After Being Forcefully Claimed by a Noble Scion

Wen Dai is an insignificant maid in the Xie family's household, an ordinary woman who could disappear into a crowd without anyone noticing. She does the roughest servants' work, earns next to nothing, and is often treated with contempt. As time passes, the Xie family's matriarch assigns her to serve in the courtyard of her eldest legitimate son, Xie Qingchu. Wen Dai's plain looks and dull temperament make her seem like a safe choice for a more respectable maid's position. Wen Dai understands the matriarch's intentions, of course, and doesn't dare dream of marrying into a powerful family. All she can do is serve with care. As time goes by, Wen Dai grows older and falls for someone. He is a free man, not a servant, and he treats her very well. He also works for the Xie family, but his job is far better than hers. His mother is a housekeeper who has the ear of the Xie matriarch. If Wen Dai marries him, it won't be difficult for her to be freed from her servile status. What could be better than marrying the man she loves? Wen Dai has no reason to refuse. So she puts on a red wedding dress in her little servants' quarters and becomes a joyful bride for once. But the person who enters her bridal chamber that night is not the man she loves. It's Xie Qingchu, the Xie family's eldest legitimate son... His face twisted with rage, as if he hates her to the core. Content warning: The heroine is not a virgin, while the hero is. The heroine suffers under a feudal dynasty setting.
