The Villainous Fake Heiress, But Her Inner Thoughts Are Heard

Lu Lingyun and her legitimate younger sister, Lu Hanyi, both reincarnate. In the previous life, she married the second son of a sixth-rank civil official, while her legitimate younger sister married the heir of a marquis house, and everyone said that her younger sister had made a good marriage. But who knew that in the end, the second son of the civil official whom Lu Lingyun married became the Prime Minister and even obtained a first-class title for Lu Lingyun. On the other hand, her younger sister could not compete with the beloved concubine of the heir, forcing the two to elope, leaving her to live as a virtual widow for the rest of her life. Having enjoyed a glorious life, Lu Lingyun opened her eyes again only to find herself back at the age of sixteen, right when marriage proposals were being discussed. Her legitimate younger sister preemptively took her promising prospect, leaving the position of the lady of the marquis house to Lu Lingyun. Lu Lingyun smiled faintly upon seeing this. Take it, take it; she would realize later that Li Er’s rise to become the Prime Minister and his ability to obtain a title for his wife were all due to the path she had laid out for him. Without her, Li Wenxun would be no more than an official of the sixth rank. The title that her legitimate younger sister desires is even less likely to be obtained. However, having snatched away the marriage prospects, Lu Lingyun decided that in this life, she would become the main lady of the marquis house, a more glorious main lady of the marquis house.
