t.i.tle: The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter: 002 out of 513 - A Strange Dream (2)

Muxu pulled back her hand. Her body trembled for a few moments as she continued kneeling next to the dressing table. She didn't dare to speak.

Ji Man happily went to the bed to sleep.

However, the dream felt too realistic. She even smelled the incense in the room and the soft and warm blanket made it easy to fall asleep.

Just when she was about to dazedly fall asleep, she heard a loud sound. Someone slammed opened the doors and stood at the doorway to shout, ”Master Sangyu, the marquis wants you to come to the receiving room. The new madam has already arrived. You can't avoid this by hiding.”

This voice was really unpleasant to hear. Ji Man forced herself to open her eyes and sat up to see an older servant that was wearing a blue b.u.t.toned jacket. She remembered this older servant. She had been sent here the empress to take care of the marquis's daily life activities. Her last name was Liu.

Ji Man rubbed her head and in an unhappy tone, she said, ”Are there servants like you who shout at their masters?”

Even if she was only dreaming, she wasn't someone that was easily bullied. Nie Sangyu was a failure as a person. She had just been given white cloth to hang herself* and now someone was treating her badly when she was already in a sorry situation. She could see that Nie Sangyu didn't enjoy popular support.

* (T/N: Just in case it's confusing. The white cloth part is where Ji Man stopped reading the story. She hasn't realized yet that she's starting at the beginning of the story.)

The older female servant froze for a moment in surprise. Then, her furrowed eyebrows showed her disdain as she said, ”Master Sangyu, I was only being polite by calling you master and to also show respect that you were once the marquis's wife. Right now, you're only a concubine without any status. And you're still trying to act as if you have your previous status?”

Ji Man narrowed her eyes. She sat on the bed for a while to think things through.

Nie Sangyu had become a concubine? She vaguely remembered reading this. She had skimmed through half of the book. When the male lead was marrying the female lead, the male lead had demoted her to a concubine because she had been jealous and failed to see the larger issue.

So, why had she woken up as the unlucky second female lead? Ji Man sat there blankly.
