Good Fortune

The Zhang family of the capital is the Empress Dowager's family. With two marquisates, the Shouning Marquis Residence and the Jianchang Marquis Residence, they occupy an entire street known as Imperial Zhang Street and enjoy boundless imperial favor. But all the wealth and glory belong to the masters. Jixiang and Ruyi have nothing. They are hereditary servants of the marquisates, with generations of their families having served as slaves. Ruyi is a maid to a young lady of the house, while Jixiang is a page to a young master. Their fate is supposed to be having a litter of little servants who will continue serving the young masters and mistresses of the marquisates. They intend to choose another way to live. They refuse to be servants for the rest of their lives! Read before you begin: 1. This novel mainly follows the daily lives of servants in noble households.
