The protagonist, a reborn hereditary maid who originally accompanied the Prime Minister's daughter as part of her dowry. In her previous life, she strived and fought for a lifetime only to end up disfigured, sold to a brothel, and left to rot. After death, she learned she was a character in a novel and read it repeatedly, memorizing reader comments. She is sharp, slick, and eloquent but wears her calculations plainly on her face. She is illiterate. After rebirth, she quickly regains composure and shifts her allegiance to the new Crown Princess Consort Lin Wan, who is actually a time-traveling history teacher. She pretends to be subdued after a past beating to adapt to her new master.
