【A Sweet-Looking but Scheming Maid x an Ice-Cold General】
Shen Lanyao is sold into slavery by her adoptive father. After narrowly escaping the slave market, she runs into Xiao Beizhi. Cold and merciless, he blocks her way when he realizes she’s a runaway slave.
As luck would have it, a bolt of lightning splits in two and strikes them both. From then on, they can hear each other’s thoughts.
But Shen Lanyao doesn’t realize it. She curses Xiao Beizhi mercilessly in her mind while pretending to be sweet and harmless to his face.
Xiao Beizhi, who never loses his composure even when Mount Tai collapses before him, darkens at her thoughts. Ignoring her pleas, he sends her back to the slave market.
Thus begins the feud between the two, whose stations in life couldn’t be more different.
She hates him, yet unexpectedly becomes Xiao Beizhi’s bedchamber maid. The noblewomen of the capital come to see her as a thorn in their side. She has to deal with the backstabbing in the inner household while carefully attending to Xiao Beizhi.
At first, Xiao Beizhi takes Shen Lanyao as his bedchamber maid only so he can keep an eye on her.
He looks down at her coldly as she calls him “General” in a sugary voice, while cursing him as a bastard in her thoughts, and sneers. He’s determined to see how long she can keep up the act!
But while he waits, he falls for her.
She is clever, sly, ruthless, and recklessly bold, yet cautious. Her status is low, but she doesn’t think less of herself. She calls herself a servant, yet has never looked down on who she is. Though confined to the inner household, she has never stopped longing for freedom.
From then on, he can’t take his eyes off her. But when this proud man humbles himself to beg for her love, she seizes the chance without hesitation, escapes the inner household, and spreads her wings.
Only then does he realize that the little white flower in his courtyard has never forgotten what she wants.
