Cui Mengjiao had been with her boyfriend for seven years and married for one. Their newlywed life should have been blissful, but a medical report diagnosing infertility exposed the truth about their marriage.
Her husband and in-laws refused to get tested or seek treatment, insisting only on divorce. Cui Mengjiao stared at her husband's face, once so full of sweet promises, and slapped him hard. Then, by accident, she transmigrated into the body of a marquis's maid who was about to be executed.
To save her life, she got a second chance.
Cui Mengjiao had no choice but to agree to Shen Yi's demands.
But she accidentally discovered the truth behind this marquis's “physical and emotional fastidiousness.”
His principal wife has an old flame, his widowed mother is strict and set in her ways, and unseen enemies are constantly undermining him.
Shen Yi has to tread carefully at every turn, always watching his step.
He thought he would simply spend the rest of his life this way.
Then he happened to meet this seemingly delicate maid, who would do absolutely anything to stay alive.
“Are you really willing to spend your whole life as a concubine, without ever winning my heart?”
“I am, as long as you let me leave the manor once you've achieved your goal.”
A strange look flickered in Shen Yi's eyes, his expression unreadable. Then he ran into Cui Mengjiao on the street, laughing and chatting happily with a man, her smile bright and radiant.
He regretted it.
“Would you be willing to become my principal wife?”
“That depends on how you behave!”
