The Princess's Dilemma

As the most beloved princess of the Great Qi Dynasty, Ning Qinghe once thought she would spend her whole life carefree and unrestrained.

Who could have guessed that an imperial decree would give her a fiance, and that she would soon be married off to manage a household?

When the news came, Ning Qinghe was congratulated by one person after another. She seized a chance and escaped the palace.

If he's such a good husband, then whoever wants to marry him can do it. I'm out of here!

On the run, Ning Qinghe passed herself off as a servant at a pleasure house. She planned to keep a low profile and coast until the farce was over, but somehow ended up as the head courtesan's personal maid.

That was fine too. As long as she could keep coasting, anywhere would do. And besides, she would be serving a beauty!

Ning Qinghe thought she could keep coasting like that, but the beauty wouldn't let her.

The water's surface before her was utterly still. Ning Qinghe fell into deep thought.

At the largest pleasure house in Danyang City, countless beauties competed for attention, but the most beautiful of them all was the head courtesan, Miss Shuangyan.

With skin like ice and bones like jade, she was naturally flawless. Her features were as lovely as a painting, her eyes misty and alluring, and every frown and smile could steal one's soul. She excelled at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Everyone said that being able to spend every day by the side of such an unparalleled beauty was a tremendous blessing. As her only personal maid, Ning Qinghe ought to be grateful.

But Ning Qinghe, the one supposedly blessed, could only say: Whoever wants this blessing, take it right now. I don't want it!
