Scheming for Love, Step by Step: Marrying the Heir Apparent

In her previous life, Shi Qingxue loved the wrong man. Her family paid for it in blood, and she betrayed the man who had loved her with all his heart.

Fortunate enough to be reborn, she casts aside her naivety and becomes a venomous woman, determined to protect her loved ones at all costs.
