Loved it! The only part I didnt like was the description of the MC (it was detailed enough), hard to imagine haha, but I guess it was part of the charm. Great story, highly recommended.

One of my favs. I still read in sometimes.
MC is so humble and loyal that she stands by her second master throughout it all and she does it all without any greed in her mind. This story is mostly from our MC perspective who is not judgemental so it is a bit monotone and is limited to the world she has seen
You will be amaze by her. How can such a person exist?
The second master goes tremendous character development over time with the events he will be going through.

Spoiler

MC works as a servant for this rich and happy family. The second master is a handsome spoilt playboy that often abuses our MC. The family goes through disaster and are poor that the members are leaving their house. The ML is crippled and is going through slum. With our MC by his side stubbornly taking care of him his will to live strengthen, goes back to the world, apologises for his mistakes and works hard to bring back their glory days.

Despite this all our MC is content watching them happy and is trying to go back to her village but ML stops her.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Towards the end MC reveals that she has been in love with the MC from the beginning this just stuck with me cause there was no inkling of this.

[collapse]

Despite being so short this is very impactful and leaves an imprint.
Totally worth reading.

"What I regret the most is I don't remember you."

"you hate me right?"

when the second master said that shuddering and in a frantic expression the dam gates in my eyes flew open...

The translator too did a good job. Thanks for taking up this project. lots of love

To tell you the truth I really cried. I cried so bad. so so bad... this novel is so sweet and loving. I'm glad I gave this a chance. the best chance of my life TBH.

the FL is funny and a very interesting character, So selfless. The ML was an a**hole, but he changed for her. I don't know why but if u don't read this novel u are missing something very important. im still trying to digest the story, im so grateful to stumble upon this one. this novel... more>> is just love. you wont regret reading. <<less

I really didn't think I'd like this a lot. It's so heartwarmjng and there are some major character developments in just a few chapters. The last chapter is a happy ending but it made me cry a lot.

I would say the story is about being at the end of your rope like dying won't make a difference to you anymore but then someone stayed and pushed you to live without anything in return. Then you live and rise up for that person. It's a really beautiful story I didn't think... more>> I needed. <<less

Second master was well written. It does shake your emotion a bit with its plot, but it's enough bitterness that does not overcome the cute and sweet scene.

The ending was perfect, though I honestly want a little bit of plot in terms of the ML regretting his past, overall it's satisfactory and I love it.

I have re-read this story a lot of times, more than eight, probably. And after each time I read it, my chest would be filled with that beautiful feeling of accomplishment.

I just simply recommend it, no... more>> other word. It's refreshing, sweet, and beautiful in its simplicity. 5/5 <<less

It's the story about the return of the prodigal son and the devotion of a s*ave who was mistreated by the male lead in the beginning of the story. The story is well written. I loved it.

I liked how the male lead is flawed. He's in the sense the kind of hero that can exist in real world.

First thing that pop up in my mind after reading this is, "oh God, I need some epilog!" This story is really heartwarming. I love both of the character. It just upset me that he didn't know her before. But according to his former nature, I understand that much. Though I said want more, the ending actually is quite satisfying. I had already re-read it multiple times!

A story that actually manages to have a good theme exploration, character development (of a character only), and catharsis to most readers, despite being a short one. The literary techniques were adequate enough for people to be amazed and satisfied, but that's just all there is to it. It really is a shame that it is a short story.

World building wasn't really explored that much. A few descriptions about the surroundings were only stated for clarification or to move the plot. Other characters were also not explored. "Narrator" is a... more>> one-dimensional character, only doing what a servant is supposed to do, even until the end, and like any other female in the series, fantasies things related to the 2nd master. The character development of the 2nd master can also be considered as not excellent since it is driven by romance. Without the girl, his life will be meaningless. He is basically dependent on the girl which is not good in the long run. Lucky that this is a short story.

Overall, it is still a good entertainment that has good themes one would be able to apply in real life. You can both relieve your stress from work or school and learn or confirm some things (themes) at the same time. I rate it 6/10. Definitely recommended.

Edit: Changed score from 5 to 6. <<less

At the first, I felt bad for the maid because the others calling her monkey. Then, the accident happened to the second master, I was crying at the scene when the second master was on the cart, feeling helpless, and got mocked by others, but the the maid tried to defend the second master. Ah, this story so heart-warming!!! You all must read this!

It's so short but it made me cry a river. It's bittersweet.

Not a fan of how the FL didnt hold even a tiny grudge against the ML for abusing her in the past (especially knowing the fact that he only hit her because he couldnt bear to hit the more beautiful maids) but I love his character development and I think he had his retribution.

