Bloodstained Red Candles, Revenge in the Phoenix Palace

Mu Lingyin, the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor, spent years working behind the scenes. With her extraordinary wisdom and tireless effort, she supported her husband, Yan Zhaoran, paving the way for him and helping him rise above the treacherous court until he finally secured the position of Crown Prince. She thought that years of devotion would at last earn them a future together, but reality dealt her the cruelest blow. On the very night she was named Crown Princess, as the red candles flickered and the wedding music still played, Yan Zhaoran appeared before her with Mu Ranshuang, her younger half-sister who had come as part of her dowry. Before Mu Lingyin could react, the knives in their hands plunged into her body at the same time. Through the agony, she saw the undisguised coldness and calculation in their eyes. The two had long been carrying on behind her back, and her existence had been nothing but a stepping stone on their path to power. Mu Lingyin swore to herself that she would win the emperor, Yan Ciyuan, to her side, claim the supreme position of Empress, and take revenge on Crown Prince Yan Zhaoran and Mu Ranshuang for wiping out her entire family!
