Man'er has a face as beautiful as an immortal's, yet she's the most dutiful maid in the Cui household. She keeps to the kitchen, honing her cooking skills, all to save enough money to buy her freedom and go home.
But just as the Cui family's second young master reaches the age to choose a bedchamber maid, Man'er naively assumes she's merely been brought along by the Fourth Young Lady to watch the excitement at the old madam's courtyard. Little does she know that the second young master, as elegant as jade and bamboo, will gently raise his long, slender fingers and point to the person standing in the corner with her eyes lowered.
"I'll take her."
Man'er: ??? Me?
The Cui family's second young master is exceptionally graceful, with clear, open features. To outsiders, he's as aloof and pure-hearted as a jade tree on a mountaintop. But at night, his words turn teasing and shameless...
She goes to great lengths to buy her freedom and leave the Cui household, only to be kept at his side by the man who comes after her, barely containing his anger.
Cui Xuan: "Trying to run? Don't even think about it!"
