The Lucky Palace Maid: The Prince’s Beloved

My name is Shen Zhiyi. I was a modern-day office worker, but when I opened my eyes, I had crossed into the Great Yin dynasty and become the lowest-ranking maid in the palace. I lived in a leaky woodshed, sweeping floors and scrubbing bricks every day, with a life as worthless as a blade of grass.

Lowly born and constantly bullied, I could be punished for the slightest mistake. Palace rules were strict, and whether I lived or died depended on my masters' whims.

Then I unexpectedly gained a golden finger: I was born under a lucky star, able to turn danger into safety and escape disaster time and again.

I can avoid misfortune and attract good luck. Bad things never seem to catch up with me. Even when a noble loses their temper, a thunderstorm can interrupt them.

While everyone else treads carefully at every turn, I always come through a crisis unscathed. I grow flowers and raise chickens, brew wine and pickle vegetables, and enjoy a life full of simple pleasures.

Prince Xie Zhao is cold and restrained, yet he makes exceptions for me: offering me an umbrella, saving me food, and shielding me from trouble. In a plum grove, he takes my hand. “Will you leave the palace with me?”

From then on, we choose each other. He keeps me safe, and I warm his lonely heart. We grow crops, brew wine, and stand together against our enemies as our feelings take root.

When war breaks out on the frontier, I follow the army to save my husband, form a Red Scarf brigade, and earn a reputation as a goddess. Amid courtly intrigues, I expose a poison plot and turn the tide.

From palace maid to princess consort, from alone to surrounded by family. Love at first sight and love that grows with time become a tale for the ages.

In this life, I have no golden finger, only a true heart to keep by my side. But with my lucky star beside me, anything is possible.
