She is a Black-Hearted Lotus

Black-hearted female lead x smiling tiger male lead.

Tang Qingning encountered three "pawns" she could use on her way to collect her own bones.

One resembled her old acquaintance. She helped and supported him. When he was in deep trouble, she handed him the sharp blade of revenge, just waiting for him to overthrow the新政 cherished by her number one enemy.

One coveted her family status and was full of ambition. She calculated and used him, pulling him onto the same piratical ship. After the deed was done, she discarded him like a millstone after use, ending things by giving him a chance to marry a princess.

The last one was the most troublesome. At first, there was probing and suspicion, and a sudden desire to kill. Later, they became entangled and stuck deep in the mire. In the end, both begged the other to achieve full merit and willingly fell into the hells.

Tang Qingning suddenly realized that a fierce underling with sharp teeth and claws could also taste the flavor of love and yearn for human warmth.

The flowers he gave her were dense and rooted in her heart, blooming at its very tip.

Her bones were still warm. On the seventh day after her death, the underling who had returned from the underworld was reborn as the wealthy daughter of the Wu'an Marquis's mansion who had died for love, instantly rising to a high position.

Since clearing her name was fruitless, she would find another way to pull her enemies into hell.

Thus, a black-hearted lotus emerged from the pile of brocade. With a light flick of her slender hand, the situation became treacherous and unpredictable.

Mud and filth lay before the hall of gold and jade. Not all within the boudoir embroidery were Bodhisattvas with jade faces.

Yet, this fragile appearance and high-status identity attracted thousands of jackals. Since all harbor ulterior motives, why couldn't they become her blades?

[Reading Tips] The romance plot comes later; the beginning focuses mainly on revenge.

A little marriage before love, a little reuniting after separation.

The female lead is not pure; the male lead is.
