I hope this is atypical and Serenia is a good woman and just a friend.
She is I also think because of her martial arts actually looks a lot younger than she actually is is you can tell that the prints in the Duke are supposed to be near the same age or the same age when she says I’m too young to keep up with his mood swings to the prince in her head meaning that she’s probably closer to an older age like the Dukes aid meeting that you’ll probably have a romance with him and I’m OK with that it looks cute
Yeah, plus, I think the aide has a crush on her, and I am totally here for it, lol.
Yes I cannot wait I hope because I love her up until until now before is dead so let’s go with this guy I’m also pretty sure she’s in her 40s she might look young but she’s probably not
So I skimmed later chapters and love IshigamiXMiko. I am only recently just actually reading the series from the start. I’ve just started chapter 82, where Tsubame appears, and I am PMS-ing so bad right now that I’m literally CRYING. I have issues lmao
He admitted he likes Tsubame. I will continue this after my period, lol.
I’m assuming that she pretended to be a guy for the inheritance, but she was ultimately cut off. Why continue to pretend to be a guy?
Probably to make others still believe she is a gay male. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
But why?
I dunno ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
The author just likes making things loopty loop
More easy to make a connection
Maybe
Perhaps to make the mother not feel ashamed? The fact that the mother lied about the gender of her child to the father for money would probably cause her to get a lot of hate from external and internal sources. So maybe it would just be better to continue living as a man and telling only a few people of her true gender than to be humiliated and isolated by society? Although we see the women as the victims, ultimately the father would be seen as the true victim in newspapers and rumors ext.

Fu Jiu uses her new identity to begin her old work as a hacker, however, it is common knowledge to Qin Mo (who used to hunt her formal self with the international police) that the original hacker, Z, is a woman.
She keeps pretending to be a man to create distance from her past persona as well as from Qin Mo. As their relationship develops she believes that she will always want to stay with him and that he will do whatever it takes to keep her if he knows she is a girl.
Fu Jiu however does important work in the gray areas of the law to gain justice for the underdogs of the world through her hacking. While Qin Mo is a former consultant for the international police and believes that even though Z has good motives the ends do not justify the means. Fu Jiu believes that if Qin Mo finds out what she does in her spare time he will try to reform her and failing that (which she knows he will), arrest her.
Having a super straight guy having to overcome what he believes to be an aberrant sexual desire creates a shield. Though honestly not a very good one. He eventually says screw it to caring what the world thinks and begins to actively seduce Fu Jiu into "becoming gay".
When he does find out that she is a girl and the relationship develops in that direction the world just thinks they are gay for a while.
If you want a better answer than that you will need to read the novel.
Personally I also never thought there was much reason to continue pretending to be a guy. It just makes more and more trouble for everyone and there is never a lot of exposition on why Fu Jiu's mother thought that disguising her daughter as her son was a good idea.
It can, however, be inferred that it has to do with the mistress having a son as well as the financial status of the Fu's company as the time of the kid's birth. Fu Jiu and her half-siblings are only a couple of months apart and had Fu Jiu's mother had a divorce and her father married the mistress, when Fu Jiu was just born he would then have become the illegitimate child.

In the book she wants to get even with the father and half siblings plus not out his mom for fraud
I’ve found that a lot of the appearances of these women before they came to the world they’re in are SO much prettier. Like this lady before she came to the world she’s in? Way prettier before.
Sure, it’s got a lot of the same cliches. Bad lady gets a redo and doesn’t think she the ML will ever love her, instead going for the girl he fell for the first time. But I like how DARK this whole thing is. Yeah, there’s usually a death involved, but this woman had her tongue and limbs cut off then made herself into a human sacrifices. She’s not simply cold, but numb from all the abuse. It’s not, “Yay, I’m gonna live on and be happy despite it all!” She’s just so TIRED of all she’s been through. This is all so dark, and I love it.
Most of all, I find this to be an interesting ethical dilemma. Woman is responsible for COUNTLESS deaths and a corrupt empire. Absolute bloodbath. She is tortured, gets her limbs and tongue cut off. She sacrifices herself in a blood ritual to go in the past, expecting to be gone for good. She survives and wants to make sure things go down a different path. For what exact reason, I’m unsure. She still thinks herself an awful person. Can she ever be redeemed?
She's doing it because she always had regretted the bad things she did and because Cedric, the only person that showed selfless compassion for her and asked for her help, that's why. They explain it better on the light novel, her motivations.
Thanks. Still quite the debate whether or not she can be redeemed.
Me: Sees beautiful woman of color.
WOC: Dies and is reincarnated into a white lady.
I agree! Although she's not white she's Asian so still a woc it's so disrespectful for her to be reincarnated as light skinned in order for her to be deemed pretty.
Please remember these are all Asian mangas we're reading thus technically even though they look white most of our characters are actually asian, that's just the state of things, secondly, unlike much of the rest of the world Korea/Japan/China etc do not have a very multicultural community thus are not generally going to cater to such, it's not a racism thing it's just reality, when almost 99% of your population is generally one race you are going to most likely cater to that.
Didn’t really claim racism (though internal racism is always a thing and it’s 100% possible the author thought a white lady was more pretty than a woman with dark skin). More disappointing.
sorry i know you didnt claim racism, i was looking more for the term whitewashing i think but should have worded that you were not saying that directly.
It's called colorism and it's super prevalent in Asian culture. Also racism does exist in places like Korea against Chinese, Indian, and other Asian nationalities lol. Korean comedy shows still use blackface and cultural appropriation as funny gags regularly. Just because YOU don't personally see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Wait ignore my reply that was made for another comment on another manga askgaja how did I get that mixed up
I’m bad with names, but every time I see Gracie and the dude with green hair together, I ship them more and more.
But what about poor Caesar?? ┗( T﹏T )┛
I admit Ricardo is being hella interesting ~~~
Doesn’t Caesar have his own wife?
I think theyre talking abt silver hair gracie(orig fl) not our mc and other green hair (dude w bangs and brother issues iirc)
He does???
Oh wait nevermind oh my god I thought we were talking abt the guy with blonde hair (￣∇￣")
