The portrayal of family, love, and friendship is very touching. ✨② Reborn as a second-class maidservant, exiled by her master, she embarks on a journey of farming, business, infrastructure development, and political maneuvering, becoming the richest woman in the country.

    The first book features an agricultural college student who transmigrates into a maidservant, works hard to buy her freedom, and returns to her village to farm with her family. Because of her natural talent for farming, she excels. The romance is a bit too sweet, which might explain its lower score. The second book has a female protagonist who makes spicy snacks in a noble household; it's a food-themed story, and later her family buys their freedom and opens a shop. Side stories involve observing the daily lives of a noble family's illegitimate son, such as the illegitimate son's affair with the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official. The third book features a female protagonist who is born into a wealthy household; she wasn't originally supposed to be a maidservant but was forced into it for various reasons.

    The first book is about a girl who transmigrates into the body of a maid. The female lead is incredibly shrewd and perceptive; even when she refuses, she doesn't leave any room for criticism. Her way of speaking is the kind that elders adore. The story is very simple and understated, like a gentle stream. The author vividly portrays many characters, each with their own qualities. I feel like everyone in this book is a protagonist! There aren't many disgusting things. The female lead mainly focuses on earning money to buy land (serving an old lady) and the male lead (who, like the female lead, grows step by step, not through some arrogant or domineering persona). It made me, someone who never reads the same novel twice, seriously reread it!! I love it so much!! The second book [shy] is also exceptionally good! I've already written so much, I don't want to type anymore [awkward laugh], so I'll just briefly mention it!! The female lead is a modern girl who transmigrates to ancient times, born on a journey of escape from famine, and possesses a spatial ability! She's raised by her grandmother from birth! She still has several uncles and brothers, and as the only girl, she endures countless hardships on the journey, and her family rises in rank and status! I won't spoil too much, but I just love watching them work their way up step by step, their words and actions, their steady and persistent progress!

    The first two are simple farming novels, without any special abilities or spatial abilities. The female protagonists are very hardworking and always thinking about improving their lives. Their romance with the male protagonist is a slow and steady kind of story. The third book is a maid's rebirth novel. She has a spatial ability. The female protagonist is reborn back in the countryside and is childhood sweethearts with the male protagonist. After returning to her hometown, she uses her knowledge of a wealthy family to help the whole family become rich.
