Description

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

One day, I woke up to find myself as the abandoned maid of the grand ducal household.

I mean, I’m not saying that I was slapped and thrown out as soon as I woke up today. Rather, I literally woke up and realized that I had transmigrated into a novel as the maid who gets abandoned.
Of course, as cliché as it might be, the problem here is that I’m not the female lead.

Not the female lead, not even a supporting villain, not even an extra – I woke up as ‘that’ abandoned maid who irresponsibly has an affair with the grand duke, gets pregnant, gets kicked out, and eventually gives birth on the roadside, only to be stabbed to death by an assassin hired by the grand duchess.

Given the circumstances, my ultimate goal in this otherworld is survival.
Staying alive is my one and only priority.

Always be wary of the grand duke, reconsider any nonsense.
Romance? What romance?
Pardon me, but I’m too busy trying to survive.

And yet… What is this situation now?

“Julie, if it’s alright with you, can you attend to me?”
Isn’t the butler supposed to do that?

“Maybe it’s because I’ve known you longer? I’m more comfortable with you, Julie.”
If it’s about knowing someone longer, you’ve known the butler longer than me though?

“If you’re not feeling well, do you want to rest?”
Where? Over there, on your bed?

“I wish you’d feel more comfortable around me.”
If I get any more comfortable, I’ll end up naked and rolling around on the bed, sir.

And so it begins.
A sensual romance between a maid trying to survive and a grand duke with insane flirting skills!

Yo... he never even apologized to her in the main story.
Spoiler

The first time they have s*x, it’s a r*pe. He got really mad that she dared to marry someone. And he uses his position as duke to just get her to do all kinds of things. And Julie is just like “well, at least we have good s*xual chemistry?”

[collapse]

The side stories are more fluffy, I presume, but the main story... it’s a mess. And he never even apologized to her 😭

Well. I liked the story, maybe loved it. Not going into the plot as some reviews have already done so. It's a beautifully translated novel wherein some sentences ended up leaving a deep impact on me. This mostly happens in the ML's pov.

I would like to delve into 2 things.

First : Consent

One review here said that though the consent is dubious, it is the charm of the story & I completely agree with it. Both were helpless & suffered in their own ways. ML for his unrequited feelings & FL... more>> from his love. Having read a variety of novels for the past 3 years idk why but now I find novels with imperfections sometimes perfect like they possess their own unique charm.

Second : ML & FL

The ML not apologizing for his actions & the FL' s behaviour may come out as s*upid for some, but one cannot expect characters to be always flawless & moral. Sometimes, setting aside your morals a little bit is all it takes to enjoy a piece of writing. I have read worse, so this story is actually quite refreshing compared to them & it actually gets better as you read it.

Tips :

1. Read the tags carefully

2. Read without expectations

3. Read the reviews but please give any novel a chance before forming an opinion <<less

There's a tag for male yandere and there's a tag for r*pe so I'll be rating this assuming that those thinking of reading this don't necessarily mind an immoral story.

However, even with that caveat, I feel that the story does not deliver what is promised in the synopsis. We are promised a sensual romance and a male lead with "insane flirting skills" so I was expecting a semi-comedic cat and mouse type of story where we see the male lead gradually seducing the stubborn female lead, perhaps using clever schemes... more>> to win her trust and get closer to her. However the truth is.... the male lead isn't good at flirting, he's just handsome and rich, that's really all there is to it. He's pretty greasy to be honest. His lines don't feel clever, you can't really feel the chemistry or tension between the leads. The story kind of time-skips over most of the build-up so as a reader I didn't feel tantalized or nervous by his approach, we are just kind of told that it's happening and then it suddenly and violently escalates. His only qualities are that he's handsome and rich and only "loves" the MC and we're told so often how amazing this makes him that I felt like the author was trying to brainwash the audience into forgetting that he's scummy. While the female lead forgives him easily, I don't particularly hold her actions against her considering her social standing, the world she lives in, ect. She doesn't feel that she has the luxury to value herself higher than bare minimum.

The plot feels rushed, characterization is flat, it's not sexy, it's not fun or funny but at the same time it takes the abusive subject matter too lightly to be a serious drama either. The author seems like they might be a novice so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that if they learn to Show rather than Tell and to slow down a bit, their next work can be improved greatly. <<less

This is so badly executed + nonconsensual actions of ML.

