The Charming Princess Is a Black Lotus. Powerful Men, Beware

(The heroine is a scheming black-hearted beauty, a manipulative woman.) A beautiful, ruthless princess plots to restore her kingdom, ensnaring powerful nobles one by one and stirring up turmoil. Xia Yueshu was once a princess born to wealth and privilege. After the Liangxia Kingdom fell, she watched with her own eyes as her father, who had loved her dearly, was torn apart by horses, while her mother, who had treasured her above all else, was violated by the rebels! She fled for her life in a frenzy and became the lowliest woman in the world. But she didn't want to die. She was born noble and deserved to stand at the pinnacle of power, looking down on the masses. A gentlemanly young lord? Nothing but a stepping stone for her to toy with! A crown prince of supreme status? He'll be just another nameless corpse among the mountain of bodies at her feet! And the ruler of Northern Qi? If it means gaining power, poisoning the sovereign is child's play! What about true love, with one person for a lifetime? You actually believed that? I only saw you as a useful bargaining chip! Xia Yueshu: “You'll pay me back a hundred, a thousand times over for what you owe me!” (The heroine is relatively weak early on, but becomes overpowered later. She is a heartless, truly evil woman, utterly driven by her goals and willing to do anything to achieve them.) 【I love you? That's just an act.】
