im back again with the spoilers
The chapter we are in is around in this part of the novel so continue reading from this chapter on if u wanna read (its completed!) https://readnovelfull.com/the-villainess-reverses-the-hourglass/chapter-159.html
The next two parts of the manhwa: Aria' Visit to Judge Frey and Mielle Trying To Frame Aria.
Part: Aria's visit to Judge Frey.
- White haired man in the cover is King Lohan of the the Croa Kingdom. He isn't a love interest but he has made suggestive comment to tease Asher and Aria.
- The judge's name is Frey. She is the sister of Aria's biological father. Her father is Chloe (yes, a feminine name). He was named so because his looks were so beautiful he looked like a girl when he was younger. He looks a lot like Aria.
- The next part will be Aria visiting Judge Frey's home. Frey will ask personal questions to get to know Aria since Frey suspects Aria is her niece. After they have tea and talk, Frey pulls out some male clothing and raises Aria hair to make her appear more masculine.
- This is when Frey realizes that Aria really is her niece. Frey tells the prince of this realization. Asher then sends a letter to King Lohan. King Lohan then informs Aria's grandfather (the current Marquis of Piast).
- The grandfather is the current Marquis despite having a son is because Chloe is still looking for Aria's mother. Aria's mother used to be called Apple as a name while she worked as a prostitute. Chloe is busy looking for Apple that is why the grandfather is also looking for Apple since he wants his son to be happy and succeed the Marquisate.
Part: Mielle Trying To Frame Aria
- After Aria visits Frey, Mielle and Lady Isis (the 'former Crown Princess'), she hatches a plan to frame Aria. Mielle pushes the Count down the stairs and then screams hoping to frame Aria who she was with.
- Aria manages to turn back time a little. Asher comes at the nick of time to teleport to Aria and then teleport themselves out of the Mansion. They went to a lodging outside the capital. Aria lost her bracelet but Asher has a spare (I think) that she uses.
- They stay at the lodging where Asher pretends to forget his savings and tells the lodging owner to keep a tab open. Asher tells to owner he will pay it back by sending a servant over. This open tab will be a receipt later on and will be used as evidence when Mielle brings Aria to court for 'harming' the Count.
- Asher and Aria made sure they were seen for witness accounts and statement. They kept travelling to reach the Kingdom of Croa where we will later on meet King Lohan, the guy on the cover.
- During Aria and Asher's travels, Mielle began to spread rumors of the supposed event where Aria pushed the count. This is later disproven of cours.
THAT IS ALL FOR NOW. (ㆁωㆁ) I cant wait for the manhwa to catch up on the novel. A LOT of things go down and honestly, the plot? juicy, thick and FULL of flavor.
THANKS KWEEN

aw shucks ( ꈍᴗꈍ) no problemo amigo
(◕ᴗ◕✿) thanks bestie
all for promoting the novel and the smut scene of Asher and Aria (｡•ᴗ-)✧ thank bestie
Omg omg there're SMUT SCENES in the novel ????
YES THERE IS BESTIE(｡•ᴗ-)✧
//more spoilers
- after they get married, they escape to one of Asher's villa since if they christened the bed in the imperial palace, people will watching. (The first night has audiences since most imperial marriages are political so to ensure the couple did the deed, there are people to watch them)
- Asher didn't like anyone seeing Aria like that so they escape to his villa and they had steamy moments ( ꈍᴗꈍ) (only one part is kinda explicit and the rest are cut short.)
yooowww, i am more shookt abt that kind of tradition
I love this a lot when it was still fresh. Of course, I didn't like some stuff like the implied torture and whatnot, plus the messy plot of the author. It was still fun to read.
I dropped it around the time skip. The writing and plot was bearable before but it just got worse.
(disclaimer: my opinion, if u disagree lets chat it out since this story has so much potential but it kinda flopped for me)
Estelle's sudden character development as a response to needing to be mature?? She can still be mature and grown despite liking more youthful designs. It was cool to see it but I think it would be better for her to gradually mature overtime instead of instantly. Like, let her struggle and understand maturity then suddenly gaining it out of nowhere. It would have helped us grow to respect her as a character and and a woman during those times fighting against patriarchy. Representation matters after all.
