I Refuse to Be a Sacrificial Pawn! I’ll Help My Villainous Brother Topple the Imperial City

Jiang Yunyao is transmigrated into a story about a real and fake heiress as a cannon-fodder supporting character. Her selfish parents are bleeding her dry, and she’s facing a dead end: they’re forcing her to marry a perverted eunuch.

To hell with the real heiress! I refuse to play this villainess!

She promptly signs a severance agreement, takes her enormous dowry, and runs off to the northern frontier to seek refuge with her five cousins, exiled for treason.

Only she knows that these five pitiful men, struggling like mudfish in a mire, will all become mad, ruthless villains who bring the world to its knees!

The eldest will become a corrupted grand secretary, the second a bloodthirsty Prince of Zhennan, the third the master of the Night Pavilion, the fourth the richest man in the world, and the fifth a peerless poison master.

Jiang Yunyao splurges like crazy, pampering her five villainous cousins until they’re thriving.

Later, when the marquis’s household goes bankrupt, her scumbag parents kneel in the snow and beg her to come home. Her five cousins beat them out the door with sticks. “Get lost! Don’t you dare offend my sister’s eyes!”

With her powerful allies firmly in her corner, Jiang Yunyao is ready to kick back and coast to victory. But the sickly man she rescued from the snow, who keeps calling out, “Yunyao, I’m hungry,” turns out to be the fearsome, violent regent!

He pins her against a wall, his eyes reddening. “You saved me, Yunyao. The only way I can repay you is to offer you my empire and my hand in marriage.”

Her five villainous cousins draw their swords at once. “You dog! Let go of my sister!”
