The Young Lady and the Long-Term Laborer

[Happy ending + both leads are pure + younger man + reborn redemption + master and servant]

Dark-skinned, rugged long-term laborer x reborn heiress, a frightened bird

In her previous life, Huang Chu lost her family and was sold to the docks, becoming the plaything of a coarse merchant.

The man was tall and fierce, with brute strength. A casual touch from him left her fair skin covered in humiliating bruises.

She hated him to the bone. Reborn into this life, she vowed to protect her family and stay as far away as possible from the man who had haunted her nightmares.

But fate made her meet him again.

At the time, he was still a poor boy being abused by a paint-shop master,

reeked of sweat, dressed in rags, and had a gaze as fierce as a wolf's.

Huang Chu wanted nothing more to do with him, but with a crisis looming over her family, she had no choice but to keep him by her side.

"You're nothing but a dog I bought. Remember your place."

The man knelt before her. His rough hands didn't dare touch the hem of her skirt; they could only clutch the dirt beneath him.

He laughed softly, like a fool:

"Yes. As long as you let me stay by your side, I'll work like an ox or a horse for you. I'll even die for you."
