Life had become impossible.
Bai Yuwei was forced to marry a wealthy man in his sixties, becoming his ninth concubine.
She had thought the difference between a wealthy household and the common world was like the distance between heaven and earth.
Who knew that after stepping through its gates, she would find life just as impossible?
Every day, Bai Yuwei felt half-dead. She had to placate the masters and mistresses of the household while figuring out how to make ends meet.
One of her few pleasures was watching stray cats and mice scurry in and out of the dog hole beneath the back courtyard wall.
Until one day, a lame beggar crawled through it.
