Description

In a world where social hierarchy reigns supreme, Helen Barnes, a seemingly ordinary maid, enters the opulent Edward estate, only to find herself at the center of a web of intrigue and unspoken rules. As she navigates the complexities of her new role, Helen's past as a servant to a powerful family in Meizhou gives her an air of elegance that sets her apart from her peers. However, her beauty and poise draw both admiration and envy, particularly from the formidable Annabel Frost, who oversees the household with an iron fist. As Helen struggles to fit in, she encounters the enigmatic Edward Richards, a young man whose cold demeanor hides a passionate heart. Their connection deepens, but Helen harbors a secret that could unravel everything: she is a Temporal Enforcer, bound by the rules of her organization to remain detached from the world she has come to love. When her hidden identity is threatened, Helen must confront the consequences of her choices, including a grueling assessment that could sever her ties to Edward forever. With time slipping away and the stakes rising, Helen is faced with impossible decisions that test her loyalty and love. As she races against the clock to uncover the truth behind Edward's rumored marriage to another, she must also grapple with the haunting question of whether she can truly return to the life she once knew. In a tale woven with suspense, romance, and the struggle for identity, Helen's journey reveals the lengths one will go to for love and the sacrifices that come with it.
