The illegitimate elder sister is a genius? You think copying a couple of poems makes you a talented woman? I’ll ruin your reputation and leave you with nothing! The noble legitimate mother is vicious and scheming? All your plotting amounts to nothing more than a tiny patch of land. Let’s see how I crush you beneath the weight of the world’s affairs! The legitimate elder sister is peerlessly beautiful, hypocritical, and jealous? Even the prettiest face is just a vase without a brain to match. Let’s see how I tear off your mask! The imperial power struggle begins, and the dynasty is thrown into turmoil once more. When one act ends, another takes the stage. A little illegitimate daughter arrives with nothing, yet stirs up a storm and leaves behind countless legends. They say she was cold-blooded and merciless, stepping over the blood of her own family as she advanced, until she achieved fame and success. They say she was ruthless and iron-willed, unleashing bloody storms in the business world, earning herself the title of a generation’s Asura and taking control of a commercial empire that spanned the land. They say that despite her plain looks, the finest men in the land fought over her and fell for her. A bewitching rogue pursued her, princes were hopelessly in love with her, and young gentlemen gave her their hearts. The whole world descended into chaos! -----Little scenes from the story----- PART 1 “So you like luminous pearls that much?” The bewitching rogue leaned close, his amber eyes alluring and wicked. “How about I give you a pair of precious pearls? My eyes have been useless all this time. I never knew a pearl when I saw one. Perhaps I should dig these eyes out and give them to you. We could gaze at each other day and night, and maybe grow fond of each other over time.” “I don’t like playing with glass marbles.” “Then what about my heart? How would you like that?” PART 2 “Let go!” “No!” The handsome man smiled, his face breathtakingly beautiful. “You look innocent, but you’re actually cunning. Gu Wanning, no one would dare take you. Why don’t I reluctantly claim you for myself? That way, you won’t be let loose to wreak havoc on the world.” “I think I’d rather go wreak havoc on the world.” “Little fox, don’t think I’ll fall for your reverse psychology. I’ve decided: you’re mine!” PART 3 “You drugged me?” she asked coldly. The beautiful young man before her looked a little frantic. “Yes, I drugged you. Otherwise, how could I get you to stay here willingly? I chose wrong last time, but this time I won’t make the same mistake. Gu Wanning, you are destined to be mine. If Heaven offers you a gift and you refuse it, you’ll be punished. Accept your fate!” “Accept my fate? What a joke. I decide my own destiny. Today, either I die, or you won’t lay a finger on me!” This is a one-couple story with no angst. The heroine is cold-blooded, merciless, scheming, and incredibly powerful. The hero is just as strong.
