Ye Qingshu had spent more than ten years as a noble young lady. Then, overnight, she was reduced to a commoner's status and sent to the entertainment quarter.
She was bought by Song Xiao, the treacherous official she had once humiliated when his power was at its lowest.
Everyone thought Song Xiao would torment her. Even Ye Qingshu thought so.
But on the very first night after he bought her, she stepped barefoot on his hand, and Song Xiao turned red at the ears despite his cold expression.
Ye Qingshu wanted to use his influence to save her family. But he was petty and vindictive, often keeping her confined and calling her by the courtesy name he had given her as he brought up the past.
"Manman, how does this filthy, presumptuous little son of a concubine compare with the refined and illustrious Lord Song? And how do I measure up to the brilliant Imperial Censor Wei?"
