Jin Yun always feels cold when dawn approaches, so she is used to seeking a warm embrace. But today is destined to be disappointing, because although Situ Ping came, he really just came to listen to her play the piano and left. So she spent another lonely night. Situ always gives the maid money and forbids others to come find her after he leaves, but that’s not what Jin Yun wants. She wants more. She loved him, and she hoped so much that he would desire her body as much as those wretched guests did. But he didn’t. He just used her as a cover. He wasn’t interested in women at all. He only liked his cousin.
In a dynasty where men could be more delicate-looking than women, what could a little courtesan like her do? Her beloved man had fallen for another man, and she could only watch helplessly. What else could she do? Lord Qin had wanted to buy her freedom and give her to Situ as a concubine for his birthday, but Situ Ping had firmly refused. He said that Jin Yun was not suitable to live in the Situ residence and that she should find a better man. The last time she spent the night at the Situ residence, she noticed that the servants and maids were cold towards her, but were all over the young master. But she had clearly seen a woman in the young master’s room last time, so did Situ not know and not mind?
If a piano string breaks, it can be replaced, but if a relationship breaks down, can it be mended? Jin Yun shed tears. She didn’t know what to do. People say that prostitutes are heartless, but she really liked Situ, so what was her fault? But Situ was growing increasingly indifferent to her. Ever since something happened at the Situ residence last time, and his cousin was injured, he stopped coming here. It was said that he stayed at home every day with his cousin. Jin Yun had wanted to take the opportunity to go and see the rival, to find out what was going on, but she didn’t even get to see Situ. The servants said that Situ insisted on taking care of his young master himself, and no one else was even allowed near the house. Did that young master really deserve this from Situ? Why couldn’t he see her beauty and gentleness? She hated him, but what could she do? She heard that the young master had become the adopted son of the Qin family and the second head of the family. The jade masters in the entire town were all in awe of him. So young master Qin never mentioned buying her freedom and sending her to the Situ family again.