What's with the absolute lack of character depth of Karl and the Duke?? (Compare Claude of WMMAP to Karl and the Duke and youll see what I mean by lacking). Yes, they have a background story but it seems so flat? I don't know why but it feels as if there is nothing beyond their 'I hate everyone but Estelle' attitude. Yes, it is the absolute sweetest but if there was some more writing put into it, they would have more character depth. Like, they would grow with the main character so to say. The lack of conflict in the change just boggles me.
The (kind of) awkward becoming of Emels and Estelle's relationship?? Yeah sure, bodyguard and aristocracy, woohoo. But then the ML is acting like a jerk? and the MC manages to mature yet not change some form of her thinking? I thought she matured? Was there really no though behind author's eyes when they created the storyline?
Let's be real, he was alright up to the moment he started acting like he was the main character like excuse you? I liked him as a character and as a friend of Estelle but as a love interest? I can't feel the chemistry. Mister piano man has more chemistry with Estelle than Emel.
It also doesn't sit right with me how he chose to up and left? If I'm correct, he would around his twenties, a full adult and he chose to NOT communicate and instead inflict misunderstandings to Estelle? At the very least she deserves as EXPLANATION. Why did he torture her like that? ESPECIALLY when he was her first love?? For the sudden character development of Estelle??
Yeah sure, you're investigating yada yada. But Emel was also raised as an aristocrat, he would know that reputation matters. Did he not think Estelle would react all calm and composed when her first love walks in as an escort of her (supposed) rival aka the princess?? Did he not think, most of all, of the pain it would cause Estelle? A young girl who is still growing? Yeah no, Emel, get out.
Finally, did anyone else get annoyed with Estelle when she suddenly change from mature to dangerous woman but then decided to lose all composure in front of EMEL??? Sure, it was a mental breakdown but in the end, it genuinely represented what we needed in Estelle as an MC — woman power, girlboss, being rebelious and dangerous. Though she did have a bit of an overkill, I thought she would at least retain from that phase.
ANYWHO, sorry for the rant. I wanted get it off my chest. Have fun reading! If you like it, go ahead but I do advise not to invest too much interest. It can become frustrating if u do so. You do you guys, happy pride. (ㆁωㆁ)
You expressed my feelings, 100% agreed
Damn you’re wrote a whole novel and i wholeheartedly agree! I feel like Estelle suddenly becoming ‘mature’ and just shedding her personality was very sudden and weird. Another thing that odd is the fact she allowed the empress and princess to treat her like that for so long. Like she goes on and on about being a Castello and knowing that no matter what she does she will be judged harshly cause of her bloodline, yet acts calmly and takes it. Also yea Emel being a weird obsessive jerk out of no where shook me tf up, and nothing irked me more than his whole “she’ll never understand the real me” as if he wasn’t the one who decided to put on a act. He literally made all these choices by his own will deciding what Estelle would want rather than listening to Estelle and asking her. What made him think that showing up as princess iris escort would be the thing that helps him win her back? Or when he trampled over he feeling a AGAIN? Honestly there’s way more I can rip on but yea I agree with u 100%
EXACTLY!!! The author really seems to rush thing to get to the drama. Granted, without drama it can get boring but I really do prefer filler scenes with plot than the absolute mess of the plot depth right now.
My thoughts exactly on Emel, sweetie. Like?? YOURE THE ADULT, there is a responsibility on your actions cause youre grown. But he starts acting like he going thru puberty again and acting as if the whole world is against him?? Bestie nah, Emel better have a redemption arc to redeem himself.
