Was the crown prince raised by the empress dowager? Or is/was his mother that terrible too? At least that means that he is immune to Eli's charms and schemes.
I hope there is another prince that can take the throne from him.
As someone who HATES anything spicy I can sorta understand his reaction ╮(￣▽￣)╭ But it's still no excuse to waste food like that!
My experience with Koreans taught me that what they consider not that spicy is WAY too strong for me. And if I'm not mistaken, medieval Europe had to import their seasoning from India and China, so the commoners weren't used to seasoning at all. While this is fantasy, it doesn't make much sense to me that she was able to get the ingredients to make a Korean dish or that people actually enjoyed it.
And judging by Naska's reaction to cotton candy I would guess that he, like me, has the palate of a five-year-old: loves sweets and can't handle anything bitter or spicy. Good luck, Sasha. After that mess, you'll need it. And I wonder if she is ever gonna tell anyone about him being a fucking dragon.
Wait, how are you gonna tell people that you were threatened if you are dead?
It's just stabbing in a place that doesn't kill instantly
Isn't she going to jump from the roof? And throw the knife towards them so it seems that they forced her to jump?
I don't know anymore
Aaaaaaah! I wanna see the reaction of the Korean people watching at home! May everyone realize how OP our Sung Ji-woo is (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Did the author change their mind about the setting of this arc in the middle of it? It seemed like it was in the past and now it's modern. Wtf?
The concept as such is that the mc is like a farygoodmother that beats Up the cheating Boy of an Female lead in some univers. In what time that Person lives in depends in the univers the Female lead comes from.
i think this arc is right in the middle of the change in eras around what meiji/taisho eras would be for japan?
getting foreigner influence, such as clothes etc, like a clash of 2 eras?
I meant in this specific universe, where she took the place of the wife victim of domestic abuse. I'm aware of how this kind of story is supposed to work.
Maybe...? But she just said that the new guy's love died in a plane accident. And judging by the few wearing occidental outfits... Isn't that too modern? I don't know much about the history of China, so I don't know. You most likely are right.
im also not sure, it was just my guess.
then again it could be all jumbled up since the world is inside a novel so it could be a era of it's own XD
If I'm understanding my history correctly, this arc is probably set in a city like Shanghai in the 1920s-1930s. Shanghai then was glamorous and cosmopolitan, with a lot of music, art, commerce, cinema, and more going on. It would also explain why we're seeing a mix of the past and the modern, plus the East and the West, including the cars and microphones and cheongsams and Western suits.
Since it is fiction, some artistic licence is probably being taken. (Like the plane crash you mentioned. That would more likely have been a ship or train accident since plane travel wasn't common before the '50s, I think.) But I'm guessing that Old Shanghai from the 1920s is what the author is drawing inspiration from.
Thank you!
True ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I think the setting is wonky cause it was based off a tv show, and most tv shows that are based off the past are incorrect in one way or another
i tought it was a novel made into a tv show?
Going by how they had hair and clothes, maybe thr 1920s/1930s, especially given all that talk of women and independence.
This is based on the Chinese Republic era which took place around 1910s to 1950.
This is when China started to industrialize itself and things like divorce and "freedom of love" become more "common" and all.
This is when the qipao starting popping up and people abandoned the old Manchu styled clothing from the Qing Dynasty.
People started to ride cars, airplanes, and mingle with the foreigners coming from England, Japan, and America among others.
You'll see both traces of the Qing dynasty and the Republic as usually settings like this focus on the change from old to new as well its impacts.
oof idk then man
Thank you!
True LOL
I don't think Lilith is a reincarnatior. I think maybe someone around her is, since she didn't react to the name of the novel but seemed triggered by the phrase "original story". Though that doesn't explain her weird behavior at the ball. I guess we'll see ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Maybe she has an evil reincarnated twin or something x)
Well... what if she simply didn't know about the novel and just got reincarnated?
LOL Maybe!
But then how would she know about the original story?
