The Unruly Maidservant

[No transmigration + No golden finger + Forced love, then a groveling chase + Extreme push and pull]

Unhinged, cold-hearted Marquis x Beautiful, long-suffering concubine

Lü Li was sold into the Marquis's estate as a servant by her mother at the age of six. She learned one thing in the mud: survive.

She was clever, patient, and good at scheming, and she never accepted her lot in life. The Third Madam took a liking to her and planned to send her as a dowry with her daughter, for the Duke to keep as a plaything. Betting everything, she set out to seduce the most terrifying man in the estate, Marquis Jing'an, Lu Jingyuan.

He wouldn't touch her because he wanted her to take the initiative. She didn't dare make a move because she was truly afraid of him. Under the same roof, they faced off like two trapped beasts, neither willing to back down first.

Until she ran away...

Years later, they met again.

The lowly maid who had once been at the mercy of others had blossomed into a radiant woman, and was already someone else's wife.

But the iron-blooded Marquis, who had once been so imperious, blocked her way with bloodshot eyes.

She took his hand and pressed it against her pregnant belly, sneering provocatively. "My lord, I'm carrying another man's child. Do you still dare take me?"

His whole body trembled, yet he didn't dare grip her too tightly. He knelt humbly at her feet and begged her in a hoarse voice:

"If you'll only stay, then this child will be mine..."
