Renowned doctor Taylor Lorenson, the son of Alvin Lorenson, naturally grew up with the expectation of becoming a doctor from a very young age. Currently, Taylor, as the son of a famous doctor, is undergoing elite education and is on the path to becoming a doctor who is admirably recognized. However, there was a time in his childhood when he rejected that path.
He doesn’t remember how old he was; maybe around nine or twelve. Something made him angry. Taylor, riding his bicycle in a fit of rage, fell and sat down, blood dripping from his knees. Somehow, he expressed his frustration by uttering those words.
“What’s so great about being a doctor! My father was a doctor, but he couldn’t save my mom. He couldn’t protect the most important person!”
Even though the Brody family favored the Lorenson family, it seemed too much to think that Taylor could act so arrogantly. None of the servants or maids spoke to him. Except for one. Passing by, a young maid similar in age to him stopped, stared at him with curiosity, and then, hesitatingly, handed him a chocolate, silently leaving after that.
That was their first encounter. It was a memory of a child whose sweet chocolate taste spread in his mouth amid his sorrowful crying.
There were many kind children to Taylor. However, what made the maid with the chocolate stand out in his memory was that she never approached him with the friendly kindness or interest that other maids showed him. Taylor’s world was surrounded by people who approached him with interest or kindness.
Every maid came to him first, revealing their names before he could ask. But the maid with the chocolate was the only one whose name he didn’t know. She didn’t approach when everyone else did, didn’t reveal her name even when no one approached, and didn’t say anything or ask to be remembered. She just gave him chocolate.
She was the first one like that.
It was much later when Taylor learned the name of the maid with the chocolate. Holding a mop and a half-filled bucket of water, she pointed to her chin with her finger and asked, “Who are you?”
“Me?”
“Yeah, you.”
Taylor’s world was surrounded by people who approached him with interest or kindness. Everyone he knew among the maids came to him first, even before he could ask; they would tell him their names. However, the chocolate maid was the only maid Taylor didn’t know the name of. When everyone else approached, she didn’t, and when no one approached, she did, but she never revealed her name. She was the only one who gave chocolate, didn’t talk, and didn’t ask to be remembered. That kind of maid was a first for Taylor.
It was later on that Taylor learned the name of the chocolate maid. “Who are you?” The maid, carrying a mop and a bucket of water with only her lower half visible, pointed to her chin with her finger. “Me?” “Yeah, you.” In her clear eyes, with long almond-shaped eyelashes like gentle sunshine, a mysterious feeling arose. She blinked her eyes once and answered, “Raina.” She easily answered, and for some reason, Taylor thought she might not tell him her name, but she did. She wasn’t a difficult person. Raina. Raina. Mulling over the name, Taylor asked one more question, “Where do you work?” “Kitchen.” A kitchen maid, the lowest-ranking maid. The place where they did dishes and the most menial tasks all day long. The kitchen was mainly for new maids or those with no skills. It was also a place to go to when they broke expensive things like pottery or made mistakes because it was the most challenging place. Taylor remembered a maid crying and complaining in front of him because she spilled tea on the mistress’s dress and was sent to the kitchen. Then he felt puzzled again. Kitchen maids often got hurt a lot, so many children approached Taylor, the son of the chief physician, to get ointment or medicine more easily. But why isn’t she interested in me? Doesn’t she know who I am, the son of the chief physician? “I am…” “Yeah, I know. Taylor Lorenson? The chief physician’s son.” “…”
She knows me, so why isn’t she close to me? Young Taylor thought all the maids greeted him and got along with him. This kind of interaction was unfamiliar to him. The chocolate maid asked Taylor, “Is there something you need?” Taylor was perplexed. Why is this maid asking me if there’s something I need? Maids always told me what they needed. When Taylor remained silent, just looking at her, the chocolate maid, glancing in the direction she was going, fixed her bucket and said, “I have to go. I can’t leave it empty for too long.” Then she pointed to the group of other maids on the other side and said, “If you need anything, ask them. They will help you.” Saying that, she walked away, her mop making a soft sound on the floor. It was another strange encounter for Taylor. The chocolate maid gave him chocolate but didn’t ask for anything in return. She didn’t even want to talk or be remembered. Taylor wondered why she was different from other maids.
The almond-shaped deep eyes seemed mysterious. The person blinked only once and responded.
“Reyna.”

One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.

After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”

It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
