Ten years ago, after her father, the Minister of Rites, doted on his concubine and neglected his wife, Ye Man left home in a fit of anger and changed her name.
Ten years later, she fled trouble with her fiancé and sought refuge with the Xiao family.
Living under another family’s roof, she was as cautious as could be, yet still endured every kind of hardship.
That all changed when Xiao Yu, the Xiao family’s eldest legitimate son, returned victorious from the battlefield, was made a prince, and moved the entire family into his princely residence.
Everything was arranged, but Ye Man and her fiancé, the two little birds sheltering under someone else’s eaves, were the only ones left behind.
After pulling strings at every level, she finally got to see Xiao Yu late at night as he was bathing.
His voice was cold and merciless from behind the screen: “He is your fiancé. Then who am I?”
...Ye Man had left home so young that she had no idea her parents had arranged a betrothal for her. Her fiancé was none other than Xiao Yu.
With no other choice, she soothed him with sweet words and deceived him with honeyed promises.
Everyone urged Xiao Yu not to lose his head. This woman was fickle and unfaithful; taking her as a chamber maid would already be more than she deserved.
Xiao Yu asked if she would be his chamber maid.
Ye Man said to wait.
Xiao Yu pressed on: then what about becoming his secondary consort?
Ye Man said to wait.
Xiao Yu asked again: then what about becoming his princess consort?
Ye Man said to wait a little longer, until her fiancé passed the imperial examinations and became the top scholar.
So Xiao Yu waited patiently for two years, and her “fiancé” really did become the top scholar.
Now they could get married, right?
Xiao Yu returned to the residence to find her, but the room was empty. A sheet of paper fluttered down onto his head.
You lecherous bastard! Go marry your three wives and four concubines! This young lady is done serving you!
The little lamb dropped her act and came clean.
The prince’s face turned livid as he tore the letter to shreds!
When she needed his help, he was a fine prince and great general; when she no longer did, he was a bastard and a lecher?
Fine. Just fine!
