The Annoyed Reincarnator

It was one winter night, that a dead body woke up, after oozing black thick smoke out of her skin.

As she woke up, she gasped as her mind was assaulted with memories of past to present.

Problem?

They weren't 'her' memories.

This body's identity, is Huang Beiyue, daughter of Princess Royal, Huang Huiwen, titled Princess Long(dragon) for her war feats in the past. She was powerful and domineering, and saved her country twice over. Her status is so high, yet she married a man way beneath her, a mere Army Captain when she could have any man she wanted, but this arrangement was made by her mother.

Thus Huang Beiyue's status was high...but she was soon found a National Joke, only her mother's status kept her afloat. But when she died when she was eight, her status plunged as far as Mariana Trench!

Known to be cowardly, ignorant and an idiot.

Bullied by siblings, mistreated by domineering concubines, and her father is downright cold to her.

In this world, power equals status. Different from what she's known where Blood is everything!

This time, because she said 'something inappropriate' when in fact she was defending herself which offended her father's favorite concubine Concubine Qin, she got whipped and made to kneel a day and a night as punishment in the Ancestral Hall.

Sickly. Malnourished. Got flogged and now made to kneel, basically also freezing to death out here killed the poor girl, and now a new soul called 'Harry James Potter' took over.

'...bloody hell...I'm...a girl now...and again, malnourished. But weirdly enough, ever since that black smoke left me, the illness is also gone. Something's up.' she scowled. This girl, since her mother's death, got mistreated in all ways possible as she left the ancestral hall...and turned invisible. I cannot stay here. I'll have to retrieve what belongs to this identity and get the hell away from here with her maid. We can start anew elsewhere.'

Unknown to her, there's two people hidden in the trees saw her turn invisible. Not even a shadow remained.

'Y-your highness, did you just see that?'

'...I did. This is intriguing.'

'Let's hurry, we'll be discovered soon.' and they left.

Since there's a pair of servants fooling around outside, the princess effortlessly bypassed them.

She is now an existence invisible to anything she wants to be invisible against.

Death's Cloak of Invisibility.

It will hide the wearer or user from what they deem as a threat to their lives. Being an owner alone, regardless of whether used or not, guarantees you 'death free' until end of your natural lifespan as a mortal. And the Potter Lineage were the true owners through their ancestor, passed down from Family Head to Successor without fail, thus the power is passed on as well in this manner.

It can be lent and borrowed, but it will only work like market sale cloaks. Its full power works on the owners by bloodline in magic and spirit ONLY.

Sure the cloak was left behind, but it followed her here as Harry never passed on the power as he never had blood children. Thus he keeps it till he has his own child no matter his identity as no matter his identities, his errr her children after aren't Potters by blood any more. Her old body has the last trace of the Ancestor according to Death, when he entered the Veil. So she was 'forever owner' now...unless she chooses to give up the power.

Thus Harry Potter, now the most disdained princess Huang Beiyue, is now on a mission.

To steal back what was stolen from her, and to help two little girls who suffered a lot.

Her money, account books, ledgers, these were all that remained.

Upon returning 'home' to Flowing Cloud Pavilion, basically an estate's equivalent of a palace's 'cold palace' for the banished. Princess Beiyue used to live in Jaded Water Pavilion with her mother, but it is now occupied by Concubine Xue and her daughter, Second Miss Xiao Yun. Her son Zhonglei lives with his father in his residence, alongside eldest son Xiao Zhongqi. They don't live with their mothers.

In her memory, Concubine Xue never mistreated her nor did Xiao Yun lay a hand on her. Concubine Xue comes to give her medicine every day since she fell ill. Yet never recovered.

What Harry, now Huang Beiyue had known was a lot of bull.

Poor girl fell ill days after her mother died and never recovered?

Scheduled to die at 18 by her condition?

An illness so bad she could hardly eat anything?

On top of that, banished to this filthy shack, which is what you should NOT do to a sick person.

Because she was useless as she cannot do martial arts which is everything in this world, she was deemed trash. The national joke. Father doesn't give a damn about her thus his concubines and their children can freely mistreat her while exploiting her wealth for their own gain.

Beiyue checked the medicine pot the deceased princess drinks from. Upon shielding herself from poisons, the pot glowed ominously. 'Shit, poor kid was poisoned for four years! Medicine my ass!'

Despicable!

They would NOT get to where they are without the poor kid's money! How far can they go, with a mere Army Captain's money, huh?! Sure they have Senior Master but the old guy went into seclusion to cultivate when Huang Beiyue was six years old, after obtaining a Rank 12 Fire Leopard as a Spirit Summon. And being a Summoner is very respected that in the Xiao Family, Xiao Yun was doted on for being a Summoner that not even Concubine Qin can afford to raise her voice at her.

