The Marquis's Concubine

[Possessive love + obsessive, coercive romance + groveling pursuit + running away while pregnant]

The Beloved in His Palm

An Jun was a second-class maid serving in the chambers of the eldest young master of the Pingchang Marquis Household. All she had to do was save enough money, and she would be able to buy her freedom.

The eldest young master, Lu Yansheng, was so handsome that many maids in the household harbored secret feelings for him.

An Jun had no interest in Lu Yan. She only cared about money. But Lu Yan was too dense to take the hint and insisted on transferring her to his personal service, making countless maids in the household envious.

An Jun didn't want to make enemies, but the generous pay and benefits that came with serving the eldest young master were simply too tempting.

Even better, Lu Yan was about to come of age, which meant it was nearly time to arrange a marriage for him.

Once Lu Yan married, all the maids who had served him would be allowed to return to ordinary life as free women.

But who could have guessed that Lu Yan would have improper designs on her and want to take her as a concubine?

An Jun refused to become a concubine, so she ran away.

… …

Lu Yan was the heir of the Pingchang Marquis Household, born to a life of privilege. In just one more year, he would be able to marry a noblewoman.

But at just that moment, a lowly maid in the household caught his attention.

At first, it was no more than a passing fancy. He never expected the maid to reject him time and again.

At last, one night when he was drunk, he forced himself on her.

Lu Yan thought that if he took her as a concubine and gave her a proper title, the little maid ought to be grateful.

Who could have guessed that the little maid would say nothing and simply run away!
