Fake heiress and real heiress + political intrigue and revenge + ruthless heroine + womanizer won over + high-stakes romance, both sweet and heartbreaking.
She was the true heiress, born into wealth and privilege, but was switched at birth and abandoned among commoners, where she suffered every humiliation. Sixteen years later, she returned to the family estate, where everyone mocked her as a “fake” and sneered that she was “born low.” Shen Liuyin lowered her eyes and smiled. “Since you all say I stole someone else’s place... then I may as well live up to the accusation.” She seemed as delicate as a lotus, yet her roots were steeped in poison. Her smile was gentle, but every strike drew blood. Her legitimate elder sister frames her? Then Shen Liuyin will make her “smile” as she bleeds from every orifice. Her stepmother poisons her? Then she will make her suffer the consequences, in agony and despair! At first, Xie Changheng sees her as nothing but a plaything. “A washed-up heiress like you thinks you can catch my eye?” Later, kneeling in a pool of blood, he willingly takes an arrow for her and falls from a cliff. “Shen Liuyin, if you want this world... I’ll carve a path through blood for you.”