Well, it was after New Year's Day which means annual taxes, and thus, Huang Beiyue has payday from her two fiefs, Qinghe and Miyang Prefectures. However, poor girl never saw that money for three years.

Not this fourth year, wankers!

Upon taking the royal Lam Cards from her no-good father, and account books and ledgers from Concubines Qin and Xue, she's all set and waited for Huang Beiyue's maid Dongling to come home.

Soon, she did. But got whipped too. Poor Dongling was in a rush to come home at the wee hours, most likely when she was allowed to go home. The just-as-malnourished maid has welts even on her face. Dongling was a girl with terracotta-pink hair and amber eyes.

'Dongling?!'

Because this is a world of martial arts, its OK even to beat a girl.

The strong look down on the weak. This mentality angers Beiyue so much.

'I-I'm fine!' Dongling insisted, even if she wasn't.

Dongling was the only maid to stand by Huang Beiyue's side despite all the cruelty going on.

'No you're not...its OK to let go.' Beiyue reassured Dongling who trembled. 'I'll find something alright?' she said as she helped Dongling to her bed.

'What?! But what about your illness?!' Dongling sputtered in protest. 'Let me do it!'

'I'll explain when I'm back.' and to Dongling's surprise, her lady vanished before her eyes.

'Missy?!'

The door opened and shut by unseen force...

'...what happened while I was in Servant's Prison...?' she wondered aloud feebly.

The sun was starting to rise.

Markets began opening.

Thus, security, is LAX. Early morning, people are understandably still groggy. Even in Bu Family's Bazaar. A massive marketplace owned by the powerful Bu Family, the 'noble of nobles' so wealthy and with so many connections their status is so high. Not even the royal family can offend them lest their country suffer massive losses in trading and resources.

Beiyue can steal a Space Ring with magical space the size of an estate. And filled it with goodies she and Dongling needs to survive and thrive.

Cookware. Diningware. Cleaning Equipment and goods. Tea Sets. Food. Medicine to cure Malnourished Girls and certain Cosmetic Pills that will encourage the body to become more feminine as time goes by, by 'pushing out the beauty' your blood can afford you and pills to remove unwanted body hair and fixing skin discoloration. Large Fire and Water Crystals. High quality cotton and silk in various colors as well as thread. A much better sewing kit.

Beiyue then has other problems to face.

She doesn't know Martial Arts.

Thus she stole manuals as well, for Warrior and Enchanter Training for basics, as well as Cultivational Goods for herself and Dongling. She will try to figure out her situation later. For now she needs Dongling to Level Up.

'I'm back.' said Beiyue, taking out a Space Ring and a pill and a potion bottle for Dongling to take. 'Pill for body pain and potion for smearing on those welts.'

'T-thank you princess...b-but you never showed that ability before.' said Dongling as she swallowed the pill. Because she has no cultivation even if she had martial arts training, the effect will take time as only the rich can afford cultivation. Same for the potion. That was fine with her as long as the welts won't ruin her face!

For Harry Potter who hated lies and omitted information, honesty hurts, but best policy.

'Huang Beiyue is long dead, Dongling.'

Dongling looked at her as if she grew another head.

'B-but you're here?!'

'The real Huang Beiyue died in the Ancestral Hall, freezing to death last night.' Beiyue told her grimly. 'Combine that with malnourishment and poison-induced illness, she is now with her mother in heaven...and I ended up reincarnating in a freshly-dead body. I never thought I'd be living in the identity of a hated princess who's a sad child.' she said. 'I will not tell you my name to avoid slipping up in public, but as proof that I am not your lady any more, Huang Beiyue cannot cultivate as no matter what she does, it vanishes from her dantian. Does she look like she can use invisibility?'

And to make her point, Beiyue went invisible again before Dongling's eyes. Then Beiyue reached for the jar of poison and drank it...and black wisps left her face and hands.

Dongling shook in horror.

Beiyue was no different from an ordinary person. Yet this Beiyue can use magic. This was proof of 'this one's claims. She was horrified.

'Missy...no...' she whimpered as she sank on her knees.

'At least she's not suffering any more.' Beiyue reassured Dongling, patting her head. 'Her misery is over, probably with her mother in heaven. Good people see heaven, bad people see hell in death. At least, that's what my religion back in my former life says. I also took back what remains of Princess Royal's belongings. The Royal Lam Cards of Qinghe and Miyang, and the Accounts and Ledger Books. Well, the Xiao Family will be surprised that their ill-gained money is gone~ and we'll secretly enjoy ourselves as payback, what do you say?' she winked at the distraught maid.

