“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. ...

The class proceeded as usual. Wei Liuying didn't bother with her mistake and the teachers also seemed to have given up on her. After the class was over, Wei Liuying could see Wei Zilin looked a bit restless.
"Second Sister, has First Sister come out?" Wei Liuying asked.
Wei Zilin shook her head. "She's in the class beside ours, but I think the teacher wants her to stay behind to perform something."
"I see."
At this time, the melodious tone from zither rang out from the classroom. It was playing a slow yet elegant song that everyone was familiar with. Wei Liuying's eyes narrowed when she started to listen to the song. It was a song that represented the happiness and joy, but the way Wei Xiao Hua played it didn't seem to reflect that feeling.
Instead, Wei Liuying could feel the strain and also hidden sadness. It was as if she was forcing herself to put on a bright figure while she was actually feeling sad.
'She's putting on another performance.'
