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. ...

Departure
After the short meeting with Wei Yijun and Xie Jing, Wei Liuying returned back to Prince Ji Sheng's Residence and stayed there. The next day, everyone headed out to the north gate and there were already several carriages plus a lot of horses ready. Many of Prince Ji Sheng's soldiers were already there too.
"This looks as if we're departing to war rather than going back," Wei Liuying commented.
Yang Xian laughed. "When we come here, His Highness bring a lot of soldiers with him. This is the one that caused the large number here."
"Are you sure that it's not because you have been recruiting more soldiers during your time here?"
"…Can you be less smart?"
Wei Liuying didn't reply again and moved her gaze back to the soldiers. She had seen the large number of soldiers when they first came to the capital city. Even though the increase was not drastic, she could see that Yang Xian must have already recruited more people than what he said on the surface.
