Jiang Xuening, a top-tier heartbreaker who spent years navigating the cutthroat world of modern business, transmigrates and finds herself a lowly maid in the Marquis's Manor's Tingxue Courtyard, about to be sold off.
The original owner of her body broke the heir's jade cup, worth twenty taels, and was doomed. But Jiang Xuening immediately sees the trick in the accounts. With her silver tongue and half a shard of broken porcelain, she manages to pry a way out of the predicament from the stewardess!
The Marquis's Manor is full of hidden dangers, with every household scheming against the others. To protect herself, she sets her sights on Lu Heng, the cold-faced heir with the power of life and death. Poisoned tea, assassination attempts, tests with incense, swapped medicinal meals, malicious rumors... Faced with attacks from every side, she plans each move carefully, wielding the rules like a blade and reading people's hearts. Not only does she survive, she becomes the heir's most capable personal attendant.
"Heir, this maid doesn't handle affairs. She only looks after her own life." Kneeling at the foot of the steps, she lays out the calculations of self-interest in the clearest terms.
Lu Heng watches the maid who dares to scheme right under his nose with a cold gaze. He means to kill her, but when he sees her concealing the bloodstained handkerchief in her sleeve to preserve his dignity, he holds back.
A lowly maid who plans every step and refuses to bow her head.
A cold, powerful heir who wields influence over the court and bears an old, hidden illness.
She only meant to use his influence to stay alive, but instead she is swept into a shocking bloodbath from ten years ago...