'Anyways, breakfast? I stole some steamed buns for us to eat in the marketplace...we're both hungry.' said Beiyue, taking out a space ring, and gave Dongling three meat buns. 'I'll have to make tea.'

'But where's yours?' Dongling asked her.

'I'll eat after I make tea for us. For now eat that quick. Some jerks will be here soon delivering my so-called breakfast.' Beiyue huffed. 'I haven't forgotten Pei Xiang delivering missy stale rice in a filthy bowl and hid a mouse in it!' Dongling's eyes popped out of her sockets.

'What?! That's disgusting! Missy never told me about that!' she cried.

'Beiyue's a sweet kid...you're just as troubled as she was by this family she didn't want to add your troubles with hers.' Beiyue sighed. 'I guess pot meet kettle...I was the same before I died. You're already bullied by the servants of this estate by forcing you to do their jobs as they claim your status is lower than theirs. But in the end, you're still a royal maid, don't forget that.' she said to the older girl. 'Being a Royal Maid gives you higher status than slaves, which the Xiao Maids are. You have citizenship that they don't, you have education and you're employed!'

'But this family broke a ton of rules to enjoy abusive exploitation on a child since Princess Royal's death...'

Dongling sighed. 'Yes...I never did see my salary ever again...after Princess Royal took me in as a maid for missy.' she said softly.

'Your salary a month is very generous for a maid...1 gold coin a month. Not even palace maids and royal handmaidens have that.' Beiyue snorted.

Now, 1000 iron = 1 copper, 100 copper = 1 silver and 10 silver = 1 gold.

Most goods are priced in iron, copper and silver for commoners. Only the rich can spend gold like water.

'I'll pay you in silver as it'll be weird if maids own a gold coin. You'll be suspected of being a thief immediately so this is to be on the safe side.' said Beiyue as she steeped the tea into the teapot. 'That's about 480 silver coins you never got in these four years.' Dongling lit up. 'Be careful in spending it alright?'

'Yes!'

After putting the tea on the table, they heard someone go into the backyard. 'I'll pay you later, it's breakfast time.' Beiyue and Dongling frowned as Pei Xiang came in just now.

'Oi, trash! Breakfast!' she sneered, throwing the bowl of rice on the floor. 'Trash like you should eat it like a dog!'

'You bitch!' Dongling fumed as Beiyue sighed and stood up...before conjuring a knife out of her ring and killed her that Pei Xiang was shocked, her face was frozen in shock as she died. Her deed also shocked Dongling.

'This is normal in this world...huh?' Beiyue let the knife stay in Pei Xiang's dead body to avoid blood flow. 'This world of martial arts is vicious. Had Pei Xiang did this same stunt to other royals, she'd be paddled to death. I'm kinder in comparison actually.' even she herself was shocked that she could casually kill someone, when she can't even cast a Crucio at Bellatrix. Or was it normal for this body's instincts?

Harry Potter didn't even feel nauseous at her first murder nor was she terrified. Was death and murder so normal here that she inherited this mindset from the original Huang Beiyue?

'Well, she's garbage now.' said Dongling coolly while cleaning up the mess she made. 'Missy, what will you do from now on while wearing that body and identity?'

'Well, I want to truly live...I died at fifteen in a civil war of magicians. The people against users of black arts.' said Beiyue with a sad smile to Dongling's horror. This new person lived in an era of civil war?! What a life that must be that she cannot imagine it. 'Like Huang Beiyue, I had a hard life and malnourishment is nothing new to me.'

'Missy...so your invisibility power...'

'Is a trait passed down in my family. Invisibility Against Death.' said Beiyue, looking at her hands. 'Anything that will kill me, I'm protected from it. Poison? Illness? Extreme Temperature? Nothing will work. And when people have killing intent, they will forget that they want to kill me. They can only injure me, nothing fatal.' she explained. 'Its all I have left. Magic I have was gone as my soul followed the rules of this world wherein the power here, is Cultivation Based. I have to cultivate if I want to use magic again but I need to get around my problem first.'

'W-wow...'

'Well, this power is in my family only...but my old body is the last of the bloodline. Thus even if I have children in this body, they won't inherit.' Beiyue explained. 'Anyway, let's get rid of the corpse...what do you usually do as you're usually gone most of the day?'

'Well, laundry and cleaning the urinals.' Dongling sighed gloomily. 'And it stinks so bad I get dizzy by the end of it.'

'Get gossip. I'm pretty sure the family is having a fit that their ill-gained money is long gone...even better, I'm not even a suspect.' Beiyue scoffed. 'Who would suspect the Garbage Princess who can't hurt a fly? Don't worry, after your shift, I got something real nice for you other than your extremely late salary.' she promised. 'Finish your breakfast and tea, your unwanted job will soon start.'

'Ugggghhhh...'
