Ling Qingzhi was the Luo family's stepdaughter and a wicked white lotus, best at wearing a pitiful expression to coax others into doing her dirty work for her benefit. That was how people in their circle described her after she was driven out of the family five years ago.
Ling Qingzhi didn't take it to heart.
Because she thought they weren't wrong.
It was just that everyone had misunderstood what she was trying to do back then.
She drugged Song Yanci not to seduce him, but to get him into Lin Wanying's bed, so that the ill-fated couple could make things official and put an end to Luo Chongan's hopes.
Oh, Luo Chongan was her brother, the legitimate eldest young master of the Luo family, and her dear brother despite having different parents.
Ever since she came to the Luo family at seven, she couldn't stand seeing Luo Chongan show even the slightest kindness to another girl. He had indulged her little selfish streak, until Lin Wanying appeared.
Sixteen-year-old Ling Qingzhi hated Lin Wanying with all her heart. Everyone thought the young lady was jealous over Song Yanci, after all, he was the only young master who had taken a special interest in Lin Wanying from the very first day she appeared.
They didn't know that Ling Qingzhi had noticed that the brother she was closest to had also developed secret feelings for Lin Wanying.
The glances he pretended were casual, the extra gifts, the pinned chat on his phone, the way he defended her at the dinner table... Each little thing was inconspicuous, yet like a slow knife, it cut Ling Qingzhi to the quick.
Her hatred of Lin Wanying reached its peak on Luo Chongan's eighteenth birthday:
At the time, Luo Chongan, caught between boyhood and manhood and reeking of alcohol, pulled Ling Qingzhi close as she emerged from her bath, seemingly veiled in mist. He murmured in her ear:
"Lin Wanying."