Maybe the person/ MC who was reincarnated changed her by the butterfly affect or something ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Theory here but what if the mc changed the whole story by including herself and lilith had a bad ending like a worse idk if it makes sense
Sorry to barge into your conversation but I was thinking that maybe she read stories in the past where you wake up in someone else's body? She might have also gotten the idea when Sasha asked her is she knew the novel, which is how she got the idea of there actually being an origin story. Sorry it's so long and again, sorry for barging in...
Maybe one of the possibilities I kinda feel it was kinda the mc fault for her bad life idk lmao ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
That's a good point!
But even if Lilith became a different person due to having a more difficult life it still doesn't explain why she would know about the original story.
It would be pretty cool if you were right. It would different from all the other isekais where the original main character turns out to be a crazy evil person.
Maybe, but then how does she know about the original story?
Right that is strange she reacted surprised not sure from what I saw from the raw doesn't tell me much she must know something since the original story she was happy and her parents were healthy but her dad isn't in this story so I feel mc has a bir of what's going on still not sure Σ( ￣□￣||)
Bit*
True, there are some things already very different from the original story. I haven't seen the raws, so I'm probably wrong. But I was thinking that maybe whoever is the reincarnator close to Lilith might have poisoned her mother to move things along and get the ending they want. Though that doesn't explain why Lilith was acting so seductive at the party ╮(￣▽￣)╭
To me it seems like split personalities or two souls in one body. Maybe somebody's transmigration failed halfway...?
╮(￣▽￣)╭
Σ(っ°Д °;)っ That would make sense! And it would be so original! I hope you're right! (⌒▽⌒)
Perrat most likely likes Vasser because she changed their lives for the better and because of her personality. I'll explain:
At first he hated her for ruining Kyle's life. But then she almost died and proved to him that she was on their side. She kept doing everything she could to help and she does have a very likeable personality. I think one of the reasons Perrat likes Vasser is because she, like him, would put her life on the line to help the Prince. And that she is strong willed and hard working. She is also pretty optimistic and I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say she brought hope to them.
From the looks of it, before Vasser came along they had already resigned to their broken castle and bad situation. Plus all of the servants were there for Kyle, but he was never the kind to ask for help or confide in anyone. He just demanded stuff and kept moving forward no matter what. Vasser's appearance gave them hope and slowly made Kyle open up.
So to Perrat Vasser protected his Prince and helped him open up a little. She made Perrat's life better, gave them hope and a goal. So it makes some sense to my why he would like her. But I think he should give up. He must be blind not to see that Kyle and Vasser like each other. And that's not gonna end well.
Wait. Like like-like? I thought he was giving her extra attention because theyre super friends and Perrat has always been fond of formal wear so he thinks Vasser would like it too.
I didn’t notice it until this recent chapter but then I went back and reread everything and it’s so obvious
Please tell me this brunette girl is not another reincarnator / transmigrator. That she is just someone who heard those ridiculous rumors about Canaria X Noah and about Cesar hating her.
Well, either way she just got the bitch slap of a lifetime, so I hope she won't do anything.#－.－)
I'm curious about this Arabella thing. Both the Duchess and the Empress Dowager were looking for daughters to compete for that role. What does it mean? Do they get a special power?
And who was the last Arabella? Could it had been Konrad? Is that why he has divine powers?
Also can someone who already played a role compete again? Because if not then Eli's broken foot might have been the Empress Dowager's fault. The last Arabella was a boy, so if they can't compete twice Eli would waste her chance. The Empress Dowager mentioned that she thought it was easier to marry a girl into the family and use her than adopt and train someone. So her original plan was to use Eli. With the result of the trial we don't know if she'll keep that plan or if she has a back-up.
As things are now there is no way Eli could win. Leslie is the one who studied and unless Eli's ridiculous plan works, she will be disqualified in the knowledge tests. So I guess we can wait for the moment the Sperados lose the support of the royal family.
Someone else commented that the title of this story doesn't make much sense right now. Contract princess? Is Leslie entering the royal family? I hope not, they seem like a dangerous bunch. Is that the "prize" for the role of Arabella? And how is Leslie supposed to deal with the divine power of the temple if it goes against her darkness powers? Or maybe it doesn't, the priestess did say she cheated at the trials.
I guess we'll have to wait and see ^^'
