person. She took a job in politics and registered herself to be a candidate for presidency in 2081. Her vision for closing the gap of social classes, getting rid of useless general education courses in colleges and universities to boost earlier retirement, more taxes from the rich, and making the country rely less on foreign sources to develop their own resources appealed to the masses. She became the first female president and youngest ever at 32 in 2082. Her presidency would be considered one of the best, maybe even the best out of all in history. At least according to the common people. Many of the rich didn't like paying more taxes. Some of them are fed up with her. They thought it is unfair that poorer people are getting "special treatment". They formed a conspiracy to assassinate her.While making a speech by the presidential podium at The White House for being voted for a second term in 2086, she was critically shot in the chest. Somehow the security couldn't see it coming. Paramedics were immediately called. Some secret service agents tried to stop the bleeding but it was too late, so she died on the spot within minutes from bleeding out so much. All of this was shown on national tv as well as the rest of the world! It was a very shocking sight to the entire world!
At the age of 36, Evelina was also the youngest president assassinated.

" How the hell was someone with a gun allowed in The White House?! There must be some bribe to the security! I can't believe this has happened to me!" Evelina exclaimed to herself.
Evelina is worried about her family in her past life. They must've taken her death very hard, especially her younger brother. Her brother James was 8 years younger than her and is a top ranking police officer. He worked as hard as much as she did. He probably wished he was at the White House to protect her.

Evelina in her past life was also unmarried. She was too busy with her career in politics and becoming president. She never even dated a guy in her life! She deeply regretted this. She was considered a very beautiful woman. Even with some stress lines from being president and early graying of hair, she still looked beautiful to a lot of people.

Now she had just transmigrated into the novel "The Wonders of Love". It was near the ending scene. After the exile of the villainess Evelina Winstead, the heroine Meredith and Crown Prince Maxwell then have a wedding and live happily ever after. It was a book with cliche plot she read during her teens. She got interested in it because the villainess had the same first name as her. It was so cringey, but for some reason she kept reading it. Overall, she hated the novel because basically the heroine is like a homewrecker, and the crown prince is a scumbag. The other male leads are also scum, the emperor is a douche, and the Duke and his sons are all assholes who didn't care about one bit about the original Evelina. Actually, every single person in the Draconian empire are trash! No one in this empire ever treated the villainess right.

So now that she transmigrated, what will Evelina do?

Do I want revenge? Evelina thought.
No I don't. I was a 36 year old woman, why would I want to take revenge on a bunch of dumb teenagers and irrelevant dumbasses. I don't want to waste my life. My exile would mean I'll be free to live however I want.

With that thought, Evelina sat back, relaxed, and eventually fell asleep. Tomorrow morning begins her new life.
