didn't like the 1st volume at all. victim (uke) fell in love with his rapist (seme). seme gets forgiven cuz he had a shitty past too wtf. vol. 2 was good. this would have been rated higher if there was no rape not just becuz rape is bad but becuz there was no purpose for the rape at all. like, why was the uke raped by the seme in the first place??? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ so that they would have something to fight about??? i'm like ヽ(`Д´)ノ. the rape didn't have a purpose (i.e. psychological effect-trauma, anger/resentment about the abuse, thriller/psychological tag- are either of them S or M, or just not sane.) this wasn't that kind of manga. there are so many other triggers for the seme and uke to fight other than rape. rape was just there for the smut, nothing else. it was a useless trope and it made vol. 1 trash.

The word "before" was italicized so i thought there was smth about that. And now the latest chapter really confirms it. Team Yulan all the way

Just read the novel last January so everything is still fresh in my mind hahahah and now this! Love it!!! Aria's whole revenge story was fucking glorious. She's indeed a strong independent woman.

i read it on the official site but i also found it on
https://wuxiaworld.site/novel/the-villainess-turns-the-hourglass/

The story is quite long and a lot happened so I'll just spoil some events and you can ask from there.
Aria plans to seduce Oscar, the guy Mielle is to be engaged with (there families were already talking about it but there was no official engagement yet iirc).
Aria meets the Crown Prince when he was out in town incognito investigating.
Crown Prince thought that the woman he met in town (while he was incognito) was Mielle since Aria was wearing Mielle's dress.
The hourglass is not a one time deal. Aria gets to keep the hourglass and she can use it once a day and turn back time 5 minutes before. Backlash is that she gets very tired and she needs to sleep longer.
Crown Prince also has some hidden powers.
Aria is not in anyway related to Mielle, her brother, and their father. Aria was borne from one of her mother's customers. He will be introduced after Mielle's house is ruined.
Mielle is not the endgame villain. Another girl will be introduced. She is Oscar's sister and the Crown Prince's fiancee.
Because of the hourglass, Aria makes contributions to her father's business. A frustrating misunderstanding occurs.
Aria earns money for herself by investing in start-up companies. She earns a name for herself as Mr. A. Young businessmen come up to her to fund their companies cuz every company she invested in was successful.
There's politics in the story. Royalists and anti-royalists. Crown Prince's fiancee's family is in the anti royalist faction. He's supposed to marry her so there will be power balance.

thank you for spoilers I really look for it almost everywhere (I still don't have any chance to read the novel yet and I guess my free-time is not enough for the long novels yet) may I ask one question: when the crown prince knows that he has mistaken Aria with Mielle and what's his reaction from that.

SPOILERS
The big reveal is when Aria attends the bday party of the evil sister lol. He came up to Aria and asked her if she really wasn't Mielle hahahaha He walked out of there.
Preciously, he asked his aide to pretend to be a businessman and help Aria's father. When the aide went to their house he praised Mielle for being intelligent and helping her dad's business (this was the misunderstanding, it was actually Aria who did that but the dad didn't correct the aide). So the nxt time the aide came, he brought gifts for Mielle from his master. This was actually the crown prince's way of wooing Aria but hahahha he was wasting his time and money on Mielle instead.

SPOILER
Aria pretended to help Mielle and she was doing it so seriously too that Mielle actually believed her. There was no doubt in Mielle's mind that Aria was deceiving. When Mielle was supposed to be beheaded, Aria did the same thing to her (like what happened in her past). She talked to Mielle (in a voice that only they could hear) and told Mielle the truth about the hourglass and everything else like how she knew about Mielle'a schemes. Mielle kind of lost it at that moment.

SPOILER
Aria's grandmother was a royal (but I think it was a branch family). She later married the love of her life from another kingdom (iirc). So Aria has royal blood. Her dad was the heir to a noble family. Both grandma and dad are permanently living in another kingdom. Dad's name was Chloe. He was actually looking for Aria's mother since before but she was using a fake name when she was a prostitute (i think it was Apple/Cherry) so he did't find her

so, like, is that promise still valid or not? cuz that would have an impact in the way the recent events would continue to unfold.
so, thoughts?

recent chapter made some things clear. she is sent to the palace to be a nursemaid for the prince: so this means the prince is just a kid. and obviously somebody is after the kid's life since he was poisoned and all the other people they sent before all died too.
the bitchy maids mentioned that they were in the abandoned palace, so his mom may have done something to warrant that (or maybe sent there to pretend to fall out of favor). my guess is that the prince's mom is already dead. so why are people after the prince's life? is he the crown prince? or the child of the empress? or some half blood?

All royal children have the right to inherit the throne, even if a crown prince has already been placed. Most of the time people get rid of the other royal children so only one person is alive. The duke mentioned how those around the other royals have died, defected or disappeared which shows that something dirty is going on in the background

what was the point of this acting duel again? and who instigated this? was there like a bet or something? and the team that wins, wins what?

Since Chiyoko's fame will only last a few more years (I forgot how many) in order for her to stay popular, by beating Yonagi and her partner, she will gain fame again. Araya just wants to gain fame since the director died or wants to make a name for himself. But it can backfire really bad if Chiyoko's team lose since Yonagi is someone the company STARS rejected and Yonagi's partner is someone who left STARS. Sorry for the long post hope it helps! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

So madam tutte/penny was drinking Olivia's blood in ch 9 and in ch 11 olivia is like having a hangry attack... so they're vampires that are feeding off of each other?? Or is Penny just a human who drinks blood?? But then she's never seen in the morning and only goes out at night... and obvs olivia and isaac are related...
Anyway, this is seriously some good ass writing. Just the right mix of smut, fluff, mystery & fantasy
SLASH THAT BITCH!!!! The amount of frustration i felt just seeing her insufferable face. *sigh* anyway, i'm just here waiting for the baby mud monster, i miss the little guy. When's it gonna show up again? (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
