[A sharp-minded, tenacious, optimistic transmigrated woman who loves to snark vs. a feudal, chauvinistic powerful official]
Chen Qianhui transmigrated into another world and became an inconspicuous cleaning maid in the Duke’s manor.
She worked hard to save enough money, planning to leave the manor one day and start a small business somewhere in Jiangnan.
But because she was always respectful and never caused trouble, the Old Madam took a liking to her and decided to give her to the eldest young master as a bedchamber maid.
Chen Qianhui had no desire to serve the eldest young master.
She bought her freedom, rented an ox cart, and left the manor.
Halfway there, the usually aloof and refined young master blocked her path. “Since Yunshuang doesn’t want to be my bedchamber maid, how about becoming my mistress instead?”
-
Pei Huaizhen returned from the northern frontier after distinguishing himself in battle. He was in need of someone attentive to care for him.
He remembered Yunshuang, who had worked as a maid in the Old Madam’s courtyard when he left home years ago, and was willing to grant her this opportunity.
But that lowly slave tried to run away time and again, even going so far as to drug him!
Furious, Pei Huaizhen dragged her back. “Now that Yunshuang is my concubine, she still wants to be with other men?”
With an iron hand, he crushed her spirit and taught her how to be a proper servant, how to win a man’s favor.
But in the end, he was the one who swallowed his pride and knelt on the ground, begging her to be his wife.
The lowborn woman he had once looked down on walked away without a backward glance, vanishing from his world for good…
*
At first, he saw her beauty and wanted her as his bedchamber maid.
Later, he saw how docile she was and wanted to take her as a concubine.
Finally, he fell to his knees and begged her to be his wife.

[Bonus scene]
After Chen Qianhui passed away, Pei Huaizhen raised their child alone. He never remarried or took concubines, living quietly as a widower.
One day, their young son went missing. Beside himself with worry, Pei Huaizhen sent people everywhere to search for him. At last, they found the boy outside the Princess’s residence.
The young master was spotless, with a round, full belly. He showed no sign of having been lost and instead beamed with an innocent smile. “Father, I saw Mother.”
Pei Huaizhen’s chest tightened, but he assumed the child was making things up.
After all, over the years, the great families had often sent women who resembled Chen Qianhui to curry favor with the child and ingratiate themselves with him.
Pei Huaizhen despised such behavior.
Until the day the emperor hosted a banquet for his ministers to officially celebrate finding his long-lost daughter.
Pei Huaizhen stood among the officials and bowed respectfully.
A clear, melodious voice from above told them to rise. It soothed the ear.
Pei Huaizhen’s heart jolted. Without knowing what had come over him, he looked up and met the gaze of the face that had haunted his dreams, making him ache with pain and bitterness.
The child beside him tugged at his hand. “Father, that’s her. She looks exactly like the painting.”
…
The woman he had searched for year after year, never able to find, had become a royal so high above him he could never hope to reach her.
#A wild mix of melodramatic tropes
#Lots of potential triggers, with both the heroine and hero suffering. Not suitable for readers devoted to either one.
#Please be civil and get along. No need to tell me if you drop the story.

#Don’t blame me for plot points I haven’t written.
Coming soon: “Who Said You Could Get Close to My Aunt?”
Princess Chaoyang was sent to marry into the northern tribes at sixteen. At twenty-one, after the new emperor ascended the throne and conquered the northern lands, he finally brought her home.
The young nephew everyone once despised had become the emperor, holding the lives of all beneath heaven in his hands. Chaoyang, who had once looked after him, rose along with him, receiving the exalted title of Grand Princess of the Flourishing Dynasty and a fief of a thousand households.
People said that the new emperor was cold and distant, with little affection for his family. He had killed his father, brothers, and other relatives, yet was devoted to his aunt above all others.
So when Princess Chaoyang asked permission to rekindle her romance with her childhood sweetheart, it was hardly surprising that the emperor readily agreed.
But only three months after the wedding, her husband was accused of treason. Under pressure from both the court and the public, the emperor had no choice but to execute him.
Pitying the princess for losing one husband after another and fearing she would succumb to grief, the emperor brought her into the palace to recuperate.
But Chaoyang alone knew that the golden halls and imperial bedchamber, the pearls and silks, were nothing but a cage built for her with his own hands.
On countless nights, the beast in human form pinned her down and subjected her to every kind of shameless act.
In a soft, lingering voice, he questioned her again and again: “Aunt, they were all allowed. Why not me?”
“Compared with all those dead men, who makes you feel better, Aunt?”