The ML always told FL that he loves her but never honest to her on his "ridiculous" plans with Grand Duchess.... thus, it made her fear her future demise on OG plot.

The only good point was the end of main story. Extras were more readable and got fluff. And the revealation that this actually prologue of OG novel.

****To began with my English isn't my first, but my 3rd language so bear with me.****

About this novel, it's not that bad, it just I don't know how to describe it. It's rushed also it makes you questions your Moral? Like the FL is s*upid like worse than merry sue also ML is top jerk the reason being *spoiler alert* he forced her to have s*s with him is it this not a r*pe? Like disgusting and she forgives him??how? Just HOW? Like W the F man. Even if he... more>> F*cks good that does not mean you should have been forced to do it. Men or women does not matter both parties needs to be consent to do so. Also it could just be me but in my presbective S*x should only be having when you want to be with that person forever want to give that person your heart, soul and body in both parties but in this era that's impossible I believe or before generation but anyway The plot is good and characters are good but something's should have been changed and fix as there was too many loopholes about the story.

It did not explain how she died to her old life the new life why he likes her and when she started like him also about her identity as maid needed to be fixed how she become perfect maid when she came from modern world??? There is just too many. So If you were here for the smut which was not much in there to begin with and don't think about the logic and just wanted to read something to pass your time, this is for you. If not you a hold water for your brain but let be honest there are worse novels out there then this.

{I wish there was something same plot as this but is like 5 star novel. If you know one, recommend one for me. Thank you} <<less

Well that was funny and interesting. I know its short but I can already see the potencial to be a good novel to read for leisure.

The female protagonist will try her all to avoid the red flag and survive to the very end. I cant wait to see that progress if she can really avoid the male lead (wink wink) and so far the male protagonist still did not reveal himself or rather talked with our female lead but I can feel that he is obssesed with her and this... more>> is the mystery part, when did the ML fall in love? And how can he conquer the female leads love? Or is he a cheater and a playboy (has no signs whatsoever I still think that the ML is loyal to the female lead)

I really cant wait for the next chapter. I reccommend to read this book. But I will still change my rating if something will go wrong with this since its still short but overall its great. <<less

It's too early to give a review but so far so good for this novel.

Okay, the original plot is where the og maid Julie is a fling of the grand duke. She became an adulterer got pregnant almost the same month as the grand duchess. Got threats from the grand duchess, gave birth at the road side, and killed by the assassins. In all of these happenings, the grand duke did not show or shielded her. But of course, who wants to shield an adulterer woman that could lead to... more>> his ruin.

The current plot, Julie possessed by a modern woman from Korea and a certified novel reader is firm that she will not follow the original plot. She decided to have nothing to do with the ml, but of course we know that that will never happens. She won't be an abandoned maid by him. ML is a grand duke and a war hero. It was not stated yet as to why he committed an affair with Julie, a maid. He imp**gnated her almost the time he imp**gnated his wife (in the original plot).

I like it so far. I kinda want to know how will FL avoids ML and what ML will do to FL in the next chapters. What is the reason behind his affairs with Julie. The translation is also good. <<less

Tbh, this was a good read. You can see both characters pov and how they view their relationship all together. It was written well and easy to read. The extra stories tho are very wholesome. First might be bumpy but trust me it gets better!

I love this story, it's steamy, there isn't much drama on the part of the characters, there are some scenes where consent is dubious, but I guess that's the charm of the story.

Our FL, Julia, is a modern woman who tries not to fall into the cliché of her story, she avoids the Grand Duke and tries not to get too involved with the Grand Duchess, that is, she tries to be seen as just another piece of furniture, but without success.

Our ML, The Grand Duke, is a powerful, attractive... more>> man, a war hero, obsessed with Julia and eager to have her for himself, no matter what they say, when it comes to Julia, he is willing to go to the last consequences.

It's an interesting story, so far, I like what I've read and I look forward to more chapters.

Spoiler

In the last chapter I read, Julia becomes pregnant shortly after the Grand Duchess' pregnancy is announced.
