A groveling pursuit, exclusive devotion, no female rivalry, a happy ending, no golden finger, and a mystery surrounding the heroine's identity. A sweet, gentle, clever apprentice physician serving as a trial bride and maid x a ruthless, domineering young general, the only son of a marquis. The hero starts out by taking the heroine by force.
At ten, Qiu Yushu sold herself to pay for her father's burial and entered the Xia household as Miss Xia's personal maid. When she refused to become the young master's concubine, she earned the hatred of the Xia matriarch. At the matriarch's arrangement, Qiu Yushu was made to serve as a trial bride to Qin Wuyi, Miss Xia's fiancé and the only son of a marquis. After he took her virtue, she was driven out of the Xia household. Just as she had lost all hope, she received help from her father's younger sister in the healing arts, a wandering physician. Qiu Yushu became her apprentice and began a new life. But just as she was slowly opening her heart to it, misfortune seemed to cling to her: the demon who pursued her was sent after her, and the “young marquis” who had brought her so much pain appeared in her life once more.
