I Was Born a Villainess

[A not-so-kind minor official's daughter x a gentle, proper young nobleman]

Ling Zhi, the daughter of a minor official, works diligently and spends years scheming until the legitimate son of a high-ranking official in the neighboring prefecture falls deeply in love with her.

She thinks that once she comes of age, Ren Yu will come to ask for her hand in marriage.

But life is unpredictable. The marriage she spent more than a decade scheming to secure vanishes like a bubble!

Ling Zhi refuses to accept it!

So she schemes against Ren Yu, entering his household before his legal wife and becoming pregnant.

Later, the legal wife dies, and Yu Lang comes to confront me, his eyes red.

I lower my head. I smile, and then I start to cry.

"Yu Lang doesn't know that I was a villain all along."
