Jiang Man is the only daughter of the butcher on Yongxing Street, and she has a secret in her heart. Who would believe it? She fell in love at first sight with the young master from the second-rank official's household across the street. She keeps him hidden in her heart, a moonlight she won't let anyone touch.

The young master is fair-skinned and beautiful, like the moon in the sky. She knows she isn't worthy of him, but every day she still carries a basket and wanders back and forth along the street, hoping for a chance encounter.

Then one day, she hears that the official's family has gotten into trouble and everyone in the household has been executed. Her moonlight is about to be sent to the Spring Breeze House, and the news burns her heart like fire!

In a fit of passion, she grabs a cleaver and follows him to the Spring Breeze House...

A little fire-breathing dragon who's gentle only in front of the male lead vs. a moonlight who turns into a jealous vinegar spirit once he catches on

The everyday life of a devoted little sunshine and a noble young master with broken wings at a male courtesan house.

Cleaver in hand, beauty bows low, secret love comes true

One-on-one, both virgins, mutual devotion, a sweet little romance

Snippet 1: The day Young Master Shen met Jiang Man was the frailest day of her life. From then on, in the heart of her moonlight, Jiang Man was no different from any other girl: a delicate flower in need of care, though this flower was a little overnourished.

Snippet 2: Following the principle of "if you can't beat them, join them," Jiang Man takes a job at the Spring Breeze House. Starting in the kitchen, she steadily makes her way forward, one step at a time. Fortunately, her moonlight never lets her down. Even trapped in the mire, he uses his youthful body to shield her. What he doesn't know is that his girl willingly set out on this thorny path for his sake. Mountains can be moved, seas can be crossed.

Hua Yan is as beautiful as Xi Shi, with a waist as slender as a willow branch. She is the beauty Madam Xie specially bought to be the Third Young Master's concubine. Unfortunately, the young master prefers a plain, chaste life, and this ravishing concubine simply isn't his type.

Hua Yan thinks: What a wonderful deal! Every day, she gets delicious food, fine clothes, and a show starring the Third Young Master and his fiancee. This is the pinnacle of life!

So Hua Yan secretly plays matchmaker for her immediate superior, keeps watch and runs interference, determined to get the young master's marriage to Miss Jiang settled as soon as possible!

Just when everything seems about to work out, the Xie family suddenly falls into ruin. The marriage that had seemed all but certain is now on shaky ground.

Miss Jiang is more determined than ever to break off her relationship with the young master, and even entrusts Third Young Master Xie to Hua Yan.

Oh no, this guy might end up being my problem. I have to run...

The male lead's perspective: After the Xie family falls, he moves to their dilapidated old house with his concubine in name only, his heart in despair. Looking at the beautiful woman who usually spends money like a bottomless pit, he worries so much his brows nearly knot together. He doesn't think he can afford to keep her.

Who could have guessed that the delicate concubine, who normally wouldn't even lift a finger if a bottle of cooking oil fell over, could fix the roof and build a stove? Even the snail spirit would have to admit defeat.

As Third Young Master Xie stares in astonishment, the beauty extends her slender hand and says matter-of-factly: "Hand over twenty copper coins every day. If you don't, there'll be no food!"

★ The morally upright male lead finally sees clearly after the shackles of his engagement are gone.

★ The stunning female lead is beholden to those who feed her and clothe her. She picked up a fallen master, and her carefree life is over.