Note: Not related by blood. The heroine is not a virgin.
Theme: Let flowers bloom in the midst of hardship
I didn't get the pleasure of torturing men from the writing. Even Princess Taiping of the Tang Dynasty also had to marry politically. If the male protagonist continues to be a powerful official with military authority, his status will really not be able to crush and attack him. It will deprive him of the most glorious side he cares about most. Don't compromise and rape him for the sake of the child. The child is a child.
Well, according to the current plot, can these two people get along? It is impossible for anyone with even a little self-respect to forgive. I don't understand why the author wanted to design a child, like a real-life couple? This kind of helpless compromise affects both parties involved and the children. Children are far more sensitive than we expected, especially when they live under the same roof. When the child thinks that he is the witness of his mother's humiliating relationship, there are only two results: Mu Qiang, siding with the father, and also stepping on the mother's flesh and blood to despise her; sympathy for the mother, and a stiff relationship with the father. Anyway, in an abnormal relationship, it is impossible to give birth to a mentally healthy child. This world is already too harsh on women. Stop creating pain artificially and show mercy.
It turns out there is a baby [Let me be healthy] Progress bar, come on, come on♡
When did you start abusing men? It's so frustrating to watch [please please]. The heroine started out as a slave, with a blood-sucking family from her original family (her father and brother love to gamble). She has no skills or golden fingers, and no tasks or tools to travel back in time. So starting a new game, isn't it the right thing to do? The heroine's situation is indeed what the hero said. In an old society where men are superior to women, there are no human rights, no laws and fairness, she is a young single woman, and there are traps for cannibalism everywhere. Her father will sell her again at any time, and any local gangster, village official or subordinate can crush her. Not to mention ordinary women, even those from the upper class, even the daughters of emperors, could only depend on men. Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty even had his daughter buried as a sacrifice to his consort. Whether they admit it or not, the environment at that time did not leave a way out for women. If they had dignity and choice, how many people would be willing to be playthings? Wasn't Pan Jinlian forcibly assigned to Wu Dalang by Zhang Dahu? It's no wonder that the male protagonist is aloof and treats the female protagonist as nothing. The pressure of power and reality makes people have to bow their heads. Just being arrogant is of no use.
Suddenly I really want to see the heroine get so hard-core! Don't give in! Did you just admit defeat like this? Earlier, the hero's mother had her hands burned and her cousin stepped on her hands so much that they bled and she almost became crippled! Later, the male protagonist was sent to a brothel to be tortured! Later, the male protagonist was having sex, and the copywriter also said that he would give birth to a child for the male protagonist? So when the heroine becomes the eldest princess, will she take revenge? If there was no revenge on the male protagonist, I would think that the female protagonist, the Holy Mother, would still be alive! Return all the insults to her from the previous people, not only the male lead but also his mother's cousin!
The part about the boatman is pretty good, but his life is like grass and his body is spinning [Heartbroken] There are a lot of typos in this chapter.
So who is he? He couldn't be the one who was saved, right? Is he the second male lead? [Spread hands]
If I were the heroine, I would hate him so much that we would both die together.
He actually kicked someone in the chest [crying] The male protagonist is really too much [angry]
I have read three books, and I think the best one is Misran Chun Tang. It has the style of an old sadistic novel, and the torture is spot on. This book is a bit vulgar. Indeed, there are several recent stories with similar plots. A maid who is about to become a virgin is forced to become a married woman. I am tired of aesthetics. These articles are all defined as sadomasochism. To break down the word love, it is love between two people who understand each other. Chuncan's plot is to coerce the female protagonist into committing herself, while the male protagonist in Chuntang is even less humane. He almost slaughters the female protagonist's entire family. Not only does he accuse the female protagonist of being a treason, but he also pretends to be affectionate and responsible... Fortunately, the main text is be, otherwise I would really think that the Stockholm Syndrome is popular in online novels. No one is born cheap, and everyone has the same sky above them. These male protagonists use their power to bully vulnerable women. In any era, it is not worthy of boasting. Male videos are not so beautified, and there is no need to design the female protagonist to be a modern person. The ancients did not lack the spirit of resistance. Otherwise, why would there be so many stories of rebellion? It seems that the poison of the Manchu enslavement education is too deep. In addition, these crematoriums are, to put it bluntly, a compensation mentality. In reality, there are too many people who never think that they are wrong and will not change it until death. Therefore, instead of comforting the injured soul, it is better to make yourself better. I hope the author will write something else in the next book. Life is hard, so don't torture it over and over again.
