The Duke's Pampered Darling is So Scheming

Zhan Xiye
Ye Chutang, the heir of an Ancient Medical Family, toiled her entire life, only to die unexpectedly just as she was about to take over. Reborn into a new life, all she wants is to be a salted fish and laze her life away. Who knew she would start with a critical blow: her parents and eldest brother were assassinated, leaving her and three children behind. Her third brother was gravely injured, her fourth brother was in a coma, and there was a nursing baby crying out for food. She weighed the cold corn bun in her hand and looked up at the sky in despair; one person dragging along three, this hand of cards was so bad it would be better to start over. The Little Milk Group tugged on her pant leg. "Hungry." Ye Chutang: "..." Get up and get to work! Ye Chutang's plan was perfect: raise the children, then retire to live out her days. But as it turned out, a certain man would not let her have her way. "Second Miss Ye, you've delayed me for so many years. You ought to give me an explanation." Ye Chutang: "6." You were the one who lingered at my door and refused to leave back then, and now it has become my fault? The Ye Family became extraordinary: The Ye Family's third son is the dynasty's top scholar, the Ye Family's fourth son is renowned in the Northwest for his great military achievements, and the Ye Family's Fifth Miss has a business empire that spans the world, her wealth rivaling a nation's. Only Second Miss Ye of the Ye Family, busy raising her younger siblings, had unknowingly grown older, her marriage prospects becoming a worry. Until one day, the all-powerful Duke Dingbei, Shen Yanchuan, arrived with a ten-li-long bridal procession to marry her. Ye Chutang was silent for a long time. "This time, you're in charge of the kids."

Hololive Chronicles.

This story unfolds amid a fierce conflict between two powerful factions: the Myths and the Council. The Council, an authoritative and enigmatic organization, seeks to impose its will by eliminating anyone who dares to oppose or challenge its authority. Their methods are ruthless, reflecting a desire to maintain control at any cost, and they stop at nothing to enforce their decrees upon the world. Standing in direct opposition to this oppressive force are the Myths, warriors and defenders committed to halting the Council’s destructive ambitions in order to preserve freedom and justice. At the heart of this conflict are two compelling figures whose paths and allegiances starkly contrast. Alex Garcia, a disciplined Warrior Monk hailing from the Forsaken Monks order, is renowned as the "Iron Fist." His journey as a wandering adventurer is marked by unwavering dedication to justice and the defense of the oppressed, which leads him to join the Myths in their desperate fight against the Council’s overwhelming power. In contrast, Brian Bautista represents the shadowy precision of the Hunters Blade Shinobi. Known as the "Fist of Fury," Brian is a skilled mercenary for hire whose lethal abilities make him an invaluable asset to the Council. His decision to align with the Council and become their sixth member not only strengthens their ranks but also intensifies the personal and ideological clash between him and Alex. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, power, and morality as these two warriors navigate their intertwined destinies amidst escalating violence and political intrigue. The struggle between the Myths and the Council is more than a mere battle; it is a profound contest over the future of their world, where choices carry weighty consequences and alliances are continuously tested. Will Alex and the Myths succeed in stopping the Council’s tyranny, or will Brian and the Council prevail, ushering in an era of unchallenged control? This story delves deeply into the complexities of conflict, honor, and the enduring fight for what is right.
