Lin Hong, a top-tier corporate workhorse, dies after suffering heart palpitations from staying up late for too long, and transmigrates to a parallel world.
She ends up in the body of a tea-serving maid to the Old Madam of the Marquis of Weiping's household.
She plans to save enough money to buy her freedom. With a few useful skills under her belt, she figures she can make a decent living once she leaves the estate.
But during the Marquis's family reunion at the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Old Madam takes pity on Gu Ran, Marquis of Weiping, whose mourning period has delayed his marriage. She gives him Lin Hong and Muxue, another tea-serving maid, as bedchamber attendants.
Lin Hong feels as if she's been struck by lightning, left utterly stunned.
She expects the man sitting in such a high position to refuse. Instead, beneath the lamplight, he sets down his teacup and calmly thanks the Old Madam for her gift.
Lin Hong knows she's done for.
Gu Ran hadn't wanted to agree to his grandmother's suggestion. But at a glance, he saw that one of the two women looked unable to hide her delight, while the other wore an expression of disbelief. His heart twisted as if a cat were clawing at it.
What, was he, the mighty Marquis of Weiping, so low that even a maid could look down on him?
Later, when Gu Ran's love goes unreturned and his heart aches unbearably, he looks back on his arrogance that day and regrets ever picking a fight with her.
When life goes too smoothly, Heaven soon arranges a fitting punishment.
Message: Love yourself before loving someone else, and consult your heart before choosing a partner.
Oh my god, he's so perverted
The heroine is poorly created.
No wonder I don't have it in my collection. I wrote about patterns and routines from many years ago.
She has poisoned you and you still feel sorry for her. How about you feel sorry for yourself first [Joker]
No, the heroine is too arrogant. The other person poisoned you but you were lucky enough not to die. You still pity the other person.
Is it reasonable? Anyone can look down on a princess? Can a concubine really eat with royal family members? No matter how powerful the male protagonist is, it doesn't matter in front of the imperial power. This bug really makes people look funny.
This plot is very old, and the male and female protagonists are also very realistic
Because the male protagonist is so perverted, I just [laugh and cry]
It is recommended to leave a blank line after each paragraph in the copywriting and main text, otherwise it will feel very cramped 🐶
So "Why is she unwilling to go with..." This is a big bug for the author~
