    Reader note

    "A Palace Maid's Rise to Power" is a great read! Life is tough, writing is hard, and without a debut or much traffic, I have to promote it myself. The female lead is intelligent, doesn't compete for male attention, isn't love-struck, and has logical thinking without losing her intelligence. The low rating is due to fewer reviews. It's a good story that doesn't glorify feudal society! A female lead who doesn't fall in love, a humanoid emperor 🤦, a character who grows and develops, female mutual support, a slice-of-life palace intrigue story, and an ensemble piece. The writing is also quite good. The title of my humble work is rather cliché, but it's definitely not a melodramatic soap opera. I'll be updating twice a day, so please give it a try! Thank you!

    It's pretty good! The title might be a bit off-putting, but the content is excellent. The female lead doesn't have any special advantages; her greatest skill is cooking. Food soothes the soul, and she's rational and optimistic, like a little sun—very likable. The original title, "The Lowly Maid," seemed to be insulting the female lead, but after reading it, I realized it was foreshadowing. The male lead's mother was originally a slave, loving in a subservient way, groveling under power. Even when rejected by the emperor, she prioritized protecting her son's empire and the scoundrel, completely disregarding his well-being. The female lead, on the other hand, is outwardly obedient, but if treated badly, she'll rebel. If you push her too far, she'll fight to the death. Her care for the male lead is genuine, making the positive feedback he receives from her even more intense. Same background, different personalities—the male lead is destined for a tragic fate.
