Evil Woman Online: Fake White Lotuses, Get Out of the Way

[A touch of universal adoration + devastating beauty + a nasty personality she refuses to change + male rivals competing for her + face-slapping and eating their words] In her previous life, Meng Zhao was thoroughly crushed by her half-sister, who shared the same mother. In Shengjing, everyone cursed the eldest Miss Meng, Meng Zhao, calling her vicious, unscrupulous, and deserving of a miserable death. They praised the second Miss Meng, Meng Yao, as compassionate as a bodhisattva, beautiful and kind, and a fairy reborn. Her elder brother despised her for her cruelty and treated only Meng Yao well. When Meng Zhao died, he did not shed a tear, and could not even be bothered to collect her body. Her uncle the emperor sentenced her to exile. Before long, he gave Meng Yao the commandery princess title Meng Zhao had never received in her entire life. Her fiancé, the great general, regarded Meng Yao as the moonlight in his heart. Even the one wish Meng Zhao had before her exile, which he promised to grant, went unfulfilled. After her death, a deity appeared and told Meng Zhao that her miserable life had been the plot of a storybook. Meng Yao was the heroine, her fiancé the great general was the hero, and she was a wicked supporting character who died early. She knew it! She was beautiful, rich, and powerful. How could nobody possibly like her? Reborn into a new life, Meng Zhao still does as she pleases. She has no intention of enduring hardship or making herself miserable. She figures that instead of changing herself, she might as well get rid of other people. During the Minor Heat of Yongning Year Ten, Pei Yi was still working at the Meng estate, and found the ill-natured, spoiled eldest Miss Meng thoroughly tiresome. By the Ghost Festival, he wished he would never have to see her again for the rest of his life. But later, as a grand wedding procession stretched for miles and the emperor lowered his proud head, he held her beside the vermilion palace walls, eyes red, as if embracing the only treasure he had in this life. The time he spent with her was the most humiliating and lowly period of Pei Yi’s life. Yet, alone and cold on his lofty throne, watching her flee in wretched haste, Pei Yi chose to be a foolish emperor.
