Geez Louise I had to rant to get my frustrations out and did not notice the absolute NOVEL I typed lmao
I was gonna continue reading, but then one of the preview pics of fl with a back full of bruises caught my eye and, me being a spoiler lover, decided to check it out, and what I find out is ml still harbors bs thoughts ab fl even at ch 31, and that they had spent a night together previously even tho he still thought shit ab her… that’s a hell naw from me I hate smut in transmigration stories (my bad I didn’t see it was tagged with josei) but I hate smut even more if they’re not 100% in love. And why is fl pleading for him to continue despite the back pain with a desperate face… that doesn’t scream love to me
There's no outright smut in here. You should keep reading because things get better. Lmk if you want spoilers
YES PLS!! I love me some spoilers the more detailed the better
Hi sorry I took some time. Needed to get the right place where you last read
So after the report incident, Edith tells Killian that he's not gonna believe her anyways, so stop paying her attention. Killian gets mad but promises her she's gonna get a fair trial.
Edith is put under house arrest and Killian starts to pay attention to her by sitting with her for Lunch. Man's a tsundere my sister in Christ.
Edith picks up making dresses for dolls because she's bored and Anna, her personal maid is starting to like her because Edith treats her like a person rather than as a servant like everybody else does.
Meanwhile Killian's brother goes to the Royal Palace and tattle on Edith to the King saying she leaked the documents when Killian threw a fit in front of his family saying "Why are y'all jumping to conclusions like this? There's no proof Edith actually leaked the info"
There's a craft market held as a charity event and all the noble ladies are making stuff to sell. Reeze, the show off is making a huge embroidery and being all coy like "Oh its not that good". Edith doesn't have much experience in embroidery, so she picks a simple design in a handkerchief for Killian and all the bitchy noble women are like "Oh my teen daughter made something like that when she started" Then Duchess tries to save her by saying "Oh the colour of this clothes is similar to Killian's eyes". Then noble women coo in like "Oh newly weds"
In the trade fair, Edith gets cornered by her brother and the asshole assault Edith while she's on the way to the washrooms and threatens her if their plans go wrong, she's gonna be the first on the chopping block. While Edith's taking the washroom break, Killian buys her handkerchief.
After doing the bad investments and loosing money, Edith's family gets impatient that Edith is not asking for maids from their house, so this bitch maid for Rigelhoffs come to Duke's doorstep throwing a strom saying she misses Edith and shit. So Duke let's the bitch in.
Bitch maid is abusing Edith big time. She's starving her, beating her where her clothes cover the bruses, there's verbal abuse, etc. Edith is put back to work with the secretary guy and she's only getting to eat tea snacks as a meal. Secretary guy is getting sus about her unusual appetite. Anna was pushed aside by the bitch and she isolated Edith from everyone.
Then Edith sends Reeze a gift sewing set as an apology. Bitch maid force Edith to poison the sewing kit but Edith doesn't budge. But Reeze gets poisoned by the sewing kit anyways and put on a coma to recover. Then the guards find poison on Edith's room and Edith is put on house arrest again.
Reeze wakes up and sends a cake as a peace offering, but plot twist! It's poisoned. Bitch maid put poison on it and makes the starved Edith eat it. Edith gets severe stomach aches but nobody finds out why she's sick. Also nobody else is worried for Edith except Killian, but bitch maid makes Edith to reject Killian.
Killian suddenly gets angry because bitch maid is blowing off Killian's attempts to have meals with Edith. Killian thinks Edith is doing it on purpose. So he tries to force Edith to sleep with him. Bro is being a massive red flag there, buuuut he discover Edith's bruises when he takes off her clothes. Killian blows up and send bitch maid to jail.
That's only like the 1st 30 or so chapters and I may have gotten some stuff in the wrong order
You should read this. It's bittersweet in the first part, but it gets wholesome
Wait so when he tried to force her to sleep with him, was their FIRST attempt at fucking?? Bc when I read ch 30, it was insinuated that they spent a night together already… and wow that sounds like a lot of bs fl had to go through that I would’ve blown up in anger if I had continued. Thanks for the detailed spoilers !!! I might pick this up right at ch 40 or later, past all the bs bc ml still doesn’t seem like a decent man and fl still has no power bc of how she’s viewed.
I read spoilers that he was under hypnosis to hate the fl, but did the hypnosis really make him say all that nasty shit ab her behind her back and to her face? I don’t think so. He could’ve looked badly upon her and ignored her existence, but he HAD to seek her out multiple times to basically say “you are shit, know your place”
It wasn't their first attempt at sex. I had to take a refresher because it's been a while since I read this.
Stuff I missed/ messed up the order
After the letter incident, Edith remembers a special event where og Edith trys to seduce Killian and failing. Edith us like "Well, let's get this over with" and goes to Killian's room. She kiss him on the forehead and try to leave. Killian takes this as her being willing to sleep with him and they do the deed.
Poison cake incident comes after the poison thread incident.
After Killian sleeps with Edith, the 1st condition to loosen author's authority meets the need, which is Edith following the script and changing the course of the story.
The forcing himself on Edith happens because he sees Edith being vulnerable with secretary guy and Killian gets jealous. He sees Edith's bruises and realizes that he was being an asshole.
Then Edith feels bad for seducing Killian, so she trys to stay away from Killian and turning him down 10 times.
I guess the hypnosis was more like manipulation due to being close with Reeze, author's authority over important characters and competition to have Reeze as a prize
Girl I hope both sides of your pillow is cold forever thanks for indulging me in spoilers

You too bud
14 chapters in and the only person I like is the ml’s mother, the only one who treated the fl with kindness and respect, that even the fl doesn’t have for herself.
Ml is obviously a pos, idk what that blondie is up to but she has suspicious moments of trying to frame fl, and the fl is so… like girl… pls stop simping and blushing over the mf who called you a vulgar, promiscuous, evil, snake like bitch and has pure hate in his eyes. It’s so cringe to see her smiling like a goof to him and making playful jokes as if he hasn’t been constantly shaming and bringing her down at every chance. And it’s not even the purposeful type of joking and kind behavior she’s doing to lower his guard and make herself look better, but she genuinely said she “can’t stop teasing him” like cmon girl get up off the ground. He literally called her a hostage and she overhears this yet still simps and swoons at his face and body like a dumbass.
If the most handsome man in the world, Felix from stray kids, looked at me with MALICE in his eyes and poison in his words you bet my heart would drop, and I would no longer look at him with yearning.
I’m at the part where they accuse her of sending their family info to her family, and ml is all of a sudden acting honorable saying shit like “the trial will be unbiased I swear on it” after seeing her cry (which was understandable, but damn girl don’t let these assholes see you broken down!!)
And I already know it’s gonna happen and I’m dreading it, but after ml helps clear her accusations, she again, will swoon for the bare basic minimum and sorry excuse of a man that is the ml.
It’s still real early on, and I hope she stops the swooning IMMEDIATELY, and give the same energy back to the ml. Hell I wish she was more of a bonafide villainess.
