It is the lack of respect to Viera to come out with a saying her stress of finding a husband to inherit her DYING/SICK (Cannot remember which one it is, or if it's both rn) is a straight up lie.
It fucks with her plans to succeed the heiress spot as well as fucking up Lukash's plans as well. Honestly it's disgusting, who would joke like that? Marriage is no joke, especially when it was the condition for a her, a woman, to take the Viscount in place of her sister who is too young to do so
It broke me when Agatha knew immediately that woman now standing before her is none other than the mistress she enjoyed serving. She may be blind but you can never really change your aura. She recognized it immediately that Karen was there.
I think Prince Gilbert should at least tell her how he feels about her. Not necessarily burdening her with the fact she is already married and in love with someone else, but to show her she is a desirable woman, contrary to how she was perceived growing up. Its worth getting your feelings across amd I believe would help boost her confidence. Carolina and Prince Gilbert may not be an end game, but she knows she is well loved by those who actually care.
I knew the dress had more potential than just being short and white! Its so beautiful!! Elsa and her magic may be weak now but it will flourish with more practice and training!
Yep, I expected this to turn out exactly how I imagined. He loathed the fact Philomela was being basically bullied by Patricia because she is loved so he used the bitch like the fool she is in a roundabout way to protect the girl he always loved in the most stupidest way possible. Instead of revealing Patricia was in the wrong, he isolated Philomela and still allowed her to be bullied to the point she was married off to another empire that Patricia was banking on her sister being treated far worse.
Stupid, plain stupid on the Crown Prince's part, same with the bitch.
I am here for weird as fuck shit. I love Airi and Licht, two terrifying duos and quite close. Maybe too close but it beats having them try to kill each other. Its an interesting concept. Also wouldn't surprise me if the end game turns out to be a throple.
This is so real. She was in love in the past life with the wrong person and in this one she is trying to get revenge. The ML knows her feelings but sees she is denying it herself because he can see she is fighting demons that don't make much sense except for what he has seen at the academy.
Chances are, in order for her to fully accept the feelings she has and allow him closer is most likely telling him about the past life. Cledwyn will see how much it would make sense why she is extremely smart but also falter when her fears and trauma begins to show at sudden points. Why she cries in her sleep and why she is so desperate for revenge on people who only simply bullied her and those who don't seem to directly affect her in this life.
I honestly love these two and how they fit each other well.
I lost it when I saw the artist added blush marks on the DAMN STATUED LION. Either that ain't no ordinary statue or the artist was being funny. Either way, I was dying when I saw that.
As soon as I saw that kiss when I am supposed to be sleeping for work ONCE AGAIN, I almost screamed and woke up my entire apartment complex.
Penelope still has her fears, understandable, but she chose to kiss him first and he took it. These two are the literal definition of soulmates.
I should be sleeping for work but I saw this updated and I wanted to cry. Callisto is the bestest love interest ml I have read. He loves her for who she is. Not caring about the past Penelope and her old personality or the new one that insults the Crown. It may be the cliche "she is the first to treat me like this" but I feel it was done right where it ain’t annoyingly used. How the man went with it is perfect.
He didn't know what love was and that is Penelope couldn't bear giving him a chance until he kept proving that those feelings are actually real when he didn't think so either. However, here we are with the man confessing to her genuinely while she still tried to put that wall there for him to destroy it completely because his love for her is real, red and passionate. He won't give up no matter how many times she insults him, put up barriers, anything... deep down, she knows she has affection for him too but she is scared and wanted to go home, not to be tied up in the game where she can't make her dreams come true.
Callisto said he would do anything to make it true if she stayed. Being the Empress and Archeologist would be interesting.
The way her family carries her is hilarious. At this point, she is just used to it, may still grumble but makes no attempt to ask to be put down.
Jeon needing his little sister to sleep with is cute. You have a sensitive boy who can't sleep well monopoly have a pink fluff ball that is seemingly human comforting you to the point of confusion.
I don't think Amelie is that bad. She looked uncomfortable at first with the marriage process. She didn't reveal any smirking or anything. She seems kind and gullible. The type to fall in love like a little girl but has no backbone to do murder. Edward though, he does seem to care for Scarlet but it seems the money was more important that he reluctantly married Amelie who seems to be smitten with him.
On one hand, I applaud the King for having common sense, but on the other hand, he went about it the wrong way which is why Tilda is doing this. She gave up hope that she wouldn't be like her mother by finding out her husband, albeit a grown man with needs but let's give her the benefit of doubt, was with another woman just like her father treated her late mother.
Between the in-laws, i would prefer the Grandma, she may be strict but she has been nothing but kind and and maybe a little stern but not too the point you dislike her. She may also be a little old fashion, but there's an air to her I just like compared to the mother-in-law who is really deadset in her ways of being just vile
Mother went 15 years without seeing her daughter, hearing two people already met her before she did hurt her and the fact the dad, while I get where he's coming from, said that extremely poorly worded, mama bear was like "fuck it, we are getting our baby girl back no matter the danger."
