[Forcible robbery + forced love + age difference + her running away from him + chasing his wife at the crematorium + stepson's secret love]
[Beautiful and cowardly little maid × decisive and harsh killing master]
Qining was originally the most inconspicuous third-class maid in the Hou Mansion. She lived a cautious life with a gray face every day.
Until that night, Pei Zheng, a thief who caught the son of a clandestine society, broke into her true appearance after washing away the beauty.
That night, she was carried into the Marquis's bedroom.
The Marquis of Zhennan, who was well-known in both the government and the public, had been widowed for many years and was decisive in killing. Everyone in the house was afraid of his power and reputation for harshness.
He doesn't understand pity, he only wants possession.
He forced her to come the first time, and afterwards he personally fed bowls of child-avoiding medicine to her mouth.
Late at night, the low murmur in her ears became a lingering nightmare for her day and night.
She was afraid of him, to the core of her being, and just wanted to run away.
He ran away again and again, only to be caught again and again.
The thumb-thick whip was about to fall on her every time, but it was always raised high and fell gently.
She cried so much that she was shaking all over. He wiped away her tears, half coaxing and half threatening: "Why are you crying? I didn't really hit you. If there is another time, I will break your legs."
She doesn't want to be tamed.
She knows that in the face of power, life is like an ant. So she ran away again, this time running cleanly, and no one could catch up with her.
She thought she was finally free.
It wasn't until two years later that evening that the curtain was lifted.
A familiar figure stood in the backlight. The man smiled slightly and said:
"It's been a long time since we lasted."
The blood all over her body coagulated.
He looked at her with a deep gaze, as if he wanted to swallow her back in.
"Qining, have you run enough?
