Left to Die After They Took Everything? She Wipes Out the Whole Clan and Claims Her Phoenix Throne

[Dual Rebirth] [Scheming White Lotus Heroine] [Political Intrigue] [Feel-Good Read]

Lu Jiuwei is the eldest daughter of a wealthy merchant family. After both her parents die, her maternal aunt, Madam Wang, takes her and her younger sister in, supposedly to care for them, but really to seize their family fortune.

She is poisoned to death by her aunt.

-- Her maid, who was as close to her as a sister, is sold and ends up in a brothel, where she dies of a venereal disease?

-- Her younger sister is deliberately married off to a violent man and beaten to death soon after the wedding, while her wicked cousin, who colluded in their crimes, marries into a noble family in grand style and uses Lu Jiuwei's fortune to support her husband's household?

-- Her cousin, who swore eternal love and promised to marry her after passing the imperial exams, learns she was killed by his mother after placing third in the palace examination, yet does nothing. Instead, he marries the Duke's daughter, who conspired with his mother to harm her?

-- Her aunt spends a million gold coins to buy a marquisate, making herself a grand and influential Marchioness?

After being reborn,

she acts mild-mannered and easy to bully on the surface, but is ruthless and strikes back hard.

Reborn with knowledge of the coming upheaval, she advises Prince Ling to avoid danger.

He tells her, "Your situation is difficult too. I can be your protector."

Lu Jiuwei's heart flutters. "Then, Your Highness, be my sworn elder brother."

As a merchant's daughter, she would benefit from having a powerful prince like Prince Ling as her sworn brother and protector.

Knowing that a marriage alliance between Xie Yu and the Chancellor's daughter could help him seize the throne, she sets out to bring them together.

But his face turns as cold and dark as ice. "Do you think I'm so useless that I can only succeed by relying on a woman?"

From then on, something between the sworn siblings begins to change.

One day, everyone in the prince's residence is gossiping: "Have you heard? The prince pinned his sworn sister against the door and... kissed her!"
