[Household Intrigue] [Two Powerful Leads] [Revenge] [Satisfying Read] [Sweet Romance]
The Xu family had five branches. Xu Suining, the legitimate daughter of the eldest branch, Duke Dingguo's household, was as foolish as a pig. After she was seduced and lost her virtue, she became the laughingstock of society.
Fortunately, the Fourth Prince cherished her and took her as a secondary consort. Later, she became the most favored Imperial Noble Consort in the imperial harem.
But it had all been a scheme by those around her. In the end, her brothers died tragically, her father was imprisoned, and a cup of poisoned wine claimed the life of the once-beloved Imperial Noble Consort.
Reborn, Xu Suining was determined never to repeat the same mistakes.
So she waved her hand and began taking everyone down.
Uncles and aunts are heartless? Send them to prison!
Grandmother is unkind? Then split the family!
Sisters won't get along? Marry them off to scumbags!
And the scumbags? They can die!
Xu Suining devoted herself entirely to revenge and never imagined she'd marry. But one day, the heir of her rival family sauntered over and cornered her against a wall. “If you want to overthrow the imperial court, why not join forces with me?”
Xu Suining eyed him sidelong. “The Xu and Zhu families are political rivals. Who knows what you're really after?”
The young heir Zhu moved three steps closer. “What's the problem? Marry me, and our families will be on the same side.”
P.S. The romance between the male and female leads is a slow burn. They are both mainly focused on their careers, and gradually begin to notice each other, so the male lead may have less page time early on.
