Vain and calculating, Su Lingyao knew from the moment she was born that if she wanted to rise to the top, she had to stop at nothing.
Fortunately, she had been blessed with a stunning face, captivating eyes, and a willow-slender waist.
It was easy for her to win people’s favor.
At a garden banquet held at her family home, her mother specially invited the Crown Prince and a host of powerful figures from the capital.
Su Lingyao seized her chance and found an opportunity to get close to the Crown Prince.
Under the red covers, they spent a tender night together...
But the man she had set her heart on turned out to be the servant who had always followed her around.
Furious, she glared at him with bloodshot eyes, nearly choking him to death.
The mute servant had always been quiet. Though breathtakingly beautiful,
Su Lingyao had never paid him any attention before that night.
Afterward, she loathed him and found all sorts of excuses to punish and torment him every day.
Later, Su Lingyao finally won the Crown Prince’s heart.
On her wedding day, the servant she had bullied and looked down on became the new emperor.
Her family fell from power, and she was brought low overnight.
She was forced to submit beneath him.
Song Huaiyu had seen Su Lingyao in many different moods: spoiled and foolish, arrogant and conceited, and alluring in her dazzling beauty.
But he had never imagined that one day she would bow her proud head before him.
Her slender waist bent low as she fawned on him.
At first, he had teased her on purpose, just to watch her squirm.
But as time went on, he found himself less and less able to control his feelings...
