Preface

Because her mom worked as a live-in housekeeper at the Yin family home, Snow Yang had no choice but to live under the same roof as Lucius Yin.

He was cold, arrogant, and never once gave her a kind look.

To make things easier for her mom, Snow offered to help—cooking, doing laundry, even cleaning for Lucius.

One of his friends once joked she was like a “child bride.”

Lucius just gave a cold chuckle.

“Her? Not a chance.”

More than anything, Snow dreamed her mom would quit that job, just so she wouldn’t have to see that jerk ever again.

She even wished on her birthday that Lucius would get a taste of misfortune.

But she never thought her wish would actually come true.

Lucius’s dad’s mistress—who was secretly pregnant—showed up out of nowhere.

His dad decided to divorce and remarry.

Only then did Lucius find out: he wasn’t even his dad’s biological son.

He was actually the child of his mom and her first love.

Overnight, the “prince” was cast out.

His mom left for overseas to “heal,” abandoning him.

And Snow’s mom finally quit working for the Yin family.

But maybe out of kindness—or pity—Snow’s mom brought Lucius home to stay.

Now the tables had turned.

The one living under someone else’s roof… was Lucius.

Snow finally got to hold her head high, ordering this fallen young master around like a pro:

“Lucius! I want grapes! Go wash them for me!”

“Lucius, I’m done eating. You better do the dishes!”

She never expected that one day, blinded by his face and charm, she’d go too far in “taking care” of him…

And she really didn’t expect that the fallen prince could rise again.

Turns out, Lucius’s real dad? Filthy rich.

Like, a hundred times richer than the last one.

Not long after reclaiming his throne, Lucius came to find her—pulling up in a Rolls-Royce, face as cold and handsome as ever.

Snow braced for revenge, but instead she heard him say:

“The grapes are washed. Get in the car and eat them yourself.”

Still cold as ever, he added:

“If you’re hungry, hurry up and come home. I’ll cook.”

“Aren’t you my child bride? Why are you running? Don’t tell me you messed with me and now you don’t want to take responsibility.”

Snow: …

Cold-faced prince with a sharp tongue × 😼 Soft but scrappy kitten who always talks back
