Beloved Jade Slave

Luo Yi had been at Cangxiang Pavilion ever since the day she woke up. After years of training under Madam Wu, she became the pavilion's top courtesan.

A smile from Luo Yi could captivate a hundred beauties, and before long her fame had spread throughout Jiangnan.

Even the influential visitors from the capital wanted to win a smile from her. Unfortunately, the time wasn't right, and she was kept under wraps and forbidden from receiving private guests.

On the day she was to choose a patron, a notorious bully from the capital bought her for a thousand gold pieces. He was ugly, with a scar across his face, and extremely short.

Luo Yi was unwilling and begged Madam Wu.

After being given a cup of aphrodisiac, she was locked in a room wearing nothing but a sheer robe.

Shen Huaizhi had been tricked by his colleagues into visiting a brothel. He took a wrong turn, hoping only to sober up, but found a girl with red-rimmed eyes and delicate white fingers clutching his sleeve.

She begged him.

With his help, she left Jiangnan. Luo Yi reclaimed her family name and became the eldest daughter of the Yun family of the Marquis of Zhenbei's household.

She spent her days surrounded by music and merriment, living a carefree life.

Until one day at a banquet, she played a song that stunned everyone. Just as she was about to spend a romantic evening with the white-robed gentleman said to be her childhood sweetheart,

he abruptly dragged her into the courtyard. The famous zither Jiaowei lay at her feet.

Luo Yi once again came face-to-face with Shen Huaizhi, whom she had long since forgotten, and felt uneasy.

She had used him, but hadn't he been willing?

Furious to learn that she had used him from beginning to end and then forgotten him completely, Shen Huaizhi laughed in anger. He took out the contract of servitude, his eyes carrying a hint of cold mockery.

"Don't forget, you're the slave I bought." His words reminded Luo Yi of those many nights spent serving him.

Leaning against the corridor, the gentleman regarded the beauty's red-rimmed eyes with a cool, teasing expression. "Play. Aren't you very good at it?"

"Or should I tell the Yun family that their eldest daughter died at the hands of bandits three years ago?"

Luo Yi was so terrified that her heart trembled. She no longer dared entertain any other ideas. She hadn't forgotten how, a year ago, after seeing the portrait of the Yun family's eldest daughter, she had begged and coaxed him into helping her take her place.
