Family Treated Me as a Servant, But I Married a CEO Who Dotes on Me

Lin Xiaoman was a "free servant" to her son-preferring parents—washing clothes, cooking, and funding her brother’s education. They even tried to marry her to a lame rich man for a bride price. She fled at night and worked at a coffee shop, where she helped CEO Gu Jingshen defuse a customer dispute. Gu was drawn to her resilience, approaching gently: sending burn ointment, shielding her from her brother’s harassment, and filling her birthday with her favorite hydrangeas. When Xiaoman opened up, Gu pulled out a ring: "I don’t want you as a servant—I want you as my lifelong treasure." When her family came to leech off her, Xiaoman held Gu’s hand and smiled: "Now it’s my turn to choose whether to recognize you."
