A Concubine's Daughter and a Houseboy Make the Perfect Match

A Mao fell on hard times and became a servant in a salt merchant's household. It was a good chance to take a break and enjoy the women's squabbling.

Xia Miao, a concubine-born daughter who didn't want to become a canal commissioner’s concubine, pointed at a servant nearby who was grinning foolishly. "Waaah, he took liberties with me!"

He was nearly beaten to death, then became a live-in son-in-law. A Mao understood: this young lady had fallen for him.

On their wedding night, however, Xia Miao said, "The floor is too cold. Husband, should we add another quilt?"

Only after their pretense became real did she realize that marrying down had actually been marrying up. Xia Miao secretly rejoiced: My prince is handsome, brilliant in both letters and arms, high-ranking, powerful, gentle, and considerate. I hit the jackpot.

A Mao secretly rejoiced: Silly girl, is there anyone in the world who could force this prince to marry into her family?

A few warnings up front

1. This is not a sweet romance, a pampering romance, a wish-fulfillment story, or a fluffy story. This is serious fiction, serious fiction, serious fiction!!!!

2. The blurb only briefly introduces the romance between the leads, but the book is about more than just love. The male lead appears in Chapter 25.

3. The heroine is neither ruthless nor saintly, and she won't retaliate against her family. They bring their own ruin upon themselves.

4. Nothing falls from the sky. The heroine earns every bit of love through painstaking effort and wholehearted devotion. If you can't handle that, please move along.

5. No rebirth, no transmigration, no golden finger. This is a pure historical romance.

I had a dream that all the little angels who read my book finished it, saved it to their libraries, and stayed with me until the end. After my new book, "The Sloppy Writer's Revision,"

A little angel's heart is a star in the sky. I'm going to chase it!
