[Ruthless illegitimate daughter] VS [Scheming prince]
Sixteen years ago, her mother's enemy tricked her away, and she learned how to kill and save lives.
Sixteen years later, that madman uses an antidote to force the marquis's household to once again choose “sacrificing the daughter to save the son.”
Now she returns under the name of her deceased twin sister...
Those who bullied “Ye Wushuang” will pay tenfold.
Those who schemed against Ye Xiaoyuan will answer for it a hundredfold!
...Until she meets a man even better than she is at keeping up appearances.
