Wanqing's pov.
All my life, I had never been this privileged. Years back, I was known as the first daughter of the Gu residence. Nothing more, nothing less.
But then, I did something horrible. I committed murder. Well, not technically but you get the point.
It was at that moment they started expecting things from me. I was molded to be the perfect daughter, a perfect ruler, a perfect master but never a lover.
I never knew what distractions meant until I met her. Lin Anning.
My slave. The one who makes me feel things I wasn't supposed to feel.
Seeing those mossy green eyes fixed on me stirred emotions I neither understood nor welcomed. Emotions I had never anticipated and never wished to entertain.
Yet no matter how much I tried to suppress them, they persisted.
When I left months ago without informing anyone, thoughts of the residence rarely crossed my mind. Yet, on occasion, I found myself wondering whether she had adapted to life here.
