[Resilient, Clear-Headed Transmigrator] x [Refined Yet Vicious Young Master]
[Coercive Pursuit / The Pursuer's Long Road to Redemption]
When Xue Ruyi transmigrated, she was being held down on a bench and beaten with a paddle. Her skin was torn and her flesh mangled, and the pain nearly made her soul leave her body.
It turned out that the original owner of this body, Zizhu, had been outrageously bold the night before and schemed her way into the bed of the Song family’s eldest young master, Song Yunheng...
She failed to secure a place at the top, and instead received twenty strokes of the paddle. She was demoted from a respectable senior maid to the lowest-ranked kitchen maid who tended the fire.
Song Yunheng was a haughty man of noble bearing who loathed servants with delusions of grandeur.
In the days that followed, Xue Ruyi suffered in silence as everyone in the kitchen made things difficult for her. She could hardly tell everyone that she wasn't the one who had climbed into his bed!
She avoided that young master, who was like the King of Hell, as if he were a venomous snake. All she wanted was to save enough money to buy her freedom and escape the sprawling mansion for a carefree life.
Just as she was about to save enough, she was suddenly summoned back to Song Yunheng's side. "From today on, you'll return to serving me."
Alarm bells rang in Xue Ruyi's head, but she didn't dare disobey.
That night, she entered his room with tea.
The young master, reeking of alcohol, suddenly grabbed her wrist and mocked her. "After going to all this trouble, isn't climbing into my bed exactly what you want?"
"I'll grant your wish, and even raise you to the status of a concubine. How does that sound?"
*
Zizhu, the senior maid at Song Yunheng's side, had climbed into his bed.
He had seen this sort of thing plenty of times before. After a slight punishment, he casually sent her off to the kitchen, out of sight and out of mind.
But after that, the maid seemed like a different person.
She was full of an indescribable vitality, with a bright, charming smile that was especially captivating. But whenever she saw him, she fled like a mouse spotting a cat.
Song Yunheng grew curious and had her transferred back to his side.
He wanted to see what game the girl was playing.
That night, he went along with the situation and took her. He even made an exception and mentioned that he could raise her to the status of a concubine. He had expected her to be grateful, but the girl turned pale and refused. The next day, she ran away.
Song Yunheng laughed in anger.
No one in this household had ever dared defy him like that.
Whether she stayed or left was not up to her.
*
Song Yunheng had sailed through life with power in his grasp, getting everything he wanted. There was only one maid he couldn't have.
Didn't she want to be free?
He gently blew the foam from his tea and smiled down at it.
Then he would clip her wings, break her rebellious spirit, and lock her in the palm of his hand, leaving her nowhere to run, until he was the only person left in her eyes.
Reader Notes:
1. A resilient, clear-headed transmigrator and a refined yet vicious young master.
2. Happy ending, both leads are chaste.
3. Thank you so much for your support! I'm a busy office worker and will do my best to update daily! I'm also hopelessly illiterate, so please don't scrutinize the details too closely (nervously)...
Theme: Hold on to your dreams and keep moving forward.
