Sold Off by the Marquis's Household, the Maid Is Spoiled by a Lame Hunter

(The rating just came out, but it’ll go up!)

Xia Xiang was an honest, hardworking maid, but because she was rather pretty, the young heir of the marquis’s household set his sights on her and tried to force himself on her. She fought desperately to break free, only to be slapped, beaten with a rod, and sold off by the heir’s wife.

At death’s door, she is bought and taken home by a lame hunter. He is a good man, but his family is desperately poor: his blind and paralyzed mother, his dim-witted younger brother who is a scholar, his divorced older sister with a leech of an ex-husband, his mute younger brother, and three little children in tow.

But that’s not a big problem. She can embroider, cook delicious food, and practice medicine, and she has awakened a pocket dimension and spirit spring water. As long as the whole family pulls together, life will get better.

A few months later, the lame hunter can walk again, and she has also cured her mother-in-law and her dim-witted, mute brother-in-law.

From digging up yams and running a little street stall to opening a grand restaurant and an embroidery shop, Xia Xiang and her hunter husband work hard for several years.

But before they can take a breather, her hunter husband is conscripted into the army. When he finally returns, he has not only become a general, he has also earned her an honorific title. The heir’s wife who once had her beaten and sold has become a convicted slave, kneeling at her feet and calling her Madam.
