The Maid Is Pregnant, and the Aloof Chancellor Spoils Their Baby Every Day

[No Heirs + Blessed with Fertility + The Powerful Bow Their Heads + An Ordinary Woman's Revenge]

In her previous life, the widowed Huan Niang was the eldest young master's personal maid. She had been dutiful and honest, never trying to seduce her master or climb the social ladder. All she wanted was to save enough money to buy her freedom, leave the household, and enjoy her old age.

But the newly married young madam was wicked and jealous. Afraid Huan Niang might use her beauty to rise above her station, she sent her to a brothel, where men tortured her to death.

Reborn, Huan Niang finally saw things clearly. If she couldn't live out her days in peace as a lowly servant, then she would stake everything on climbing to the top. She wanted wealth and glory, and she wanted to make the young madam suffer worse than death, winning justice for herself.

But the eldest young master was a lovesick fool, young and without real power. As his personal maid, she'd be forced to keep her head down while fighting his wife. That would be unbearable.

She came up with a shortcut: climb into his adoptive father's bed, become his adoptive father's woman, bear him a son, and rise in rank. She would have money, status, and affection.

She laid her plans with care and worked her way forward step by step. But why had she suddenly begun to find the old prime minister so irresistibly alluring? This dignified, handsome man was steeped in poetry and learning, with a brilliant mind for strategy. He was truly hard to resist.

At first, in Xiao Huaiting's eyes, Huan Niang was nothing more than a personal maid who would stop at nothing to gain wealth and status.

Because she was beautiful, could bear children, and was always trying to please him, he disliked her smug, upstart expression and treated her as a source of amusement, teasing her whenever he had nothing better to do.

But later, she began avoiding him at every turn. Was she trying to run away?

Then he'd drag her back and lock her up...

One day, the dignified, aloof powerbroker leaned against Huan Niang like a fallen red plum blossom.

With a gaze both tender and cold, he threatened her: “You can have my power, my money, even my life. But if you don't treat me right, I'll eat you alive.”
