So FL is reliving her life after being killed for being the product of a taboo. I understand that she felt like if she got her half-brother to be given the Head of Family title she would survive. And her secondary plan was to go to the academy to get a chance to study abroad. HOWEVER!! After rape at the hands of her bro (who also has been drugging her with an aphrodisiac) why wasn't secondary plan moved up to the primary. She could have saved herself from the second SA from the demon heir if she had just taken some money, cut her hair, dyed it, and disappeared into the night with her father believing she was at school. I guess getting all those riches/nobility triumphs against saving your own life.

I can't give this story props for having the FL run-a-way, since she didn't plan anything, because it was a spur of the moment action brought about by nonstop pain, derision, and feelings of uselessness. But I wanted at least a confrontation once she found the papers in the desk. Or she could have turned solid almost stone or robotic where she methodically begins to plan her departure from the ducal household. Nope!! The rain will ease my hurt and erase these tears. (¬_¬)

And as other commenters have pointed out the lack of communication between the FL and ML is too damn high!! FL is too timid to speak up about anything and the ML (douche!!) is too much of a narcissist/sadist who sees the shenanigans going on in his own home and upper society and does nothing to alleviate his wife's concerns or to admonish the staff around her, instead he's off thinking: Soon she'll grovel to me to fix her life. SOON!! ◔◔

ML2 might have come off as a viable rival as he listened to the FL about her concerns and fears. But he too soon proved himself to be a sleaze and manipulator. He's all about setting her free and helping her find her own path/space in life, but withholds vital information from her to make him seem like the better choice. (Bro, I saw you screwing her husband's ex-fiancee in the hallway, when that mansion has like 40 rooms available!! Get real!!) ಠ╭╮ಠ

Again disrespecting the communication!!

However, I powered through these chapters as it was soon becoming predictable and boring only to hop over to Novel Spoilers and realize this adaption barely resembles the LN it was adapted from. UUGGHH!!

Having read the later part of the novel, I have been holding back on some changes they made for the adaptation. But no more!! One of the most beautiful and heartbreaking scenes was cut out, so they could get to the children arc.

Novel Spoiler: After the king's most recent brush with death, he holds on when he learns from Kael that Hestia is pregnant. After Hestia gives birth and it is safe to have the baby meet others -- his parents present him to the king. The king raised Kael and thought of him as another son, so he didn't want to leave the world without seeing the face of his grandchild. I'm not doing it any justice, but it was a beautifully written scene in which the king saw his heart-adopted son whole and happy once again. Then he passed a day later.

Honestly, I started reading this because I was curious about the cover. Curiosity appeased. However, now I kinda wished I hadn't read it and not because of the sex/harem thing, but more because I can sense a good story that came and ended too quickly. (LOL!!)

I'm super interested in the FL's rise to power as queen by basically denouncing her own game and instead making her own pathway, but still under the mercy of a status screen. Also, I would like a more fleshed out story with all the men in the harem -- we see how she gained her wolf, but I want to see how she seduced and acquired all the rest of her men. 'Cause it nice to read a woman who isn't a blushing virgin all the time and knows what she wants in and out of the bedroom.

This started out so promising, but soon began to go downhill. It's vastly different from what I thought the plot was going to be like. The Emperor ignores his child for 9 years, gets angry when she tries to lead the country when is presumed dead in battle, tries to lock her up again, denounces her existence to her face, but suddenly cares enough about her to take a magic bullet for her and then has the nerve to plead with her not to abandon him!! WTH?? And after all this, she still wants to stay in the palace?? Also, no one questions how she knew the Dark Magic user of the forest?? Nobody??

9 Years Later -- Nothing is resolved!! They aren't close; no parent to child relationship. They don't have any sort of connection. They eat together a few times and that's it. No development; and now it's onto the next phase of her life in a human body. Which I might point out again -- nobody questioned her about that conversation with the Dark Lord all those years ago. Instead of skipping over those 9 years, I wish there had been some progress on their relationship, which is why I started reading this story in the first place to see some Father-Daughter dynamics in play. Disappointed.

So, now that she's in a human body are wishes going unfulfilled?? ⚆_⚆

I just started reading this, but parts of this plot reminds me heavily of the "Happy Ending for the Time-Limited Villainess" story. Red-haired villainess in love with a White/Silver-haired Duke, makes a deal/trade with their life, coughing up blood, ends up in a contractual marriage for a limited time.

I'm not saying either author plagiarized the other, but the usage of certain elements, shows they were definitely inspired by one another. ◔ ⌣ ◔

I don't know if the adaptors or the artists are tired, but they sure are moving quickly to end this series. Season 1 ended with Ara and the Gang still leery around each other and trying to find a working balance without revealing too much information about each other.

Season 2: We got the Gang hanging out in Ara's palace like its their second headquarters. No sense of confusion of being too welcoming or nice to Ara despite what they are planning to accomplish. Now Ara is a full-on asset to the Rebel Alliance. The sense of needing to be confidential, quiet, and quick as the Gang schemes in the shadows is completely gone. They sit around her home and openly plot against the royal family. Ara is gaining way too much insider information about the rebel leaders, albeit she already knew most of it, so I can't fathom them wanting to kill her now.

It's not just the art style has changed, but the mood and tone has changed too. The first season had a feeling of suspicion, melancholy, and grim resolve. This second season is too brightly colored and moving much more faster than I would like. I'm almost tempted to drop it due to the change in direction by the author/adaptor.

I can understand the group's frustration with how slowly the story is moving, plus how obtuse and dense the MLs are toward each other, but this is a breath of fresh air considering some of the other stories I read on here. I still smile and chuckle at it, so I'm still here for the long haul.

(Latest chapter, 42, I secretly want that Cat Flex shirt. ^_^ )

Sleep wakes in beast world. Befriends wolf and kinda white lion. Returns her world for 10 minutes -- back to beast world; 10 years have passed. Summoning circle?? Suddenly white lion wants to be her mate?? Wolf is too shy around FL?? Healing magic?? Traitors?? Whaaa...@_@

What happened to my strong FL?? She isn't a poison queen nor is she adapt at being a cultivator anymore. The first few chapters she shined brightly, but soon her shine started to dull and she couldn't do anything without help from a male. So many plot points dropped: being a poison doctor, traveling the country, the virginity beast transmigration, finding out the truth about her father's death, and other little major incidents.

Also, it majorly bothers me that the FL is 13 years old while the ML is over 100 years old. Couldn't the author have written her at least as an adult considering how many men keep lustily chasing after child-form. I thought this series resembled Hades and TongTong -- I was grossly mistaken; they aren't even close, and I regret thinking they were. Hades & TongTong are way better leads than this couple.
