After Helping My Legitimate Sister Win His Favor, I Became the Prince's Beloved

Court intrigue and household drama, not a clean romance, alternate setting.

Wei Lan, the second young lady of the Lin’an Marquis’s household, is breathtakingly beautiful, with peerless looks.

In truth, she is no more than a servant whose very identity goes unacknowledged. She has always been cautious and kept her head down, scraping by in silence. Fate once led her into the prince’s manor in the princess consort’s retinue. Was this the best destiny she could hope for?

No. She refuses to accept it. She will climb, one step at a time.

Everyone thinks she has nothing but beauty, and that once her looks fade, so will their affection. But after weathering the ups and downs of fate, she advances step by step toward the highest seat of power.
