A Little Maid with a Spiritual Spring in Her Space

Ning Xue, the eldest daughter of the Ning family, was a breathtaking beauty at just fifteen. Her parents had arranged her engagement to Jiang Chen, heir to the Marquis of Yong’an, when she was still very young. Just as Ning Xue was looking forward to a happy future, a sudden embezzlement scandal completely changed her fate.

The Ning family was stripped of its possessions, and Ning Xue was sent to the Imperial Music Bureau, where she fell into the lowly status of a government courtesan. What she never could have imagined was that her very first client would be her fiancé, Jiang Chen, whom she had never met.

Captivated by Ning Xue’s beauty, Jiang Chen ransomed her from the bureau. But rather than gaining a new lease on life, she became his fourth personal maid.

The vast gulf in their status left Ning Xue enduring one indignity after another in the marquis’s household. Jiang Chen treated her like a plaything; her future mother-in-law, once so kind to her, now beat and cursed her at every turn; and her closest friend from her maiden days, now the marquis’s principal wife, wantonly humiliated and tormented her.

Driven to the brink, Ning Xue unexpectedly awakened the ancestral jade pendant around her neck and discovered a pocket dimension with a spirit spring. Thus began her story of turning her life around.
