Thanks for the spoiler, not really surprised abt the stepmother being dark mage, brothers get brainwashed and the og ophelia dead blablabla
But wow an emperor with inferiority complex over his own child and a rapist?? That's not really fresh but wow
Omg thx for sharing!!
Oh wow, it was actually very similar to what I theorised! The story seems very interesting but also I think I will feel a lot of anger for those "brothers"... Also yeah, it made no sense that Ophelia would be alive, I'm actually happy she isn't, because if she was, it would just be another person that would treat Bunny badly...
Yeah, the story is really interesting, I'm happy the emperor is a piece of ****, not I won't feel bad if his son takes revenge on him!
the emperor inferiority complex is at the top level, like how could you do that to a mere baby????
Oh my gosh, thank you for the spoilers. So many plot twists fr (°Д °)
I was thinking of stopping reading this story, because I felt bored but luckily I read the spoiler from you and it seems not wrong to continue this story
Okay but wait…the part where the father had a feeling his daughter was dead. Yikes like did he never went to go see her and confirm if she was alive? Like I get you rather pretend she is alive and well far away but still…
lol, the first comment completely negated your use of the spoiler warning
You talkin bout me? If so I'm sorry
Dang. what a sad end for Ophelia :/
Wtf... So the mc just forgives them and that's it?? I'm dropping this why can't the mc just be ruthless for ones.
The only reason she forgives them is because she knows now that they were not doing it of their own free will, but she does not give them what they want (aka being family).
At least it was satisfying, rather than after apologizing then being a happy family (after all she went through with that family)
But wasn't one of them not rlly brainwashed? Idk who, but I read the spoilers and the mc said "Your not brainwashed, so you have no excuses."
Imo, that's not rlly satisfying. Don't attack me for this, but that's the same lvl with what you compared with. They r literally still there, she still talks to them, goes to them, and from the spoilers I've read the family(idk who exactly) will like help the mc resolve this misunderstanding with the ml(I think something to do with her identity?? Idk, I have a fish memory )
Hahaha I'm not a narrow minded person in an open conversation like this, I can take your opinion well, and in fact I haven't found out if the pace of this story will exactly match the storyline in the novel... Because most novel stories adapted into mahwa/manhua are sometimes not exactly the same as those in the novels(￣∇￣")
True, but sometimes the differences aren't that bad. It's like a hit or miss, I just hope the mc will just treat them as if they don't exist. Jk jk ik it's harsh but low-key they deserve. Maybe I'm just so fed up with author's abusing the "brainwash" plot, especially if the mc died in the original. It's like a forced plot, the author just wants an excuse so the characters will be forgiven.
I'm totally agree with you, at least they need to suffer too... Instead of living quietly after apologizing as if what they did with the MC was something that could be solved by apologizing
Yeah and then later on the story the author suddenly surprise attacks you with "AHA! They r actually brainwashed!" Like all the anger and energy is just wasted... I can't rlly explain this feeling. And then obv the mc will forgive them cuz they were not in control but still!!! All the anger build up within me is still there.. But you also have this fine line of them being brainwashed so is it rlly right to still be mad at them??
All in all, I just hate hate HATE the brainwash plot!! It's so overdone, and it creates complicated feelings.
So the Stepmother was never a Saintess, she just used her "power" to manipulate and brainwash ppl into thinking she was. When in reality she was a dark mage.
After the first wife died the Saintess brainwashed the father and everyone into thinking she was a Saintess and became the second wife. She used her power to make the father belive that a curse had been placed on their family aka Ophelias curse and had Ophelia sent away for "her own sake".
The father came acorss Bonny /Boni who was starving and was intrigues by the will to live in her eyes and took her in. The Stepmother used an exuse of Curse tracfer from Ophelia into Boni to save Ophelia, but in reality its a curse on Boni to make everyone hate her.
The stepmother had brainwashed everyone and wanted to hurt Boni, making her life tormented and have her die from mentaly breaking. Hench the "teacher" drugging her and manipulating her (later it is revealed that Boni may be the next saint, hench the stepmothers hatred for her)
If FL is the next saintess, the temple will have to get involvet which will reveal the stepmothers black magic. Hence the atempts to break FL.
The father knows something is off in the house as the mindcontrol on him is weaker because he was been away, but still lets things slide. The brothers warm up to Fl and start to care for her. But the stepmother increases her mindcontrole as it no longer works on FL.
The brother will try to hurt FL and try to slander her as they grow older, under the step mother mindcontrole.
Later the stepmothers dark/ black magic / mindcontrole magic gets reveal and she gets imprissoned and executed. The brothers ask FL for forgivness and she gives them that, but also states she never thought of them as her family / brothers.
Oh and when the stepmothers dark magic / brainwashing was revealed, the father confronted her. The stepmother threathended him with Ophelias life if he did not let her go. He did not, he had a feeling that Ophelia was already dead.
Aparently after stepmother sent Ophelia away.. Ophelia was killed by monsters in a dark forest.. So she was dead al along.
Fl belives she reincarnated / soul trancfered into Boni's body after a failed ritual, but the truth is she did not soul tranfer/ reincarnate. She is Boni with memories and knowlege tracferd into her through the ritual from a dead person from another world, so Fl was alway Boni.
Damian is a whole other story...
So the Emperor became obsessed with Damian's mother, going so far as to kidnap her and inprisson her in the palace under the guise of "protection". He R-s her and force her to become his comcubine, and the Empress feels sorry for her.
An Orical arives stating that Damian the comcubines son will be the Hero of the Empire, brining salvation. This Orical causes the Emperor who has an inferiority complex to spread word that Damian will bring war to the Empire instead, on the day Damian is born the Emperor starts the war and blames his son for it.
The Empress helps Damian's mother flee with her child and has ppl help hide them in the Trash Pile.
The Emperor spreads word that Damian's mother was a Seductive Black Mage who brought chaos and war to the Empire, all because he didnt want his son to be a hero when he himself was a failure.
Fl helps Damian become Empreror and he asks her to be his wife.
Thats all i could find.
Tho there are sidestories.
