The Legitimate Daughter Seizes Power: After Marrying the Second-Place Scholar, I Clean House with Blood

The legitimate daughter weeps blood, falls completely into darkness, and takes control of the inner household! She marries the top-ranked candidate in the palace exams, brutally punishes her wretched father and stepmother, outwits her half-siblings, and protects her younger brother. Pure satisfaction!

Shen Zhiwei, the legitimate daughter of Shen Yi, Vice Minister of Rites, fell into hell after her mother “died of illness.” Her stepmother mistreated her, her half-sister and half-brother bullied her, and her cold-blooded father sold her off. Even her little brother and grandmother were freely abused. She endured the humiliation and bided her time, secretly investigating the truth behind her mother’s poisoning and carefully plotting to tear the wolves apart.

First came the marquis’s heir, who betrayed her with false affection. Then there was Xie Jingheng, the iron-willed top-ranked candidate, who protected her to the very end. He endured humiliation for her, risked death to remonstrate with the court, and defied fate to change their lives. She took charge of his household, cleared the obstacles in his way, and helped him rise to the top.

From legitimate daughter in a cold courtyard to the most powerful woman among the great families, she swept through the inner household and personally slew her enemies. Standing shoulder to shoulder with her doting, battle-hardened general, she became the most formidable and revered legitimate daughter in all of Great Xia!
