    This character is indeed a maid; she goes home after only a few chapters and her life gets better and better, and she certainly has her own space. There is a male lead, and the romance isn't too much. I think the marriage at the end is just right, and it doesn't get tedious. She has a grandmother, second aunt, second uncle, and younger brother and sister-in-law, which I think is quite nice. There's no royalty or nobility involved.
