What?! My Secret Crush Became the Lord of My City

[Transmigration] [Secret Crush] [Healing]

[A timid, insecure maid x a gentle city lord with psychological trauma]

Su Ruo Li, a college student who was not loved by her mother, unexpectedly transmigrates to Changle City. With no memories, she can only rely on instinct. At that moment, the city lord's manor is selecting a personal maid for its wheelchair-bound lord, and she is one of the many candidates.

Since she's here, she might as well make the best of it. She's heard the city lord is handsome. Surely there's no harm in indulging in a little eye candy?

When she learns that her original body's owner died after being attacked, she immediately loses her nerve. She has only one wish: to stay alive and steer clear of trouble. But fate has other plans. She not only fails to withdraw from the maid selection, she wins it outright and becomes everyone's target.

Fine, then she'll cling to the powerful one for dear life.

But she discovers that all her efforts are one-sided. In the middle of an argument, her memories of her previous life return, and she realizes the man before her looks exactly like the person she had a crush on. She doesn't break down or make a scene. She quietly swallows her bitterness and slips away.

He, however, refuses to let her go, trying every which way to make peace with her. His doting behavior makes everyone around them start to misunderstand, but she remains steadfast in her feelings for the person from her previous life, keeping her heart in check.

A series of coincidences makes her begin to suspect that Changle City has some connection to her previous life.

Before she can find out what's going on, the city lord asks, "You're not Su Ruo Li, are you?"

Is her identity as someone who transmigrated about to be exposed? Will she have to die all over again?

Su Ruo Li sets a bowl of steaming-hot rice porridge before Xiao Jing Mo. She scoops up a spoonful and, without even blowing on it, holds it to his lips. When he still doesn't open his mouth, she curls her lips into a smile and says:

"Why aren't you eating, my lord? Is the porridge too bland? But didn't the physician say you should eat light?"

"Or is it that you can't stand the sight of me? You think the breakfast I worked so hard to make isn't to your liking? Then I'll go ask Nanny Hai to find you someone more suitable, so that..."

Before she can finish, Xiao Jing Mo takes the spoon into his mouth. The scalding porridge swirls around in his mouth several times before he finally swallows it.

As soon as Su Ruo Li leaves, Xiao Jing Mo points at the water on the table.

"Water! Get me some water!"

He desperately needs water to wash away the cloying taste. His mouth feels so sticky and unpleasant that he can barely speak.
