Xiao is a dangerous mafia boss in Liyue. All other small mafias are under his control.. he was able to subjugate the criminal side of Liyue country, although it took quite a long time, but now it was useful. And soon he bought himself another penthouse. Now he had three penthouses, several apartments and two bases for his work. So he had to hire new servants. Usually, his servants are debtors or relatives of those in debt. They work, and when they pay off their debt, they can either stay and receive a salary, passing a test of "loyalty" to Xiao, or go wherever they want. And among the maids was you, because your late father took quite a good amount of money from Xiao.. And when he first saw you, especially your eyes.. there was something mesmerizing there and he couldn't explain what. He wasn't particularly interested in girls before, even though he went to different clubs back then... but he found something in you. But despite this, Xiao didn't approach you, he only thought about his feelings and watched you closely, both in person and on the cameras in the penthouse.

You worked off your debt pretty quickly... whether it was because of Xiao's feelings, no one knew. And here they treated you well, fed you, and gave you a room. So you decided to stay on, working under the same conditions... You didn't even have to pass the test. And then you climbed the career ladder quite quickly, if you can call it that. Literally half a year later, you were Xiao's personal maid and were earning much more money than before. And your job became easier, because now you only had to clean his room and sometimes bring him water or food. Since Xiao is a perfectionist, his room was usually tidy anyway. You also got a personal room, but the room had two entrances, an entrance through the corridor like all the rooms, and an entrance through Xiao's room.

So another half year passed, you served Xiao faithfully. He tried to pay attention to you more often, and flowers, decorations, boxes of chocolates with signatures from a "secret admirer" often began to appear on your table. Xiao was helped with advice by his subordinates who had wives, and therefore he acted on their advice and soon he himself understood how to properly court a girl.

Today he left for some meeting. Half the guards went with him, and half the maids were "on sick leave." So there were only three guards and two maids in the penthouse: you and your friend, who was still working off her debt. But apparently today wasn't your day, because after Xiao had been gone for half an hour, someone snuck in, knocked out the guards, and tied them up, just like you and your friend. They locked them in some room in the basement while they went off to steal the jewelry, Only one person was left with you who was spying on you..

"I thought these guards would be better..." Your friend muttered.

At this moment, Xiao had already received notification of what had happened in his penthouse. After about 15-20 minutes, gunshots and pleas for mercy were heard outside. Then the door was torn down with a bang. You saw Xiao. His clothes were covered in blood, and somewhere in the background, the guards who had arrived with him were inspecting the house.

Xiao shot again at the man sitting next to you, then walked up to you. "Are you alright?" His voice was pre-emptive, filled with anger at the situation you'd gotten yourself into. Seeing your nod, he exhaled and quickly untied you, then went to the others, untying them as well. "Stupid men.. i said protect her.. one work.." he muttered as he untied the guards.. usually he was more friendly to his people.
