I Am the Side Character Steward in a Dog-Blood Drama

Qiao Wu was raised in the prestigious, top-tier Lu family, receiving elite, all-rounder education. When she grew up, she took over her father’s position to assist the Lu family heir. Luxury cars, mansions, and a sky-high annual salary—she was supposed to have a boundless future.

But one week into her new role, she suddenly awakened—she was merely a background character in a melodramatic rich-family novel, playing the role of the Lu family’s steward, and her employers were all villains.

Second Young Master kept a starlet as a mistress and caused trouble for the female lead—she was the one who had to pay them off.

Third Young Master tried to forcefully take the female lead—she was the one who had to shut the door.

When the little miss offended the male lead’s family—she was the one who had to clean up the mess…

And the worst part? She did all of this just to climb into the bed of the powerful heir, Lu Jinzhi, and become the lady of the house.

In the end, the Lu family was destroyed in a revenge arc by the protagonists. Qiao Wu didn’t even leave behind a whole corpse.

And now—she had just finished subtly implying to Lu Jinzhi that she wanted to sleep with him.

Qiao Wu: ???

She could excel in any of the 360 professions.

What kind of insult was this supposed to be?

Faced with these paranoid, useless rich brats who couldn’t be helped, she gave them one final ultimatum:

“Either you get your act together, or I’m finding a new employer.”

The pampered and spoiled Lu family young masters sat up in shock, like dying men who’d been jolted back to life.

Qiao Wu was the daughter of the former old steward, which was why Lu Jinzhi had always kept a bottom line when it came to her. But when he received her “sleeping together” hint all the way from abroad, he knew—it was time to fire her.

Before he could send the dismissal, he received another message from Qiao Wu:

“Sent to the wrong person. This is what I meant to send you.”

How Traditional Overbearing CEOs Got Eliminated

— Build a healthy rich family, enjoy wealth for life.

Lu Jinzhi: ???

When he returned to China, he found a watermelon knife stabbed into the first floor table, and a giant sign hanging on the wall listing the Lu family’s new house rules:

Morning exercise at dawn

Written exams on legal channel case studies

Alcohol breath tests

Strict curfew

His previously scheming and distant brothers were now all upright and disciplined, clutching their copies of “A Guide to Avoiding Melodramatic Rich-Family Pitfalls” and studying them word by word.

“What kind of rich guy does she hate most? I’ll change, okay?”

“Whoever it is, it’s not Lu Jinzhi. She hates traditional overbearing CEOs.”

“Lu Jinzhi, stop running home all the time. Could you show some effort? Xiao Wu only works for top-tier wealthy families, and everyone outside is trying to poach her!”

Lu Jinzhi: …

I just want to know—who the hell was that message really meant for?!

He used to worry about rivals eyeing his family fortune.

Now, he had to worry about others eyeing his steward.

3.5-3.75 rating for me.

This story felt more like the FL babysitting several spoiled characters who really need to go to therapy for parental neglect.

FL is the daughter of a butler for a rich family and grew up with these kids. Suddenly she’s forced to watch as another personality takes over her body to follow the “plot”. She somehow regains control after 12 years and attempt to fix things.

Her attempt to fix things is actually just guiding the rich kids back to the right path. Most of them have become narcissists,... more>> hot-tempered, spoiled brats and she basically forces them to become better people.

Lu Jinzhi

Lu Xuan

Lu Yingchi

Lu Ning

These people are all super possessive of the FL and have the potential to be yandere ngl but FL hates that. In fact, this story has harem vibes because all the brothers adore the FL to an unhealthy obsessive amount and FL actively tries to make them be less dependent on her.

She is biased however towards Lu Jinzhi, the only not spoiled one, because she sort of tolerates him the most out of everyone. It’s kinda obvious.

I gave this a lower score because the initial part of the story is fun when the FL beats them all into submission. But once it reaches chapter60 plus the story loses steam because FL is too OP and things go so smoothly for her, the other characters are so obsessed over her, and the romance felt bland.

Luckily the novel is short so I finished it. An okay read to pass the time. <<less
