My Whole Family Is Full of Villainous Officials, and I'm the Hopeless Romantic?

Jiang Ci transmigrates into a book, becoming the legitimate daughter of a treacherous minister who shares her name and meets a tragic end.

The original Jiang Ci was a lovesick fool who brought ruin upon her powerful father, her ruthless and merciless brother, and even her equally influential maternal family. In the end, the entire clan was executed.

Having been reborn, Jiang Ci looks at her family of villainous officials and falls into deep thought.

Her father is the most powerful treacherous minister in the empire, ruthless and calculating.

Her brother is the most prominent villain in the book, brutal, sinister, and vengeful.

Her maternal family is an entrenched blight on the imperial court, every member a force to be reckoned with.

Everyone in the family has a hundred tricks up their sleeve, plotting day and night to rule the world.

Jiang Ci, transmigrated as a vicious, hopelessly lovesick fool, just wants to lie flat.

But ideals are lofty, while reality is harsh.

She discovers that with the original male and female leads around, lying flat is simply impossible.

And her ambitious family is constantly stirring up trouble.

So, following the principle “If you can't beat them, join them,” Jiang Ci becomes the behind-the-scenes strategist for her whole family of treacherous ministers and her villainous brother.

Many years later.

Jiang Ci looks back and realizes that she has somehow become the biggest villain of all.
