    # Recommend this ancient story about a heroine's strategy! The family was covered in blood overnight, and a pair of twin sisters escaped from death and returned from the bloodshed. One person wanders around the court, working step by step, strategizing in the turbulent whirlpool of power; one person travels in the world, full of blood, holding a sharp blade to stir up troubled times. The court games, the battles on the battlefield, and the grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes are parallel. The IQ is online all the time, and there is no love brain. The powerful male protagonist appears, possessive to the core, knowing that she has a blood feud, but still insists on locking her to his side, and the pulling feeling is full. The road to revenge is full of murderous intent. The two sisters are each other's armor, calculating people's hearts, taking the world as their scheming, and vowing to seek justice for the injustices of the whole family! Don't miss this if you like high-power plot and revenge novels with two heroines🔥

    All of them are high-scoring plots with a rating of 9 or above. I highly recommend the first three books.
