In her previous life, she was a clever, ambitious maid beloved by the heir. She dreamed of rising above her station and becoming a phoenix, but she made too many enemies. Before she could transform, she lost her life.
Reborn, she saw through love, fame, fortune, and power, and resolved to be a humble little maid, serve out her time, and leave the household. But then the frail, eccentric Third Master decided to take her as his concubine.
Terrified, she backed away again and again. “Third Master, I’m lowborn and untalented. I’m not worthy of you.”
He shamelessly pressed closer. “Perfect. I’m frail and weak, and no good at either letters or martial arts. We’re a perfect match!”
She could only grab her indenture and run. “Take care, Third Master. I’m going to get married!”
Who knew that the “young master Wu” who lifted her veil would be him? “Who are you going to marry? Me?”
She had no choice but to say, “Third Master, in this life I’ll only be a proper wife. I’ll never be anyone’s concubine.”
He lowered his head and fell silent for a moment. “Then… I’ll think of something.”
(The heroine is an ordinary person, very much a commoner. If you prefer strong female leads, this may not be for you.)
I hope the author will update it soon. It's hard to find a well-written novel on Tomato.