Yes, yes, and YES! I think their are other ways to introduce drama for the story without a huge shift in personality that’s also contradictory. Like Estelle new personality isn’t even being executed fully because she switches up when it comes it other! Also I think her liking cute stuff and still being a bad ass is way cooler than her fake maturity act. Like imagine being talked down to by a 16yr old carrying a stuff bunny that’s so funny to me and reflects Estelle personality. She’s not dark and brooding, she’s refreshing,light, and has a lot of humility. Also her going to social events and caring what they say about her is very weird too
Emel is a whole can worms I don’t even want to open because he makes noooo sense. Before I could tell this going in a “ohhh they’re gonna be together” he was okay but once it shifted to a romantic path he started becoming a obsessive loser who has a bad case of “no one understands me” complex. His redemption arc better come swiftly cause ion like how he’s acting. He’s the adult (like you said) and you would think he would just talk it out and explain why he wants to become to marquis instead of lying to her,rejecting her, showing up in plan to mock her, and then bitch to her about your feelings and how their two different versions of you, confess to her , and reject your statement about how they’re are two different versions of you.
Also bestie he won’t he getting a redemption arc and you know it you see how he acts he’s gonna just gaslight Estelle and then probably risk his life for her and then boo they kiss and fall in love. Emel is way too self absorbed for that (atleast that what’s his current actions show us)
FACTSSS!! Everything you said are so true and I'm happy I aint alone in my #EmelNOTTheML agenda
I already lost hope when he decided to be a dick to Estelle this 'redemption arc' hope I have is for Estelle to be happy, OUR GIRL SUFFERED and yet she chases after a guy that will probably bring her some happiness but caused more grief. Plus, the author is really pushing them together
these aren't spoilers just some speculations.
- i think the frozen mother will be good but might cause some misunderstandings. Like, she might turn away from both the duke and MC thinking that the duke found someone else and MC is their child. ಥ_ಥ
- for me the duke and MC have a good relationship but we hardly ever read about a mother figure coming in so I think the author might make the duke choose between MC or his wife. i think this a high chance.
- MC will be ridiculed for being an orphan, low born and uneducated etc. since she is the Mc so why not, its pretty typical for this story theme and genre. ʕ ꈍᴥꈍʔ
- MC friend (Monica? I forgot) might be a future rival and or a key figure in destroying MCs path to happiness. She is mentioned so much that I think the author wants us to know theyre close but BOOM PLOT TWIST, Monica is actually bad and grew to hate MC. /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ
They said that the mc have higher statut than the king and their god? Who would dare to disrespect her or insult her xD
wasnt it Madeleine or something
if ya'll havent read the novel, i really recommend it even though the translation is a little unclear at times. Here's the link.

The next major events that will take place after this chapter:
- Asher goes to Aria's home to receive the blessing of the Count for their relationship. Asher rides a really flashy carriage and circle the capital once so that everyone would see that he is heading to the Roscent Mansion.
- Aria having a lover ticks off Cain so he decided to team up with Mielle so that they can kill Aria (Mielle's goal) or separate Aria from Asher (Cain's goal). They tried convincing the Count not to allow Aria's and Asher's relationship but the Count allowed it anyway.
- Mielle became anxious and decided to frame Aria for murder. Mielle calls Aria out to the hallway near the staircase. Mielle pushes her father down and screams, trying to frame Aria. Without the hourglass, Aria panics too and reverses the hourglass to create a window of time but luckily Asher teleports to where Aria is and gets them the heck outta there.
- btw, Aria's bracelet? It has a gemstone which changes color when someone with magical powers uses it. Asher notices it but decided to ask about it later since he is unsure.
- Aria and Asher left evidences to support that Aria was away from home by going on a trip. So she couldn't have pushed the Count like what Mielle says she did. Count wakes up also but is paralyzed and unable to speak.
- A trial for the attempted murder of the Count was held but Aria's case was so solid that Mielle was accused of perjury (lying on the stand) and taking the drugs hallucinogen (cause she kept saying Aria was the one that did it). She was sentenced to house arrest and was tested for hallucinogen.
- The judge then asks to meet Aria privately. She makes Aria wear men's clothes and asks weird questions. Turns out Aria looks like the judges brother but as a female. The judge tells Asher what she thinks of Aria and Asher investigates it.
(I'm gonna skip some events in between before the next major event i'm spoiling since it's intricate and hard to explain without making it into an entire essay)
- Turns out Aria's father is the son of a Marquis in the neighboring Kingdom. Aria's father fell in love with Aria's mother at first sight and has been looking for her. He didn't know he has a child but comes to regret not finding them sooner.
