After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

He had seen one of the women before; she was the girl who had led him upstairs last time. Her name was something like Huaping, and she was Manager Ye's maid.

The other woman was wearing a veil so he couldn't see her face. He heard that she had also passed the manuscript, just like him, and that she had come when she heard that Manager Ye wanted to make dumplings.

Apart from Uncle Li and Huaping in the courtyard, he didn't recognize anyone else.

But he wasn't a talkative person; he took the sample book that Ye Yuwu handed him.

He was stunned before he even opened it. The cover of the book was so exquisite and unique. The bottom of the cover was painted with a mountain bird, and on the mountain bird, there was a lifelike painting of a graceful woman, as if she were leaping off the paper.

That's right, the woman was drawn by Ye Yuwu herself; she had previously taught herself sketching.

At first, she used charcoal to draw, and the effect was quite realistic, but her hands would easily get covered in charcoal when she touched it.

This is not okay.

So she tried to draw sketches with a brush, but she wasn't used to it at first and couldn't get the hang of it.

Moreover, if a certain place is drawn incorrectly, it can only be redrawn.

After practicing for a few days, he actually managed to draw it for her. Uncle Li had good handwriting, so he was in charge of writing the magazine title on the cover.

Everything is done, and all that's left is to "copy and paste," but drawing more than thirty pictures is quite a task.

But there's no better solution right now, so she can only keep drawing it herself.

So Li Bo and the others were in charge of copying in the backyard, while Ye Yuwu was at the desk in front of the bookstore, looking at the books and drawing at the same time.

Guan Yan knew none of this; he only noticed that the book cover read "The First Issue in a Square Inch".

This is the title of this book/journal.

Within a small space, it appears square, but in reality, it is boundless.

Not only Guan Yan was shocked by this unusual book cover, but everyone present, except for Li Bo and Hua Ping who had seen the book cover before, was also astonished by it.

After a short while, they regained their composure, remembered their task, and sat up straight, opening the first page of the book to begin copying.

As they copied the book, they couldn't help but get engrossed in it. Although the stories weren't ornate, they were tightly plotted and the text was concise, making them very comfortable to read and suitable for everyone.

Guan Yan had a premonition that this book would definitely be a hit.

But when he copied the last story, he was stunned.

What is "The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with His Little Maid"?

He successfully caught Guan Yan's attention, and he quickly started writing.

The people present copied the name at roughly the same speed, and one after another, people saw the straightforward and shameful name and were all drawn to it.

They couldn't wait to start copying it down.

The story begins with a young maid named Tan Wushuang who was bought into the Gongqing Prince's Mansion as a maid because her father was a gambler.

Then, the steward arranged for her to work as a kitchen maid in the Prince's mansion. Tan Wushuang worked diligently in the kitchen every day, hoping that one day she could redeem herself and leave the mansion.

However, her beauty was too striking in the smoky and dark kitchen, and she was soon targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

One day, as she was adding firewood to the stove, her maid Xiao Cui, who was also in the kitchen, clutched her stomach and asked her for help.

Xiao Cui is mainly responsible for serving dishes in the kitchen. Today, the prince returned to the manor early, but she is in severe stomach pain and can only ask Wu Shuang for help.

Seeing that she was really in pain, Wu Shuang agreed.

As soon as Xiao Cui left, she took the cooked food and headed towards the place she had mentioned.

Since she had been working in the kitchen since entering the mansion, she was not very familiar with the layout of the mansion, so she went to the place Xiao Cui told her to go.

Little did she know that all of this was arranged by someone. The prince was hungover after returning from the palace, so why would he order food?!

Wu Shuang, naive and unaware that she was being targeted and plotted against, foolishly counted money for someone else. However, the person behind the scenes probably did not expect that Wu Shuang would get lost, and she actually stumbled upon the outside of the Prince Gongqing's bedroom in the Prince Gongqing's mansion.

Prince Gongqing, Gu Xuanye, is the king of hell and a demon of the current dynasty. He is incomparably handsome, with a face like a jade crown, but he is cold-hearted and keeps people at arm's length. Most importantly, he has severe mysophobia and hates anyone getting close to him. Therefore, his backyard is very clean and there is not a single woman in it.

Because he had been stationed at the border for many years, he exuded a menacing aura, and the noble ladies of Bianjing dared not even look him in the eye.

Seeing that the doors and windows of the sleeping quarters were tightly closed, and there was no one around or any lights on, Wu Shuang could only tentatively knock on the door, but there was no response from inside.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard the sound of things falling to the ground and breaking inside the hall.

Fearing something had happened inside, Wu Shuang hurriedly pushed open the door. Upon entering the hall, she could see nothing but darkness.

She mustered her courage and called out "Your Highness," then tentatively and slowly ventured deeper into the area.

But the hall was too quiet; the only sound was her footsteps.

Suddenly, a pair of strong, hot hands grabbed her wrists.

She tried to scream in terror, but before she could, another hand covered her mouth, and the dishes she was holding fell to the ground.

Then she was tackled to the ground.

By the moonlight, she saw the face of the culprit who was holding her. It was Prince Gongqing. She had just caught a glimpse of the prince's face when she entered the mansion.

He seemed drunk, muttering something that Wu Shuang didn't hear, but soon all her breath was taken away.

As she watched the handsome face loom larger and larger, the sensation on her lips told her that what she was seeing was real.

Wu Shuang's beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened suddenly, looking incredulous.

But she reacted quickly and slapped him across the face, turning his face to the side, and his previously hazy consciousness gradually cleared.

Only after delivering that slap did Wu Shuang begin to feel fear.

The man's silence only made Wu Shuang more frightened; her eyes reddened and her body trembled.

The man sneered and grabbed her wrist. "Who sent you?"

He gripped too tightly, and Wu Shuang's wrist ached. "No one sent me here, Your Highness. I only came here to serve you dishes."

"Do you think I'd believe that? I didn't order anyone to serve the food!"

Wu Shuang tried to break free, but he held her down firmly. "Whether Your Highness believes it or not, I was indeed entrusted by someone to serve Your Highness dishes in the palace."

Seeing that he had no intention of letting go, Wu Shuang became fierce and bit his arm. The man felt the pain and loosened his grip, allowing her to escape.

Seeing her fleeing in a panic, the man did not chase after her.

Because he had just sobered up and was slow to react, he forgot to call for help, and she actually managed to run back to her servants' quarters.

Gu Xuanye gazed intently at the figure disappearing into the night, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips. "Interesting."

Wu Shuang ran back to the servants' quarters, still shaken. She thought about what she had just done and felt uneasy. She also remembered the evaluation of her by the noble ladies in the capital: ruthless and vindictive.

She was filled with sorrow and always felt that her life was coming to an end, so much so that when Xiao Cui came back and asked her where she had gone, she didn't take it to heart and speculate.

And so, with a heart full of trepidation, the next day arrived.

When the steward came to the courtyard early in the morning and transferred Wushuang to serve in front of the palace, Wushuang's vision went black, and she knew that she was probably going to suffer inhuman torture.

Since she was going to die anyway, when the steward led her to the prince, she showed no fear or hesitation, only a desire to die quickly.
