Summary
After a devastating fire, I awoke to a shocking reality: I was now Lydia, a mere side character in a novel, specifically the 30th concubine. My new mission? To escape the plot’s clutches and live a long, blissfully simple life, far from any imperial entanglements. For three years, I managed just that, convinced my freedom was secured as long as the novel’s main story concluded happily. But then, a mysterious “servant” appeared, his red eyes glinting with an unsettling charm. “I’ll listen to your every command,” he declared, proposing a life together. My carefully constructed peace shattered. He’s kind, a dear friend, yet his saucy smiles and flirtatious glances stir something within me I can’t ignore. Is this suspicious stranger a blessing or a curse to my simple existence? Unravel the mystery in chapter 1!
