[In a nutshell: A seemingly gentle and refined young lord goes mad for an ugly maid, revealing his vicious and ruthless nature!]
The ugly maid was born with a palm-sized, deep purple birthmark covering half her face. As soon as she was born, she was abandoned at the gates of the Marquis's residence. She grew up there as a servant, doing the dirtiest jobs, such as washing clothes and emptying chamber pots, because of her hideous appearance.
The Marquis's household was a nest of intrigue. During the struggle over the title, the eldest branch's stepmother arranged for her to be put in the eldest young master's bed. Her scheme caused him to lose the title and become the biggest laughingstock in the entire household, and even the entire capital.
As a result, the eldest young master came to despise her.
After three years of taking contraceptive medicine and losing two unborn children, she learned on the day the eldest young master sent betrothal gifts to ask for the hand of the current dynasty's commandery princess that she was actually the eldest princess's true daughter. The commandery princess he was courting was nothing more than a fake, casually taken in from the streets.
How ironic.
That night, a fire engulfed the Marquis's residence, and the ugly maid perished in the flames.
But the usually handsome and refined eldest young master went mad, his eyes bloodshot as he rushed into the fire in a frenzy.
The ugly maid underwent a face-changing procedure and regained her peerless beauty. The eldest princess recognized her as her adopted daughter and bestowed her upon the third young master of the Xie family. Yet on the wedding day, the eldest young master unexpectedly snatched her away in front of everyone, plunging the entire capital into chaos.
