The Villainess? The Powerful Ministers All Love Me

[Villainess + Everyone's Favorite + All Male Leads Are Chaste]

Meng Zhaoyao learns from a tasker that she is merely a wicked supporting female character in an harem novel, destined for a tragic death.

In the original story, she is infatuated with the male lead, repeatedly frames the heroine, and throws herself at the other male leads. In the end, her actions bring ruin to the Chancellor's residence: her parents are beheaded, her eldest brother is exiled, and her sisters take their own lives.

But the power of the plot can't trap her!

Her beauty turns heads, but it is her clear-headedness that lets her stand firm.

Who could have guessed that all the men who were supposed to fall for the heroine would end up clinging to her instead?

Dealing with the possessive Crown Prince Qin Heng, she pretends to be deeply devoted and flings herself into his arms. "Wasn't my most precious thing taken by you?"

He goes mad. "Zhaozhao, how about I lock you up in the Eastern Palace?"

When her childhood friend, the young Marquis Lu Chi, returns to the capital, she puts on a teary-eyed act. "After all these years, our bond still couldn't compare to someone who came along later."

He grovels. "Yaoyao, you are the only one I've ever loved! You!"

To the cool and abstinent top scholar Gu Zhiyuan, she lightly touches his chest. "Is your heart racing because of me, Lord Gu?"

He tries to hold it together. "Yaor, ever since I met you, I've lost all composure."

Facing the gentle and refined physician Wen Qianhe, she speaks with impeccable propriety. "Doctor Wen, you have a healer's compassion and put the people first."

He looks aggrieved. "Miss Meng, you pity them. Could you spare a little pity for me too?"

The foreign prince Tuoba Lie comes on strong, and she shouts in exasperation, "Get lost!"

He plots in secret. "A-Zhao, I'm going to spirit you away to the great grasslands and make you my woman!"

The tasker still thinks they can use her as a pawn?

Meng Zhaoyao curls her lip and sneers.

The chessboard has been in her hands all along.
