Chu Xinyi got into a fight with someone in the hospital cafeteria, then accidentally fell to her death and transmigrated into a historical novel about imperial power, written for a male audience.
She became a minor character who barely appeared in the book, a disposable cannon-fodder character destined to die young.
In her original life, she was the daughter of an official.
When her family was ruined, she became a government slave. Her former best friend framed her, causing her to fall, hit her head, and die.
The day Chu Xinyi transmigrated, the Duke of Guo’s household bought her.
Huo Xuan, the general of the dynasty, vowed that he would never marry or take concubines until he had avenged his father.
His mother, Commandery Princess Qingyan, fretted that her grandson might never come, and took a liking to Xinyi’s beauty.
She decided she had to foist a bedchamber maid on her son, no matter what.
If her son wouldn’t marry, there was nothing she could do about that, but she had to get a grandchild first to carry on the family line.
Xinyi had gone from being a modern-day medical master’s student to a maid in the Duke of Guo’s household.
What could she do?
Run away? Without travel papers or an identity, she couldn’t get anywhere.
Save money and buy her freedom?
In a great household, servants were either sold off or beaten to death.
Remembering that in the original book, Huo Xuan was one of the heroines’ unattainable crushes and was fated to die young, Xinyi decided to take a chance.
She’d better hurry up and have a child. Once her husband was dead, at least she could lie flat and rely on the kid.
For the sake of survival, and the good life that awaited her, Xinyi was sent to Huo Xuan’s room!
But Huo Xuan recognized her as the daughter of a former colleague and couldn’t accept it, so he called off the operation before it even began.
He ran away!
Xinyi was at a loss for words. She’d nearly taken her pants off, and this was what she got?
Chu Yuan, an important supporting character in the original novel, was Xinyi’s disgraced official father.
A man with plenty of secrets.
In hopes of spending more time with his daughter, he inadvertently brought Huo Xuan and Xinyi together.
