Demoted from Wife to Concubine, the Illegitimate Daughter Returns to the Capital to Turn the Skies Upside Down

(An all-villain free-for-all + household intrigue + no one is reborn + no System + no golden finger)

Wei Ruyuan was taken to Gusu by her maternal grandmother, the Qin matriarch, when she was just a month old. She remained there until she was eighteen, when her grandmother died and her father, Wei Yunhui, brought her back to the capital.

After returning, Wei Ruyuan brought to light her father Wei Yunhui’s past: he had repaid kindness with betrayal, demoted his wife to a concubine, and carried on an affair with Xie Qinghan, his legitimate wife from a distinguished family, resulting in a pregnancy.

To avenge her mother, she also married Lu Chenzhi, the third young master of the Marquis of Leling’s household and the fiancé of Xie Qinghan’s daughter, Wei Anlan. He used his reputation as a wastrel as a cover.

When Wei Ruyuan was brought back to the Wei household at eighteen, peace vanished for both the Wei and Xie families. Some met untimely deaths, some took their own lives, husbands and wives turned against each other, and sisters-in-law became enemies.

Before long, Wei Ruyuan married into the Marquis of Leling’s household as a co-wife alongside Wei Anlan, making an already tangled struggle among three factions even more chaotic.

Wei Ruyuan: If she can’t have a good life, then no one will!

Lu Chenzhi: This woman is cunning and sly. She’s quite interesting!
