For more details I’m rereading some parts of the novel:

So starting from Chapter 50 in the manhwa is when things started to change. It’s the same leading up to it where blondie used “delivering something” as an excuse to see her, but then them going to the theatre is completely new and doesn’t exist in the novel. In the novel, Raymond gets to go inside the room to talk to FL as Kylo leaves the room and the scene ends with Kylo in his thoughts about how he doesn’t like how they’re together beyond that door. Then there’s more scenes of Kylo at home with his dad and the dad being annoying as usual. As well as scene of the saintess thinking of wanting to go to the ball with blondie.
Then after that FL waits until the day of the ball to choose her partner, she also rejected blondie asking if she could go with him. FL personally asks Kylo if he can go with her to the ball. This is in Chapter 97 of the novel. There is no scene of the brother making her go with blondie or giving her the deal to make Kylo her only guard in exchange. There was no scene of FL asking the brunette girl to go with Kylo to the ball. The ball event was actually pretty brief and ended with no conflict. Though I believe they added more Kylo and FL moment with the dancing scene in the manhwa, which is nice. They actually dragged out the ball event to be longer than the novel had it.
In the novel FL and Kylo entered the ball and went around talking to other nobles and FL introduced Kylo to several women and left him in a crowd of woman while watching from afar. She had mixed feelings of feeling gloomy and also proud that people are fawning over him. She thought it would be good if he found someone to marry. She thought about marrying him but due to the circumstances of limited time (I forgot if this was included in the manhwa), she believed it’s better that Kylo doesn’t get married to her in case he becomes a widow. (I don’t think this is covered in the manhwa yet actually). The ball event ended after FL saw brunette girl and Kylo talk, FL felt sad again but thought it would be better for them to develop something, then Kylo and agnes talked and left it on a sad note.
Thoughts: I don’t mind it when the author adds NEW events to make more content within the story. I just don’t like it when they CHANGE already existing scenes in the story for the sake of more drama.
what time-limit are you talking about? was she supposed to go back to the normal world?

It should be discussed during or after the ball. There’s a disaster event where monsters come through a rift and in order to close the rift, someone needs to sacrifice themself. It was part of the original plot that Kylo closes the rift and dies. FL doesn’t want that to happen so she decides she will be the one to do it since she has the power to do so, but she’ll still lose her life in the process. Hence why she’s saying there’s a limited amount of time until she goes to sacrifice herself on her own.
thanks for explaining!
Looks like they’re changing and adding more conflict into the manhwa than what was originally in the novel. I can see why since it’s possible some novel readers may have thought the story is too light and has little actual conflict, but I’m also conflicted because I didn’t mind it having little conflict. It stood out that way compared to other stories that used drama as their main source to keep readers entertained.
The black haired saintess was NEVER a problem at all in the novel. She was hardly involved with the main characters and was more like a side character whose info of her ending was thrown in at the end. It was never relevant and never caused any problem for the FL. I don’t even remember the saintess having a thought about sabotaging anything going on between blondie and FL because FL was always finding ways to get away from him anyways. It feels like they’re adding more interactions between blondie and FL to make blondie worse than he already was in the novel. In the novel blondie was delusional and annoying asf but he was tame by simply being delulu and clingy until near the end where he got more pushy and stepped over boundaries. He’s getting pushier sooner in the manhwa. Also they added more scenes of Kylo and blondie fighting here with that watching play scene, and added the revised scene of FL going with blondie instead when she originally went with Kylo to the ball in the novel.
