For eight taels of silver, my father sold me to the Zheng family to bring good luck to their eldest young master.
The eldest young master Zheng was disabled, and his stepmother had cast him aside at the country estate.
I worked diligently and never complained as I took care of him. Young Master Zheng was so touched that he almost fell in love with me.
Before he could, I stole my indenture contract and thirty taels of silver, then ran away.
Two years later, the new top scholar rode through the streets on horseback, and his horse's head knocked right into the sign above my little shop.
I put my hands on my hips, ready to curse him out. But when I saw his face, I panicked and fled in terror.
Oh no, he couldn't have come to catch me for stealing, could he?
Theme: You are my sun, leading me through the darkest night.
