Chapter 1 The deep love between master and servant
Lin Xiaoqian was still reeling from the shock of his transmigration and was lost in thought when a beautiful young woman suddenly appeared before him. This woman had a graceful figure, delicate features, and a lively spirit in her eyes. Unlike those who were terrified and fleeing in panic, there was no fear in her eyes; instead, there was an irrepressible excitement and exhilaration.
She rushed forward, her brows furrowed, her beautiful eyes filled with worry for Lin Xiaoqian. Before Lin Xiaoqian could react, the girl opened her arms and hugged her tightly, sobbing uncontrollably, "Miss! You're finally awake! You scared me to death, waaaaah~~~"
Xiaodie's body trembled slightly as she held on tightly, as if afraid that if she let go, Lin Xiaoqian would disappear again. Lin Xiaoqian could clearly feel the complex emotions of fear and joy mingling in her eyes. Warm tears slid down Xiaodie's cheeks, soaking the clothes on her shoulders.
Lin Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, and then, memories of Xiaodie gradually became clearer in her mind. Xiaodie was Lin Qianqian's personal maid, who had been by her side since childhood. Although they were mistress and servant, they were as close as sisters. In this Prime Minister's mansion, only Xiaodie truly treated Lin Qianqian, giving her warmth and care.
Lin Xiaoqian felt a surge of emotion. She gently patted Xiaodie's back and softly comforted her, "Xiaodie, don't cry. I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?" Her voice was still a little hoarse, carrying the dryness and fatigue of just waking up.
Xiaodie slowly released her embrace, raised her head, and looked at Lin Xiaoqian with tearful eyes. She carefully examined Lin Xiaoqian's face, as if to confirm that she was truly unharmed. "Miss, you have no idea how heartbroken I was when you suddenly took your own life. I thought... I thought I would never see you again." Xiaodie sobbed as she spoke, her appearance incredibly pitiful.
Lin Xiaoqian was filled with mixed emotions. She knew the girl before her was deeply in love with her. In this strange and dangerous ancient world, Xiaodie might be her only warmth and support. "Xiaodie, I'm alright, it's just... it's just that after this incident, I seem to have some things I can't remember clearly." Lin Xiaoqian decided to test Xiaodie first to see if she could get more useful information from her.
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie was taken aback at first, then quickly said, "Miss, what should we do? Did you hurt your head? It's all Xiaodie's fault for not taking good care of you." Her face was full of self-blame and regret.
Lin Xiaoqian smiled slightly and took Xiaodie's hand: "Xiaodie, it's not your fault. Don't worry, tell me slowly what happened recently, maybe I can remember something."
Xiao Die nodded and began to recount to Lin Xiaoqian the various events that had transpired in the Prime Minister's residence recently. From the difficulties caused by her aunt and half-sister, to the arranged marriage with the Ninth Prince, and how Lin Qianqian, under such immense pressure, ultimately chose that tragic path. Lin Xiaoqian listened quietly, gaining a clearer understanding of her current situation.
She knew she had a long way to go to survive in this world and change Lin Qianqian's fate. Xiao Die would undoubtedly be her most important ally. "Xiao Die, don't worry, from today onwards, I won't let anyone bully us anymore," Lin Xiaoqian said firmly, her eyes shining with confidence.
Xiaodie looked at Lin Xiaoqian, somewhat puzzled as to why her mistress had suddenly changed so drastically, but she still chose to believe in her. "Yes, Xiaodie believes in you, Miss. As long as you're alright, Xiaodie has nothing to fear."
