After Being Sold Off, She Survived on Her Acting Skills

Lu Ran transmigrates into a story about women fighting for power in an aristocratic household. In the book, she's the daughter of a disgraced official, sold into the He household as a servant when she was young.

After seducing the eldest son, the young maid is sold off to a pleasure house.

Lu Ran transmigrates after she's been sold, and all that awaits her is a noose hanging from the rafters, ready to send her off with the end-of-story bento.

She yanks down the rope, bundles it up, and tosses it into a corner before opening the woodshed door. "Tell Madam I've thought it over. I want to get to work!"

Lu Ran plans to survive first and take things slowly from there. But unexpectedly, the He family's second son comes to find her.

She clearly seduced the eldest son, so why does everyone look at her and He Lianxun as if they're a pair of adulterous lovers?

He Lianxun: "Since Father and Mother want to protect my elder brother's reputation by pinning the blame on me, I'll play along and pretend to be this shameless lover with you."

Lu Ran: ...

"What, you don't want to?"

Her neck suddenly feels cold. Lu Ran's eyes widen. "I do, I do! Big Brother, don't get worked up. I'm a professional at this."

He Lianxun has always wandered alone in the darkness. At first, he only wanted to use Lu Ran to infiltrate the enemy camp.

But before he knew it, he had fallen for her.

He thought Lu Ran's wish was to marry into a powerful family.

When he bought back her contract and told her he intended to marry her, he was delighted to see her face streaming with tears.

So on the day he went to formally propose, he brought generous gifts to her home.

But the neighbors told him that Lu Ran had packed up and fled in the middle of the night a few days earlier...
