The Heiress's Shattered Crown

Meredith Sterling supported Liam Hayes, only to be forced to serve his concubine. She calls off the marriage, becoming the Jade Lord of the Capital. She reclaims her Bridal Dowry, leaving the Hayes Clan destitute; reveals herself as secret owner of restaurant chains to cut off Liam's connections; and uses her First-Rank Imperial Lady Title to uphold justice, exposing the Poor Background Social Climber, letting the malicious mother-in-law and scheming concubine reap what they have sown.
