I Transmigrated into a Hapless Palace Maid, and the Young Tutor Asked, “Why Not Share a Bed?”

[One-on-one romance + unhinged leads + sweet romance + palace and household intrigue + power struggles + charged flirtation]

Jiu Ning offended a god she couldn't afford to provoke.

To stay alive,

she has to change bodies and identities every year.

Naturally, every one of those identities is a cannon-fodder role...

-

At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, she transmigrated into the body of a palace maid with the same name.

She thought she was in for another miserable year,

but to her surprise, she married Yu Zhijie, the Grand Tutor of the imperial court.

-

But only a few months later,

the new emperor accused Yu Zhijie of treason

and exiled his entire family to Lingnan,

while welcoming Jiu Ning into the palace and honoring her as queen.

-

Later, Yu Zhijie marched on the palace with an army under the banner of purging the emperor's corrupt advisers.

The emperor fell gravely ill, and Yu Zhijie gained absolute power at court.

-

He warned her, “Keep your seductive tricks to yourself. If you don't behave and do your job as queen, I can take your life at any moment.”

-

After that, whenever she saw him, she would run.

Whenever he spoke, she trembled all over, avoiding him as if he were a ferocious beast.

Yet in the dead of night, he cornered her against the wall. His rough fingertips roamed freely over her face. “Why don't you come and seduce me?”

Love is a moth flying into the flames. Love is being trapped in a cage, bowing one's head in surrender.
