The Unyielding Illegitimate Daughter

After being reborn as the illegitimate daughter of a minor official, Han Shengyu assumed her life would follow the usual path from poverty to prosperity. But when she received a summons to the imperial capital, she realized she had been thrust into a novel with a far darker twist. In the original story, her striking beauty, sharp mind, and even her life were meant to be sacrificed for the sake of the male and female leads’ grand romance. Unwilling to accept that fate, Han Shengyu resolved to take control of her own story. Armed with intelligence and determination, she set out to defy the plot and carve her own path through the intrigues of the capital. She made it clear she would not be overlooked or used, and that those who stood with her would benefit, while those who crossed her would pay the price. With that resolve, she was determined to show that even the least likely figure could become someone of consequence.
