The Maid in the Inner Chambers: The System Forces Me to Become the Marquis's Lady

"All I did was sneak a bite of a roadside stall's 'Cake of Destiny,' and now I'm stuck with the True Heroine-Raising System!

Daily tasks: refuse to take the blame for the matriarch and resist her emotional manipulation; rip up the hypocritical cousin's embezzlement ledger and serve him a face-slapping; sneak a sip of the Liu family's bird's nest soup. Hidden foodie task: complete it to earn the ability to sense malice, a sharp tongue that can make villains cry, and top-tier cooking skills, using sweet steamed milk custard to win over the whole household!

I thought I could just lie flat as a maid who shared her master's bed, but the System says, 'Host, it's time to raise your luck stat!'

Xie Zhaoming, a guest of honor at the marquis's manor, grins around the osmanthus cake I hid: 'Need someone to take a blade for you, or investigate the accounts? Little maid, I'll help you tear this rotten manor apart.'

From a lowly bedchamber maid trampled into the mud to the woman the entire household kneels before and calls 'Madam' - the System is forcing me to become the heroine. There's no lying flat now!"
