Oh gahd, this webtoon is bringing in all my pet peeves and rage baiting me 'till the end, I swear.
I remember reading this back then on webtoon and liking the premise as I'm also guilty of liking 2nd male leads. But then give up halfway because it makes me feel so uncomfortable, then read this again just now (which I regret).
I genuinely don't know what's the purpose of FL for coming into the world of Peony and taking over her body? She's not a damsel in distress, there is nothing for her to do. The least she could do is honor the wish of the body which she did not.
My pet peeves that really irked me the hell and a reference for future readers:
1. There is no grand goal for the FL, she just wants to marry the 2nd ML (she didn't personally know) from a novel. A parasocial relationship, thinking she's the one for him and she knows him best.
2. Not much inviduality for FL, her mood and actions are all in the expense of a guy. A dormant.
3. Didn't respect the wish of the original body and take for granted what the original body's held of importance.
(This is my biggest ick, I hate transmigrators, they don't get to boss around and flaunt the life and body that not rightfully theirs. Especially the OG Peony is always sick all her life, the least she could do is express Peony to people who yearns for her).
4. The ML is just a decoration. Yes, I like black haired ML and the artstyle is really giving. But for what he's worth, he's just being toss around and not really something, he's just a sad boy.
5. The ML is rude and the FL is a dormant. I can't delude myself enough to stomach this.
6. And bonus point, the ML in the novel still has feelings for the OG FL and saves the empress instead of FL. I hate tropes like this (this dog blood chinese novels) I've read a lot, when you save someone else, better believe me you don't deserve them alive and they are as good as dead to you as a matter of fact.
I say, if you could delude yourself enough and put a rose-tinted filter to this webtoon, then you have a romance. I think the redeeming part of this is the comedy which I don't appreciate because I don't think I could take lightly what's with this webtoon. Either way, if you could delude yourself then it might work, it's just a delulu transmigrator, a sad boy 2nd ML, shallows encounters, lovey dovey, the end.
I don't really like when Transmigrators or MC don't have purpose or just have romancing one person only in their head, just get the hella out of here. (Do people genuinely root for lovestruck fools??)

Get ready for some psychologically draining and
emotionally terrible mangas!
I wish there would be more in between in the story, everything just come to a full circle and nothing else, nonetheless, it's a solid plot.
FL's mother is a truly complex and fascinating character imo. People might not understand it and it sounds so ridiculous. But I truly get her point of view, no one knows the future while they are living through that hell. She's also living in uncertainty, who says they could be rich, that they will be what they are now?
She doesn't have that guarantee, she can't say to her daughters all those fancy and encouraging words, what if she shares her worries, their problems with her daughters? Would that be of any help or she would think it would just burden them? She choose to carry all the weight by herself, only letting her daughters face mundane problems of the world.
The FL's fate is also full of uncertainty, no one really knows so her mother just did the best of what she can do in every given opportunity. She might also blame herself to what the FL have become, that it's her fault, because of the current condition the FL have to be born.
Her sight became narrowed and she became full of inadequency to what she can do still—afterall her daughter is still sick. The goal is too far and full of uncertainty that she lose herself and sight of her own daughters in the way.
I hope there could be more, seeing as it just recently ended and it could be the artist just taking their time before the side stories or not but I'm hoping.
A list for those who are tired of the wholesome romance and fluff and want some spice. This is my personal collection of stories that ignite something deep within me.
Don’t we all love seeing MCs who’ve suffered and gone through all levels of hell finally extracting their revenge?
It’s just…..satisfying
stories where characters regret letting go or leaving the
female lead, mostly romance and some family related

