I Stole the Reborn Heroine’s Love Interest

Is transmigrating into a book scary? What's truly terrifying is having to compete with a reborn heroine for the villain! No thanks! When Ban Yuyao learns she's become the great villain's doomed “fiancee from hell,” and the first cannon-fodder character he kills, her reaction is: Oh my god, this is exactly what I want. The villain is the most beautiful. Everyone loves the villain. Stratagem is a political intrigue novel about a reborn heroine that has topped the charts for ten years. In her previous life, Zhao Simin was poisoned to death through a conspiracy between her husband and his mistress. Reborn, she turns to her husband's political enemy, Wei Xun, and does everything she can to win his heart. Together, they take on her scumbag husband and their enemies, steadily climbing to the top. Wei Xun is the young master of Yunzhou's most powerful aristocratic clan. His mother died when he was eight, and at thirteen, his stepmother schemed against him, stripping him of his heir status and banishing him to the countryside. The Ban family may be a great clan, but it has fallen on hard times. After going to great lengths to arrange the marriage, they see Wei Xun lose power and quickly break off the engagement. Worse, to curry favor with the new matriarch of the Wei clan and secure more benefits, they order the original Ban Yuyao to sell Wei Xun's sister to a brothel and his younger brother to a male brothel. Five years later, eighteen-year-old Wei Xun massacres the entire Ban family and has Ban Yuyao tortured with three thousand cuts before her bones are flayed. The most miserable pawn in the story, bar none. Luckily, the brutal part of the plot has only just begun. To rewrite her destined death, Ban Yuyao scrambles to save the villain's sister and racks her brains to protect his younger brother. All she wants is to stay alive. But the story takes a completely different turn. Wei Xun grows from a legitimate heir trampled by others into a powerful lord, every step steeped in blood and schemes. Ban Yuyao alone is the “wild card” in his life. He loathes and despises her at first. Who could have guessed that after sharing a bed enough times, she'd find her way into his heart?
