Stepmother Schemes to Kill Me for Money, and My Scumbag Father Is Heartless? Then They Can All Die!

After her brother dies a horrific death, she finally sees her stepmother's venomous heart and her father's utter cruelty.

It turns out her stepmother had murdered her way into her father's bed and seized her birth mother's dowry. Even her leg was crippled because her stepsister coveted her marriage prospects.

Reborn on the day of her coming-of-age banquet, she opens her eyes and slaps her stepmother, then tears into her scoundrel of a father.

In this life, she will grind her stepsister into the dirt and kick her brother, whom their family ruined, back onto the right path.

She casually picks up a scholar to motivate her brother, never realizing that this "useful tool" is a future powerbroker.

Once her revenge is complete and the Earl's residence has fallen, Jiang Zhaoning and her brother settle down to a new life with a vast fortune.

But then the man, dressed in crimson robes and a purple sash, corners her against a wall.

"You used me and now you want to run? Who was it that swore she would marry no one but me?"

"Eloping would be such a hardship. The Earl's residence has fallen, so I'll give you a phoenix crown and bridal robes."

Jiang Zhaoning is mortified. Only now does she realize that the man heard everything she said when she was trying to coax her brother: that she was in love with a poor scholar and wanted to elope with him!
