The Scheming Minister’s Kitchen Maid

Description

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

I’m the kitchen maid in the treacherous minister’s household. I’m blessed with immense strength—I can do the work of three people.

After the treacherous minister beat to death over a dozen maids who tried to sleep with him, he was left with no one to even serve him his meals.

“Go there and work hard. Don’t try to climb into his bed. Your monthly salary will be increased to five taels. If you can hold out for three years, I guarantee you’ll return home in glory! But if you try to seduce him, forget about getting the money, you’ll lose your life too…” The old steward held my hand and earnestly advised me, afraid that I might lose my mind and ruin myself.

Two years later, the treacherous minister, taking advantage of being alone, pretended to be drunk after drinking tea, and repeatedly tried to drag me onto the bed.

I kicked him over with one foot, tied myself up tightly with a rope, secured my collar and waist, even tying my pants tightly—ready to die rather than yield.

“My lord! Let me tell you the truth today—I’d rather die than climb into that bed!”

Short yet still quite fulfilling.

What I love the most in this story was MC. She wasn't particularly beautiful and was quite silly most of the time but somehow, I still found her adorable in her own way. And what surprised me the most was that she was able to help ML getting out of his own predicament in the grand finale. Indeed it's a bit unrealistic but hey, it's a fiction after all.

Heartwarming and so, so good! The twist in the end really makes one excited despite the short length. And the characters!! All of them are so well done and break the mold. Perhaps it's a little unrealistic, but I love it!

Super short and silly but fun enough to read in-between longer novels. Objectively, this is more of a 3 or 3.5 but decided to round it up because short novels are easier to forgive.

As a love romance it is very lacking. As a jolly story it is very strong. Good quick read, power protagonists.
