The Concubine Escapes

Wen Ruolan transmigrates to an ancient feudal dynasty, where she becomes a maid whose job is to comb the old madam's hair.

A daughter of a top-tier financial tycoon, she is forced to spend every day serving people with her head bowed, and it makes her miserable.

Later, the old madam takes a fancy to her looks and promises to grant her free status if she agrees to serve the eldest young master of the household.

Her most important duty each day is to lie on the young master's bed half an hour in advance and warm up the covers for him.

The eldest young master is the Governor-General of Liangguang, handsome and distinguished, with great power and influence.

But every night, he is unusually fierce, leaving her unable to bear it.

Wen Ruolan grits her teeth and endures it, sacrificing her chastity as she waits for her contract to end six months later so she can leave this den of wolves and tigers.

Six months later, on the day she is supposed to leave, the eldest young master, who promised to let her go, suddenly changes his mind.

The old madam says to her with a smile:

"Nongzheng, you're in luck. The master has bestowed a great blessing on you. From now on, you'll stay here as his concubine. Now get down on your knees and thank him!"

Wen Ruolan's vision goes black, and she faints.

Wen Ruolan tries to escape three times, but every time she is caught and brought back.

The man matches wits with her, deliberately playing a game of cat and mouse.

In this ancient dynasty, he has a natural advantage. He can cover the sky with one hand and turn the world upside down.

The last time, Wen Ruolan resolutely jumps off a cliff. She lies unconscious for three days and three nights, but is ultimately rescued.

As soon as she opens her eyes, the man lifts her chin with a cold flick of his folding fan. "Am I so unworthy that you'd rather die than be with me?"

Wen Ruolan grew up under the red flag, received a higher education, breathed freer air, and saw a wider world.

Become a concubine? "I can't accept that."

Xie Lang holds immense power at court, but has eyes only for a little maid. She refuses to be with him no matter what, leaving him ridiculed by his colleagues and heartbroken by love.

He originally intended to give up, but lovesickness has sunk into his bones. Like an incurable disease, it grips his innards and leaves him restless day after day, tormented by love.

Fine, fine, fine.

He'll have no one but her for the rest of his life.

If she won't be a concubine, would she be his legal wife?

She's just a maid, after all, like a leaf he could pluck with a casual reach. If that doesn't work, he'll just have to take her by force.
