The Whole Household Torments Me? The Regent Has My Back. Wipe Them All Out!

Jiang Yuning was born with six toes on one foot. Her mother hemorrhaged when she was born, and her grandfather died soon afterward, so she was branded a harbinger of misfortune. Yet it was precisely because of this so-called jinx that the Jiang family rose through the ranks and prospered. Her mother constantly kept her in check, refusing to let her take pride in her achievements, yet repeatedly used her to pave the way for her eldest brother, win fame for her second brother, and help her younger sister marry into the imperial family. Unable to hold back, she asked, "Why are you so biased, Mother? Why do you never make plans for me?" Her mother smiled faintly. "If you can find a cure for the plague, I'll petition to have you granted the title of County Lady." She cured the plague, but her mother repaid her with a blazing inferno. People in the capital all marveled that the Jiang family had risen from a minor official's household to become the Marquis of Anping, then the Duke of Anguo, in just three short years. No one remembered that all the Jiang family's glory had been bought with Jiang Yuning's life. Reborn, Jiang Yuning understood that she could never force someone to love her. Her eldest brother wanted to use her marriage to advance his career, so she severed ties with him. Her second brother wanted to use her money to buy fame, so she gave him nothing. Her younger sister wanted to use Jiang Yuning's reputation for benevolence to pass herself off as a fine lady and marry into the imperial family, so Jiang Yuning struck first. Why was the Regent, who had agreed to a sham marriage with no consummation, climbing into her bed in the middle of the night? "Your Highness, stop! Don't you like the Empress?"
