Alternate-history Republican era | Older, guiding love interest | Intense romantic tension | Sweet, satisfying romance | Forbidden master-servant dynamic
Lin Wanwan spent the whole night grinding through the hidden ending of the Republican-era romance game Flames of the Unfinished Night. Before she closed her eyes, she was still screenshotting the bonus scene: “In the twenty-fifth year of the Republic, the Gu Mansion is hiring a new maid. A Tai applies and is hired.”
When she opened her eyes again, she was the lowest-ranking maid in the Gu Mansion.
And the man whose steamy CGs she had replayed fifty times, the warlord’s young marshal Gu Huaijin, was standing right in front of her. He was a hundred times more handsome in person than in his character art. His waist, his legs… She could draw the mole just below his lower back with her eyes closed.
Lin Wanwan watched his Adam’s apple bob and gripped the rag in her hand.
She wanted to sleep with him. She wanted it so badly she was going crazy.
