[Seemingly aloof but secretly flirtatious, beautiful and tragic young master x chambermaid who just wants to fly solo and live her own life]

A Tou has lived two lives, but, wouldn't you know it, she's only a chambermaid sent by the mistress of the house to torment a son born to a concubine.

In her previous life, before she could even give herself to him, that cold-blooded master kicked her to death. Reborn, she swears she'll never go near that icy-faced King of Hell again...

Xie Baichang was born into a wealthy family, yet he bore the shameful reputation of having brought about his parents' deaths. At the age of three, he was sent to a temple deep in the mountains. Fifteen years later, as soon as he returned home, his stepmother arranged a beautiful chambermaid for him. What a wicked plan!

He kicked the seductive little vixen out without a second thought.

But when he was buried alive, this chambermaid was the only one who wept for him, heartbroken...

Baichang took pity on her and thought it might not be so bad to keep her by his side.

Little did he know that the young chambermaid had already turned over a new leaf and completely forgotten her duties as a chambermaid. Her bright eyes were so pure and clear as she looked at him that they drove him wild!

When hints got him nowhere, Baichang decided to take the initiative and try acting the way she used to... But all he got in return was her righteous, reproachful stare:

"Master, please behave. I'm a respectable woman!"

Baichang was deeply frustrated. After kicking her out because he couldn't take a hint, all he could do now was painstakingly sweet-talk his way back into her heart!

A lighthearted, comedic blurb:

Master Xie watches A Tou, completely absorbed in working her abacus, and feels his heart itch with longing:

"You're neglecting your duties!"

"And what are my duties?"

"You're my chambermaid!"

"That's too low-ranking. I quit."

"You can get promoted!"

"Too many applicants, and the job security is poor. No thanks."

"You're the only candidate, and it's the highest position. A bridal sedan chair carried by eight bearers, a wedding procession stretching ten miles, lifetime employment with no chance of being fired!"

"I'd rather not. You kicked me to death once, remember? I'm scared..."

Reader's guide:

1) One-on-one romance, both leads have no prior sexual experience.

2) An unconventional pursuit-after-the-breakup story.

3) Alternate history.

Next book: Fold You in My Arms

Lu Ranqing, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Ning'an's household, had grown into a peerless beauty by the time she came of age. Noble young men across the city vied to marry her, but she claimed she wanted to pray for her mother's blessings and spent three years as a lay practitioner, her hair unshorn, until the Empress Dowager betrothed her to Wei Xiao, the Marquis of Zhongyong.

Earl Lu feared his legitimate daughter, who had once threatened to die rather than marry, might refuse. After trying every means of persuasion, he was relieved when she finally agreed:

"All right."

Who could know that a young man had lived in Lu Ranqing's heart for ten years? Every month she painted him a picture; every year she carved him a wooden statue, imagining what he would look like grown up.

The day he rode back to the capital, tall and proud in his armor atop a fine warhorse, she stood at the teahouse window, weeping uncontrollably.

You've finally returned safely!

How fortunate I am that I can marry you!

But on their wedding night, she was left alone. She also had a strange dream: five years into their marriage, she had borne no children, and Wei Xiao had taken no concubines. He had simply brought home an orphan for her to raise as his legitimate son. She was still wrapped up in the sweetness of her love for him when she heard him say to his ailing mother:

"I put sterility incense in the Lu woman's room back then to avenge my father. Now that she's managing the marquis's household so well, we can bring home a son from an outside lover later and raise him here."

It struck her like a thunderbolt!

Lu Ranqing woke in a cold sweat. Her marriage was already settled, but she wanted to live differently...

.

Wei Xiao followed his father into exile at the border at age fourteen. Ten years of military merit earned him a marquisate. He is the emperor's sword for curbing the influence of the imperial relatives, while the Empress Dowager uses this marriage alliance as the sword's sheath. Earl Lu played a crucial role in framing his father all those years ago.

The imperial decree could not be refused, so he might as well marry her and leave her to her own devices. On their wedding night, he casually lifted the bride's veil and then went off to attend to official business.

Half a month later, he returned to find a room full of elaborately dressed chambermaids and concubines, while his new wife had been sent by his mother to kneel in the ancestral shrine.

This was too much. No one should treat a frail woman like that.

That night, he decided to stay and consummate the marriage. "I'll make sure you have all the dignity due to the marquis's wife from now on. Please be patient with my mother."

Little did he know that this young wife was far more accommodating than he'd expected...

But Wei Xiao didn't yet know that her consideration would later stick in his throat, prick at his back, and cut him to the bone!
