In the age of kingdoms and steel, she was known as Princess Arinya, the jewel of her empire. Unlike the sheltered daughters of noble blood, she was both poet and warrior, painter and general. Her brush painted peace, but her sword carved legends.
At just eighteen, she commanded thousands on the battlefield, her eyes burning with the will to protect her people. Songs praised her beauty, but ballads worshiped her valor.
Yet even legends bleed. On the eve of a decisive war, betrayal struck from within. Her army fell, and she fought until her last breath—her sword breaking, her armor drenched in crimson. As darkness consumed her, she whispered only one wish:
"If I must live again, let me protect, let me grow stronger… let me learn everything the heavens and earth can offer."
And the heavens answered.
Her soul tore through the veil of time, falling into a new world. A world where technology soared beside cultivation, where flying cars coexisted with spirit beasts, and where knowledge was power sharper than any sword.
In this world, before she even opened her eyes as a newborn, a mechanical voice echoed in her soul:
[Knowledge System Bound]
[Initiating foundational learning… Psychology Lv.1 acquired.]
Thus began her second life—not as a princess of swords and shields, but as a child destined to master all knowledge, from the mundane to the extraordinary.
Chapter 1 – The Genius in the Womb
Inside the warmth of her mother's womb, Princess Arinya—now reborn—found herself wide awake. The rhythmic sound of her mother's heartbeat lulled her, but the cold, metallic voice of the system never ceased.

[Estimated time to proficiency: 2 weeks.]
"Language? In the womb?" she thought with a sigh. In her past life, she swung swords heavier than her own body, and yet now she was learning like an infant—literally.
Days turned into weeks, weeks into months. While other unborn children slept, she memorized psychology theories, basic arithmetic, and human anatomy. Her tiny body was still forming, but her mind… her mind was already racing ahead.
Nine months later, when she finally opened her eyes to the blinding light of the new world, she was no ordinary baby. Her cries were soft, almost melodic, but her eyes—ah, her eyes—glimmered with wisdom far too ancient for a newborn.
Her family doted on her endlessly, calling her cute and lovable, never knowing that behind her innocent giggles was a soul of a princess and a mind guided by an unfathomable system.
As she grew, she supported her brothers in their studies—helping one in cultivation techniques, another in scientific research, and even aiding the youngest in managing their family business. Her brilliance spread like fire, yet she remained humble, sweet, and kindhearted.
Years later, still a child, she would go on to establish her own company, a scientific research center, and a school—laying the foundation of a legacy that would surpass empires.
The world did not yet know.
The fallen princess of the past…
…was about to rise as the genius of a new era.
