[Dark, obsessive maid x cold, stoic heir who endures humiliation]
Qingping, a maid who tends the fire, has three things in her daily routine:
Chop wood and tend the fire, save up medicinal herbs for her mother, and spy on the young master.
Then one day, she finds Pei Yanqing in the snow.
Injured, unconscious, and completely defenseless.
She gazes at his refined features, then secretly drags him into the woodshed.
From then on, her daily routine becomes this:
Dragging the moon from the sky into the mud, and indulging in every kind of pleasure.
She enjoys the fleeting delight, the indulgence, the excess.
She thinks she's taming a dog.
Later, she discovers that dogs can make their owners cry, too.
Pei Yanqing, heir to the Marquis's household.
Like snow on a distant mountain, lofty, cold, and noble.
The unreachable flower on a high peak, admired by every noblewoman in the capital.
Pei Yanqing never imagined he'd fall into the hands of a lowly maid.
His hands bound, his throat held.
A bird in a cage, with no way to escape.
He hates her to the bone, yet every day in the darkness, he waits to hear her open the door.
Later, once he's free, his first act isn't to kill her. Instead, he corners her against a wall and demands in a hoarse voice:
"Was I not good enough at serving you?"
"Otherwise, how could you just decide you didn't want me anymore?"

[Audacious, spoiled younger sister x rigid, intensely overprotective older brother]
Song Yingxue was born to a poor family. Her father is a low-ranking official, her mother a virtuous woman, and the whole family is crammed into a small courtyard house in the capital.
That doesn't stop her from envying and resenting the Princess Royal every day. The princess goes out surrounded by attendants, eats thirty-two-course meals, and has a consort on one side and male favorites on the other. Her life is a riot of luxury, depravity, and endless nights of passion.
She ought not to covet such a life, but Heaven happened to give her a wonderful older brother.
Her brother, Song Hansheng, is the newly appointed top scholar of the current dynasty, and the former dynasty's crown prince, whose kingdom fell.
Song Yingxue isn't afraid of her whole family being executed for treason. All she wants is to become a princess royal.
Every day, she interrogates her brother three times: "Brother, are you going to rebel today or not?"
Her brother isn't in a hurry, but she is.
Song Yingxue watches him dismiss the vast realm before them and is heartbroken.
When the Princess Royal offers sixteen top-tier male favorites in exchange for one night with her brother, Song Yingxue's eyes light up.
In the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, she delivers her drugged brother to the princess's bed.
Song Yingxue: Brother, you'll thank me when you wake up!!!
Song Hansheng: Song Jiaojiao, you're asking for it!!! (through gritted teeth)
Later, in the Hibiscus Hall, it is only natural for an older brother to discipline his younger sister.
Tears streaming, temples damp with sweat, flowers in full bloom.
Her beautiful eyes unfocused, she looks at her most rigid older brother and says in a hoarse voice, "Brother, I promise I'll never do it again!"
Song Hansheng was precocious from a young age, but he has no plans to restore the old dynasty.
He loves the Song family and his younger sister, and wants nothing more than a peaceful life.
His younger sister is vain, materialistic, competitive, and extravagant, but she's also sweet-tongued, soft-hearted, charming, and adorable.
She is the most adorable younger sister in the world.
But no matter how much he planned, he never expected his younger sister to be so audacious as to sell her brother for glory.
She really is blinded by lust.
Song Hansheng fights down his discomfort and pushes open the door to the neighboring palace hall.
There he finds his sister enjoying herself with sixteen male favorites, so delighted she has forgotten all about home.
He is so angry he laughs. She's asking for a lesson!
*
Song Hansheng has always been indifferent to worldly desires.
But his younger sister simply wants too much!
He can only push himself to work harder and harder.
From a capable minister who brings peace to the realm to the ruler of an empire.
Former court officials: Waaaah... His Highness the Crown Prince has finally come around!!!
Song Hansheng: ...Is there any hope for a brocon?
"Bonus Scene"
Song Yingxue rushes in like the wind, clings to her brother's arm, and coos, "Brother, brother, I want this year's top new scholar, the third-ranked beauty, as my consort!"
Song Hansheng gives a cold laugh. "Oh, the third-ranked beauty, is it?"
He pulls her into his arms and, with a slight movement of his fingers, patiently teaches her: "Jiaojiao, this is what it means to explore a flower!"
Explore the flower, explore the moon, explore Yingxue~
Song Yingxue: ...Somebody save me!
The realm may stretch for ten thousand miles,
but it is no match for the inch of warmth in my arms on a snowy night.
If you like it, please save the upcoming story. I'll start writing once it reaches 100 saves!
Theme: Work hard and strive
Qingping's character is not that of a common woman under the oppression of feudal society. However, under oppression, in addition to being submissive, there is also resistance. China has thousands of years of history, and resistance has never stopped. In history, there are often people who transcend the times and whose ideas are incompatible with the environment at that time. Under high pressure, some people shout out, "Princes, generals, and ministers should be contented with each other." Others are sad and angry, "I want to build the history of the country, but Qige does not grant female bachelors." Their thoughts cannot be completely disciplined by the oppression of feudal ethics. So I think Qingping's character design is very reasonable and I like it very much. In addition to Qingping, there are many characters that I like, such as Shen Zhaoning who dares to rebel against the government, the heroic Shen Zhaoge, Cui Yunzhi, a talented girl who was once taught by etiquette and finally found herself, and the "substitute girl" who was limited by her horizons and wanted to cling to the powerful and found her own way after broadening her horizons... The framework of this book is very good, and each character is arranged for me I like them all very much. The only regret is that the plot after Qingping left was too fast. Her wanderings outside and the detailed scenes with Shen Zhaoning, Shen Zhaoge, Cui Yunzhi and others must have been very exciting. I longed for it, but unfortunately I couldn't see it. It felt like there was a pile of gold sand in the stall, and I only had a colander, so I couldn't get much out of it. I have been reading books for more than ten years and rarely comment. This is my first long review in Jinjiang. Finally, the flowers are finished! Looking forward to more works from the author! 🎆
If the crown prince obediently becomes Qingping's underground lover, there will be no such trouble [Cai Dog]
When will the heroine stop being abused? I don't want to watch it continue.
Oh my gosh, it goes so fast. By the time I get back, it's already the finale (just to interrupt, I also really like green🟢[hug my thighs][hug my thighs])
No? I want to arrest the author and shake him down!! How much did you miss and didn't write it down for me??? There are so many exciting contents, but they don't show me the details! 😭I feel that the content of these recent chapters is so rich and colorful, I could write at least one or two hundred chapters if I expand it! It's rare to encounter such a good-looking story. The characters of the protagonist and supporting characters all fall in love with me, but then it's gone?? You pay me two hundred chapters! 😭😭😭
We can't be husband and wife, but we can be friends, which is pretty good. And the prince is so good, he didn't delay the business due to inexplicable jealousy. Okay, okay, extra points! Finally, Shen Zhaoning 666!! Dare to engage in palace coup! [Cat head][Cat head]
My cousin laughed at him crazily, hahahaha!! I have to say that if he can get his wife back, his cousin will really get a big score. Qingping had a very good impression of her cousin, and she was life-saving.
I like the scene where Qingping asks Cui Yunzhi his name. Women in ancient Chinese have lost their names for too long, and some even lost their surnames.
No, it's all locked. I'm dizzy.
I eat, eat, eat, there are so many things, but none of them are useless, I regret to leave 🥺 🥺
