Princess Turned Maid

Female Lead:

She was once a princess of the Great Jin dynasty. When the realm fell apart, she was cast out among the common folk and reduced to a servant.

Falling from the clouds into the dust, she experienced every kind of hardship and learned to make the best of things. Little by little, life as a maid even began to feel rather pleasant.

After many twists and turns, the phoenix returned to its nest, leaving her former masters utterly stunned:

Qian Yuzhu turned pale. "Impossible! How could that wretched maid be a princess?"

"She looks just like the emperor and empress. She must be their daughter."

Cao Yunzhi looked furious. "So what if she's a princess? I never mistreated her."

"You may not have mistreated her, but you cursed her ancestors for eighteen generations."

Male lead: The Hui Emperor's daughter is probably an idiot. I will never marry her.

Years later: He eats his words.

Male Lead:

He was a nobleman of the former dynasty's imperial clan. He took in a badly injured little girl, thinking he was simply doing a good deed.

He never expected the girl to slowly find her way into his heart, or that she would gradually begin looking at him in a very different way.

Fine, a maid is still a maid. His family is famous throughout the land for marrying "lowborn women," so what difference would one more make?

But then the maid vanished, transforming into a princess of noble rank.

Now that was awkward. Everyone knew he was supposed to marry beneath his station. What was he going to do?
