The Wicked Daughter Returns to the Capital to Choose a Husband, and Five Madmen Beg to Spoil Her

[One woman, five men / Villainess adored by all / Male rivalry showdown / Everyone's unhinged] Li Mingyi had died once. Torn apart by five horses, her body left without a trace. The man who oversaw her execution was the imperial brother she trusted most. Reborn, she would choose no husband in this life. She would choose five of the sharpest blades instead. Her sworn elder brother, a marquis who commanded the Imperial Guards, had fallen for the girl he'd raised himself. A cool and aloof noble scion coveted her before she had even married. She had tamed a foreign hostage into a rabid dog who wished he could lock his master away in his tent. The young general called her sworn brother “Elder Brother Marquis,” then pleaded with red-rimmed eyes for her to show him some affection too. Even the one who had grown up kneeling at her feet wanted to climb into her bed. So Li Mingyi coaxed her sworn brother into mobilizing troops, tricked the noble scion into plotting for power, used the hostage's cavalry to intimidate the court, then had the young general and her sworn younger brother kill for her. She smiled and promised, “Once this is done, I shall choose one of you to be my consort.” She had thought they would fight each other to the death for the prize. But one night, her sworn elder brother trapped her on the bed, his bloodstained palm caressing her face. “Your Highness, have you forgotten?” “We've known all along that you've been deceiving us.” They knew she had no true feelings, and they knew she only wanted to use them to seize power and save her own life. But so what? If she was going to deceive them, she might as well do it for a lifetime. As for the position of consort, whoever survives to the end gets it.
