[Gentle maid x cold-faced Marquis, dog-training romance]

[Opens five years later]

Bi Qing was rescued by Madam Shen and became the personal maid of young master Shen Bingzhi from childhood.

She had secretly loved him for years, but knew they came from utterly different worlds and had never dared hope for anything more.

Besides, she had a strange and unspeakable illness: she lactated.

On her eighteenth birthday, Shen Bingzhi, slightly drunk, pulled her into his bedchamber.

He pinned her beneath him, staring in surprise at the wet patch on her bodice.

From that day on, Bi Qing became the young master's bedwarming maid.

Shen Bingzhi was cold by nature, but rough in bed.

Even though Bi Qing took contraceptive soup, she still accidentally became pregnant.

Shen Bingzhi looked at her coldly. "You certainly are scheming, trying to use the child in your belly to climb the social ladder."

Bi Qing hurriedly denied it. "This servant would never!"

But she was still dragged away and forced to drink an abortifacient.

After being tormented until she was barely alive, she was sent far away to a country estate.

Five years passed in a flash.

Young Master Shen Bingzhi was now twenty-five, yet he had never married, nor did he have anyone attending to him in his chambers.

He had grown even colder and was even harder to get along with.

Madam Shen was anxious and worried when she suddenly remembered someone:

The maid who had once been intimate with her son and had even borne him a child.

The carriage stopped at the Marquis's residence. A young woman with delicate features and a full figure stepped down.

She held the hand of a little girl as pretty as a porcelain doll.

Bi Qing raised her eyes to the grand residence with its red gates and embroidered doors, and sighed softly.

Why had the old madam called her back?

After all, the young Marquis hated her so much.

*

Shen Bingzhi's temperament had turned volatile because of his headaches, and all the servants in the residence feared him.

Only the slender, pretty maid, though afraid, still took devoted care of him.

He remembered her name: Bi Qing.

One day, drunk, he forced himself on her.

He thought she would ask him for a position, but she treated him with the same attentive tenderness as before.

Shen Bingzhi thought that if she continued to behave herself, he might promote her to concubine after a while.

He never expected her to be so calculating, secretly getting pregnant.

Shen Bingzhi hated being manipulated more than anything. He immediately made her drink the medicine and drove her away.

Without her in his bed, it seemed cold and uncomfortable.

Shen Bingzhi grew restless, and his headaches became even worse.

Five years later, he looked at the woman who had appeared before him once again.

His usually cold, disdainful gaze flashed with surprise:

She seemed to have grown up, blossoming into an even more graceful beauty.

Wait, who was the little girl beside her?

Could she have married and had a child?

Shen Bingzhi's expression darkened at once.

*

After Bi Qing returned to the Marquis's residence, she lived in his courtyard, but had little to do with him.

Except that he would approach her with a cold expression, shamelessly eating the special meals she cooked for herself.

"..."

Shen Bingzhi's expression was cool. "Though your cooking suits my taste, you mustn't presume to hope for anything else!"

Bi Qing lowered her eyes obediently. "Yes."

Shen Bingzhi's mood, which had just begun to improve, soured again.

How dare she act as if nothing had happened?

Did she not care about him at all?

*

One night, Shen Bingzhi had a little to drink.

With red eyes, he climbed into the bed of the maid who had once warmed his bed.

He looked at Bi Qing's calm, undisturbed eyes, his handsome face dark, then bent down and burrowed beneath her skirts.
