share time: 2026-01-23 02:31:51

Yuan Tao, a menial maid in the General's Mansion, was forced into servitude after her parents' wrongful death, surviving the constant harassment of the legitimate young lady Liu Mei with her wit and resilience. During a mansion fire, she risked her life to save the hunted Ninth Prince Xiao Jing, passing him off as a "new helper" to hide his identity. As they grew close while sharing the firewood shed, Yuan Tao uncovered the traitor colluding with enemies using the account books, and Xiao Jing learned her true identity as the orphan of the Loyal Marquis from her jade pendant. Just as Yuan Tao was about to clear her family's name, Liu Mei exposed Xiao Jing's identity to steal the "merit of saving the prince." Now, Yuan Tao must expose Liu Mei's lie and protect her relationship with Xiao Jing—can this ascent from the dust let her seize her own path to glory?
