The Deposed Emperor and the Palace Maid

[Zhaoyan] Zhaoyan was a palace maid who had served the Empress Dowager diligently for more than a decade. Sharp-eyed, sharp-eared, and capable, she was known as "Auntie Yan." Just as Zhaoyan was about to turn twenty-five and be released from the palace, a verbal order from the Empress Dowager sent her to Changxin Palace to serve His Highness the Prince of Wei. Who was the Prince of Wei? He had once been the crown prince, but one day ascended the throne. Less than half a month after becoming emperor, he was deposed and made Prince of Wei, then imprisoned in Changxin Palace for life. He was violent and eccentric, spending his days drinking and carousing. The eunuchs and palace maids sent to Changxin Palace would last no more than three or four days before tearfully begging to leave, saying their lives were in danger. The Empress Dowager's order could not be disobeyed. Zhaoyan took a deep breath, packed her things, and entered Changxin Palace. At their first meeting, the Prince of Wei, a handsome and dissolute man, gave her a taste of his power. "New here? Come over and dance for me!" [Yan Wanfeng] Yan Wanfeng was reborn, returning to the most humiliating and wretched period of his life, after he had been driven from the throne. He remembered that when he was sentenced to death in his previous life, the old attendants around him scattered in every direction. Only one palace maid, named Zhaoyan, remained, neither servile nor arrogant. She lowered her head and pleaded to be buried with her master. Now that he had a second chance at life, Yan Wanfeng planned to recruit Zhaoyan and get closer to her. But... Zhaoyan told a fellow palace maid, "His Highness the Prince of Wei has been so attentive to me. I'm afraid I won't live much longer. I expect to be lying dead in Changxin Palace within three days."
