Author's Note
First of all, thank you so much for giving this story a chance! Before we dive in, I'd like to share a few quick disclaimers:
Cultural Context: I am Filipino and still learning about Chinese traditions and history. While I've done my best to research, please keep in mind that this is a work of fiction. I apologize in advance for any inaccuracies!
Work in Progress: You might encounter some grammatical errors or "cringe" moments-I'm learning as I go, and I appreciate your patience!
I've put a lot of heart into this, and I hope you find the journey of Li Xiu and Han Xin interesting!
~~Love, love, love.

Xi Kai: The Duke's trusted right hand-and the #1 shipper of the Duke and the real female lead.
Yiyi: Li Xiu's loyal and devoted maid.
Bai Guo: The Duke's head servant; arrogant, snobbish, and definitely not here to make friends.
