After Her Family Was Executed, the Impostor Upended the Dynasty and Seized the Throne

Xiao Laiyi, daughter of a family of generals, served with diligence and defended her country, only to have her entire family condemned to death overnight!

The commander she trusted most had honeyed words and a treacherous heart. Grief-stricken, he personally reported the Xiao family for treason. Her scumbag fiance stayed behind closed doors and washed his hands of the matter with a letter breaking off their engagement.

For wealth and glory, they climbed over the bones and blood of the Xiao family, turning a blind eye even though they knew the family had been framed.

Who could have imagined that Xiao Laiyi would become the Fifth Princess, a disaster whom everyone said had brought about her mother's death?

She returned to the palace in grand fashion, showing no mercy. Surrounded by wolves in the inner court, she refused to suffer in silence, fighting for power step by step. She swore to clear the Xiao family's name and make the real culprit pay!

Against the Second Prince, the mastermind behind it all, she made careful plans to get close and find evidence. This time, she would not let anyone manipulate her. There was no hurry; she would take her time and fight!

But as the truth slowly came to light, the Second Prince, once her sworn enemy, risked his life to protect her.

The commander who had won great military honors held a blade and shielded her, facing tens of thousands of enemy troops. "Yao'er, I took this city for you. Can you forgive Uncle Zheng this once?"

Her scumbag former fiance knelt outside her palace all night. "A Yao, I'll give you my life. Will you forgive me?"

The notorious, ruthless Second Prince Jing Heng gazed at her with deep affection. Eyes red, he clutched a tiny plum blossom and advanced on her step by step. "It's only the kingdom. If you want it, I'll take it for you."

Whatever Xiao Laiyi desired, from the throne to power, he would lay it all at her feet!
