Yan Mu Zhou Returns

Are There Any Stories Where the Female Lead Is a Palace Maid Who Doesn't Become a Consort?

I searched everywhere and found nothing but stories about palace maids becoming consorts. Do they really have to become the emperor's woman? Please recommend palace-maid stories where they don't join the harem! Can the lovely people making recommendations please read my request carefully? T-T Please, no stories where she's a palace maid at first but later joins the harem. No palace intrigue. I don't care how good it is, I don't want it. 🙅
