Everyone, Be Careful: There's a Black-Hearted Woman in the Inner Court

[Clever and composed heroine x carefree, charming hero with a head full of schemes] Chi Leyang was born a pampered young lady, with loving parents and a peaceful household. It was only after her mother died in childbirth that Chi Leyang realized their loving marriage was a sham. Her father was a hypocrite who ignored her and her younger brother, while carrying on with his concubines in the rear courtyard. Her brother was poisoned, and their servants were framed. These attacks and schemes finally made her understand how hard life in the inner household could be. Everyone had their own little schemes, fighting for fame and fortune and plotting against one another. Overnight, she was no longer an innocent, carefree girl. From then on, she would kill anyone who stood in her way, be they god or Buddha. Then, by chance, she learned that her mother's death had not been an accident. From that moment on, she would repay blood with blood. A series of schemes unexpectedly brought the Chi residence's hidden history to light and entangled her with the most favored prince in the palace. Faced with his constant wariness, probing, and advances, Chi Leyang curled her lips into a smile. “Perfect. I can make use of this prince.”
