[Maid in the Master's Quarters + Shared Sensations + Medicine + Infertility + Both Leads Are Virgins + One-on-One + Romantic Tension + Pretend Turns Real]
Shen Zhaoci, the legitimate daughter of a marquis's household, is falsely accused of seducing an outsider. Her stepmother plans to send her to the countryside to marry a boor.
To survive, Shen Zhaoci uses the pretense of being a maid in the master's quarters to stay at the home of her cousin, Heir Pei Lince.
Pei Lince inherited his title at nineteen and commands military forces. Yet he has kept his distance from women for years, and rumors say he is infertile.
Shen Zhaoci is only staying at the Pei residence temporarily. She just wants to leave one day.
On her way to the herb garden, she finds a cat and adopts it as a pet.
She cuddles, pets, and strokes the cat every day, kissing it too. But she doesn't know that the cat shares sensations with her cousin, the young heir.
When she strokes the cat, Pei Lince feels as if a woman is touching his pectorals. When she kisses it, he feels warmth on his lips, and his eyes turn red as desire surges through him.
When her aunt asks her to serve her cousin, she has no choice but to put on an act with him.
Later, when she plans to leave the residence and run away, the man pins her in a corner, his eyes bloodshot. "Zhaozha, you used me and now you're running off? Why not make the act real?"
