After Becoming the Cold Young Master's Concubine

Shen Luwu transmigrates into the body of a beautiful young maid serving the old madam of a marquis’s household. If she’s lucky, she might become a young master’s concubine, or be married off to some servant. That wouldn’t be so bad. What she fears is being casually given as a gift to some powerful official and wasting away her life. She has to find a way out for herself. * As it happens, the household’s most beloved third young master, as ethereal as an immortal, contracts smallpox. His life hangs in the balance, and he is sent to a country estate outside the capital to recuperate. Everyone knows he will never return. In her grief, the old madam decides to send a maid to the estate. Officially, she will care for the third young master. In truth, the old madam hopes she will bear him an heir. The maids are all terrified and refuse to go. Even if one of them gets pregnant, she won’t survive being infected. It would mean risking her life for wealth and status. When the old madam asks what she thinks, Shen Luwu falls silent for a moment, then bows her head and offers to share the old madam’s burden. * No one expects the third young master to return alive three months later, still as handsome as ever in his flowing white robes, with the same refined, noble air. Shen Luwu is by his side, already pregnant. The third young master gazes at her with tender devotion, making everyone envious, and insists on marrying her. The other maids are overcome with regret. But no one knows she dared to go only because she was certain the third young master didn’t have smallpox at all. Reading guide: 1. Scheming beauty vs. cool, reserved man bound by feudal values 2.
