Tang Furong was the senior maid to Prince Zhan's concubine. She'd already decided that as long as Shangguan Zhi didn't make her kill or set fires, she'd serve her for the rest of her life.
Who could have known that Shangguan Zhi would not only order her to harm the child in Concubine Song's belly, but also try to marry her off to a servant so ugly he could spoil anyone's appetite?
Tang Furong was furious. She swore to get her indenture contract back and leave for good.
She tried to seduce Xiao Shuchang, the legitimate grandson of Marquis Wu'an, hoping he'd marry her and persuade Shangguan Zhi to return her contract.
But through a twist of fate, the one she seduced turned out to be Prince Zhan.
He said, "Be my concubine, and you'll have wealth, status, fine clothes, and delicious food."
Tang Furong refused without hesitation. "This servant has no desire to climb the social ladder. I only want a few carefree days of freedom."
Tantai Zhan used love as bait and the realm as a betrothal gift, drawing Tang Furong into his snare.
Tang Furong remained firm in her resolve to leave. "This servant only wants her indenture contract back. Your Highness, don't waste your efforts on me."
Tantai Zhan sneered. He refused to believe there was a young lady in all the world he couldn't win over.
This is a battle between love and freedom: will Tantai Zhan cast away his throne for Tang Furong, and spend his life with her alone?
Or will Tang Furong give in for love and abandon her pursuit of freedom?
One man, one woman. Both leads are pure in body and heart.
It's beautiful. I haven't seen such a beautiful book in a long time. Good luck to the author.
