uotoni's manga / #Nobility(8)

Supposed to be some extras but the main story has been completed. FL remembers her past life when she falls off of a statue as a kid. She used to be a worker at a clothing company but didn't get to succeed in being a designer like she wanted. In this life, she ends up running off to a merchant city and proposing her innovative ideas (for the time) to the # 1 merchant monopoly guy, Lester. Lester turns her away because she didn't want to show the guard at the door her idea, and said it made her look like a swindler. The guard at the door is a good guy who takes her in to live with him and his adopted siblings he also took in off the streets. Yuri designs him some pants that night and when Lester sees them he is impressed and asks her to become his designer but sue wants to be a business partner, not a regular employee. To do so, in this historical misogynistic society, she would have to be a male. So she cross dresses and her designs sky rocket and make Lester's store a success. The queen/empress (she is referred to as both sometimes) Cecia conquered the 99 nations and united them and everyone wants her to get married so they can have a man I'm charge but she is more concerned about needing comfortable clothes. Corsets are the height of fashion, and she can't even eat or sleep comfortably. So she sends her adopted brother, the traitor who killed his own father to give her the magical chalice that would force people to bend to her will so she could rule the Nations, Aenon to find a designer to make her a comfy dress. When buying jello, aenon who was buying them all runs into Yuri who charms her way into getting one from him, and he asks if she can refer him a good designer. He doesn't tell Yuri it's for the empress, but still Yuri's design makes the queen want him at the castle. So, Yuri and one of yuri's sisters go to the capital. But Yuri gets into a scandal when one of the assistants faints in the hallway (due to her period pain) and Yuri thinks it is because the corset is too tight and loosens it and when she comes to she thinks Yuri, dressed as a man, has tried to assault her. Yuri tries to get Aenon to help, but he agrees that what Yuri did was wrong. Still, behind the scenes he tries to argue for Yuri to the queen. Yuri decides he can't really rely on Aenon for support, and feels alone. The aide eventually determines that Yuri didn't do it with ill intent and so the queen won't punish Yuri severely, but instead gives Yuri the impossible task of creating a uniform that all the employees would like and for only 1000 monies. The rumors have spread and Yuri is treated like a perv, but still manages to get on everyone's good side. While on a picnic with her sis, her sis runs off and aenon shows up and talks with Yuri and the sudden epiphany occurs after seeing the fine chain that a zipper would make any uniform easier to put on which was all staffs main concern, so aenon introduces the blacksmith who made the chain and the blacksmith makes the zipper for free because he recognizes the knowledge of how to make it is invaluable. The queenis satisfied and makes Yuri a baron or something that forces her to stay in the capital. Lester comes to the capital, and it becomes obvious that he has feelings for Yuri, which she is NOT comfortable with, because although he's given her the opportunities that led to her success, he met her when she was like 10 and he was like 26. Feels so pedo. She avoids it, all while falling for duke aenon and trying to stay on the queens good side. Anyways, Yuri rejects Lester, and he gets distant. Yuri goes on a trip to a region of the south with a princess who is in love with aenon and with aenon, her sis, and the aide who had originally accused Yuri of assault. That aide finds out her gender and becomes like another sis. On a boat ride with some former royal guy the duke aenon hates, that royal guy also figures out the Yuri is a girl and also that the duke likes her. He's been trying to force the princess into marriage, so getting duke aenon out of the way benefits him. So while talking to the two of them about investing in mines and rubber trees, etc, he takes them to a resort. While alone with duke aenon he hints that Yuri is a woman by saying "I don't like northern girls like yuri" or something of the like. Duke wanders off into the jungle to think, and former royal guy tells Yuri he thinks he is lost because he told him her secret or something. And so Yuri chases after him and actually does get lost. When duke comes back to find Yuri gone, he rushes back in and ends up saving her from a river she fell in. He tells her he will give up on his love because she shouldn't have to give up anything for him and she tells him he is stupid and she'll make her own decisions anddd then they are together and sweet and shit. Meanwhile the queen keeps thinking about how she should either marry Yuri or just have Yuri sleep with her until she gets and heir...because she still doesn't know about the fact Yuri is a girl. Anyways, Yuri has to rush back to capital when someone tries stealing business ideas, she settles that buuuuut a natural disaster occurs in the south destroying the mines she invested in. Lester buys her debt but has to force her to be just an employee instead of a partner. She complains to aenon, who offers