The maid Yun Hua doesn't want to be assigned to the notorious lame servant in the household, so she follows others' example and sneaks into the young master's bed. By a twist of fate, she ends up in the bed of the Marquis's second son, known throughout the city as the Cold-Faced Yama.
Nanny Zhang tells her that Second Master Chen Chuhuai belongs to Princess Junyang, someone she can't afford to offend.
So Yun Hua keeps to her place and doesn't dare entertain a single improper thought. But this aloof, formidable second master just won't leave her alone.
To save her own skin, she plays dumb and pretends not to understand, waiting only until she has saved enough money to leave the household and part ways with Chen Chuhuai.
But when the day finally comes and she tries to run, Second Master catches her red-handed.
He smashes her money jar. “You don't want to be the marquis's wife, you don't want a grand bridal procession, and you expect to get by on these few coins?”
“???”
He didn't smash a jar. He smashed her lifeline!
The second master is fierce towards the female lead; he might enjoy mistreating his wife for a while, but be careful, he'll face a nightmare of trying to win her back.
I really enjoy this book and eagerly await each update. I hope the author can set a more consistent update schedule. I'm also really looking forward to seeing the relationship between Second Master and Yunhua; there's been so much conflict between them!
