What White Moonlight, I Am Their Black Lotus

Cheng Yuanning was betrayed by her third sister, Cheng Qingyao, in a past life, helping her seize the throne before being pierced by ten thousand arrows and dying together. Upon rebirth, she schemes to steal her sister's legitimate daughter title, wins loyal servants in the inner quarters, and sows discord, forcing Cheng Qingyao into house arrest. She actively approaches the Chief Minister, Xie Heng, offering a Feng Shui map as a gift, securing the support of allies previously loyal to Cheng Qingyao. Through calculation and testing, they develop mutual feelings. Cheng Yuanning takes everything belonging to Cheng Qingyao, eliminates the Cheng family, the Crown Prince, and the heir to the Northern Marshal, and climbs to the top of power with Xie Heng's help, holding her own destiny in her hands.
