I lived as a dependent in the Duke’s estate for five years.

I was cautious in everything, hoping only that when I came of age, I could find a good family to marry into.

The young masters and ladies were all kind.

Only the heir was always cold to me.

Anxious, I sent him pastries every day.

But by chance, I overheard him lecturing his younger sister:

“Miss Liu is just like her aunt-crooked-minded and greedy for wealth.”

“You should have less to do with her.”

Only then did I realize he had long seen through my wish to climb the social ladder.

Afraid he would interfere,

I waited until he left to study abroad,

then quietly married myself off.
