Angst | The Crematorium | Mending a Broken Relationship | Reunion After a Long Separation This novel is also known as "Shocking! My Convenient Husband Is Actually..." Blurb Ling Zhi has gotten involved with two men. Both love wearing white, burning incense, and carrying themselves like gentle, refined gentlemen. The first man abandoned her and vanished without a trace. To keep history from repeating itself, when she got involved with the second man, she dragged him off to be married, thinking that would stop him from leaving. But he still abandoned her and vanished without a trace. Ling Zhi was disheartened. She decided she probably wasn't destined for a life of wealth and status. After the Jiang Kingdom ceded Xizhou, Ling Zhi drifted into the Qi Kingdom and eventually ended up in the residence of its Minister of the Secretariat, scraping by as a maid. The maids in the residence were divided into three ranks. The first rank were gifts from the royal palace, swaggering around as they waited for the Minister to take them into his chambers. The second rank were local Qi people, honest and dutiful. The third rank were refugees from a conquered kingdom, beaten and berated. Unluckily for her, she was in the third rank. She spent over half a year sweeping the residence without ever seeing its master. In her imagination, he was surely broad-shouldered and imposing, with a fearsome gaze and a thick beard. Then, the first time the Minister returned to the residence, she saw him from afar: dressed in white, scented with incense, gentle and refined, every inch a gentleman. The more she looked, the more he resembled the husband who had run away from her. A gentle, refined gentleman × an ordinary, mischievous little maid Reader's Guide: 1.
