When she woke up, Ruan Tao became the lowest maid in Prince Jing's palace. The system told her: If she survives thirty days, she can go home.
She decided to keep a low profile, be low-key, transparent, and inconspicuous, and take it one day at a time.
Until she was transferred to the study to study ink for the sick prince who was rumored to not live past twenty-five. He was as pale as a piece of paper, and she was afraid that he would die on the spot if he coughed. Until that night, she accidentally saw him wiping the blood from his fingertips, his eyes as cold as a poisoned knife.
He raised her chin and spoke softly, but it sent shivers down her spine:
"What are you afraid of? I won't eat you."
Later, the whole family knew that the prince had a cowardly maid by his side. They thought she would not survive more than three days. Until Aunt Zhou was expelled from the house, Aunt Zhao knelt down and begged for mercy, and Eunuch Wei walked around her. Everyone finally came to their senses: How did that coward survive to this day?
Only Wei Jing knew that this timid-looking woman had never shed a single tear in a life-or-death situation. It's not that she's not afraid. She was trembling with fear, but she still dared to negotiate terms with him.
"I have only been manipulated by one person in my life."
"That's you."
