The Marquis's Beloved Daughter

She heard that her fiancé's cousin had someone he loved. On the Qixi Festival, she hoped to run into him and catch a glimpse of the woman's beauty.

But she accidentally fell into the water.

When she opened her eyes, she had become a scullery maid in the Duke of Wei's mansion, only to learn that the Marquis of Yongping's family had been destroyed.

She gritted her teeth and used every means at her disposal to get close to the heir of the Duke of Wei, a man who seemed gentle as jade but was actually cold and ruthless. She rose from scullery maid to senior maid at his side, then to the trusted steward of his residence, becoming the famous “favored maid” of the capital.

He offered no explanation, leaving the hearts of countless young ladies in pieces.

Li Shu didn't care in the least. She only wanted to avenge her family, buy her freedom, and get away from him.

On the eve of her departure, his fiancée ended her life with a cup of poisoned wine.

After being reborn, she was once again the fourth daughter of the Marquis of Yongping. Her family was safe and sound, and her parents doted on her.

She also had a maternal aunt who was a Noble Consort and a cousin who was a prince.

There was still time to make things right.

As for the heir of the Duke of Wei, she would treat him like a stranger.

Shen Yan didn't want to obey his parents' orders and marry, so he let the rumors spread unchecked, using them as a shield.

He never expected to gradually fall for that little maid, until he was willing to offer her the position of his legal wife just to keep her by his side. But before he could confess his feelings, she became a corpse.

After being reborn, he immediately went looking for that little maid. Then he discovered...

Huh? It seems that wasn't her?

The one who'd rejected his marriage proposal, the fourth daughter of the Li family, was the one?!

One-on-one romance, both leads are sexually inexperienced in both lifetimes.

*

1. The first time the heroine was reborn, she took over another person's body. She had absolutely no intimate relationship with the hero, and they never even held hands.

2. The hero had no fiancée in his previous life.

3. This is a fictional setting and a satisfying face-slapping story. The official ranks, customs, and traditions of various dynasties are all mixed together, so don't expect historical accuracy.
