I'm not a fan that his majesty got jealous so early on. I would hope it's some other jealousy than the romantic kind, but knowing these series, it rarely is - at least when we know they're likely going to end up together at some point.

Yes, she is 18, but the characters constantly call her a child. She definitely looks like one, and she is also very naive in many ways (but then again, she is also smart and quick to catch on). This can work if we see her act more like her age and see her personality/capabilities come through, and only then would I be okay with the Emperor falling for her (because he would be falling for her mind and personality, not her physical appearance). It would be really fucking weird if he fell for he/did anything to her right now, as the manhwa also keeps constantly reminding us. I hope her growth was stunted by magic or something (or just mistreatment) and she gets to grow to look at least a bit older from now on.

(I know short women can be looked down upon and infantalised just because they look young due to their height/overall appearance, which is why I don't want to say "hell no" to this immediately. As long as we see her act her age and gain knowledge of the world before any actual romance happens, I'm good - rn the issue is that due to her meek nature and lack of general experiences, she can appear almost child-like sometimes, and that hits things way too close for my tastes.)

I'm trying to keep good faith and hope this is good, partly because I was so pleasantly surprised to see the Salvator family not be asses to her, especially the daughter she replaced. They didn't mistreat her and she even accepted her as a sister and genuinely cares for her - I loved that. The count didn't give me worst vibes either, it's likely he just wants to protect his own daughter. This replacement trope is common, but it is rare to se the MC treated kindly by the family. I wish we had seen more of them before she was sent to the palace, and I hope this isn't the end of things. I hope the sisters get to reunite and continue to have a good relationship.

I googled the korean name and couldn't find free raws anywhere but I did see this has 40+ chapters rn. Please someone pick this up, if you can handle typesetting and translating + getting the raws (idk how to do that tbh) I'll gladly do the cleaning/redrawing I just want more of this (and preferrably with better translation) please if anyone is up fof this hmu in the DMs I'm being 100% serious about this

"Blessed Saint Marianne, why would you bless Mayer Knox with every possible gift... except for the ability to read his own heart?"

I had to pause reading the chapter because of how much I started laughing at Father August's thoughts honestly he's so valid in giving up, both of them are dense and oblivious in their own ridiculous ways - sometimes you just have to choose your battles lmao.

I don't care if the pacing appears slow, I've read someone say it is faithfully adapting from the novel and that is always good to hear (even if they're not a fan of the pacing of the manhwa), I genuinely love these characters and always so excited when a new chapter comes out. MC and ML may be typical leads in some sense, but in others they're also unique on their own. I personally really enjoy their dynamic and can't wait to see where things go, even if it takes time ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

I love that there is no cold/uncaring/extremely tsundere crown prince/royal family here, or at least it only appeared so in the beginning before they got to spend time even a little bit and were still suspicious. Like, yes, MC is the white mage and the crown princess and is important because of that - but they all quickly started caring for her genuinely as a person and a family member (although this is still a work in progress, of course). The crown prince is attracted to her physically for sure, but that's not the reason why he treats her like he does - even before that whole blushing scene, at the dinner table, they rightly include her and make her feel welcome. Again, they genuinely do care for her as a person.

Ik this should be the bare minimum, but after so many cold MLs who had to be thawed out this is just. Really nice.
And that he honestly shows his care for her! The whole family just warms my heart in so many ways.

I can't help but to find the shocked complainers funny. "Why is this necessary" "this is cliche (implying it's dumb)" okay, and? It's the story the author wrote. It's a twist and I think it's a fun one, it's definitely more unique even if it uses the third life trope (and in my personal opinion, I believe her first life was her korean one, not the second one).

Okay, I guess you can be shocked if you consume a lot of these stories and forget the details. Maybe I'm able to enjoy myself more because while I haven't read the og work, I got to read spoilers from a comment section literal years ago, and have been just chilling and waiting for the revelation for the characters. I think, if you're confused, you should try rereading the series. I think you'll find a bunch of things that didn't make sense/were a bit odd, that this reveal explains ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ I know for me it was enjoyable to read while knowing the truth, similarly as to how Luca is also a regressor.

