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. ...

Framing
The servants dispersed and followed after Wei Xiao Hua quietly. They all passed a look of pity towards Wei Liuying before they departed.
Xiao Qing bowed before Wei Liuying. "Miss, I truly didn't do anything! This servant is wronged."
"I know."
"Then, Miss…."
"But even if I try to investigate it, all evidence will point to you," Wei Liuying said quietly.
Xiao Qing was stunned. "How… how can it be…?"
Wei Liuying didn't elaborate anything as she looked back at Xiao Qing. She knew that Xiao Qing would always sneak to the kitchen early in the morning to sneak some meat buns for her after her punishment's day. At that time, the room would be empty and there would be no other servant who could testify for her.
As long as Wei Xiao Hua prepared some servants who could testify that Xiao Qing was seen in Wei Xiao Hua's quarter, she would be deemed guilty. There was no way out.
This was a plan that was carefully tailored to trap her.
