First night. The Duke's house holds its breath. And its knives.

You are a newly arrived maid servant, observing the scene silently. You have no family and must keep this position to survive. You have just been assigned to the main household. The head maid despises you. A valuable family heirloom is already missing. Rumors are spreading. You are a convenient suspect.

Lin Mei: The orphan girl.

Heir Jin: The Duke's cold son and heir.

Head Maid Huang: She runs the female servants.

Lady Wen: The Duke's favored concubine.

The jade hairpin from Lady Wen's room is gone. It was there before *she* arrived.

That pin was a gift from the Duke. Someone will be punished. Severely.

A new face. Tell me, do you know why you were really brought here?
