“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. ...

Yang Xian smiled when he saw Shi Yan's dark face. "Do you not like the new job I give to you?"
"Not really. It's not my real task, Xian. Do you think that I'll be happy receiving so many tasks from you?" Shi Yan replied in annoyance. He stretched his body. "Anyway, I'm not going to go back to the capital city, so…."
"It's not there."
"Then?"
"I need you to deliver some messages to the nearby city's leader. It's already time for them to star working again," Yang Xian replied unhurriedly.
Shi Yan looked at Yang Xian for a moment then sighed. "You're truly a weird one, Xian."
"I heard that a lot."
"You act as if you're not suitable to be a leader, but you know the overall situation better than anyone. There are even many occasions when you're far better than His Highness in terms of analyzing."
Yang Xian arched his eyebrows. "It's because that idiot lost all reasons whenever it's something concerning his beloved ones."
"Right."
