Sweet at first, then heartbreaking. The heroine isn’t stupid. She’s suffering from post-traumatic stress after witnessing her parents being murdered.
Ruoruo was a maid responsible for sweeping and cleaning around the residence. Every day, she looked forward to finishing work so she could eat, drink, and have fun.
Eventually, that wish really came true. The young master of the residence said he liked her and wanted to take her as a concubine, promising she’d never have to worry about food or clothing again.
But on their wedding day, the young master was sent away to work on a dam.
She waited and waited, but he never came home.
Then, on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, she was thrown into the river.
It was the dead of winter, and the river was on the verge of freezing. She was terribly cold, but the young master still hadn’t returned.
As she lay dying, she saw her father and mother. Only then did her memories return, and she remembered that she was a princess of a fallen kingdom…
