(Both leads are each other's first and only, 1v1, doted on exclusively, transmigration, and a pursuit to win back his wife. A soft, easygoing concubine maid meets a scheming, repressed young lord.)
Chi Yao was born stunningly beautiful and lived in luxury for fourteen years, until her family was confiscated and she fell into the hands of slave traders.
Given a choice between becoming a brothel's star courtesan and a nobleman's concubine, she chose the latter.
A month after arriving in the capital, Chi Yao was bought by a noblewoman and brought into a marquis's household.
The woman wanted Chi Yao to spy for her and serve the young lord as a concubine maid, introducing him to the ways of a man and woman.
Chi Yao sensed something was off. It wasn't until the Grand Madam intervened that she learned the young lord was the son of the Dingyuan Marquis's first wife, while the noblewoman was his stepmother. The two had always been at odds, and of the two maids the noblewoman had sent him before, one had died and the other had been injured.
Just as Chi Yao was praying the young lord wouldn't choose her, a twist of fate made her his.
Once her position as his concubine maid was settled, Chi Yao carefully ingratiated herself with the young lord while secretly saving money. She also struggled to navigate her relationship with his stepmother, hoping the woman would let her leave before the young lord's principal wife arrived.
When the young lord found out, he was furious and kept her under lock and key, showering her with affection day after day. For her sake, he rejected his own cousin, then a duke's daughter, and even a marriage to a princess. He would rather give up his title than not marry her as his principal wife.
