The Di Daughter Is the Emperor's Phoenix

Ming Jing'er: Ten years ago, she watched with her own eyes as her mother and maternal grandfather's entire family were brutally killed. Ten years later, the woman who murdered her mother has become her stepmother. Life really is full of surprises... When she suddenly appeared at the prince's manor and saw her stepmother's stunned expression, she smiled faintly and said, "The county princess didn't die after all. Aren't you surprised?" The legitimate daughter of the Prince of Mo's household, presumed dead for ten years, had made a spectacular return. Once the news spread, the imperial capital was swept by one wave after another. Her fiancé showed up at just this moment and broke off their engagement in front of everyone. Even her rightful place as the legitimate daughter was snatched away by her stepsister, who came along later. They wanted to make her a laughingstock, but she had never been one to let others bully her. In this life, she lived by one principle: If this county princess can't have it, then no one else can. A sudden murder case caused a sensation throughout the court, and she was caught up in it as well. As the truth came to light, the secrets that had been buried began to surface. Her stepmother grew terrified. Her stepsister feared her. The palace's hidden hand reached into the prince's manor. Even the emperor tested her from time to time. The realm fell into turmoil, and court officials, merchants, and commoners alike were thrown into chaos.

Ming Lieri: I fell for you, then let those feelings go, only for you to tell me your heart had long since shattered into pieces. Fan Minglang: Only in the end did I understand that protecting you was more than a promise, yet had nothing to do with romance. Fan Mingri: That day was our wedding. I would leave the Heavenly Palace and welcome you in person. This is a companion novel to The Prime Minister's Noble-Born Wife. It has a one-on-one ending. I hope you enjoy it.
