Rinsama_'s manga / #Nobility(19)

Ugh I just CAN'T. THE MEN IN THIS MAHWA IS JUSY TOO DAMN HOT MA.

This was about FL who was born from a nobleman and a concubine. She was mistreated ever since she's born. However, she was to engage one day. The young her thought she was saved from the horrible treatment of her family home. She really loved her fiance at that time. As time went on, she was harassed from all the nobles and her fiance did nothing. He felt contempt towards her. He treated her coldly despite our FL's effort to take care of ML. That's when she snapped and decided to ask for an annul of engagement. Her plan was to be married to the neighbouring country's prince. AND SHE SUCCEEDED. The prince boi was cute, kind, and prince-ly (as in he took his stand and was firm). Her ex-fiance later realised the abuse our FL had to go through and how caring she was AND HAD THE AUDACITY TO REGRET LETTING HER GO.

I really dig the art TOT. Anyway, it's about an empire where saintess rules. Saintess is someone who has divine power and can hear god? Anyway, the current saintess is our FL's mother. When she was born, her mother divine power started to decline. That's why she was abused ever since she's born. One day, her brother suggested to marry her off to a prince of a principality. However, this principality was the one where mc's mother, the saintess, brought to the lowest of the low. The saintess said that god told her the principality was the reason the empire wasn't doing well. That's why suggesting to marry her daughter off to the principality means she's sending her daughter to be killed. The saintess even made sure to make the image of FL as bad as possible, so she's hated even more. However, the prince was so good. He treated her so well that our FL opened her heart to him. However, she couldn't save him from the empire invade to the principality. That's why she asked god for another chance to protect her love.

I- This- UGH. The art is just PURE MASTERPIECE. The sensuality in this manga is making me ded! UGH. 100/10 for just art alone TOT. This is about our poor FL. Her dad ostracized and neglected her since she was born because her mother (his wife) died giving birth to her. She had always tried hard to gain her dad and brothers' affection. She is very talented. She even became a swordmaster when she's young! However, in the first timeline, she was summoned by the king. He asked her to be the empire sword. She accepted thinking she had become a knight. Little does she knows that he's transforming her into a living sword, Kiera. She became a sword for 400 friggin years! She reincarnated somehow and this time she's determined to overthrow the king and destroy the empire that had abandoned her. She started by applying to be the 5th prince's tutor. The reason was that he's smart and calculative. He's capable of becoming a tyrant. However, he was just a mastermind behind the next emperor because he followed his mother's last wish, to survive quietly. Thus, she chose him to be her tool. She slowly broke down his wall.

ToT this is very cool. This mainly plays with the misogynistic society and how it oppresses women. Our mc is the victim of such system. She was framed as a murderer of her fiance and father (FREAKING BIG MALES), and received a death sentence. However, luck has not abandoned her. The foolish emperor invaded another country and lost miserably. Had to beg the other country's matriarch (YES, OUR KING IS WOMAN <3). The matriarch demanded for a lot of things (which is reasonable) and lastly for our mc, Ebony, to be pardoned. Anyway, ML, a young and smart noble man, decided to take her in since mc's family is practically gone. Mc was in a poor condition but with the help of ML and his subordinates. She bounced back stronger than the 90s trend. We learnt about her teacher in the prison. She was imprisoned and sentenced to death BECAUSE SHE TAUGHT WOMEN HOW TO READ OFFICIAL LANGUAGE! Fuck patriarchy. We learnt about how oppressive this country is. The disgusting noble and men, especially noble men. It was a touching and fun read. Although Ebony has a long way to go, she'll get there.

This is so good. It doesn't portray an op FL who knows all the truth from the future because she got reborn. But she's not a wimpy, the woe is me kind of FL either. There's power in kindness. But that doesn't mean you're weak or stupid. That doesn't mean you have to always sacrifice yourself or get taken advantage of. I'm reminded of this quote, "In a gentle way, you can shake the world".

I feel so sad for the FL :( She's reincarnated many times to the same torturous periods just to be tortured again and again because some evil girl wanted FL's power for herself.. She's so done with life that she just wanted to do anything to die.. In the most recent reincarnation, she reincarnated much earlier in time which she could do sth to change her fate. She made a plan and somehow instead of getting killed, she got adopted by a duke. The duke is so nice. Although, he's nicknamed the scariest man (on the battlefield), he's a loving (and doting) dad with 2 sons.

Masterpiece. Period.

Storytelling could use some refinements, but it's not bad. The plot is enjoyable and if you think FL is weak, it's because legally and physically, she couldn't do a lot. Idk what's so hard about grasping that she's a victim of SA and abuse and it's affecting her a lot. Her engagement with fake fiancé was also all neglect and abuse. And she's extra unfortunate because some psychotic prince thinks she killed his mom and has been making her life miserable. But this author really needs to polish the storytelling skill like it's so immature..
