The Mute Maid Turns the Tables

A chaste young master from a wealthy family encounters a mute servant in dire straits, and his long-dormant heart finally blossoms.

The mute servant can study and do accounts for the young master, and practice boxing and swordsmanship with him, yet somehow has no sense of romance.

When the young master makes an ambiguous romantic advance, the servant simply and bluntly writes "Men and women should keep their distance" and slaps it onto his forehead.

The young master is forced to learn to serve tea, fetch water, massage shoulders and rub legs for his mute servant, and even picks up practical life skills like warming his hands and heating his bed.
