Transmigrated into the body of a low-ranking maid in the Duke of Zhenguo's residence, Fu Ling treads carefully, as if walking on thin ice. She sets herself two modest goals.
1. Win the old madam's favor.
2. Save enough silver to buy her freedom.
After all her efforts, she unexpectedly earns the old madam's approval and is assigned to serve in the heir's quarters.
Fu Ling: "?"
She has no interest in becoming the heir's bedchamber maid!
Fu Ling makes some inquiries. The heir is eighteen and about to return from the northwestern frontier. His father is the Duke of Zhenguo, his mother is the late Princess Shuyang, his maternal grandmother is the empress dowager, and his maternal uncle is the emperor. Spoiled rotten since childhood, he's overbearing and unpredictable. Even if he is a peerlessly handsome man, she still...
System: "Congratulations, Host, on leveling up! Here's a level-up gift pack: +5 proficiency in sewing, medicine-making, and cooking, plus one bottle of antidote pills. Everything has been placed in your game inventory."
Fu Ling falls silent for a moment. "Do you have a pill that makes a man lose his erection at a crucial moment?"
System: "???" It's an online game system!
[Little Scene]
On the first day Fu Ling is sent over, her hair is as black as ebony and her features are exquisitely beautiful.
The lofty heir stands in the covered walkway and looks down at her. "Now that you're in Fufeng Court, you follow my rules. Don't think that having Grandmother's support means you can entertain any improper notions."
On the nth day since Fu Ling was sent over, she remains dutiful and never oversteps. The heir narrows his eyes. This scheming maid is playing hard to get with me!
The day Fu Ling saves enough silver to buy her freedom, she quickly packs her things and heads out. The smile on her face stings the heir's eyes. "Let her go! Am I really so undesirable that she can't stand me?"
But just as Fu Ling steps out of the residence, the heir rides after her and drags her back.
Fu Ling grits her teeth. "What does this mean, Your Highness?"
The heir snorts. "I've changed my mind. Is that not allowed?"
Fu Ling: ...You damn heir! You're driving me crazy!
P.S. An overbearing, volatile, yet devoted and pure-hearted heir x a fair-skinned, beautiful bedchamber maid who's hard to win over.
It's satisfying to snap at your wife for a moment, but winning her back is a whole different ordeal.
A proud, aloof heir gets a taste of his own medicine and eats his words.
The male and female leads are each other's one and only, in both body and heart.
Warnings: The male lead has feudal ideas and is chauvinistic, but the female lead will teach him how to behave later on. A lighthearted, fluffy story with terrible logic. This is a fictional setting, so don't nitpick the history. [Screenshot saved on 2018.11.16]
