[Reborn // Face-Slapping // Taming Men // A Battle Royale of Suitors // Controlling the Entire Board // Her Whole Family's Redemption // Concubine-Born Daughter's Rise // Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger]
In her previous life, after her maternal grandfather died, Jiang Ciwan was forced to go to the capital and claim her family. Once inside the household, she was tormented by her stepmother, framed by her legitimate-born sisters, abandoned by her fiancé for the sake of power, and ultimately met a tragic end.
Jiang Ciwan eventually learned one thing: this world has no place for good people.
After being reborn, she decided to stop being a good person and become a villainess.
Her legitimate-born younger sister framed her? Then she'd steal her sister's fiancé and let her taste what it was like to be abandoned and killed by the man she loved.
Her legitimate-born older sister bullied her? Then she'd snatch away her dream of becoming a princess consort and grind her underfoot. After all, crushing someone's heart was the best revenge!
And the fiancé who had pursued power and betrayed her? She'd make him watch as the career he'd chased turned to dust.
She trampled the powerful men who had once treated her like a plaything, keeping them wrapped around her little finger.
The high-ranking heir to the heir apparent liked delicate, innocent women? Fine, she could play that part.
The cold, brooding prince liked resilient, kindhearted women? Fine, she could play that part too.
She would become the ideal woman in their hearts, their beloved white moonlight, their delicate flower, then drag them down from their pedestals and climb to the top on the power they offered her.
What bad woman? The problem was that these men had no willpower.
She would play with their hearts, but never give them hers.
(The heroine loves herself most and values power. She doesn't give her love exclusively to one person, though she can be devoted. She plays the pig to eat the tiger and cat-and-mouse games with the men.)
