The Duke's Estate Maid

Su Liyue was a low-ranking maid in the Duke's mansion, not even qualified for the ranks of household maids.

She had no interest in climbing the social ladder. She just wanted to leave the mansion and live a quiet life.

After hearing that only first-class maids could buy their freedom, she rushed into the main kitchen and embarked on a difficult journey up the ranks.

She made sweet soups, prepared pastries, cooked elaborate dishes, bought farmland, rented a butcher shop, and tended the ancestral shrine.

As the women of the Duke's household fought bitterly among themselves, Liyue finally worked her way up from a low-ranking maid to a first-class one.

But when she looked back, she saw that the century-old Duke's mansion was slowly falling into decline.

Fortunately, Liyue had already bought her freedom. She opened a restaurant and became its owner, living comfortably all the same.

As for those down-on-their-luck heirs, scheming princes, and rugged generals, it didn't matter how intently they eyed her.

Liyue was no longer a little maid in the Duke's mansion!
