Also known as:
In the process of kicking out the male lead of a male-oriented novel who lives off women, I steal his harem and rise to the top of life with beauties on both arms.
Zhou Yining had lived for fifteen years as a proud and haughty princess, never imagining that she was the wicked original wife in a male-oriented harem novel, and that her whole family was destined to be nothing but stepping stones.
In the end, her entire family dies.
It's hard to accept, but reality soon proves it true.
Without a second thought, she decides to poison the male lead, only to be controlled by the force of the plot until she's left battered and humiliated.
All she can do is watch the man take a mistress right in front of her...
Calling her his distant cousin?
And all the people of the capital close their eyes and praise his devotion!
She laughs in anger and decides to take a lover openly, too, calling him her distant cousin.
Sheng Jingchao believes her.
But he soon senses something is wrong and hastens their wedding plans.
Zhou Yining, still unable to break free of the control: !!!
At the height of her despair...
Suddenly... Hmm? This female lead seems like she might...
Wait a minute... Hmm? At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, how did the lovers end up becoming siblings?!
And then there are the woman who transmigrated into a book, the reborn woman, her biological cousin...
In the end:
Taking a lover is pretty good. Stealing the protagonist's harem is even better.
