Qiu Yue Bai was born into a distinguished family, beautiful and talented.
At a young age, she passed the imperial examinations and became a Vice Minister of Personnel.
She could have married into a powerful, prestigious family,
but she had one rather disreputable hobby: keeping male favorites.
A group of handsome young men arrived at the Nanfeng House,
each one fair-lipped and beautiful.
Qiu Yue Bai, who liked male courtesans, bought one of them his freedom and brought him home.
She said to the boy, who was trembling behind the bed curtains:
"From now on, I am your mistress. You will serve me, understand?"
The handsome boy's eyes brimmed with tears. "Please be kind to me, Mistress..."
But their happy days did not last. One day, the boy suddenly disappeared.
His beloved had gone missing, and Qiu Yue Bai was genuinely miserable for several days.
A few days later, she went on attending court as if nothing had happened,
until the day she met someone in the palace.
--
The Emperor and Empress had lost their legitimate son among the common people years ago.
Seventeen years later, he was finally found and made Crown Prince.
He was none other than her missing male favorite.
He Lan Jun smiled at Qiu Yue Bai, who was sweating with fear.
"Lady Qiu, was I a satisfactory servant during those six months?"
He slowly leaned closer to her face, lifting her chin as he did.
The scent of agarwood spread between them. His tone was ambiguous, even a little plaintive.
"After all this time apart, did you not miss me?"
Qiu Yue Bai put on a brave face. "Everything that happened before is in the past. Besides, I've recently taken on several new favorites at my estate. How could I possibly remember those old affairs?"
Once she had collected herself, she smiled faintly and leaned close to his ear to whisper, "If Your Highness really wants to know, why not come to my estate tonight... and let me tell you whether I was satisfied? How does that sound?"
