Chai Fei died suddenly in the modern world and woke up in another life as a maidservant and concubine-attendant to a young noble heir.
Unfortunately, the original owner of the body was older, dull in personality, and disliked by everyone.
That suited Chai Fei just fine.
She had no intention of competing for favor or standing out. She planned to stay invisible, save enough money over the next two years to buy back her freedom, and then marry an honest, ordinary man.
But an accident changed everything.
One day, Chai Fei ended up serving the heir of Yongning Marquis Manor.
The heir was only eighteen—young, vigorous, and handsome.
She couldn’t help stealing a few extra glances at him.
To her surprise, he caught her looking.
From then on, they became entangled with each other night after night, and things quickly spiraled out of control.
When the heir prepared to take a wife, Chai Fei finally saw a way out.
She planned to kneel before the future mistress of the household and beg for permission to leave the estate.
Instead, the heir blocked her path.
Suppressing his anger, he asked:
“You’d rather choose some old man than choose me?”
Gu Shi had seen that dreamy look in the eyes of many maids before.
So he told her coldly:
“I prefer things clean. You won’t be serving my bed anymore.”
[Even if you’re eighteen and in the prime of your youth, I still don’t want to sleep with you.]
“…”
Gu Shi stared at her for a few moments longer.
Those two extra glances were enough to spark his interest.
Later, she pleaded:
“I only want to cling to Your Lordship’s thigh, enjoy some free food and shelter, and nothing more. I have no improper thoughts.”
He only heard the first half of what she said.
Then he asked:
“So later, do you want to hold my left thigh or my right one?”
