The Frail and Helpless Little Blind Lady

Synopsis: Yuan Yingti, the legitimate daughter of the Yong’an Marquis’s residence, was born into nobility. Unfortunately, she was blind. Rumor had it that she possessed the beauty of an immortal, with a face like jade and a figure of incomparable grace—a rare beauty unlike any other in the world. One day, several street thugs were drinking in a tavern when they made a wager. Whoever lost would have to go personally to the Marquis’s residence and see for himself just how beautiful Yuan Yingti truly was. When the wager was settled, the thug sitting at the head of the table lost. His name was Xie Zhi, and he had an exceptionally handsome face. Amid everyone’s jeering and cheering, he was a man of his word. That very day, he disguised himself as a stable boy and slipped into the Yong’an Marquis’s residence. Unfortunately, this happened to be the very day disaster struck. An imperial decree descended, bringing catastrophe upon the Yong’an Marquis’s household. Soldiers stormed the estate, setting fires, killing, and looting. Xie Zhi was hiding in the stables. Just as he was preparing to leave, a figure came stumbling toward him from the distance. A beautiful woman. She was blind—utterly blind—and breathtakingly beautiful. She staggered straight into him and clutched his arm tightly. “Are you the stable boy A-Nu? Mama told me to find you. She said you could take me away.” Xie Zhi lowered his head and glanced at the nameplate around his waist. Two characters were engraved upon it: A-Nu. Oh. So the stable boy whose clothes he’d just stolen after knocking him unconscious was called A-Nu. The beauty was trembling with terror, tears streaming down her cheeks. She was so pitiful that anyone who saw her would ache for her. Xie Zhi stared at her for a long while. Then he stuffed her into a carriage and took her out of the Marquis’s residence. … One imperial decree left Yuan Yingti orphaned and homeless. She fled with the stable boy and eventually hid away in a small town. The town was surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear streams, with flowers blooming everywhere. The strong stable boy fetched water and cooked for her. He washed her clothes and even washed her hair, tending to the pampered young lady until she was completely spoiled by his care. The stable boy wasn’t much of a talker, but he was extremely particular about cleanliness. At night, he often took cold baths again and again. Yuan Yingti liked him very much. She often praised him for being a good man. … Taking advantage of the fact that Yuan Yingti couldn’t see, Xie Zhi shamelessly watched her every day. The longer they lived together, the more he realized that this pampered young lady, who appeared to have been raised in luxury, was actually timid and obedient. She never resisted. It was almost as though she were constantly tempting him… As if he could do anything he wanted to her. And a shameless rogue like him— How was he supposed to resist such temptation? — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Frail and Helpless Little Blind Lady — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
