She Schemed Her Way to Becoming a Diplomat, Then Tamed the Royal Family

Orphaned, struggling to survive in a children’s home, and even falling into the clutches of evil… Ten-year-old Lin Wei had already endured the darkest parts of life. Her heart was ice-cold. She trusted only self-interest and swore to climb to the top over everyone else! After a scheme brought her back to the palace by her aunt, the king’s favorite concubine, she was meant to be a pawn to secure the woman’s favor. But Lin Wei wanted exactly that. She mastered etiquette, navigated the powerful, and used her beauty and intelligence to become the brightest rising star in diplomacy. The family of the boyfriend who once looked down on her? Easy to manipulate at her will. A handsome, guileless prince is utterly infatuated with her? Perfect. The title of princess consort is an ideal stepping stone. A noble, brilliant princess shares a soul-deep bond with her? This fatal attraction makes her surrender, and drives her mad. The king wants to use her to control his children? Ha! Which of them is really the pawn? Amid the whirlpool of desire and power, she coolly plots every move. Until one day, the power of the entire kingdom quietly falls into her and the princess’s hands. Watch a scheming orphan bring the royal family under her thumb and rise to become the true queen behind the throne!
