[The male lead takes her by force, but he's the one who can't escape]
Qin Zhao transmigrates into the body of a personal maid serving Pei Yanqi, heir to the Duke of Jing's estate.
Faced with a feudal dynasty and an obsessive man, she struggles to escape time and again.
Then, after yet another failed attempt to flee,
Qin Zhao looks at the furious man before her, his eyes blazing with rage, and says coldly, "Young Master Pei is so deeply devoted to a lowly slave like me. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you if word gets out?"
Hearing his own past insults thrown back at him in mockery, Pei Yanqi's expression stiffens.
Qin Zhao feels a surge of satisfaction. She'd be delighted if he got so angry he died, leaving her free to live as she pleased.
Pei Yanqi laughs in fury and grits his teeth. "Don't think making me angry will get you off the hook."
When Qin Zhao remains unmoved, he continues to threaten her. "Apologize now, and you may suffer a little less once we get back to the estate!"
"..."
In the end, Pei Yanqi reins in his anger and coaxes her softly. "Zhaozhao, be good and come back with me."
