The Sweet and Silly Little Maid

[Scheming Impostor Marquis x Sweet, Gentle Maid] Mian Yuan was a maid to the Dowager Lady of the Marquis's household. She had a face like a lotus, with skin as fair as snow. After the old marquis died in battle, the young marquis led the troops to war. He was gone for years, then returned victorious. The Dowager Lady doted on her grandson and, in one fell swoop, sent several maids to the young marquis's residence to serve as bedchamber attendants. Mian Yuan didn't dare approach him. The young marquis was stern in public and sinister in private. A man who had shed blood was different from others. How could she possibly serve him? Besides, His Majesty had already arranged a marriage for the young marquis. His bride-to-be was none other than a princess. Fortunately, the young marquis showed no interest in women. Being his maid meant good pay and little work. It wasn't a bad deal. Until one day, while cleaning the washroom, Mian Yuan found a human-skin mask. She was still puzzling over it when a long, slender hand reached out from behind her and took the mask. A handsome man with sharp features spoke in the young marquis's voice. "You saw it?" Mian Yuan was horrified. The young marquis and the old marquis had both failed to return from the battlefield. The man before her was an impostor... Mian Yuan thought she was as good as dead, but Gu Hanque made her his personal maid, dressing him and combing his hair. She was the only one allowed close to him. The other maids envied her. She was the only one afraid that he would kill her one day to keep her quiet. As the wedding approached, the princess's governess came to the marquis's residence to prepare the bridal chamber. She looked at Mian Yuan, who had the impostor's exclusive favor, with icy eyes. She had heard that the princess was spoiled and willful, and had beaten several young palace maids to death. Mian Yuan valued her life above all else. At last, on the wedding day, she couldn't take it anymore and fled as a runaway slave. The marquis's wedding to the princess was a grand affair. The emperor attended in person, and the whole capital was in a frenzy. Mian Yuan ran for her life without looking back, until the iron hooves behind her caught up. Despair filled her face. Gu Hanque, his red robes stained with blood, dragged her onto his horse and coldly asked where she was going. Mian Yuan panicked. The next instant, his lips covered her trembling ones. After that night, the young marquis ceased to exist. The old emperor died at the princess's wedding banquet, a long sword ran red with blood, and a new emperor ascended the throne. Gu Hanque was cold-hearted and single-minded. He had thought he would spend his life alone, never expecting to end up with a little bundle of snow-white cotton. -- Whatever he wanted in this life would be his. PS: The heroine falls for him late. The male lead is sexually inexperienced, but once he realizes his feelings, he competes and fights for her. Upcoming novel: The Little Fairy Was Programmed with CEO Catchphrases Luo Huaming transmigrated into a book that had been transmigrated into countless times. One after another, transmigrators had tried and failed to win over the cold, arrogant male lead. He had awakened to his own consciousness, was on high alert, and was terrifyingly powerful! The good news: Luo Huaming wasn't a transmigrator trying to win him over, and she had no missions involving him. The bad news: A CEO Catchphrase System had been implanted in her. If she didn't finish saying the painfully awkward lines, she would turn into a hairy wild person and be sent to a planet of soft-bodied insectoids to undergo trials. The System said that the book was full of exceptional characters, which would make it easy for her to complete her mission. Luo Huaming wholeheartedly agreed. Jiang Youwu had exceptional talent, and was born with a silver mark between his brows. He was like broken Kunlun jade, so pure and dazzling that he was breathtaking. Others thought he was favored by Heaven. Only he knew that deliberate intruders kept appearing, trying to steal his fortune and fate. Luo Huaming didn't want to get involved with him. Disguised as a man, she planned to be a quiet bystander and speak only when necessary. First, she stuck to her junior sister, ignoring her protests as she forced out the line: "Woman, are you playing hard to get with me?" Then she turned to a transmigrator who was acting pitiful and held out her hand. "Here's a spirit stone. Don't come home until you've spent it all!" Who did she think she could fob off with one coin? The transmigrator was furious, but was forced to go along. Luo Huaming raised a finger to her lips. "Shh. Don't try to turn me down, because you can't." That was pretty domineering. Luo Huaming didn't dare slack off. She gave a thumbs-up to a powerful spirit beast and blurted, "Damn, I didn't expect it to be so slim and yet so stacked!" Jiang Youwu: "..." Not long after, she was ambushed. Clutching her stomach, she cursed, "This is killing me. Just thinking about that woman got me all worked up!" Her junior sister gave her a complicated look. "Your poison is acting up." Later, when her secret identity was on the verge of being exposed, Luo Huaming lost her temper. "Fine! I'll show you all whether I'm a man or not!" Jiang Youwu had seen enough. He hauled her back to his cave residence and raised an eyebrow. "Then show me. Are you a man or not?" Golden demonic eyes appeared, and the silver mark between his brows instantly turned crimson. No one knew that beneath the otherworldly immortal's appearance lay a Dark Demon. His ancestral bloodline gave him command over all living spirits, and he was clearly losing control. An ink-black snake tail coiled around her. Luo Huaming was stunned. This wasn't how things were supposed to end for a bystander! She stubbornly retorted, "Don't provoke me. You can't handle losing!" She hadn't expected Jiang Youwu to take her seriously and try to strip her skin off right there. Even terrified out of her wits, Luo Huaming still wouldn't behave. "Beg me, and I'll give it to you." Jiang Youwu ignored her and decided to continue. Luo Huaming: "!" Wait, she was just saying that! Did he really have to play along so seriously? Theme: Treat others with kindness.
