The Maid’s Alluring Charm, the Crown Prince’s Palace Delight

Her mother is a famous brothel madam in the capital,

and her older sister is a celebrated courtesan.

Born and raised in such a place, everyone assumes Qiao Zijin is an ambitious girl. They think she became a maid at the Duke's residence only to seduce her master and rise from the branches to become a phoenix.

But they do not know that she endures every indignity and obeys without complaint only to earn enough money to help her mother and sister leave the brothel and start respectable lives.

Yet the Second Master's favor brings her no end of trouble.

She tries every way she can to avoid him, but he always finds a way to keep her from escaping, bullying her at every turn.

She finds a poor scholar and hopes to become his lawful wife, but the Second Master catches her and drags her back, punishing her severely.

“Second Master, please, let me go!” Pinned against an ivory screen, the corners of her eyes turn red.

“If I let you go, who will let me go?” The man's kiss is possessive and domineering. He holds her close, declaring his claim: “I want to see which death wish dares to steal my woman!”
