Master and Servant Are Not the Same

Short story, top-focused

Fu Zhou transmigrated to ancient times three years ago. He scraped by working for a wealthy household, serving as a low-level steward. Things were going fairly well, until the master of the house, an official, moved his entire family to Jiangnan. Fu Zhou was assigned to attend to the only person left behind: the eldest young master, who had to stay put because he was taking the imperial examinations next year and could not risk a long journey. And so Fu Zhou became the young master's lackey.

The eldest young master was clever, spoiled, and arrogant. He and Fu Zhou had never gotten along, and the young master often snapped at him and lost his temper. But Fu Zhou had to endure it all so he would not let down the generous sum of money Madam had given him before leaving. He just hoped the young master would pass the highest imperial examination, so he could finally walk away without looking back.

Later, he and the young master ended up stranded in the countryside and nearly missed that year's examinations. Later still, the young master finally made a name for himself. Just as Fu Zhou was packing his things, the young master stopped him and said with utmost seriousness, "I'm carrying your child."
