[Everyone's darling / Multiple love interests / A little brain-teasing]

Blurb One:

Everyone says it's a foregone conclusion that Xia Xuanlu will become the next head of the family, but no one in the Xia family truly believes it.

She knows her family all want that position.

From a young age, she understood that she and her mother were in it together.

But she couldn't understand why her mother protected her and guarded against her at the same time.

A mother and daughter could have each other's backs and focus on taking on outsiders, yet they could also drive each other to the edge of a cliff over the same position.

Xia Xuanlu also knows she's beautiful, and she knows what beauty can get her.

She's generous with her tenderness and doesn't mind a little flirtation.

The older daughter of a family friend thinks she's fallen for her. Her childhood friend thinks she's still clinging to the past. Even the proud heiress who never bows her head thinks she'll be the exception.

One after another, they fall for her, while Xia Xuanlu remains clear-headed.

Later, she really does claim that position and take everything into her own hands, leaving no one able to compete with her.

Her former lovers all come to ask her: "Did you ever love me at all?"

Love?

Even she can't say for sure.

Blurb Two:

There are plenty of bad women in the world, but Xia Xuanlu is the only one who's this bad and still manages not to get caught.

The daughter of a family friend is willing to marry into her family just to have her!

A longtime acquaintance is in love with her and would rather give up her future!

A profit-driven businesswoman is captivated by her and keeps showering her with wealth!

What is it about her that makes countless women fall for her, kneeling and begging for the scraps of affection she deigns to offer?
