A Chambermaid's Rise to Favor: Step by Step, She Becomes the Mistress of the House

Lu Xuyan, eldest son of the Duke of Rong's household and a native of the capital, passed the imperial exams at twenty and took first place in all three stages.

He entered the palace as Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and became a third-rank Chancellor at just twenty-five.

In the prime of his life, he received countless marriage proposals from the capital's finest families. Yet he always replied, “My wife keeps a tight rein on me. I thank you all for your kind intentions.”

Everyone wanted to know what sort of person the eldest son of the Lu family treasured above all else, but no one could find out.

Then one day, as the Lu family's carriage passed down the main street, the wind lifted the curtain. The eldest son of the Lu family held someone close in his arms, and all anyone could see was a pair of wrists, pale as jade and slender as spring onions.
