Reborn as a Delicate Chambermaid, I Rise Step by Step in the Inner-Residence Struggle

[Sweet and flirtatious bedchamber maid vs. aloof, calculating powerbroker] Xiuyue endured ten long years in the marquis’s household, staying by Xiao Lingbai’s side as he grew from a callow youth into a proper heir. For ten years, they were together from dawn till dusk. She gave him her whole heart, took care of everything, and endured every slight, all while hoping that once their child was born, he would grant her a place by his side and free her from her lowly status as a slave. But only when the transmigrated heroine appeared, endlessly proclaiming that she wanted to spend her life with one man and one man alone, did Xiuyue realize she was nothing but a cannon-fodder side character, there to help the heroine gain experience! She was forced to miscarry and sent to the servants’ quarters. Everyone thought she would be ground into the mud and die quietly in some dark corner, just as the story dictated. But she refused to accept her fate! Instead, she set her sights on the cold-faced powerbroker with boundless influence and carefully led him in. In public, he was detached and ruthless. But with her alone, he grew possessive, vying for her affection and breaking his own rules again and again: “Between me and the heir, whose favor do you prefer?” Xiao Lingbai could only watch as the woman he had once cast aside like trash rose to the top, now honored and adorned in splendor. Only then did he regret what he had done. On the couch beneath the fragrant canopy, Xiao Yi held Xiuyue’s hand and kissed the back of it. “I owe the heir a thank-you for being so blind~” P.S. The heroine is not a virgin, but the male lead is. Everyone is evil, and there are no saintly do-gooders.
