The Concubine's Daughter Is a Master Schemer

One day, she transmigrates to an era that never existed in history. Here, to survive and stay close to the man who can protect her, she becomes his obedient little maid! After reclaiming her true identity, she spends her days matching wits with a host of scheming noblewomen. Though she is a concubine-born daughter, she is no easy target! Treat me with respect, and I'll return it in kind! On her wedding night, she waits eagerly for him to lift her red veil and make her his beautiful bride. But what awaits her is... His hands clamp around her neck, his eyes bloodshot. “Why did you deceive me? Why did it have to be you? Tell me this isn't true, that it wasn't you!” Yan Xi gives a bitter smile. What was destined to come has finally arrived. “It was me. It's all true.” His grip tightens. Yan Xi can barely breathe. Tears slide from the corners of her eyes and fall onto his hand. “Get out!” He throws her to the floor. Finally able to breathe again, she coughs several times, then struggles to her feet and walks past him, one step at a time, her red wedding dress trailing behind her. “Next time, I'll kill you.” His words follow her. She pauses, then gives a bitter smile. So this is where they have ended up. He quietly follows behind her, keeping watch over her. “Even after a thousand years, your heart still belongs only to him. Even when you're covered in wounds, you never give up! When will you ever turn around and see that I've always been here...” Author's note: The blurb is for reference only.
