In This Matriarchy, Hold It In Now and You’ll Only Get Angrier. Turn Around and Pay Them Back in Full

(1vN, all the men are pure in body and heart, even the male courtesans; the heroine sleeps with chaste men, so she is chaste too)

[Feel-Good Story] [Phoenix from a Poor Family] [Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic]

After Liang Shuluan dies, she discovers that she has become a minor villainess with a tragic fate in a book.

What's a minor villainess? If she's doing this, she'll be the big bad.

She'll take the handsome men for herself and trample the heroine beneath her feet.

She recognizes characters at three, has read every old book in the house by four, and can already draw inferences by five. Her elder brother marries into the prestigious Xu family to pave the way for her, trading that for a chance for her to study under a great Confucian scholar. She uses the opportunity to lie low at the Xu family school, keeping her head down as she plots her every move.

The world says it's hard for talent to emerge from a poor family. She intends to climb, step by step, all the way to the top.

From the county exams to the palace examination, from Qingxi to the capital.

Everything in the world can be put to use for her.
