Spoiler:
Little Finger is a plotter but he didn't do all of that. Background: He was raised as a ward of Kat's father the lord of Riverrun, Warden of the Riverlands, where he falls madly in love with Kat. Kat however only thinks of him as her little brother and isn't interested. Once, just before Robert's Rebellion, LF is getting drunk depressed that Kat has rejected him and that's when Lissa seduces him, sadly, he drunkenly calls Lissa her sister Kat's name while climaxing thus making Lissa insanely jealous and envious of her older sister (who she was always jealous of anyway). When their dad finds out he banishes LF and forced Lissa to abort the pregnancy by drinking a tea (we learn this when Lord Hoster Tully is dying and rambling on deliriously). This is right when Robert's Rebellion is starting and right after Brandon Stark (Ned's older brother and rightful heir to the North) & Ned's father had just been tortured and killed by the mad king. The two Starks had gone to King's Landing to retrieve Ned's sister Lianna who had either been abducted or ran off with Prince Raegar but rather than giving them back Lianna the mad king kills them.
Thus Kat is married off to Ned the younger son but now heir to the north while Lissa gets married off to John Ayran who is much older (Ned's dad's age) but without an heir because his previous wife was barren but recently died. John Aryan knew Lissa had an affair but took her anyway as he needed an alliance with the Tullys and Hoster was offering him a wife with proven breading ability. Fast forward 16 years and Lissa is still in love with LF, LF is not in love with her but is willing to fake it, LF gets Lissa to poison her husband who is now hand of the king, and thinks this will finally open the way up to marrying LF who she has always been in love with. LF also gets Lissa to not help the Starks during the war of the five kings and has Lissa write a letter blaming the Lannisters for John Aryan's death. When Joffery tries to kill Ned's son Brandon LF uses that event to further set the Starks and the Lannisters against each other. Further more LF hates the Starks because they got the only girl he's ever loved but also because Ned's brother Brandon beat LF in a duel and left him with a scar from his belly button to his neck (which is why LF always wears clothes which cover him all the way up to the neck.
You have to remember that LF isn't the only plotter in King's Landing as both Varys and Grand Maester Pyselle are also plotting stuff not to mention the various great houses and people like Cersei (though Cersei isn't very artful about it).
