The Red Beauty's Tribulation: The Mad Marquis's Beloved

“You heartless little thing. Is your heart made of stone?”

The completely enraged, deranged marquis had blood-red eyes as he bit hard into her shoulder...

In the outer courtyard of the Duke of Jing's estate lived a scullery maid named "A Chou," with sallow skin, a face covered in pimples, and suspicious red rashes that never seemed to go away. She hid herself carefully every day, hoping only to endure until the day she could leave the estate, wash away the grime, and regain her freedom.

Who could have guessed that on a stormy, pitch-dark night, the heir, drugged with a potent aphrodisiac, would take her innocence in a dim woodshed?

Su Lian, a modern soul who had transmigrated, opened her eyes to find herself the "spoils" of that ridiculous night: the personal maid of Xiao Zhuo, heir to the Duke of Jing.

She knew that in the deep, treacherous world of a marquis's household, an heir's personal maid was nothing but a disposable plaything, especially once he married. She could guess what would become of her.

To survive, Su Lian, now A Chou, carefully concealed the fact that she had transmigrated while secretly recuperating and restoring the stunning beauty that the drugs had ruined. She also plotted step by step to get hold of the contract of servitude that would decide whether she lived or died.

At first, whenever Xiao Zhuo saw her "horrifying" face, he wanted to gouge his own eyes out. “I must have been blind that night! If not for the darkness...” He was disgusted by her and treated her as if she didn't exist.

Later, at some point, he grew addicted to her, lingering in her humble room night after night, captivated by the intelligence she revealed without meaning to and her astonishing cooking. The pastries she made became his only comfort when he was restless, and her calm gaze somehow soothed the violence in his heart.
