The Rightful Bride

To avenge her mother and her maternal family's wrongful demise, the heroine lies low in Lowell Manor for years, enduring the torment of Miss Lowell, Isabelle Lowell. She ultimately takes Isabelle's place using the 'Plum for the Peach' stratagem, marrying into the immensely powerful Shaw family to leverage their influence for her revenge against the Lowell family. The core conflict between the heroine and the Lowell family (led by Cameron Lowell) is a deep-seated blood feud. The Lowell family attempts to expose the heroine's identity and cover up their past crimes, while she secretly plots her counterattack. The Lowell family finally meets its downfall when Cameron Lowell's accusations backfire, as the head of the Shaw family, Elliot Shaw, presents incriminating evidence, and Isabelle Lowell's illicit affair is exposed. With his power and pre-collected evidence, Elliot Shaw becomes a key ally on the heroine's path to vengeance.
