Chapter 1 begins! This is the first time you've been so close to me, what do you want? ...
In the elegant music room, a thin, frail young man sat at the piano playing, his pupils unfocused.
He never expected this to happen to him.
Just now, a novel about a revenge story suddenly popped into his head. The protagonist, Li Xin, was tricked by his own father, faked his death, and went into hiding, working as a servant in a wealthy family to evade investigation.
However, she was disliked by the spoiled and wicked young master, who beat, tormented, and framed her.
Then her identity changed drastically; the maid turned out to be the new head of the top-tier wealthy Li family!
The situation has reversed.
The young master was abandoned by his family, who lied that he was a fake young master who had been switched at birth, and sent him away bound hand and foot as an apology.
After enduring countless torments and punishments, the young master finally knelt on the ice in the dead of winter, soaked to the bone, and froze into a pale and beautiful ice crystal artwork. It became the most beautiful piece among the protagonist's trophies and was greatly loved.
Su Jinmu: "..."
"???"
Su Jinmu read it carefully three times and finally confirmed that this was the vicious young master who had been turned into a work of art.
It seems, or rather, it is him.
Su Jinmu's face was full of innocent fear.
...Is it fake?
How could he have been sent away by his parents, let alone become so vicious as to bully others?
Su Jinmu has always been the most obedient child in the family. His daily routine consists of learning the piano, painting, and flower arranging. He is known for being well-behaved and harmless.
Why would he be so bad?
QAQ
He just... dislikes Li Xin a little bit.
After all, Li Xin had stumbled upon his secret.
.
The book's description of the wicked young master's death was so realistic that Su Jinmu felt a sense of empathy. She looked at her own legs with moist eyes, as if she could feel the cold, and her fingertips trembled.
"Bang! Bang!"
The million-dollar piano was slammed down, and the professional teacher standing to the side said coldly, "Young Master Su, you're not concentrating."
Su Jinmu snapped out of her daze, withdrew her hand and placed it on her knee. Her beautiful eyes showed a very gentle and obedient expression as she apologized, "I'm sorry, I'll change it right away, please don't be angry."
The teacher didn't respond, but skillfully took a water-soaked rattan cane from the water tank next to him and extended it towards him without hesitation.
"Your hands shake when you play the piano, and you look at your knees instead of the sheet music. You know the rules."
"Reach out your hand."
Su Jinmu paused for a moment, and then unconsciously curled up her hand on her lap, then loosened it and slowly stretched out her palm.
Snap—
The vine slicing through the air made a sharp, piercing sound, and struck my palm hard, instantly swelling it into a red, swollen welt.
Su Jinmu trembled in pain, but dared not move her outstretched palm, afraid that the rattan would hurt her fingertips even more. Her eyes quickly reddened.
it hurts.
His parents treated him very well on a daily basis, but they were strict with him in all kinds of tutoring classes, and he would be scolded for the slightest mistake.
The novel portrays him as a spoiled and vicious villain, but he was just a weak young master who would get beaten for daydreaming in class.
He's so pitiful, how could he be malicious? QAQ
"Young Master."
Young Master Su was a precious and noble man. Even when he was beaten, he wouldn't cry or make a scene like others. He held back his tears and tried his best to maintain the reserved and dignified demeanor of the young master of the Su family.
The teacher softened a bit, her hand holding the rattan cane hesitating slightly. "Young Master Su, can we continue? Should I tell Madam that class is canceled today?"
Su Jinmu shook her head and gave a smile. "It was just an accidental mistake. Teacher, please don't tell my mother, so she won't worry."
He had a captivating face; when he lowered his gaze, his long eyelashes drooped, making his eyes appear round and soft, like an obedient, soft little white rabbit.
The teacher nodded.
Su Jinmu put her hands back on the piano keys, and only relaxed after the teacher left. She held her swollen and hot palms and carefully blew on them.
My palm was swollen.
He took out his medicine box from the cabinet next to the rattan water tank, skillfully moistened the medicine with a cotton swab, and carefully applied it to his palm, recalling the novel that had just appeared in his mind.
The protagonist, Li Xin, is a new maid in the family. A month ago, after the Su family locked the front door in the middle of the night, she climbed through the window into the villa, intending to enter the villa from her room on the third floor.
Then, damn it, I stumbled upon his secret :)
How annoying.
Su Jinmu blew on the wound on her palm with a pitiful expression.
If the servant becomes the protagonist, and she sleeps with him to drain his energy, will she also encounter such good fortune?
Su Jinmu pouted, recounting the novels she had read. She thought to herself that if a cannon fodder character wanted to change their inevitable fate, they should try to redeem themselves first, regardless of the consequences, and then offer a gentle redemption.
It's raining heavily outside.
Su Jinmu walked out of the music room and stood in front of the window.
"Young Master."
When the old butler saw him, he also noticed the wounds on his hands. Following the Su family's usual rule, he pretended not to see them and stepped forward briskly to inquire.
"The rain is getting heavier. Should we close the door and let Li Xin reflect on his actions outside?"
Su Jinmu: "...?"
Um?
Su Jinmu felt a sharp pain in her palm as a conditioned reflex.
The butler said in a good mood, "Li Xin has been slacking off and hasn't done any work. He's been standing in the rain for over an hour now, and his face is ashen, like a water ghost. It's really funny, hahaha."
He extended an invitation to enjoy the view, "Young Master, you've never liked him, would you like to go to a nearby place to appreciate the scenery?"
Su Jinmu: "..."
"???"
Su Jinmu thought for a while before she remembered something.
Two hours earlier, Su Jinmu, who was still unaware of the danger, asked Li Xin to clear the weeds in the garden before it rained.
The rain was pouring down, and the garden was large, so it was no surprise that Li Xin hadn't finished cleaning, but no one let him inside to take shelter from the rain.
