My name is Chuntao, and I am the most inconspicuous third-class maid in the British government.
When I was fourteen years old, I saved my wife Su Qinghe's life and became her personal maid. I witnessed with my own eyes her legendary life from the wife of a duke who was envied by everyone, to a resentful wife living in a house, and then to the number one imperial businessman in Dajing.
At first, the wife thought it was because of her declining lust and love, so she put down her talented figure to learn makeup and coquettishness, and even learned the art of sex to win back her husband Gu Yanci's heart. After the short-term sweetness, it was replaced by a deeper betrayal.
The desperate lady burned all her gaudy clothes, picked up "Thirty-Six Strategies", and took control of the back house step by step, making the romantic Duke fall in love with her. But just when everyone thought her hardships were over, she handed over the divorce letter and started a family from scratch with her son.
I followed my wife into the business world and learned management. Eventually, she entrusted me with an important task. I went north to open up the market and became the famous Chuntao shopkeeper who monopolized the northern silk and satin trade.
It turns out that the real skill of being a charioteer is never to keep a man's heart, but to regain the control of your own life.