I know I had the advantage of knowing this in advance but man I still find it funny how it seems like some people never anticipated this? I think the series gave plenty of hints that our Judith is the og Judith, but I guess some of it could be guessed to be something like 'memories from og judith's body", but still. Sorry for laughing, don't take any personal offense ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Well I definitely wasn't expecting that!! I thought she was just going to caress his cheek and apologise for when she had slapped him, NOT GO FOR A KISS Σ( ￣□￣||)

I feel so bad for Kylo for the confusion that is going to bring. Too soon girlie, too soon.

(Never mind that it's noncon, not really a fan of that either)

What an annoying person, but thankfully not as a character (other than feeling frustrated for Rubetria, we know she's going to get it in the way and her being an obstacle first still makes sense, so it doesn't feel like she's just there for the sake of being annoying). The eldest brother sooooo clearly favors the twins over Rubetria, tbh we did learn the reason chapter and two back, but it's still ridiculous. There's no way he never saw or heard about Rubetria's bullying and abuse she experienced - there must've been something he just turned a blind eye to, rather believing that the people he thought were good were actually good.

I'm so glad the second brother is there with Rubetria, and is just as baffled/flabbergasted at Lilia's guts and how she played the situation. He really does seem the best of them all. Of course, do a degree he did also participate in her abuse (neglect), and he should've kept in contact/checked up on her more often, or at least write letters. At the very least he wasn't specifically neglecting/ignoring Rubetria, but the whole family in general. The father has no excuse because he is still a father, and should've thought about his kids more than himself. The eldest brother neither - it barely seems like he cares about Rubetria, from what we've seen so far. At the least he thinks Rubetria has it all, so he doesn't seem to even think about her, thinking she must be fine. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

I actually teared up while I was binging this from chapter 1 to 22. It feels so... satisfying? Comforting? Vindicating? To see Rubetria show her hurt feelings and the truth of her abuse, and seeing her abusers (yes again the bio family counts, they might have their own circumstances but neglect is still a form of abuse) wake up and realise what has been going on. Seeing them regret things. I couldn't articulate myself to do the same. Or well, I guess I just know that they wouldn't feel the guilt even if I was being honest, and would instead turn the blame back onto me.

So it's really nice for me personally to see abuse victims make their abusers realise their wrongs in a way that makes them feel guilty and regret their actions. Before, my favourite for this was Penelope from Villains Are Destined To Die, and Rubetria definitely comes up there, even from only these 22 chapters we've gotten so far.

Hello, what happened to the whole "stopping the war" plan??? Girlie decided to act on it but instead got sucked back into the doll and we're just ignoring it despite all the black smoke around the emperor during that meeting it's also frustrating how he goes along with the madman accusations and not even in a good way. It's just because he can't be bothered to do better. Erica needs to get her crap together and keep actually pushing him towards the right decisions or nothing will change, arghg... like dammit I wish we had more of Erica trying to persuade him to not hold the birthday banquet and into holding a memorial banquet instead.

It's frustrating bc this story has a fun concept and I'm actually enjoying the unique art styöe, but I wish we were more focused on the political affairs since it's trying to go for that but keeps ignoring them I wonder if this is based on a novel and if it skipped some parts, bc that's what it feels like to me rn.

Sidenote, if/when Erica eventually gets a physical human form, I hope her hair gets darker and won't stay blonde. Would make her even more different from Chloe. Preferrably she would look somewhat closer to her old self but knowing these stories it's unlikely.

One of these days I'd really like another story where the FMC tells the ML the truth/being a transmigrator/from another world!! I feel like this is story, while super pleasant and fun to read, is p basic/uses a lot of familiar cliches or tropes, so I don't have my hopes too high... but imagine. It would be fun.

Though knowing the prince's trust issues I don't think the two are close enough for him to believe her one sec ╮(￣∇￣")╭ but wahhhh this story is really so so pleasant to read, the art style is fun and clean and sort of fresh, if that makes sense, and this honestly feels like somewhat of a palette cleanser among the many other stories of the same genre. It's familiar and fun, but it has it's own little mysteries and story aspects that make you want more! Never mind the leads' interactions, I love them sm and seeing both develop more care and trust in each other (not necessarily romantically, I'm happy with platonic caring) (▰˘◡˘▰)

Chapters 17/18 aren't repetitions, they just skipped the original chapters 15 & 16 when uplpading here. So chapters 17/18 are correct, the two previous chapters are incorrect (on here).