to pay off the debt because he signed as her guarantor, but she refuses, saying that if she used him as such she would only see her failure every time she looked at him. She wants to marry him on her terms and not use him as a means to run away. He said he doesn't car what she does, he'll be on her side, and will be so happy if what she wants is to marry him someday. Meanwhile, queen is moving forward with her idea of marrying Yuri. Aenon had mentioned once bringing it up to the queen that he was in love with Yuri, but i guess that never happened. Because at the big festival banquet, the queen pull Yuri into a room alone and asks if Yuri wants to marry her. Annnnd that where we are now. The art is really good quality. There was a missing chapter I had to go find elsewhere. Overall I really enjoy this story. I like that they called out how pedo behavior it was that Lester was interested in Yuri, but then it felt like they tried to get us to forgive him for it in the very next scene so I don't know. He literally thinks to himself that he could have kept her locked up all to himself. Fucking weird. Also, I saw a ton of "fuck the queen" comments prior to reading and I can't understand why. The queen seems bad ass to me. Sure she has some bad traits, but she literally isn't the antagonist (yet). I imagine that could be coming when she knows the truth, but honestly she just seems like a woman sick of it all. I also think it's funny how obsessed Yuri is with making tampons and thinking about using the rubber trees to make condoms so she can have non disgusting contraception so she can sleep with her new boyfriend. Lol. Anyways, cute story so far. 4.9/5

Think it just completed? FL and her sister were nobles whose parents were killed by the tyrant emperor for a petty reason. FL joined a temple and trained her body until her sister came back to her 10 years later and asked her to help overthrow the tyrant. They took.ovet the empire and FLs sister is now the empress. FL had promised God that of they let them win then she would send her first child to the temple, and her sister made her duke of the north so she also needs a 2nd child for an heir. There a 2 more duke's: one who lost his eye to FL (Rubealla FL name) and the other is the intelligence agency leader and crazy maniac who wants to marry her sister because he thinks he deserves the highest place. Lost eye guy injured Ruby when they were at war to pay her back for his eye, but now he apparently is in love with her and mad as fuck because empress won't let him even confess and FL is oblivious to romantic matters. Ruby goes to social events hunting for a husband, but everyone thinks she is a monster duchess and rumors that she eats children and shit are keeping people from approaching her. When they killed the tyrant, they killed all his descendents, even small babies and illegitimate kiddos, but suddenly one illegitimate child appeared. And he is beautiful. Ruby tries to avoid him at first but has to step in when she sees some blue haired bitch sexually harassing him and saying that he had to marry her. After ruby is done chasing her off, he proposes that they get married. He says a contract marriage of 3 years, he would stay faithful and would not fall in love with her. Ruby was suspicious at first since he mentioned her vow to.god that no one knew about. Turns out ML rui/Louie has died 7 times and is trying to save his own skin in this life. First he locked himself away in the tower for academics where you abandon your family name and when that was destroyed he proposed to our FL, the monster duke and empresses sister. FL accepts and tell him he has to help her produce 2 kids, which he didn't know was part of the vow to god. When he didn't meet her to agree, she went to his family's estate to find them holding him hostage to have the blue haired bitch fuck him. FL burst in and saves the day, and when they get back to the mansion they sign the contract and have sexy times. Louie is obsessed with shooting reincarnation and romance stories and starts trying to become the most excellent spouse so that Bea (his nickname for ruby) won't leave him after 3 years. The other duke who likes Ruby and some resistance people trash the wedding and though the empress approved the marriage she refused to show up or let the other duke's show up so a rumor could spread that they were on bad terms so they could let the resistance grow and cut them off all at once. Right now, ML is obsessed with investing in things he knows from the future and they keep fucking up. First it was 2 artists, then he bought some cloth and monopolized it, and now he's after a designer who ended up being an abused 15 year old girl. Meanwhile blue haired chick won't back down. Also FL thinks one of ML's classmates is actually his lover and that he'll leave with her after 3 years. Both of the 2 leads currently have fallen for each other and don't know the other feels the same. Super cliche, but fun in the reverse. The art in this webtoon is pretty good. The story is excellent. Gotta love a role reversal done well. Love the strong ass FL so cool even the women swoon, and our cinnamon roll ML who loves romance novels and wedding planning and being a good wife. I like the cliches sticking around even with the role reversal. It makes for a great comedy. 4.9/5️
