[A quick-learning, fiercely competitive maid x a powerful, beautiful, and formidable head of household]
[Both are each other's first and only, equally matched, dark take on the original male lead]
Qin Lanxun transmigrates into a book.
She becomes the groveling lapdog of the male lead in an angsty romance. She breaks with her family for him and willingly infiltrates the villain's household to steal information for him.
She dies on her very first day stealing information.
When Qin Lanxun wakes up, she hears a System calling itself 001 urging her to slack off and lie low to stay alive.
[Get away from the villain right now, leave the room, and find somewhere safe to hide!]
Keep her head down? She can't do that! With a life this cheap, she might as well go all out!
She's got plenty of rebellious spirit!
She walks straight up to the villain, drops to one knee, and says solemnly, "Hello, boss. Actually, I'm here to apply for the maid position."
The villain, his cheeks flushed from some unknown drug, feels a chill run down his spine.
A maid? What on earth?
To prove her sincerity, Qin Lanxun heroically saves the beauty and lands herself a well-paid job as a maid.
On her first day, she gets up at five in the morning to memorize medical textbooks.
On her second day, she takes over all her coworkers' duties and even does tai chi.
On her third day, the boss forbids her from taking on extra work, so she grabs her notebook and sneaks off to learn gardening.
On her fourth day, she secretly learns to cook in the kitchen, and the boss praises her food.
001 has talked itself hoarse and gives up trying: [If you're not going to slack off, then I will!]
One day, when the maid resigns and prepares to travel the world, there's a click. Her cold, scheming, arrogant, and impossibly cool boss handcuffs them together.
His voice is as plaintive as that of an abandoned husband: [Where are you going? You can't leave without taking me with you!]
