The Princess Who Broke the Duel Ring

Wanyi woke with blood on her sleeve, a list of checked names in her hand, and one ugly fact already fixed in her mind. She had been the villain princess in the original fate of this world, the one who broke alliances, used weak people as tools, and helped build the road that killed everyone she cared about. Now she was trapped in a place made to block every trick she knew. The stairs were wrong. The gates were wrong. Even the training paths seemed built to turn her strength against her. She needed a way to live long enough to pay for what she had done, but the people she hurt did not owe her mercy. Her only lead was the list, and only she could see what the checked names had in common.