The reason is simple: Young Master Su is shy and kind, and when he's in a good mood, he gives bonuses to the servants, often starting at tens of thousands of yuan. Almost everyone in the Su family has received bonuses, except for Li Xin.
Li Xin doesn't usually interact with people much. He's aloof and taciturn, and when you bump into him, he usually just nods politely. He looks respectable.
But a month ago, for some unknown reason, he suddenly started to bully Su Jinmu frequently, piercing his palm with steel needles and dislocating his ankle on the stairs. His behavior was extremely vicious and terrifying.
The young master was kind and didn't hold a grudge, he just wanted to fire him. After the master and mistress stopped him, Li Xin not only didn't thank them, but also kept staring at the young master with a half-smile.
This beast in human form is despised and loathed by everyone. The servants like the young master's bonuses, so they dislike anyone who opposes him.
Therefore, Li Xin did not have a very pleasant time in the Su family.
However, the innocent and pitiful young master was unaware of these things. He only occasionally saw the people who bullied him slacking off and having bad luck, and when he was in a good mood, he would give them big bonuses.
Su Jinmu innocently blew on the scars on her palm.
"It's raining so hard, and he didn't mean to be lazy. Let him come into the villa quickly, so he doesn't catch a cold." Su Jinmu said softly, her gentle and clear pupils seeming to be immersed in a pool of water.
The butler waved to the outside, and soon someone carrying an umbrella walked out.
"Young Master is too soft-hearted. If it were me, I would definitely let this kind of sly and deceitful person get soaked for three days and three nights."
The butler looked at Su Jinmu with satisfaction and sighed, "The young master is indeed kind-hearted."
Su Jinmu: "..."
He is indeed kind. With such kindness, he will surely be able to clear his name quickly.
The young master touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed, and pressed his full, rosy lips into his mouth, habitually pursing them into a reserved smile.
Turning my head to look outside, I was caught off guard when my eyes met a pair of dark gazes.
Outside the window, the rain was pouring down. A boy was kneeling on the pebble path in the garden, staring intently at the boy in front of the window, his gaze dark and unfathomable.
The rain was torrential. The boy stared at him for who knows how long, meeting his gaze without flinching, and pulled a weed out of his hand as if pulling out his head.
His handsome features stood out even more in the rain, and he slowly raised the corners of his mouth as if he wanted to devour him.
Su Jinmu: "..."
The curve of Su Jinmu's lips slowly disappeared, turning downwards, her smile shifting elsewhere.
Such a fierce look.
How long will it take to clear his name? Or rather, is it even possible to clear his name?
The original text clearly states that although Li Xin is the protagonist, he has many despicable qualities that are even more villainous than those of the villains.
He was handsome and well-mannered, but inside he was a complete devil.
As the heir to the Li family, the protagonist is plotted against by his father and his mistress, and secretly plots to seize power. During his time in hiding, the protagonist is not nervous or fearful at all; on the contrary, he is a completely indifferent and cheerful person.
In order to better enjoy seeing the once vicious and arrogant young master's trembling face after the power grab, they might even inadvertently and deliberately reveal some provocation.
The entrapment provokes the villains to take even more ruthless actions.
Currently, Li Xin has been in the Su family for two months and has been targeted by the other servants for a month.
"..." Troublesome.
Su Jinmu tapped her fingers. "Never mind, let the one with the umbrella come back."
The butler instinctively complied.
Su Jinmu turned and left without looking back, quickly going downstairs. The butler, puzzled, asked, "Where is the young master going?"
Su Jinmu's lips curled up slightly, filled with heartfelt concern, "He was soaked to the bone, so I went to bring him an umbrella myself."
Who told him to be so kind?
Su Jinmu stepped downstairs, her soft hair falling across her forehead, a gentle curve at the corner of her lips.
He originally thought that he would just drive Li Xin out of the Su family, but now it seems that the protagonist, who is full of revenge, will definitely come back to kill him in the future.
So the fastest way to clear your name and keep your secrets is—
Su Jinmu stood in front of the entrance hall, took out one umbrella, and then another.
The Su family bodyguards' specially made black-ribbed umbrellas, with solid metal ribs, can protect against rain and sun, and can even kill.
He held it in his hand and weighed it in his hand; it was heavy. A satisfied smile curved his lips.
The mental hospital has a type of MECT electroconvulsive therapy that causes amnesia after the treatment.
He doesn't kill people, he just knocks them unconscious, then drags them away and shocks them repeatedly. It saves time and effort, and he doesn't have to go through the trouble of whitewashing them.
Su Jinmu was in a good mood. She looked around to make sure no one was watching, hid her little thoughts, bit her lip, and put on an innocent expression like a harmless little lamb.
I opened one umbrella and held it over my head, avoiding the redness and swelling in my palm with the other, and carried the second umbrella, which was tied together, as I walked onto the garden pebble path.
As darkness fell, Li Xin remained kneeling on the ground, pulling weeds.
The boy was very tall, with long, powerful legs that touched the ground with his knees bent. His black clothes were soaked through, revealing the strong, muscular lines of his body.
He was a respectable and aloof person, showing no signs of the perverted man who would later freeze him into an ice cube and admire him day and night.
Su Jinmu walked up behind him.
The sound of rain was noisy, with raindrops pattering against the umbrella. Then the wind and rain stopped overhead, as if I had been enveloped in a quiet little world, with a faint sweet fragrance spreading in the air.
Li Xin raised his head, his eyebrows and eyes etched with raindrops, his nose high and straight, making his half-youthful, half-ghostly face even more alluring. He tilted his head back.
"Young Master."
Li Xin stared at the hypocritical, handsome young man, a half-smile on his face, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "What do you want to do, coming so close to me for the first time?"
