A Plaything in the Inner Chambers: I Rise to Power with the Help of Powerful Families

Mingyue spent fifteen years in Jiangnan, and hated every one of them. When she returned, she was a famous opera star in Jiangnan, while he was a young master of a powerful family. He said, “You're not only good at acting onstage, you're even better at it offstage.” She smiled modestly. “You're the better actor, Second Young Master. I can't compare.” Amid the envy of everyone in that grand estate, could things really be as wonderful as they imagined? She moved among them all, yet no one could keep her. They all wanted her to be a caged bird. She scoffed. She wanted no part of it. From the day she returned, she was determined to make those lofty masters lower their heads and look at the dust they had once ground underfoot.
