Xu Xu was finally found after being kidnapped for ten years. Unfortunately, the traffickers had drugged her throat, leaving her a mute who couldn't speak.
Her father didn't care for her, her mother didn't love her, and even the servants said she was far inferior to Mingyan, the adopted daughter. But Xu Xu didn't mind at all, because she had found a slave named A Yu.
A Yu was muscular and incredibly strong, and, like her, he didn't talk much.
But whenever she was bullied, her slave would help her get revenge in the most ruthless way.
Later, Mingyan finally got her wish: an imperial decree arranged her marriage to the Crown Prince. Xu Xu's family also arranged for her to marry a poor scholar.
Xu Xu didn't want to get married. She grabbed A Yu's sleeve and shook her head as hard as she could, tears welling in her eyes.
A Yu opened his clear, bright eyes and stroked Xu Xu's satin-smooth black hair with his broad hand. "Then would you be willing to leave with me?"
She nodded.
To everyone's surprise, when the Crown Prince's wedding procession arrived outside the Duke of Zhenguo's residence, the one he took away was not Mingyan, but the quiet little mute.
Notes:
1. The male lead is the Crown Prince. For certain reasons, he has been lying low as a slave in the female lead's household.
2. The female lead's muteness will be cured later on.
3. Blurb written in December 2020.
