My Whole Family Was Slaughtered? The Black Lotus Heiress Is Back for Revenge

In her previous life, Murong Xuewei married the poor scholar Jiang Lingyun for love, using the full power of the Murong family to pave his way to success. Only in the end did she discover that it had all been a plot to seize the Murong family's wealth. From her accidental fall into the water, to her marriage for love, to her family devoting everything to help him, every step had been deliberately arranged. The mastermind was the current Grand Princess, and her accomplice was Murong Lian, the adopted younger sister she had cherished since childhood. The Murong clan had always worked diligently in business and stayed out of court affairs. She never imagined that one day the Grand Princess, who wielded power over the entire court, would set her sights on their fortune. When Murong Xuewei opened her eyes again, she was back before her fall into the water. Murong Lian, don't you want power and to take charge of the Murong family? Then I'll give you an even higher stepping stone: I'll hand you the Grand Princess's man. Jiang Lingyun, don't you want to pry the Murong family's secrets out of someone? Go pry them out of Murong Lian instead! After dealing with her adopted sister, Murong Xuewei looked at the great general before her. “So, what do you say? Want to team up and do something big?” Gu Ye wrapped an arm around her. “I'd be delighted, my wife.” Wait, something's not right! Did we make this a little too big? How did I somehow end up with the empress's throne?
