Synopsis

[Cold and Devoted Hero + Clear-Headed, Independent Heroine] [Let the Story Set the Mood] [Sweet Romance]

Su Qingqing transmigrates as a bedchamber maid, but when the eldest young master returns after four years away, her plan to keep out of each other’s way falls apart. The young master has become the chancellor, and she sees his ruthless, vicious, and merciless side. To save her own life, she fawns over him, hoping to survive until her one-year contract expires and she can leave the Pei residence.

When the hero, Pei Jingzhi, comes home, he finds that the timid little bedchamber maid he once knew has completely changed. Now he can’t stop his gaze from following her.

Just as Su Qingqing discovers she’s pregnant, the man is about to take a wife, and she is about to be promoted to concubine.

As a woman who transmigrated, how could she agree to be anyone’s concubine? On the eve of the hero’s wedding, she bundles up his money and runs away. Since she’s carrying his child, she figures the silver she stole can count as child support.

When she flees again, she tricks the hero into passing out in bed. A few months later, he sees the heroine, very pregnant. When she thinks she might lose the baby, the man treats her like his most precious treasure.

The hero thinks that now they have a child, the woman will become his concubine. Instead, she leaves the child with him and fakes her death, leaving him so heartbroken that he falls to his knees and weeps in front of his subordinates.

Four years later, when they meet again, the wretched woman has come to steal their child. “Su Qingqing, you’ve gone too far!”

Only later does the hero learn that the heroine has become a wealthy businesswoman. No wonder she had the nerve to steal his daughter.

The stories about everyday life, though not earth-shattering, are quite enjoyable to listen to. I didn't realize it was this author until the very last chapter; no wonder it resonated with me so much! I've read all her works and love them!

The plot is so good and exciting! I can't wait to see the female lead have a baby, escape, and grow into a powerful figure. I want to see the "wife-chasing-after-the-inferiority" part too! Yay!

It's really good! The male protagonist is quite good; at least he's not like most ancient characters who are overly macho or anything like that.

Five-star rating! The rich second-generation heroine transmigrates into a maid and encounters a cold and devoted male lead. How can she be a heroine if she doesn't run away? So she runs away again and again.

Good, please update soon! This is what a normal modern person is like: yearning for freedom and having a clear mind.

This kind of story is better suited to short stories. Otherwise, it's just a constant cycle of running away, the male lead catching the female lead, the female lead feigning death, then being discovered by the male lead again, and then the female lead refusing to become the male lead's concubine, leading to endless breakups and reconciliations.

This is a really good novel. The female protagonist is vividly and lively, with a strong personality and a tenacious spirit. It's also an educational novel. It's quite good, thank you! Thumbs up!

It's really good! It's just that the female lead lacks a certain space! Keep it up, baby!

It's quite good, but a bit illogical. The female lead doesn't clarify things, gets entangled, and is too proud to admit it, which is self-defeating. She needs to be clear so the other person understands her thoughts and communicates effectively. If he's not the right person for you, you should leave decisively without regret.
