From Ancient Times to the Present: The Young Master’s Cool-Hearted Palace Maid

[An imaginary dynasty: a heroine determined to escape versus a cold, ruthless hero at first, who later clings to her and pursues her relentlessly]

Duan Yan was once a senior palace maid serving the emperor of the Great Qi dynasty. After being betrayed by the young apprentice she had raised for years, she died quietly in a side room of the Palace of Nurturing the Heart...

When she opened her eyes again, she had become the third wife of the Lou family, a sweet, naive woman with stunning looks and a figure to envy.

Unfortunately, the original owner had beauty but no brains...

Lou Xianyue was the youngest son of the marshal who guarded the Xia kingdom. He should have been happily enjoying himself under the protection of his older brothers, but an unexpected crisis claimed all their lives in service to their country. The old master of the Lou family was so heartbroken that he nearly died of grief.

Determined to have a great-grandchild, Old Master Lou kept Lou Xianyue under his thumb and announced that he would take three wives to carry on the family line.

Duan Yan was chosen for her beauty and lack of brains, and met her end because of that same lack of brains.

That was how Duan Yan arrived, bringing with her ten years of experience as a maid in ancient times.

But after coming to this free country, Duan Yan had no desire to be a caged canary. All she wanted was freedom...

To live beautifully on her own and roam the world!
