Dark-skinned, rough laborer [Expression] reborn heiress, a frightened bird
In her previous life, Huang Chu lost her family, was sold to the docks, and became the captive of a crude traveling merchant.
The man was huge and fierce, his body full of brute strength. A casual touch from him left ugly bruises all over her pale skin.
She hated him to the bone. Reborn, she swore to protect her family and stay as far away as possible from the man who haunted her nightmares.
But fate made them meet again.
The man was still a poor boy, abused by a master painter.
He stank of sweat and wore rags, but his eyes were as fierce as a wolf's.
Huang Chu wanted nothing more to do with him, but when a crisis threatened 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; he could only clutch the dirt on the ground.
He laughed softly, like a fool:
"Yes. As long as you keep me by your side, I'll work like an ox or a horse for you. I'd even die for you."
