Shi Ying transmigrated into a maid named Shiliu, serving in the courtyard of the heir to the Prince of Gui's household.
On her first day after transmigrating, the Prince of Gui's household was celebrating a wedding. Shiliu had been punished with five strokes of the cane for making a mistake and was lying in her room to recover. If the household hadn't been holding a wedding, she would probably have been dismissed already.
On her first day back at work after recovering, she came across the head maid laying down the rules for the new maids in the courtyard.
A maid who had tried to seduce her way into the master's bed was brutally beaten with a cane and carried out, bloodied and battered.
Shiliu's legs went weak with fright. She felt the injury on her backside flare up again, and it began to ache.
A chill crept through her. This place was a den of monsters. Her contract was still in her master's hands. How could she get out of here alive?
Theme: Even in adversity, keep your heart turned toward the light.