I also adore the FL for being loyal to the ML and can become very strong when she needed to.

Overall, its a very well-written short story... more>> with the capability of making you cry with only seven chapters <3 <<less

Not me tearing up over a short story (although this happens more often than you'd think, lol).

I hesitated on reading this one because of the ML's behavior, but ultimately read it because I love me a good redemption arc. Let's see that character growth!! The fact that it's a shorter story at 7 chapters makes it a very quick and satisfying read.

The story basically follows a flighty and profligate son, who the FL served as a maid and object of bullying, losing his legs from an accident and recovering from... more>> it while deciding on how to continue his life. The only person by his side is our hard working and innocent FL who's a little dense but good-intentioned. Truly a humbling experience for our ML.

It's told from the sweet first person POV of the FL so you get to experience the ML's changes first hand as she serves him from his terrible wounds to finding his ground as a merchant and recovering what he lost. He makes amends to those he had wronged in the past and his goal/heart is set on the FL going forward.

Great translations! My only complaint is that I would have liked to see more groveling near the end when she reminds him of how he treated her in the past (there was like a paragraph, but I love to see ML's groveling after they regret their actions so that's just a guilty pleasure wish from me lmao). Otherwise, I think the length was great.

TL;DR Read this if you're a fan of:

  • An ML who gets knocked off his pedestal and has to re-evaluate all his life choices before becoming a better man Redemption arc!
  • A compassionate FL who's a little dense but so sincere - her hard work truly gets paid off at the end
  • FL taking care of disabled ML (idk why but this trope always gets me *clutches handkerchief*)
  • Short and sweet novels with just a touch of angst to get your heartstrings pulled
  • A happily ever after!
Trigger Warnings: physical abuse (ML to FL before his character development), violence <<less

This is a hidden gem. I was expecting a typical male chauvinistic, power-worship type of story considering the setting but boy, was I mistaken. Part of the plot is fantastical but I'm totally willing to jump over a few plot holes to get the kind of overall feel that this provides. Love love love the MC! She's just awesome!

This is a well developed short story of loss and redemption told through the perspective of the lowest and least valued maid of a young master's court.

Her desire to stay and do her job despite all obstacles (including the many reasons she should resent her master) could come across as a classic despicable Mary Sue. It doesnt. Our MC doesn't get in her own head about whats owed to her or treating others badly just to prove she has worth. She respects herself by always being true to who she... more>> is and doing what she thinks needs to be done.

And that straight forward attitude is used to create one of the funniest internal perspectives ever.

Our ML has a huge character arc for such a short story. He starts off high above all as the spoiled, headstrong, useless younger son with enough money and charisma to live a hedonistic life of self indulgence. His fail from that high perch nearly ends him. Rising up he becomes not just a better man but a very likable ML.

Their connection evolves from the worst sort of power imbalance to a true partnership. I reread this when Im in the mood for a deep and satisfying romance. Strongly recommended. <<less

5/5 !!!

The story was short and sweet. It honestly was a great read. ML's character development was immaculate and MC was an amazing character <3 I love her. Both of the protagonists suffered and are both incredibly strong. Also appreciate the translator's work, thank you!

Oh my shoujo heart lol.

This story hits all the right heartstrings when it comes a good ol' heart-warming love story. It has the drama, the growth, all the sweetness and just that extra somethin' to give your heart that squeeze feeling. Well paced, well developed and the perfect length, imo.

There's really not much to say and I don't really want to get nitpicky/detailed since in the end it's just... it's just a really a good story. It's one of those stories that makes you feel things (i.e. feel nostalgic for... more>> experiences I don't even have) and you don't really want to ruin the moment/memory... if that makes sense, haha.

A beautiful telling of a story that would otherwise be well, just another love story. <<less

"Do you know what I regret most in this life?"

I forcefully shook my head, I did not know, I did not know anything. Second Master answered in a trembling voice, "That I didn't remember you."

For such a short story it sure made me feel a whole range of emotions! I actually didn't really like the first two chapters, the ML was just too unbearable, but it actually made the later chapters that much sweeter, seeing the wonderful changes to his character. The MC was really funny too, I especially liked... more>> how determined she was. Overall a really nice and sweet romantic story. <<less

This is one of the first novel I read from this site, that made me fell in love with Chinese novels!

What shines through is character development, I absolutely love seeing the ML grows and how he interacts with our MC

The writing is amazingly simple yet meaningful, I've re-read this novel for more than ten times now. It's just that wonderful.
