The Maid Who Runs the Household

Author, don't be so fixated on the "both are virgins" trope. Just write a story where the female lead has a child with the second male lead, then the second male lead dies and she marries the male lead with the child. Perfect! Many novels have this kind of plot, so why make way for the male lead?

I've read several historical romance novels where the protagonist transmigrates into a maid, but I couldn't get into any of them. This one is a bit different; the writing is decent, and I'm even considering following it. However, the female lead's character is a bit unscrupulous, and the characters, including the supporting ones, all exude an uncomfortable, petty, and mean-spirited quality.

A stupid boss, foolish colleagues, an unexpected scapegoat, and inexplicable misfortune. At first glance, it seems like a story of infighting among homebodies, but upon closer inspection, it reveals the blood and tears of working-class people caught in the cracks of the workplace.

This is supposed to be a "face-slapping, satisfying" novel? Someone spits phlegm in his face, and he's still alive after 200 chapters. I don't see the satisfaction in that. If it's not a "satisfying" novel, don't label it like that. It's frustrating to read.

The first few dozen chapters were really well-written, but the later plot became increasingly disgusting. This author really knows how to make people sick; one unexpected situation after another, various matriarchs, old ladies, heirs, scholars, and the leader of the second branch all breaking their promises, their words as worthless as farts.

It was so frustrating to watch. I'm leaving.

Is the guy surnamed Fu the male lead?! I really want to kill him!

The novel's opening plot was engaging and somewhat acceptable, but it became increasingly verbose after only a few chapters. The empire's most accomplished general, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and the top warrior, is living in the inner quarters of the main house with only two attendants, working alongside the scheming young mistress and maid (the transmigrated female…

It's so hard to follow along. They just keep dragging things down, and all the female characters get happy endings? None of them do. One of the guys even lost her own brother. Even as a male reader, I feel this is unnecessary and forced. They keep their savior as a slave, and they want to silence someone who knows their secrets? It's so disjointed! Right now, there isn't a single good person.

As the title suggests. A kind maid colleague of the female lead is forced to become the concubine of a scumbag, who actually has his eye on the female lead. The female lead's brother gambles so much that he sells his own sister, and her widowed mother is indecisive and has no ability to support herself (which is very unreasonable, as widowed women are usually more resilient, even in modern times).