- Aria's parents reunite and live a happy married life as the Marquis couple.
And that's all to spoil for now!! if u guys have any questions or want more spoiler just comment on the threat (◍•ᴗ•◍)
OMG Thank you ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Then what happened to that bitch lady isis?
she get beheaded and her body gets hanged on the empire's walls for treason!! ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Thank you, its nice to see that her parents can live a happy life too
Don't wanna say this but..............
Serves her right hehe (=・ω・=)
may i know which chapter in the novel is the continuation after this last updated manhwa? ╥﹏╥
wow i love the sound of this (▰˘◡˘▰)
What happened to that bi... i mean millie
Try 157
aria made mielle kill cain (the original target was annie but that's too difficult to explain). asher got involved in the case and ruled that mielle was evil and should be executed. in the end, she was beheaded. a fitting end for a wicked bitch
thank you soo muchh luvvv
No prob (=・ω・=)
ive had a friend spoil me on this manhwa when i first read it. Sylvia, as far as I remember, gets blamed for losing Aileen (the spoiler). I forgot what happened next but Aileen I believe got distracted by sometimes and wandered off or got pushed aside by a guy (? still not sure about the reason.)
I do remember this becomes another turning point for Sylvia to stand up for herself and to strengthen her resolve to be live for herself than to gain the approval of her family. (not sure about this one) I think Aileen gets injured and faints or something. Sylvia began to grow a little wary of how she treats Aileen cause she now knows that if anything happened to Aileen, it would be all her fault.
(small theories based on spoilers and from the released translation)
1. (SPOILER: Aileen is a premature *white lotus) Aileen is a genuinely good person but I think the reason she's so sus is because of the way she doesn't try to break free from the protective mold placed on her. Lets be real, she could've cleared some things up if she stood her ground but she didn't. Though she is good and kind, she actually keeps tabs on Sylvia cause she's scared that she will be treated the same way Sylvia was before. I think she's scared she won't be recognized for her worth like Sylvia was and now is trying to maintain her place discreetly.
*White lotus: term used for people who act nice and play the victim on the outside but has ulterior motives in the inside
2. (theory + small spoiler) Daniel, the blond brother, when he returns he become aware of the weird way the Atlante family treat Sylvia. Atlante treats Sylvia waaaayyyyy too bad since childhood and he catches on. He becomes an ally to Sylvia.
3. (theory) Sylvia's contract is her soul. Sylvia's body/soul has a lot of mana/magic/power naturally but wasn't developed because she was neglected. She was able to contract the demon cause of her strong desire to reincarnate which made the demon aware of her. I think she will be used as a vessel of destruction (opposite of a saint which Aileen is coined as) and a sacrifice for the demon to take over.
sorry for the unsure spoilers. i dont remember much details since I was spoiled months ago. Hope it helps (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Ooooohhh all your theories are so interesting and exciting ლ(^o^ლ)
thank u!! love the username ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Ouuu this is just the perfect amount of spoiler and v good theories thank you~~~
But i read up to chap41 ! SPOILERS vh 40-41 ! I'M GOING TO TELL WHAT HAPPENED IN THE NEXT TWO CHAPTERS SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET SPOILED DO NOT READ AND THANK YOU
As far as i know sh'es not blamed for it, Aileen got kidnapped by human traffickers, she'll find their location thanks to Sylphyd, send a message to the duke for them to come, free all the girls and put a protection on them so they'll not get harmed while fleeing, she also put a barrier so that the bad guys won't be able to escape, when the duke, cedric and the Knights come, they won't be able to enter because of the barrier she put, she'll come out like a hero holding her sister in her arms,when they see her they look quite shocker than she hands them Aileen , Tev runs to her while she tells them what she did , but she faints because she used too much of her powers, by the end of the chapter aileen woke up but sylvia is still unconscious and the doctors can't find the reason why she's like that , and we see the duke looking kind of worrier ?? and when he heard that the inspector wants to interrogate sylvia oce she wakes up because she was the one who found them , the duke got andry and said tha no one is allowed to interrogate an "Atlanta" .
