The Maid Leaped into the Flames, and the Brutal Prince Went Mad with Regret!

Li Qinghuan had been the Prince Regent Li Xingchuan’s bedchamber maid for three years.

For all three years, she had done her duty and never once overstepped her bounds.

She had set three rules for herself.

The first rule for a bedchamber maid:

Never act alluring or seduce the Prince Regent into neglecting his duties.

After attending to Li Xingchuan, she never stayed a moment longer, no matter how much her whole body hurt.

The second rule for a bedchamber maid:

Never leave trouble for the future mistress of the household.

Though Li Qinghuan was terrified of bitter medicine, she never missed a single bowl of the thick, sour, bitter contraceptive decoction.

The third rule for a bedchamber maid:

Never abuse the prince’s favor to bully others, and always remember her place.

She was the only woman in Li Xingchuan’s bed before he married, yet she never used that to ask for special treatment.

All her humility and caution came crashing down after the Prince Regent welcomed his principal wife into the household.

She hid her sharp edges, obeyed without complaint, and served him with all her heart.

All for Li Xingchuan’s satisfaction.

But after the princess consort entered the household,

Li Qinghuan finally understood.

Li Xingchuan would never be satisfied with her.

Simply because she was Li Qinghuan, the bedchamber maid.

She understood at last.

And she was tired of pretending.

She arranged a fire and perished in the flames, faking her death to escape.

But she was dead.

And Li Xingchuan went mad...
