Villain Lady
“Future will only set in stone when it becomes the present.” Wei Liuying is a concubine daughter in Prime Minister’s Residence. A lowly existence with barely anyone who cares for her. She had to rely on her wits and manipulate others to stay alive. When the main daughter suddenly changed overnight, the others were dragged to keep up with her pace. Wei Liuying was no exception, and she had to adapt to the sudden power structure’s shift inside the residence. The main daughter laughed and looked at her with contempt, “Trying to scheme at me who knows everything like the back of my hand? You’re nothing more than a villain who’ll die a miserable death.” When the only one who cared for her was harmed by her father and so-called family, Wei Liuying laughed to Heaven as tears trailed on her cheek. “If you truly wish for me to be the villain, fine. I’ll be one.” In the midst of the raging flames of succession’s war and rebellions, Wei Liuying had to stand up for herself and fight for her survival. ...

They should have done more.
Wei Liuying closed her eyes for a moment, pushing all emotions to the back of her mind. She had to be strong because if she lost her mind in this situation, it might be too late.
She looked at the grieving Shi Mo then to Yang Xian. Her eyes were cold as she spoke out, "Tell me what you know about their plan."
Yang Xian gave the simplified version of what Xiong Tribe planned to do. They wanted to eliminate the crown prince and the princess in order to say that they no longer have to follow the treaty. Besides, this would also secure the second prince's path to the throne.
"And they succeed," Shi Mo said slowly, wiping the tears from his eyes. "Princess Ji Xiaoli had died."
