[1vN + Forced Acquisition + Battleground of Heroes + Villainous Woman's Power Rivalry] Wei Yuan was born with a bewitching and charming appearance, but despite being illiterate, she was determined to climb the social ladder. The Crown Princess's elder sister forced her to become a surrogate mother, and after she complied and flattered her, she even asked the Crown Prince for a formal title. Her elder sister scoffed at her, calling her a lowly concubine's daughter delusional, unaware that the pure and abstinent crown prince had already tasted the sweetness and was completely infatuated with her. People vilified her as a wicked concubine who brought chaos to the Eastern Palace. But it was precisely this delicate and fragrant concubine who made all the powerful and influential people in the capital envious. The powerful and ruthless Ninth Prince, who held immense influence in the court, was driven mad by her and used every means to lure her into his tent every night. A dashing young general, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, wagged his tail in courtship. The upright and virtuous prime minister coldly sought pleasure. The dissolute and frivolous prince offered himself as a concubine, kneeling and begging for the throne. One after another, powerful and influential men kissed her, openly and secretly vying for her affections. Crown Prince: "... You enjoy kissing my concubine, don't you?" They thought Wei Yuan was timid, greedy, and easy to control. It wasn't until one day, when they had fought to the point of mutual destruction, that they realized the truth. She has climbed to the top by stepping on them, reaching the pinnacle of power. —— "As long as you dare, you can become a noble lady in the capital that everyone envies." Wei Yuan certainly dared. She's just impersonating a noblewoman. She was just a beggar, but also a death row inmate wanted by the entire city. A woman who crawled out of the mud has no shortage of ambition. Her biological father said she was destined to be played with. But she didn't believe in fate. If Heaven does not favor her, then she will defy Heaven. Not only do they want to climb the social ladder, but they also want to assassinate the emperor, seize power, and rise to the top. [A glamorous, timid girl VS a pure-hearted, jealous prince/a possessive, sickly crown prince/a reserved, deeply affectionate prime minister/a cunning nemesis...]

But they seem to be enjoying it. —— The original female lead, who was also surrounded by handsome men: What do you mean by saying that the men in my sister's arms should have been mine?
