In her previous life, Su Tang was a food blogger who died young in a hospital bed. When she opened her eyes again, she had become a discarded wife in ancient times, with a two-month-old daughter in her arms. The original owner had traveled a thousand li to find her husband, only to discover he had already climbed the social ladder and married a noblewoman. With nowhere else to turn, mother and daughter went to the Yongning Marquis's residence to apply as wet nurses.
To survive, Su Tang bowed her head for an examination and endured humiliation to enter the household. Thanks to her childcare skills and talent for preparing meals, she secured a place by the young master's side. She only wanted to save money, protect her daughter, and leave the residence. She never expected that the five masters of the household would set their sights on her, one after another.
The eldest master was proper and cold-hearted, and wanted to take her as a concubine. The second master was restrained and lustful, secretly watching her and keeping her confined. The third was a libertine who at first treated her as a novel diversion. The fourth was frail and gentle, yet wanted to keep her like a caged bird. The fifth was a spoiled, feral hound who insisted that she coax him and watch him, too.
The inner residence was a web, the women pressed her at every turn, and each man harbored his own desires.
Su Tang seemed docile, but she kept a clear head. She used their influence, played the good girl, fought back, and made her escape. A man's affection was too expensive; she couldn't afford it.
In this life, she would choose no one but herself.
