It's so funny to read people's shocked reactions, as someone who had read spoilers years ago about this story point and has just been waiting to see how the story reveals it.

No, Judith didn't die. This is the third life trope - previously I thought it was the typical version of this trope, ie. first life in novel, second life in our world, third life back in the first life (with memories getting mixed up). Really interesting to see that her first life was in our modern world, second life as Judith, and she simply ended up regressing and mixing up her memories. I can only assume Luca's regression wish played a part in this, as we know he has regressed, which is why he doesn't act like a child really.

People who wonder why Judith was originally mean to Luca, I don't think that's all there is to it. We know from wayyyy earlier there was a flashback where Franz had captured Judith (in the same place where we are now) and Judith refused to do/give/say what he wanted, and that's how she died, I'm pretty sure. I haven't gone back and reread it, but I remember seeing that scene and rising my eyebrows, as there is clearly more to "og" Judith (or should I say first timeline Judith) than we know. All we know for sure, even from before, is that she loved her older sister deeply.

There's also been more than one moment where Judith has questioned how she knows some things that she shouldn't know about (ie. details that she questions if they were mentioned in the novel), and this also leaves confusion for why she knows all this if she was only the og Judith. It's possible this was a novel she read before, idk, I guess we'll see in the next chapter or few.

In case someone didn't know, the ML will be the boy with the mole under his eye (at least I remember looking up novelupdates and seeing him on the cover after they're grown up). In case anyone else was worried about them calling each other sister/brother, since this is a martial setting, I assume the original terms refer to "senior sister"/"junior brother" that are often used in stories set in the martial sect world. I've seen them used in a platonic/familial sense typically but I don't think there's been opposition if things turn romantic (typically it's romance across different sects, at least what I tend to see).

I'm just assuming and guessing so I could be totally wrong, anyone who knows more feel free to comment. This is just from what I've seen from reading other series with better translations, and knowing how inaccurate/simplified MTL can be. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

They cut off the end of the chapter to make people go on their site.
Spoilers for those who don't want to go there and want to know what was cut out:










The treasure was the unrefined herb they were looking for. She tells Adelia "I saw you crying in my dream" and Adelia is confused, until she continues with "You lost your father and brother after your mother. That must be why you were crying so much... Adelia, my child." Adelia realised her grandma was thinking about her, not her mother, and how she knows of the past she had to endure alone. ╥﹏╥

A TRULY 100% PLATONIC CHILDHOOD FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN A FEMALE AND MALE CHARACTER I'm sooo happy there's nothing actually more there, they're just really good friends and I'm so here for it. You really felt their friendship in the recent chapter (34), I laughed at ML's reactions to the redhead's love interest. They're great. Can't wait to see more shenanigans

oh my gosh this chapter... the tentacles?? ero trap dungeon, well - good to know what's coming so I can mentally prepare before the next chapter comes out (I will die once again if we see more of Rufue in there i'm so gay for her)

Anyway the quality of this chapter makes me think the author may have some experience from before and I would gladly read more ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Of course, there's also the potential for doujinshi if this series becomes more popular (it deserves to)

I can't believe how pretty the art is, ty for uploading the bonus chapter ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

I didn't know this was going to happen, but I had the idea that the couple could adopt Letitia now since they already think of her as a daughter for a while. Glad to see it happening! I was also thinking it could make marriage to the duke easier, now that she would no longer be considered a commoner (idk how strict the marriage laws are in their world, I just assumed).

[Mild spoilers, especially for ch 21]

The deveploment of the story and characters/their relationship feels so natural, it really feels like they are taking their time. The ML wants to make sure the FL is okay and feeling good, he doesn't want to rush things and is respectful of her space - and oh my gosh, any kisses they do feels so nice to see, whether that be little pecks or something more.

The story also feels realistic for the most part, with how she is shown to be healing from trauma, as well as how the characters around them act. When the servant (not palace maids) saw the hickeys and had that reaction, it makes sense, as no one else knows how she is actually like. They see her as someone with the mind of a child, and of course, want to protect her. I can't wait to see how the story unfolds in the future and when others will know the truth.

I'd be really interested in hearing someone's take on this series who has experience on mental disabilities that the FL is showing. In general as well, I'd be curious to hear more from a disability perspective and how it's portrayed in the manwha, despite it not technically being real. I understand that the people around FL don't know she is pretending, but man, something about the characters infantilizing her hit me a bit as someone who is AuDH.

In general, I kind of hope this series would show different kinds of disabilities. Not just physical, but also some other mental disabilities. I know it's unlikely, but I could see this story not doing bad with that.

I also can't wait to see the future where FL and the ex-fiancée become friends. She (ex) is clearly implied to not want to get together with ML, and I can see the two becoming close friends when they eventually get to know each other (maybe it starts when FL is still pretending, maybe it starts after she starts showing her true self). If I remember right, the ex was implied to be into swordmanship... hell yeah.

Tbh, if Jaina turns out to be an intelligent demon or a half-demon or something, I think that would make this story a bit more interesting - it would just be a small twist on the typical tropes, that instead of "just" using black magic (which seems to be implied a lil bit so far) it's actually more innate than that for her. Especially if the fact that there are intelligent demons is more hidden than known.

I still don't like the idea that the brother and CP fell for her bc of dark magic or some shit - that's just lazy writing. (It's not yet confirmed, that's just the feeling a lot of people have gotten so far and I, unfortunately, agree.) I don't care to see the CP be all happy with MC only for MC to think he hates her, and then her being the one who ends up breaking his heart (bc of something he couldn't control). Like dammit, have Jaina seduce those men without any love potion spells or that crap - let her use actual tricks and be cunning to get past MC's inteference to get the men's interest, and eventually get them to fall for her. Manipulation is much more interesting than just magic. Have the CP be more shallow by falling for it, instead of him being truly head-over-heels for MC.

toxic + toxic = not toxic, that's how double negatives work, right? Two minuses make a plus?

They deserve each other
