Forced possession | The groveling ex wins her back
[Bright and resilient maidservant x scheming, calculating marquis]
*
Wen Mian transmigrates into the body of a kitchen maid in the back courtyard of a wealthy Yangzhou merchant's estate.
Because of her striking looks, she is promoted to a maidservant and sent to the Changping Marquis's estate alongside the beautiful women trained to be concubines.
The Changping Marquis is about to marry. Wen Mian knows that once the new wife arrives, her own circumstances and those of the trained beauties will take a sharp turn for the worse.
Her best option is to flee. She works hard to earn enough to buy back her freedom, only to discover that her contract has already been transferred to the Changping Marquis's estate.
To leave as soon as possible, Wen Mian tries to curry favor with the estate's steward, but repeatedly runs into He Xun, the Changping Marquis, who is rumored to be a fearsome fiend.
After that, the steward becomes increasingly respectful and grants her every request. Wen Mian thinks she'll soon be able to leave, but one day she overhears He Xun calling her name in his sleep.
Before she can react, one of the trained beauties personally delivers her to He Xun's bed with a cup of wine.
The man before her strokes her smooth, pale cheek and murmurs, "This marquis still needs a maidservant to warm his bed."
Wen Mian scoffs. "You pride yourself on being upright and proper, yet you force women? I won't be a concubine."
He Xun sneers. "A bed maid, that's all. What makes you think you're worthy of being a concubine?"

He Xun, the Changping Marquis, is handsome and elegant, peerless in his beauty, born to generations of nobility and renowned far and wide.
One night, while strolling in the garden, he catches a delicate fragrance. A woman stands amid the hazy mist, her face lovely as a lotus, her complexion pure and radiant.
At first, He Xun simply finds Wen Mian's refined elegance pleasing. Later, he appreciates her gentle nature and attentive service, and decides that having another beauty by his side to keep him company would be a pleasant thing.
So, despite the pressure of his future legitimate wife not yet having arrived, he tries to take Wen Mian as his bed maid, only to be rejected.
He Xun laughs in anger. A girl who started out as a kitchen maid should consider it an honor just to serve as a bed maid.
