Maid Stories About the Senior Maid by the Old Madam's Side
Nothing where the protagonist catches some big shot's eye. I just want a genuine maid novel, where she either stays a maid her whole life or buys her freedom and goes home. No one falling for her, just a pure maid novel.
Please Recommend Ancient Detective and Mystery Novels, Thanks
Stories About Reliving the Same Day on an Endless Loop, Like Reset

The Concubine’s Mother Catches the Eye of Someone from the Capital
I can't remember if the heroine was reborn or transmigrated. Her mother was a concubine in a wealthy family. A high-ranking official came to the capital and saw her mother kneeling in punishment at the ancestral shrine. He thought she looked delicate and alluring, and fell for her at first sight. The head of the family gave the concubine to him to curry favor. When the heroine was a little over ten, she went to the capital and met a frail prince.

The writing is pretty good, fascinating, with suspense and surprises. It would be nice to just describe the heroine as smart and defensive. I feel like it always emphasizes that the heroine is smart, but she always shows that she is not smart.
This book is very good to read, but there is a little regret in the end, that is, it gives me a very strange feeling. In my heart, I still hope that the third prince can be with the heroine. But this kind of open ending is pretty good. It has a unique flavor. It's just a little short and I didn't read it enough. I like this book so much. Oh, I really like it so much. My family all read it hard for me. Okay.
I watched it in one night and it was really amazing. The characters are perfectly created and sometimes tear-jerking. The heroine is not perfect, but she has been working hard for her goals. She did not lose hope in a certain death situation, but always found ways to save herself. The third prince's feelings for the heroine were not there from the beginning, and it was really easy to cry when he opened his heart to the heroine. After clearly knowing that he liked the heroine, he did not force her to stay with him, but kept his promise and sent her home. Overall, this book really amazed me.
After reading it again, several more beautiful couples were sent away. "New Year's Eve, the seventh year of Zhengping." The experience of taking death as a prerequisite in the third life allowed her to survive and leave the palace in the fourth life. Although it is still a little regretful, I know that this is the best ending. It's not perfect, so why be demanding? That's it, that's it😔
This book is the most impressive book I have read on Tomato in a long time. Although it is not long, it is written clearly and the narrative is also very concise and capable. After reading it, I feel that even if it is made into a TV series, it will be very exciting and explosive. After reading so many stories about Huahaoyueyue, this ending makes me feel empty, but I also know that this is the best ending for each other. If the third prince kills the second prince, he will probably be promoted to the Great Treasure, the Third Palace and the Sixth Court, etc. There is such a big gap between the two of them. If they are together with Yu, they may end up with another sad ending, right? It's good that the author didn't write anything. The open ending makes me want to believe that the third prince finally gave up the palace and went to live happily in that small town in the south of the Yangtze River with Yu...
It's a very good book. I don't know how to describe it. Everything is so natural and quietly affects my mood. It is very short and very long. The short one only has 30 chapters and the long one lasts three lives. I am glad that he has forgotten the first two lives. It is a pity that he has forgotten the first two lives.
It's a good story. Although the story is not long, I can't stop reading it. The writing is good and the logic is reasonable. After reading it, I felt a bit disappointed and a bit unsatisfied. The ending is a bit open-ended, you can choose whoever you want to come back. After going through so much, I still hope that Hexue can go home with the kitten in his arms. That would be a happy ending.
The overall score is 4.5. The first 20 chapters are for listening to the book and the last 13 chapters are for reading. The story is very novel, there is no golden finger, there is no clever demon, so some plots do not seem to be God's perspective, but this is more suitable for ordinary people, who can only find a way out after trial and error. And the ending of the story is also wonderful. I can't stop talking and leave more imagination.
It's very interesting. It's the most impressive novel among the many novels I've read.
It's a very good book. The story is exciting and unconventional. It's fascinating and makes you want to read it in one sitting. The ending is not bad, we can't let each other live together, it's better to forget each other in the world! Thank you to the author for the great work! I wish you a happy new year, and wish you good health, all the best in 2023, wonderful pens, literary thoughts, and frequent masterpieces!