How does one grow a backbone when for 10 years of your life, you have been abused so many times that your mental state is severely affected? There is no literal way for her to stand up for herself when her family blames her for existing and causing the Duchess' death allegedly. False accusation just to make her feel lesser than human and find no real support until the ML came in to save her from misery and show her what real love looks like, of course slowly.
Olivia and her situation is painfully realistic for those who has been abused to the point, the slightest bit of accusation towards her makes her fear she did something wrong.
The Duchess, while betrayed by her husband who brought a child in from another woman, was slowly ready to welcome in the child because she saw the child did absolutely nothing wrong. She saw Olivia was already being abused in her own household and she wasn't having it. She decided to divorce her husband and most likely take her children with her after getting settled with her parents. Unfortunately, that never happened.
Now Olivia's father... he has his faults but according to spoilers, he was taken advantaged of by Liv's mother and blackmailed into having the child. He was right to be angry but now that his r*pist died, his anger redirected to his child, even stronger when his Duchess died. He could have just sent the child to the orphanage or given her to a new family, but no. He much rather let the poor girl suffer for her bio mom's mistakes.
Say what you want about the ML, I quite like him. What he did at the beginning towards a child wasn't okay, he made up for it with taking a step back from blaming the FL to giving advice and her being clear and rational. He is quite loving and awkward but he is also charming. He is slowly growing feelings for the FL but his childhood friend is ruining it by forcing him into an arranged marriage even though she is a CANDIDATE. I don't think the FL realizes she is also growing feelings for him but she is definitely enjoying his presence. He also makes a better father figure for Adam than his actual bio dad.
And the whole "he is weak against his family" is bs because he explained his homelife and how shitty it was. You expect just because he is a man he would suck it up and stand up for himself against his family, no. He has his issues and unresolved feelings about them.
The ML is a green flag.
I can't tell which one is the male lead and which one is the second male lead but I love Luca so much! Julian does give second male lead with villain attached to his title. Luca and Dorothy has a much better chemistry probably because they live together for now. This story may be the typical "isekai lady steals the original male lead" and this one is actually cute and makes sense. Hopefully the original female lead is not a bad person, but that hope will most likely dwindle.
Honestly, Riyun has been good at managing her abuse away from Melissa and tried her best to walk away. Melissa on the other hand, whether she is intentionally trying to rile her up or not, is only going to force Riyun's hand to strike at her. Like, she has already told Melissa to not touch her by yanking her arm away but to try again with touching her after being told not to, I would have pushed her too. Riyun has an inferiority complex due to trauma and being ridiculed for her appearance which in time periods like these, beauty was the best thing a woman has at her arsenal, still is today for some woman. Riyun isn't trying to act like a victim which is why she mostly hide her true colors despite the constant frown here and there and her outbursts at home against the maids, which was the parents fault for not giving her the love she needed. All she wants is to fit in but her pent up anger and trauma is thick and heavy, now slowly being exposed thanks to Melissa antagonizing her just because her brother favors the "ugly girl" over her...
I am on Riyun's side. She doesn't want to hurt people or herself but her anger is sharp and fast, anger that she built up most likely for years before Melissa came into the picture and nkw Melissa is just making it worse when Riyun only wanted to walk away.
Now that I have read up to 17, I am absolutely heartbroken for Riyun. Melissa pushed her too far and Riyun just snapped. Did Melissa deserve a beating? Yes and No. Yes, because she just wouldn't leave Riyun alone when she begged for it. No, because Riyun released anger on someone who didn't start her trauma, but she was definitely the major catalyst for Riyun's mental breakdown that led to physical violence.
I absolutely love Reynold. He is in between being interested in Riyun and unknowingly falling or already has fallen in love with Riyun despite knowing she likes Cain. He didn't give a shit and still gave Riyun his attention, teasing her, accepting her, using willing to use magic for her when it seems he doesn't like using his magic. He is absolutely smitten with her that he doesn't give a fuck if his "precious" sister got beaten up, he was still worried for Riyun. So the fact he saw her falling to her death, he definitely cares a lot more than he or anyone realizes for someone who is unattractive. She is attractive to him and him watching her fall was heart wrenching. I don't think Cain expected it either, it certainly seem like he wasn't angry enough to want her dead and was just as shocked.
I am curious though if this is Riyun's second life or a life she is inhibiting when away from her "original body"
It's concerning that there are some people who don't know how grooming works... Grooming would be actively trying to get the child to like and prepare them for something devious. Stories like these, the FLs AREN'T FUCKING TRYING TO DO THAT. In that case, it comes down to the MLs slowly but surely falling in love with the FLs.
4 years isn't that big, plus they both were children once as Annie has been working for the Duke since she was 8 years old. Granted, after seeing Narkiss' backstory, it seems she has met him a little older but still children nonetheless. Only difference, she turned into an adult first.
There is no grooming, zero. She isn't trying to get his attention so she can date him, he is ACTIVELY going to her and gaining HER attention. He is old enough to know what he is doing. Plus, I ship Annie and Narkiss better than Kyle.
