The Scheming Beauty Seeks a Powerful Patron, Only to Fall into a Vortex of the Powerful

[Everyone's favorite + romantic rivalry + pure-hearted men + not a strong, independent heroine]

Wei Yiyuan is a bad woman.

For wealth and status, she dumped the childhood friend who had raised her and stole the identity of a young lady from a prestigious family in the capital.

She thought she'd enjoy a life of fine clothes and good food from then on. But she never imagined that the impoverished young man she'd abandoned was the legitimate son of a noble family, and that he'd return to the capital in triumph.

She refused to accept this and was determined to climb even higher!

Who could have guessed...

Her calculating, powerful cousin cut off every escape route and laid a trap to draw her into his arms;

The pure-hearted young general fell in love at first sight, placing his whole heart before her, burning with feeling and clumsy in his devotion;

The proud, free-spirited Sixth Prince coveted his friend's beloved. He appeared honorable on the surface but fell for her in secret, growing more and more twisted after she rejected him;

The patient, long-hidden former Crown Prince used himself as bait to lure her into his scheme, only to drown in it first;

The aloof, self-controlled Chancellor knew she was full of lies, yet willingly sank with her;

The audacious, wickedly charming younger twin brother stole kisses and played at seduction, wearing the same face as his twin;

Wei Yiyuan thought she was clever enough to seize every chance to climb the social ladder, but she kept getting caught in romantic showdowns, with everyone cornering her against the wall.

[She's selfish, spoiled, and full of lies. She toys with everyone's sincere feelings, yet they all love this bad woman to bits!]
