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. ...

Stalemate (2)
The next day, the stalemate continued. With Yang Xian's order, the archers were now more focused to wound all the soldiers rather than just shooting randomly. This lowered their shooting rate but increasing their accuracy. At the same time, the infantry placed on the wall was experiencing higher pressure due to the increasing amount of soldiers who managed to climb.
Fortunately, they were able to hold on well.
"Strategist Yang, the east wall is asking for reinforcement!"
Yang Xian waved his hand. "Ask the archers to begin rapid shoot."
"Yes!"
By changing the strategy between the archers and infantry, Yang Xian controlled the city's condition to make sure that no wall was breached. Wars could last for days or even weeks, so he had to make sure that they made no mistake. Even a single mistake could lead to a fatal result.
They could not afford it.
