The Sweet and Tender Maid Is Doted on by the Chaste Imperial Preceptor

[Black-hearted assassin maid VS aloof and untouchable Imperial Preceptor] Shen Qingqian was an assassin from the Dark Tower. A mission led her to become a maid sent to the Imperial Preceptor's residence to bring him good fortune. To secure her place in the household, she did everything she could to win Pei Ji's favor. Beneath the warm red candlelight, she thought the thousand-year-old iceberg had fallen for her. But afterward, he draped a light robe over her with his own hands, then turned around and gave her to someone else. "A Qian, to me, you're ultimately nothing but a chess piece." Yet once her mission was complete, she walked away, and he lost his mind and locked her inside the residence. On a rainy night, Pei Ji held her tightly in his arms. "A Qian, were your feelings for me ever genuine?" The woman in his arms gave him a cool, indifferent look. "My lord, I'm nothing but a chess piece. How could I have genuine feelings?"
