Thank you for reminding us that only skinny people are beautiful. We grew up with this bs and I try to read manhwa as an escape from the bs of the world only to find it here once again. Shame on manhwas like this. Why does she have to diet and be skinny in order to be pretty and loved?!

You're probably gonna find an escape from beauty standards in a Korean webtoon of all things...they're notorious as a country for having high and unhealthy beauty standards (><lll). Moreover this is a noble-court historic; rich women are mean.
But I like that the male lead likes her regardless of how she looks, seeing as he fell for her as she is. But I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with the MC (who was a healthy Korean woman) wanting to become thinner for herself. She probably isn't feeling comfortable in another person's body for a variety of reasons.

i don’t understand?? isnt this manga about body positivity, shes choosing a healthy lifestyle, and even so she looks adorable being chubby… i think anyone who is also an unhealthy weight or not having the proper lifestyle/eating habits should try to loose weight. speaking from experience, i was really chubby and decided to go on a diet and loose weight
She let herself become an indentured slave without pay and those nobles are exploiting her without her consent and even punishing her , she had several chances to escape and live freely while learning how to fight and protecting that bead thing, she could have asked to be a healer or a powerful person or rich or anything yet she asked for a man’s voice. She could ve asked to be a man since she wants to live like one in the future and is afraid to be discovered, the fl is stupid on some level causing misfortune on herself then blame others for it internally.
