Now that i think of it, the fl had bet on somethn to do with the sky (i think) &/or she has some sort of ability that shows onto the sky or somethn & the merchant's company (ml) made a deal that if she was right/able, she would get a chunk of the ml's stocks. then after winning the bet, she goes over to his mansion to finish some paperwork & was then where she met his sister & was invited to a tea party. I hope that clears things up a little. Help a girl out (/TДT)/
I actually think I know which one your talking about now but I cannot remember for the life of me so I have a list of stories that may fit(I didn't really look at plot)
The evil sorceress plans to survive
Shadow queen
I only treat villians
When the villainess loves
The mighty extra, one girl changes the world
The scorned villainess survives in the wilderness
The gangster baby of the Dukes family
Strange love rivals Increased
awww i really appreciate your help! thank you so much! i just skimmed through the list & sadly it's not on there ╥﹏╥but there were a couple i haven't read before so they'll be added onto my to read list haha
i guess to narrow it down further:
-the fl isn't a baby or child but a young women
-probably a princess (legitimate/illegitimate), at least a noble lady
-ml is a merchant (may not be noble by birth)
-fantasy & historical setting
-i'm not 100% sure but she probably had an issue with her magical abilities to show her legitimacy as a royal. & she made a bet against the ml that she will succeed with the ritual or somethn & she did. therefore, winning a chunk load of the ml's fortune. she might have even hid her identity when she went to meet the ml to bet.
i'm so sorry if this didn't help omg (/TДT)/
i've never thought of it but that's actually pretty close haha. but nope, not that one bc it's one of my all time favs(▰˘◡˘▰)
idk if it's just me but the mangas i've read in the past are marked unread or they're just completely gone from my reading lists. i could've easily found it through my lists but ever since this bug, now it's almost impossible to stay organized#-.-)
anyways! i'm still on the lookout so once i find it, i'll make sure to message you haha. thanks for the help tho & some more reading material(≧∀≦)

Hello again! I've been meaning to message you after finding the manhwa & I finally found it! It's called "An Extra In The Family Is The First To Be Abandoned"
She was actually a legitimate princess that was cast aside for not having magical abilities. The reason why it took so long to find this was because it was never an isekai & the ml wasn't the blond haired guy but the black haired one haha. Anyways, I really appreciate your help & thank god I got to share this story with you!
I've been searching for this manhwa i've read way back where the fl is transmigrated into a novel that has a historical setting with nobles, royalty, etc. (i know, very typical & vague) & i honestly can't remember if she had a step brother/step mother (or both) in this world, but the ml has silver/platinum blond hair & purple eyes (idk, maybe stretching the eye part a little). In order to make money, she visits a famous merchant (the ml) & gambles on somethn she read from the novel & becomes mega rich. She probably needed money fast to get away from the abuse. I barely remember what she gambled on but it was probably something supernatural. I think the ml had a sister & she becomes friends with her at a tea party. I'm guessing the original fl character was timid & subservient (according to rumors) so her sudden change in demeanor was what caught the ml's interest i think.
I know this is barely anything to work with but I would be oh so grateful to anyone who could find this manhwa. The art was really gorgeous too. I really can't tell if I combined multiple similar storylines or dreamt this, but am dying to read anything remotely similar to this. ┗( T﹏T )┛