Actually it hurts to say this but this' def one of those works that you hate liking and feeling satisfied about. Weirdly enough. (Good writing 100%)
Actually, in the end Sayaka and Akiyama might really end up together. After all, they had tons of issues back in higschool so it's really not gonna work out anyways and for this, they've come a long way.
As we can see in the end, even with Akiyama choosing to take care of Rui– Rui did not want it. She wants to stands up for herself and Aoi. (As we can see, she's a hurdle for them to end up together). So I can see the last scene Rui handing their hands together like giving her blessing.
(Their love story reminds me of Ao Haru Ride and this might just be the extension. Lol)
Kazu, this dude. With all the wrongdoings he had done in his life, the cheating on Sayaka is the least of his crime. After all, he did treat her well for the years before (compare to everyone else).
And Sayaka's friend did contribute to a lot of things. If I were the friend, I swear I can't hide those sh*t stg.
Kazu, in fact is quite lucky that despite all that, he got to meet someone like Sayaka and change for the better or he might just be as worse and a dead man now.
And Rui. This is not the first time I'm reading infedility theme, but she sure have the greatest story of them all mistress. With how badly written Rui's life is, it really take up two of a same kind of person (Sayaka and Akiyama) to get her better. Suprisingly, both are her sibling. Her character dev is insane.
And just for me, people who're sane and do less wrong to others should just stay together.
(Sayaka and Akiyama is no less a victim and trauma to Rui and Kazu but they still good.)
I do sure Sayaka and Akiyama end up together (in their 40s-50s, not too late) they might not have a child tho, but they have Shuu (he'll realize it when he grows up,), Keita and Aoi.
The truth is, Kazu def can solve the issue. Sayaka is not unreasonable, she's good at compromising and she's actually realizing that as well (not having child) before things pan out.
Sad, that it really took her a loop to end up with her shoujo love team and settle her attachement. Saya and Akiyama sure a soul mate. They don't need years together to be in perfect combo.
Sometimes in life– I didn't mean to read this but who told myself to get invested? Did anyone deserve to read smtg like this? No
First time coming in mangago after long and this what I brought to myself.
The premises and storyline is really great and I hope to be able to see the end of this. Unfortunately, there is no available spoilers and the novel is currenlty on-going and stop its update on 2022.
The latest novel chapter ends with the people of the empire milking MC's trading firm for their own profit and she's coming after them and the last chapter literally ends with “My name is Ellie Reiss, the owner of Elizabeth Company.”
This is slow burn and the face slapping is not instant and easy (as it should). With little by little effort, she tries to infliriate the Kingdom. It starts with small nobles and the frontier. Playing with the Kingdom's economy etc etc. I find it hard to read with how slow progress it and as it turns it out, it's still not finished. A bit bad, but maybe I'll go look for this again in the future and hopefully already finished
I'll have to cuss out seeing that list of infidelity/cheating now I'm here. We all know this is all f*ck up and it's hardly satisfying. It's like the few chapters would show the guy cheating and the rest of the chapters would show you why the wife is also cheatable.
But I also want to take my own mind here. Marriage is not bad y'all (I'm not married) but if you're dating with marriage in mind, ASK ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. What about kids? Poiltics? Work? Life is already tough as it is alone, it's not gonna be easier with two.
But for this story, this is actually be better if they consider separation. Maybe it's not as indeniable as they think it is. Rather than keeping it to themselves, as a matter of fact they should highly consider it.
S*xless marriage? Japan really be showing why they have less birth each year. I know the girl just put the things as a matter of course in her mind. In fact, in my country issues like these are rare.
Sometimes you'll put the marriage forward first, think about life and everything while having balance personal life with your spouse, be about sex, home, dates etc then getting pregnant. It's so natural in my vicinty, that after marrriage, house, stable income is a child. They should be getting there but it stop.
About the part that you've been brainwashed by society to have a kid while also equally brainwashing her that she doesn't need a child. ??? I feel like there are things we all like and we want to have it, it just differs how desperate we are to it.
For me, no matter what without s*x they are good as a friend. What makes them husband and wife? Because of paper? With how kind the guy is, I bet he will still be there even if they are divorced. Just speak and hang out if you have time.
And the posperous private life would be with Mayama, s*x, kid, child, intimacy, passion. You need this in life. I can't really understand why you want to spend the rest of your life with a guy who you only want to exchange words with. Weird.
If you're here, feeling infuriated of my used "Fujo" as username. Just so you know, I'm very young when I created this. My name is from the creator of many good BL manhwa, FujoKing. I really like his work at that time. So that's that.

I'm not coming for Kael but this is my opinion and on whatever you could arguably understand Kael's situation is. I just felt like he could be given more depth than be a passive character that he is. But in my overall conclusion, he's a meh character.
I know people here are just agitated on how non-responsive Kael character is, after all, we are reading this for entertainment. And Kael ain't giving that. Both Korean and novel readers would agree. You can't possibly argue about it because in fact, Kael is THAT character.
And honestly speaking, Hestia's feelings are also ambigous all throughout the story. And I don't feel like what she has for Kael is something romantic and love. That's why she's also quite a victim here.
And I felt like the sense of "Bias" is always coming into picture. After all, Kael is not totally blameless, he in fact murder a duke and for whatever reason is brain dead. He doesn't look like it, but Kael is possibly not that intelligent. (In all sorts of reason since the beginning of the story).
I'm also quite favorable towards my bias and could possibly do anything that I felt like benefial for them like what we do when we engage onto fanwars online. But in reality, we're of no help to our idols. It's actually hate vs hate.
If you realize that your idol doesn't really care if you protect their image, I feel like I would be very dissapointed as well just like Hestia.
And Kael not pursuing Hestia on a same level she gave to Diana is possibly the reason why people don't like him. Just because Hestia is favorable towards him, he still should not push anything foward as much. I think Hestia in this story is cornered (her fault tho), being too favorable towards someone could blind you and give others too much impressions as well.
Kael took advantage of that and he's happy, happy, which is too one sided. It's f*cking funny. He went like "we can just be happy together muah muah", and I felt like Hestia just went "I guess this is love and I live for him", bruh. I knew Kael don't know Hestia as much. He's pushing his feelings onto her. At the same time, Hestia is too favorable towards him.
Fans actually are selfish and act on their own initiative. Hestia now how to live for the consequences of her actions. Which is to live with her bias, arguably might not be what she envision. (I felt like bias is in fact not that deep. It's not love). Ps. I also won't like to date my idols.
I really waited for this scene and it shouldn't be like this. Although, I don't care for the most part. I really wanted to see a certain scene and event on which didn't exactly happen. The reason why Diana pour the tea is really aggravating and hella fun. She's being hypocrite about commoners, nobles and whatnot on her own beliefs on which Hestia boldy stated:
This is Hestia last drop before Diana pour the tea:
"Am I greedy because I became an aristocrat by political marriage? Then the prince who has become a crown princess with only one fiery love."
I let out a cold flame.
"You're just very lucky."
“!”
Diana is being so irritating at this moment. Hypocrisy at the highest level. While she ridicule Hestia and her commoner background and rise in status she also firmly believe she have what it takes to be wherever she is and not anyone else, and so it's valid although her and Hestia are basically the same.
But as hestia stated before, being a rofan female lead, she walks such flowery path. This is Hestia dragging her on her high horse. She's just extremely lucky and favored by the novel's creator
Oof that swimsuit is such a fanservice!! It's illegal!! Taerin almost gave me a heart attack ! ! !
