Spring Pillow, Kite

[A resilient, clever maidservant VS a ruthless and merciless duke]

Three years ago, on a snowy day, Shen Yuan was bound and sold into the Qi household by her uncle and aunt, becoming Qi Jing's personal maid.

All because Qi Jing once told her, "I'll protect you from now on," she gave him her heart.

Three years later, after all her devotion, Qi Jing repaid her with the words, "You're vulgar and unrefined. How could you ever be worthy of me?"

Her love worn away, Shen Yuan only wanted to escape, but Qi Jing handed her over to the Duke's household.

Rumor had it that the duke was violent and ruthless, and that no woman who entered his household ever met a good end. They all went in on their feet and came out carried.

A lowly servant whose life was worth less than a blade of grass, Shen Yuan had no power to resist and could only accept her fate in silence.

Until she looked up: ??? Isn't this the husband I picked up in the snow last month, the one I married for a bargain?
