a eunuch blew the horn in the servant qtrs waking up all the servants. in a tiny room lay a short petite girl that had red hair and pale brown lips. she was chubby and average looking. her eyes were big and so were her lips.opposite her was a uniform neatly hanged .the girl whose name was bai youyue was deeply asleep. she did not hear the sound as she was having dreams of marrying her prince charming. she smiled and tried to grasp onto the air. suddenly the door opened and a pretty girl of 1.6meters came in with a whip. seeing the chubb girl still lying on the bed she frowned and began to whip youyue who awoke immediately.she dared not yell or her punishment would be double.this was not the first time she experienced it and nor was it going to be the last. she was the servant to servants , made to do the ugliest tasks. it's even a wonder how she remained chubby.when the girl was done weeping , she left the room after youyue said

"thank you madam for correcting me. this shall never happen again."

when the young madam had left youyue got up slowly. her whole body ached. she did not even have medicine. the water she normally bathes was ice cold. even in the winter, the best she could get was lukewarm water.she sighed and stood up ,snatched a small pail and forced her aching body out of the tiny room.she was heading for the well 30 minutes away from her room. it was currently 2:oo am in the morning and she had slept by 12:00 am . one day i will be free from all this. just 4 years more and i'll get enough to fend for my self.she said with determination. on getting to her destination she saw a long queue of servants who wanted to get water. she sighed and stood behind the last man.

"it seems i will not have a bath today"she said dejectedly in her heart.

if she couldn't have a bath today, then it would make it four days since she ever had a bath. and by her prediction it would be her monthly cycle today.

"how am i going to survive?i'm already this filthy.what will i do?"she thought close to tears.
