Becoming the Stepsister of an Aristocratic Family

Villainess trains dogs | Everyone's favorite | No choosing between love interests | Everyone has one-sided crushes | The ultimate battle for her affection | All male leads are virgins | Old-school Mary Sue

Wen Jing, the sole heir to the Wen family of Kyoto.

She is also a top-tier S-rank student at Ditton Academy, and a protege jointly cultivated by powerful political and financial families.

She is also the academy's de facto leader.

When her mother remarried once again, Wen Jing discovered that she was the villainess in a so-called Mary Sue novel.

And the so-called heroine was her half-sister, an illegitimate child with the same father.

Her refined and brilliant stepbrother gave the family fortune to the illegitimate daughter. After doing everything he could to support her, he became embroiled in financial crimes and ended up in prison.

Her wild childhood friend fought with his own brother over the illegitimate daughter. Heartbroken, he lost control of his sports car and plunged into the sea from a suspension bridge. His life or death was unknown.

Her gloomy and obsessive stepbrother took a knife to all his business rivals for the illegitimate daughter.

And Shen Lanjie, the rising star of Xingcheng, became the financial and political force backing the illegitimate daughter.

Meanwhile, Wen Jing grew jealous of the illegitimate daughter. After powerful figures and nobles pursued her one after another, she grew murderous, angering the men who doted on the illegitimate daughter. She went from a wealthy heiress to an heir abandoned by everyone.

But the male lead was someone else entirely.

How ridiculous.

If this dream was meant to warn her and set her on the right path, it was sorely mistaken.

Rather than have their love and adoration, she'd rather stay on top and watch them grovel to survive.

-- I am your jade steps. Crush me underfoot and stand above wealth and power.

-- I never dared to overstep, yet I overstepped completely, from the inside out.

-- I thought I was the exception. Then I realized everyone around me was a rabid dog.

-- Sister, I want to be your favorite.

-- My goddess, at this moment, I beg you to bite me and make me your follower.

-- Wolf ears, fox tails, deer antlers. Whatever you like, I'll become it in the flesh.

-- I stay clearheaded in the heat of desire, just so I can lose myself with you.

Reader's guide:

A villainess with power in her grasp [The heroine will stop at nothing to seize power, using every man around her.]

The original heroine won't be portrayed as too evil. They each have their own difficulties.

The characters' values do not represent the author's.

In the original storyline, none of the male leads had a romantic connection with the original heroine. It was all a misunderstanding. They're pure in body and mind, and only love Jingjing.

This is a semi-fictional setting, so don't get too hung up on the logic. Business, politics, and the military can work together in this fictional world. Please don't be too harsh. The interplay and push-and-pull matter more than the plot.

There are alternate ending extras. No one has an explicitly defined "boyfriend" status in the main story.

No romantic two-timing or hopping between ships.
