After Cutting Ties with My Family, I Became the Tyrant's Beloved

Three months after giving birth, the commandery princess was forced to marry into a family in the southern frontier as a political bride. Her daughter, Song Yue, was sent to be raised at an estate. She couldn't read or tell the different grains apart, and had endless laundry to wash and firewood to chop. She endured torment at every turn. Her own elder brother doted on their half-sister, beating and kicking Song Yue and nearly killing her several times. Her wicked father encouraged the half-sister to steal Song Yue's betrothal and forced her to drink poison that would leave her an idiot. The half-sister, whom everyone praised, calmly enjoyed everything that should have belonged to Song Yue and pushed her into a freezing lake. Before Song Yue died, the girl said, “Your mother was a shameless seductress. Sacrificing her and you brought our family wealth and glory. All those years of scheming were worth it.” Song Yue died with regrets. When she opened her eyes again, she was once more the legitimate daughter forgotten at the estate. But this time, her mother, the commandery princess, had been reborn too! The princess's lover had seized the throne, and the new emperor was a devoted tyrant! The princess held the daughter she'd failed for thirteen years close, casting aside her reputation, severing ties with her blood relatives, punishing her own son, and tormenting her scoundrel of a husband as she trampled her half-daughter beneath her feet. Her clueless son? The princess struck him from the family register and disowned him. Her biased father? She ruined his future! The arrogant half-sister? She stripped her of status, ruined her reputation, and made sure she would never have children! Her meddling grandmother? She stripped away her title, leaving her so furious that her mouth and eyes twisted out of shape as she begged for death. Her contemptuous former fiance? His whole family was banished to a bitterly cold wasteland, and they wept and begged for forgiveness as they left. Before long, everyone knew that Song Yue was the commandery princess's one weakness, and the princess was the new emperor's Achilles' heel.
