Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

First of all, this is not a story where the cannon fodder chambermaid counterattacks and gives the main wife a beat-down!

As a lowly s*ave who had been sold a total of six times, Xiao Hua has long become apathetic to her situation.

In her past life, she was a cannon fodder chambermaid who was beaten to death. In this life, she decided to turn over a new leaf and live honestly, yet in the end still ended up being sold off.

This prince’s estate seems to have pretty good benefits? She could be released at twenty-five, and they’d arrange a place for her to live under their jurisdiction? They’d even get rid of her s*ave records?

Great! That’s great! Xiao Hua thus decided to stay in the Jing Prince Estate and do her job properly. It’s a shame she could never overcome the whims of fate….

The master she serves is a “mute boy”, with several influences above him watching like tigers eyeing their prey. To say she doesn’t want to be pampered is definitely a lie. This is the road to survival of a “discreet girl” who clings on to her master’s leg and is solely pampered, yet feels that he never pampers her.

The road from a cannon fodder chambermaid to a beloved imperial consort is a little long….

I enjoyed the novel and the side stories were also good.

The MC is most of the time level-headed and knew her position... there were setbacks in her personality but she was still good FL who liked to live peacefully and didn't do evil schemes as long as villains didn't hurt her loved ones.

At first, I have reservations against ML. He felt so wooden and lifeless, but after many chapters, you'll realized that his past impacted him alot. He pampered the MC alot and only got relationship with her despite having... more>> harem. I like his character development (personality-wise and sexually/intimately LMAO).

In later chapters, I realized that despite being close, MC and ML didn't fully trust each despite being sweet and full of pampering. However, I like the development of their relationship.

I disliked that there were many canon-fodders and sacrificial lambs but it needed for the leads to live peacefully and cutting out further dramas. As a reader, I can't fully hate some villains bc the author didn't wrote them as human who were not fully evil.

I also disliked that the rebirth of both leads were not opened up with each other. Despite many rebirthed characters and one transmigrated, all of them kept it secret to each other.

I appreciated alot the side story of Ruan Siyi and Qiao-shi. They made me emotional and nearly forgot the main story. <<less

A great story wherein the author actually researched on stuff like

Xiao Hua's pregnancy/labour

and it set a surprisingly realistic pace of romantic development for the MC and ML.

Do take note of the tags if you are uncomfortable with "rape".

Although how the author developed the story afterwards was good as it would make you forget how their relationship even started as they became very lovey-dovey with each other in the latter parts of the novel.

Just give it a try with an open mind. (This is set in ancient China after all so the culture was very different back then.) <<less

Pretty good read that's able to write a consistently good story with well rounded characters and side characters. Although there's the going back in time aspect, the story is more realistic for me instead of a face slapping revenge story. The translation quality is also very good. When it was updating daily, I looked forward to reading it during my break.

Hidden under estimated story about a reborn little maid who just wanted to live quietly but end up as a concubine for an inexperienced, low EQ, unfavored reborn prince. ... more>>

Actually the little maid (FL) did not plan to become a concubine but planed to work as a servant until the age of 25 before being release, it was the prince's (ML) personal eunuch who set her up, so yes for her first time with the prince she was forced

[collapse]

At first I was also disappointed because the ML truly force himself on her at first, but at the same time it is "not surprising" with the plot setting: the FL is not OP, doesn't have golden finger or amazing skill, apart for being reborn hence having experienced harem fight, she is pretty normal and just hope to live quietly unnoticed. Considering the ML's difficult childhood and bad experience with women in his past life, no wonder the ML has difficulty communicating, he is too inexperienced in human relationship in general. And since servants were considered properties of their master, hence they could do anything to them. It is a pretty realistic "encounter" between the FL and the ML, considering of the gap in their status, though it can be considered downgradding for the FL with our modern standard. However without this "forced encounter", how can you expect a low EQ/repressed prince to be attracted to a quiet little maid who only wish not to be noticed?

Apart from that point, I think the plot and characters development are great and pretty realistic/down to hearth kind of way. Unlike a lot of cnovel, there is no awfully complicated and mind boggling plot twist: There is no OP character, the FL try to do things within her mean and possibilities to survive and to understand the ML; same for the ML who evolve from a terrible bed companion to an amazing husband. The harem fight is pretty simple compared to other novel, which I appreciated because too much scheming can be very tiresome to read; same for the political fight between the princes, there is just enough to keep the story interesting without being too complex. There is a lot of sweet and funny scene between the FL and the ML, then with their futur children. The side characters are not one dimensional. To sum up most of the characters are endearing.

The story is short but it is a pleasure to read, there is no filler chapter. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. <<less
