He Xinyu was an illegitimate daughter born to a servant in the prime minister's household. She acted pitiful and innocent to people's faces, but schemed at every turn behind their backs.
She schemed her way into an identity, schemed her way into status, and even schemed to steal her legitimate elder sister's marriage connections.
Just as she was marrying the fifth prince in a lavish ceremony and devising a series of schemes to deal with the concubines who had not yet entered the household, one thing went beyond her calculations: the fifth prince was nothing like the rumors. He was two-faced, far from the refined and gentle man he appeared to be.
She secretly framed a favored concubine, only to be inexplicably confined to her rooms for a month.
She had just dealt with a maid who knew the truth, and the next day she lost favor and was sent to a deserted courtyard, where she could barely even see the fifth prince.
She sought another way out and tried to incite the household steward to help her escape. Instead, when she woke up, she found herself imprisoned!
Unable to bear this injustice, He Xinyu decided to run away.
After countless schemes, she finally escaped. The first thing she did was find her unborn child a convenient father.
Just as an honest man was about to agree, Mu Xuanli, now emperor, suddenly appeared. "My lady, what are you doing?"
He Xinyu: "..."
It was all over; there was no denying it. She steeled herself and played her trump card. "I'm carrying the imperial heir. If you dare touch me, I'll kill your son first!"
Mu Xuanli's gaze fell on her belly. "...I wouldn't dare. I wouldn't dare."
He was scared half to death. Shouldn't they grant a general amnesty and celebrate for a few days?
A vain, scheming heroine × a male lead who is not what he seems / A heroine who only wants to build her career × a male lead who is career-minded at first but later only wants to be with her
Note:
1. The concubines in the male lead's household are a special case. Both leads are each other's first.
2. The heroine is not a good person in the ordinary sense, for a reason. Please be gentle.
3. The characters' values do not represent the author's values.

Please add my next book, After I PUA the Male Supporting Character, to your to-read list.
Zhou Jianing and Lu Chengqi sat next to each other for all three years of high school. Every day, she used PUA tactics on him, saying she spent his money because she liked him and telling him to hurry up and earn more so he could buy her everything she wanted.
So from then on, Lu Chengqi spent every day figuring out how to work and earn money to buy her food and clothes. He kept buying things for her all the way through college graduation.
After graduating, thanks to his extensive experience working odd jobs and earning money, Lu Chengqi gradually became successful. He made more and more money, and both of the major companies he ran went public one after another.
Meanwhile, Zhou Jianing, who had married Lu Chengqi, spent her days at home shopping, eating, drinking, and enjoying the simple, carefree life of a rich wife.
Then she awakened.
She learned that the world she lived in was a novel, and that her husband, who was unbelievably good at making money, was the novel's hapless third male lead, a backup devoted to the heroine.
He was obsessed with the heroine, willing to give her all the family's wealth, and didn't even expect anything in return. He only wanted her to be happy.
Zhou Jianing: "..."
She hadn't taken it seriously at first, but when she saw the heroine appear at Lu Chengqi's company, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
After lying flat and being lazy for so many years, was she really going to hand over the rich life she'd secured to someone else?
Zhou Jianing refused to accept it. After a few days of stewing, she realized things were getting more and more ridiculous. So after thinking it over, she decided to divorce amicably and take her share of the assets so she could enjoy life on her own.
Lu Chengqi couldn't understand. "Isn't the money I make enough for you? Then I'll work harder." Sure enough, before long, another company went public.
Zhou Jianing: "???" This was a huge misunderstanding. Looking at the enormous sum transferred to her phone, Zhou Jianing shamefully felt tempted. Maybe... she could hang on a few more days?
-
The heroine said to Zhou Jianing: "You don't even like him. Why keep wasting his time?"
Before Zhou Jianing could reply, Lu Chengqi objected. "How could that be? Who says she doesn't like me?"
The heroine: "She's deceiving you just to spend your money!"
Lu Chengqi: "She spends my money because she likes me. Besides, there are so many rich people. Why would she deceive anyone else when she can deceive me?"
The heroine's vision went dark.
Zhou Jianing: "..."
She never expected her PUA tactics to work this well.

Theme: Work hard for your own life and refuse to lie flat
Is the heroine too pitiful?
Looking at it this way, few people have been nice to the heroine since she was a child.
Do you still need to have sexual intercourse with such a pitiful little beauty who lacks love? Male protagonist, if you don't respect, don't favor, don't understand love, please let her go.
This chapter made me cry. I saw the heroine re-recognize the connection between people like a newborn. I was really heartbroken and moved. I just hope that the hero will not hurt her again?
Oh, I just came to understand it now.
Please collect the next book "I Rise After Being Cheated into Marriage" ~ The copy has been posted, welcome to move to the column Other pre-request collections Yeah
The heroine's mother treats her like this, and she still dreams that this mother will continue to be her mother... A poor child who has never experienced true maternal love.
The heroine, a little person, has done step by step things that the "big people" can't do, which is quite cool.
In other stories, the role of this sister is a past life in which she is reborn and wants to take back everything that belongs to me.
In other novels, the heroine's sister is the heroine, and the heroine is the supporting character.
