hey can I know the name and where I can read the novel??
the author is very strict on hunting down translator, while you won’t find any actual translations of the story, you can get novelupdates (except look for “In this life, I will be Lord) spoilers. the forum goes over all the things that happens, or you can try and make a kakaopage account and read on there. however if you don’t know korean you will have to mtl it of course
YOO I REALLY ENJOYED READING THAY thankyou so much!! The novel sounds really fun to read. It felt so satisfying to see all the small fries get put in place lol
Ikr like near the end when Tia was acting as the Deputy Matriarch and Perez was presiding the conference all the other nobles and aristocrats were embarrassed because they couldn't add anything to say when the both of them literally solved and talked about the problems like they were having afternoon tea Best power couple ever.
spoilers i’m going over: gallahan’s disease, perez’s life style, lombardy’s true power, how they cured gallahan’s disease, vestian’s (shanannet’s ugly husband lmfao) true colors
honestly tia is my favorite fl. coupled with perez they are a crazy power duo. i’m reading the novel right now and i’m super proud of gallahan winning the medal at the banquet. also the way rulac challenged angenas when they tried to steal gallahan’s ready to wear boutique store. reading the way the angenas were shaken up by rulac after gallahan got better was so so fucking cool. man bombarded into the meeting (he was once the chairman of!) and bullied the angenas head that no one in the meeting could side with him. hilarious.
anyways, this timeline is quite different from the previous timeline. i appreciate perez’s involvement in curing gallahan too. turns out rulac is Perez’s supporter and guardian. Perez also gets his own palace because rulac stormed into the emperor’s office after hearing his condition and made a somewhat fool out of the emperor. empress was so mad. the emperor basically ignores his children, but he HATES how the angenas family is growing stronger every day. perez was previously under the empress’s care, but then the emperor gave the authority to rulac. he knows he cannot challenge lombardy even if he is the emperor. i remember in the novel they described rulac as just sitting in the emperor’s office sit waiting for him to come back. that’s the power of lombardy for ya.
when it comes to gallahan’s cure, tia sent a letter to estira, when she heard of gallahan’s condition, she came back of course. she developed a cure but it was only 50% effective. she was missing one ingredient. funny thing is, perez and tia have been sending letters ever since rulac announced to the emperor he wanted to be perez’s guardian. it’s a secret between them :) they were talking about this flower that only grows in the south, and funny thing, it’s the same flower that’s used to cure gallahan. perez knew tia was sad, and while tia was in a bad mood because she was forced to ply with perez while her dad was lying sickly in bed, turns out perez spent time looking for books on gallahan’s disease and picked out all sorts of medicine books for tia. it made tia so happy. when she found out the flower they needed was the flower perez was talking about, perez literally ran away from his palace without any guards or maids just to go give it to tia. he’s so whipped. except rulac made it so clear he didn’t want perez liking his granddaughter (づ￣ ³￣)づ
i’m going to jump a bit to Vestian, shanannet’s husband and the twins father. he’s a total scumbag. cheated on shanannet, never loved her to begin with. he doesn’t deserve her. continuously pestered tia’s paternal grandmother’s sister in law (natalia’s sister, natalia was rulac’s wife, tia’s grandma who is dead) to sell a mine to him. basically embezzled a shit ton of money. i reallt admire shanannet but i feel bad she was totally unaware. fortunately, they divorced, but vestian had the fucking audacity to bring his secret lover (his childhood friend he liked before he was arranged marriage to shanannet) to a banquet, wearing shanannet’s necklace that belonged to her MOTHER. how low can you get? first you cheat and then steal one of the remaining jewelry of your ex dead mother in law? i hate him so much. fortunately tia made a way for the lover to be shown in from of rulac, and he made a whole scene about it, asking her where she got the necklace from. humiliation against a cheating bastard and a women who knew her lover was married is so amusing.
that’s probably all the spoilers i have for the novel. very good book imo, i honestly love their family bonds, but i’m a bit biased towards shanannet. she deserves a better husband （￣へ￣）
