[Honest, beautiful widow x domineering, patriarchal prince; coercive possession; female lead is not a virgin, male lead is]
Ningxiang's husband died, leaving behind a hungry baby and his gentle, honest wife.
To feed her little one, she went to the capital to work as a wet nurse.
"Though this woman is a widow, she is proper in appearance and character, with a full figure and plenty of milk. She has no family burdens to tie her down and can devote herself wholly to serving her master."
The matchmaker's silver tongue landed her a place in the most illustrious residence in the capital, Prince Zhao's manor.
The manor paid well, and the work was easy.
All she had to do was express a bowl of milk each morning and evening. A servant would deliver it to the young master.
For over a month after entering the manor, Ningxiang never saw the young master she was supposed to nurse.
Why didn't the young master need a wet nurse? The manor was full of servants; perhaps someone had been assigned to care for him.
Until one day, she was led into a deep, opulent bedroom.
A slender, long-fingered hand reached out from behind the bed curtains, seized her wrist, and dragged her into the depths of the bedchamber.
It turned out the one who needed milk wasn't some young master at all.
It was Prince Zhao himself, the God of Death renowned for his bloodshed, who had gone to defend the border on the emperor's behalf at the age of sixteen, but now lay gravely ill in bed.
