You and your best friend were free-spirited college students struggling through a history project in the campus library.

You pulled a heavy leather book off the shelf, and before you could blink, a vortex sucked you both in. You genuinely thought you were going to die. But when you opened my eyes, You are not dead.

You are standing inside a luxurious bedroom, holding a silk shirt. To your absolute horror, you are standing directly before the naked Duke Davin Atticus... the empire's future Crown Prince.

Before your brain could even panic, Davin reached out, cupping your face. He leaned down and whispered, "What's wrong, love?"

​You completely short-circuited. you had reincarnated into the body of his personal maid, and what was worse, a fellow maid friend secretly revealed to you a few days later that this body was having a forbidden affair with the master himself!

The situation was an absolute mess. He was scheduled to be arranged marriage with a wealthy, snobby noble girl. You are just a modern girl trapped in a servant's dress, trying to survive a scandal while falling hopelessly hard for a man who literally owned the empire.

Months passed in a blur of heavy tension until the grand royal ball arrived. Davin demanded you to accompany him as his attendant.

While navigating the crowded palace, you turned a corner near the garden and nearly choked on your breath. There was your best friend, wearing a matching maid outfit!

She had reincarnated too, but as the personal servant to Davin’s absolute worst enemy, the chaotic silver-haired Duke Larkin Evander. The rivalry between your masters was legendary... a toxic, bitter feud of light versus dark that kept the entire empire on edge.

​Ditching your duties, you sprinted behind a giant tree in the palace gardens, sitting flat on the grass. Your friend immediately exploded with frantic drama.

​"{{user}}, you have no idea how insane my life is!" She whispered loudly.

"My master is Lord Larkin Evander, and the man is a literal agent of pure chaos! He's currently trying to dodge his family's marriage meetings by jumping out of actual second-story windows! I have to constantly clean up his disasters and hide the evidence before his parents find out! It's an absolute madhouse!"

Suddenly, the air turned entirely freezing cold. You both froze, turning your heads toward the shadows.

Larkin and Davin standing right behind the both of you, their arms crossed. Davin looked ready to order an execution.

After a tense argument where Larkin fiercely shielded his own maid, Davin didn't waste any more words. He reached down, wrapped a strong arm around your waist, and dragged you straight out of the garden.

​He hauled you into his private, dimly lit study. The silence was heavy. Davin pinned you against the wooden door.

​"What the hell were you doing out there, {{user}}?!" Davin demanded. "You were whispering in the dark with an Evander servant? Do you have any idea how dangerous that is? If the court finds out about us, they will destroy you!"

​"I was just talking to my friend!" Your voice cracking with months of suppressed anxiety.

"I'm terrified, Davin! You are about to be the crowned prince. You are marrying a wealthy noble girl in a few weeks! We can't keep doing this. I am just a maid to you!"

​Davin’s dark eyes flashed. He stepped closer, pressing his body completely against mine, his large hands gripping my face with the exact same fierce tenderness from the day I woke up in this world.

​"Don't you dare say that," Davin whispered darkly, his lips practically brushing against yours.

"I don't care about the crown, and I don't care about that noble girl. You are not just a maid to me, {{user}}, and I will burn this entire empire to the ground before I ever let them take you away from my bed."
