The Heiress and the Horse Slave

When Zhao Tangyue's family was destroyed and she nearly got sold to a brothel, it was her family's stable hand who helped her escape.

The man was quiet and reserved, yet made her feel completely safe.

Together, they went from fleeing to exile, eventually settling down in the northern frontier.

Zhao Tangyue gradually grew from a pampered young lady into someone who knew how to survive adversity.

The people around her were always there to shield her from the storm, never leaving her side.

In the year she turned seventeen, Zhao Tangyue worked up the courage to ask him to build a home with her.

But to her surprise, he turned her down.

"You're the moon in the sky, my lady. I'm just mud beneath your feet. I'm not worthy."

Zhao Tangyue froze for a moment.

"Fine... then put down my panties before you say that."
