I love Mae and her works ever since her first story "the monster of memory/jiyi de guaiwu", as well as its visual novel adaptation on steam. Glad to see her new manhua is finally getting a translation. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Also if it wasn't obvious, the characters have chinese names because it's a manhua. Check out her Facebook if you are interested in sneakpeaks for future chapters (up to chapter 9) of this manhua + other art she draws of her original characters
This is a really interesting webtoon. It starts off slow but the story ramps up with a lot of plot twists and mysteries. Definitely deserves a higher rating.
It's always the interesting ones that are promos ┗( T﹏T )┛, hopefully when the novel gets a lot more chapters it will have an actual webtoon adaptation
Like some of the other comments mentioned, I think the ML likes the MC in the original story but because she died, he tried mending his broken heart with her older brother as they look similar.
Didn't expect that reveal at the end, I'm quite curious what's the story behind those photos
The ML wasn't the one who killed MC, it was that annoying girl Julianne who had her chamberlain (a sorcerer who is insane for Julianne) use a spell to disguise herself as the ML. After slashing MC with a sword, MC calls her out that there's no way it is actually the ML because ML would never harm her or speak rudely to her, so Julianne reveals her identity to MC and tells her she will attack (the spoiler said attack but i assume attack as in getting him to do it with her?) the ML disguised as MC.
Julianne tried to seduce the ML but he instantly knew it wasn't the MC and tries to cut her down but the chamberlain protected her. The chamberlain mentioned the ML's sword which is able to grant the owner's wish using blood which shocked the ML because no one but their family was supposed to know. Something happened afterwards (not entirely sure) but the chamberlain stabs Julianne and ML quickly ran to the room where mc was and he sees her on the ground. ML picks up her body where MC is barely alive and is glad nothing happened to him. She says "Thank goodness" before passing away. He held her body for hours until sunrise. Eventually the ML cuts MC's hand while apologizing to her and slits his own throat right before the prince and other people were able to get into the room.
ML was the one who sent them both back to the past but because of his wish he had a constraint placed on him. Example: He cannot talk about him regressing and etc. He truly loved mc because they met when they were younger and the reason why he glares at her whenever he sees her is because that's his yandere stare for her lol.
The reason why MC only remembers up to the part when the disguised Julianne slashes her is because a part of MC's will mixed together with ML's wish when the sword cut MC's hand. She believes that if she didn't love the ML he would be happier so the sword tried to do that by not letting her remember the whole situation.
There's a more in depth spoiler about the novel and more parts about the rest story on novelupdates (like what happened to her stupid prince ex fiancee ) if anyone is interested
Thanks so much for the spoiler (≧∀≦)
Your spoiler description is way better than the current chapter plot lmao. Thanks!
Omg thank you
Could you give me the link to novel updates cause I can't seem to locate it
tysm for the spoiler!! do you know why that julianne is obsessed with ML?
God thank you for the in-depth plot explanation. I wason the fence w/the ML, thinking how the FL could still have feelings for someone who killed her in a past life like
tysm god that made a lot of sense and all are ff good no complaints here. also, i got a good laugh from the “yandere stare” bit lolol
It's ok but mc feels too weak despite being the last sage with the task of saving the world
He's also trying not to kill people or stand out too. He's only using magic that can be mistaken for sword techniques.
I agree. And he could show a little more finesse and being refined since he was a sage a thousand years ago. Not that half baked skills he has.
Lol that small comic at the end of chapter 29 "why are you acting weak" with that face xD
Past Rutger probably didn't know how to properly communicate to mc at all because of all the abuse he went through so even if he did love mc he didn't know how to act it out. But at least he didn't seem like a bad person towards mc. Sure he never communicated with her, even during sex, but he treated her with a level of respect by waiting until she is ready before their first night together. Only thing that confused me was the promise between mc's half sis saying she was promised to be Rutger's wife or something. But I assume Rutger was lying and will back stab them after they helped him with the rebellion?
Mc's actions of pushing child Rutger away seems realistic and valid as it reminds her of her panick when she returned back to her original timeline, as well as looking at a young version of ML will give her thoughts of "this could've been what our child would've looked like". There was also the thoughts of ML possibly betraying mc and being together with the half-sister + some negative thoughts about ML because of his 'coldness'/lack of communication.
At the end of the day, they have both suffered through unfortunate circumstances and imo both the characters feelings/actions seem valid (as of current information provided to us), and it'll take time for mc to heal and properly talk it out with past ML (since it literally depends on mc because only she can go back to their timeline unless child Rutger somehow gains past Rutger's memories lmao)
I think it's more likely her half-sister want to marry him and ask her dad for marriage that's why she want to kill the FL because she knows that the Rutger won't divorce her. (This is just based on future Rutger expression so eh)
