My Maid Stole My Fiancé, But I Stole Back My Fate

In the capital a match like this is settled between households, and Jennifer Nolan, a general's daughter, is promised to Michael on the strength of his placing first in the imperial examinations. She has already lived the rest of it once. Bridget, her personal maid, went in with Michael against her, the family was ruined, and Jennifer ended up in a frozen lake with the pair of them. Then she opens her eyes on the day the engagement is arranged, before any of it has happened. This time she says in front of the assembled guests that Bridget is carrying a child, and she gives Michael to her. The two of them are left to make their own way on very little. Jennifer had a name across the capital for her learning before the marriage was ever discussed, and she means to have that standing returned and the betrayal answered for. Michael thinks a great deal of himself and reads all of it as a woman who cannot accept being set aside.
