[A Spirited Young General, Secretly Obsessive and Unhinged, VS. A Timid but Cunning Maid + Trial Marriage + Taking by Force + A Long Road to Winning Her Back + Mild Angst Early On + No Transmigration or Rebirth]
Luyuan was once the personal maid of the Grand Princess. But after the emperor arranged a marriage for the princess, Luyuan was forced to undergo a trial marriage in her place.
That meant the maid had to live with the princess's prospective husband for a while, so the princess could determine whether anything was wrong with him before deciding whether to marry him.
This included sharing his bed.
And Luyuan was the maid the princess had chosen for the trial marriage.
So on the surface, she was a maid bestowed by the Grand Princess to serve Xiao Jue. But at night, he tormented her until she wished she were dead.
Afterward, she had to report every detail of what had happened between them to the Grand Princess.

So, to stay alive, she chose to attach herself to someone else.
But just as she was about to leave the general's residence, Xiao Jue pinned her firmly in a corner. "Yuan'er, I told you: you will never escape my grasp in this lifetime!"