And voila, this is what happened so far, however, they light blame her afterwards i don't know but i don't think they will after that unless someone frames her, for example the empress who wants her dead because she's ruining her plans first the black scorpion and now the human trafficking !
omg finally!! thanks for the spoilers! i dont remember much what was spoiled to me since it was a while ago ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Haha don't worry , i for one, thought that they'll blame her and that her family is suspicious! But after ch41 i don't know anymore lol. I don't think they're going to acknowledge her immediately tho , but i hope that she'll jus be happy whith tev and sylphyd forever haah
Oh my! I've never been complimented for my username before!
okay for real, the director is acting SUPER TOXIC. Granted, he has some major trust issues and Suha hasn't really talked about anything with him yet BUT i will give him the benefit of the doubt.
i mean, in a way, isn't he minimizing threats against Suha? (doesn't justify being THAT possessive but in his head this might be a solid plan to keep Suha safe)
He should have talked about it though like the adult he is but I'm sure this won't take a turn for the worse. I think he has something planned which means he has to cut off possible contacts those assholes have to Suha.
it sucks he took this route but lets be real, Suha will do anything to keep him safe for the price of his own self. I really hope it wont take a turn for hell but i'm sure there might be a ploy he has planned or maybe an arc for him and Suha to open up to each other.
(this is completely my opinion and sorry for the sudden rant, i read this in one sitting)
Honestly, I prefer this than an abusive bitch. Director really needs to talk to Suha and explain to him about his insecurities. Honestly Suha sort of got me confused if he has feelings for the director. But at this point I could tell he does but is still afraid of rejection so he’s distancing himself a bit. Being possessive is a way of showing love, and the director is intense and I hope Suha sees that and not think it’s creepy asf and push director away. I hope he tries to understand the director and atleast think about it. I have hope for them I mean obviously they’re gonna be together cause they’re the main, but I’m hoping for a good ending.
for ┗( T﹏T )┛ real! at first i was confused if suha really like the director but i can say he definitely does. problem is, suha has been through a lot (assuming he's a victim of SA, manipulation and blackmail). director needs to talk it out and hopes suha realizes it is kinda creepy but then understands that it was a response to their circumstance (assholes tryna ruin them, possibly more attempts to SA and more ab*se to Suha) ┗( T﹏T )┛
taesoo is such a dick, legit. i genuinely can't believe chunwoo chose to hurt himself for a man like taesoo like?? sure, nostalgia, old feelings, familiarity and all that are into play but omg i wish chunwoo would move on and get better with woojin
(p.s istg i lost the will to live when i saw woojon asking chunwoo if he has feelings for taesoo cuz obv he has :<)
I KNOW that Winter is annoying. Let's be real, he jumps to conclusions and has the tendency to completely oblivious of what's happening (like how uncomfortable the princess is on certain stuff). He also lacks empathy which is kinda given since he lived a hard life.
Yes, Winter is a dick but he also was raised that way and hasn't had a partner or someone to stay with him to tell him he's a dick. The princess is pitiful and in a bad situation, but she also has the tendency to jump to conclusions (different from Winter where he literally sprints to conclusions).
I've read some spoiler and honestly think its a good representation of slowly building a relationship and being an adult. Its all my opinion though and hope you guys stay to read it cause its really good and deserves some hype.(▰˘◡˘▰)
Thanks. ML isn’t that bad. Yes he is kinda an idiot and completely oblivious to his surroundings but only bc no one ever scolded him for it. Bc of the body swap he is forced to ser her perspective and he does change his point of view little by little. Everyone in the comments complain about him and hope she dumps him. But he isn’t even that bad. I‘ve seen far worse ML who were far more liked. Sometimes I don’t understand some of the people here...
For real! No one can even stand up and tell him he's a dick cuz of his reputation and bcoz of his power. Hopefully some readers realize that the reason he is portrayed as such a dick since its to make his newfound development much more impactful (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
idk guys, the butler?? hes kinda hotter than the marquis. (≧▽≦)
