Beautiful Palace Maid × Cold, Aloof Emperor
—
When Song Shutang was born, the fortune-teller said this girl possessed a destiny of supreme wealth and nobility.
The Song family believed it wholeheartedly. They spoiled and doted on her from childhood, hoping that once she achieved greatness, the entire family would rise along with her.
Yet, they never expected a sudden, catastrophic change. The Song family became implicated in a capital crime, and Song Shutang was sent to the palace as a servant.
She worked as a lowly cleaning maid in the Yeting (Palace Servants’ Quarters) for two years. Then, one day, she caught sight of the Nine-Five Supreme (Emperor).
The man’s gaze fell upon her face. His noble lips parted, asking merely, “What is your name?”
In that moment, Song Shutang knew the fortune-teller had been right.
And so, she firmly grasped this rope that could change her fate.

Pei Hengyu never imagined that a fleeting glimpse in a palace corridor would lead him to bring such a spoiled, troublesome creature to his side.
What vexed him most was that this little troublemaker’s eyes held only a thirst for glory and riches, with not a trace of genuine affection for him to be seen.
Ah, well. The deep palace devours people. Let her have a little happiness for now.
But he never expected that one day, he would willingly offer her even the position of Empress.
