Kool_lampshades's manga / #Strong Female Lead(34)

Holy shit, this is complicated. Ok, so a subordinate of the prince is sent to work as the duke's aid as a spy, to learn what he was doing 12 years ago. Turns out he was under human experimentation 12 years ago. Whilst working as a spy, the prince's subordinate dresses as a man. He gains the dukes unwavering trust and eventually his love. There is a slow developing romance between the two, and eventually when she is found out, she retreats back to her position with the crown Prince. There's a lot more to it, but there's the bare bones of it. I really really hope that the duke is forgiving of her, and that they can be together. Holy wow.

INCREDIBLE. basically, the FL (a princess of the empire, descended from gods in a family line of demigods) receives a premonition that her bastard brother plans to become the next emperor in her stead, though not with malicious intent. You see, currently, the FL is quite ignorant. She is kept this way by her mother, who is referred to as the "Red King". Now that the FL has received premonitions, she takes initiative to become less ignorant and learn about the real world. Meanwhile, a romance develops between the leader of the Raal clan and our FL. The leader of the Raal Klan (whose name is Khun) is helping the FL's brother become the next emperor. The romance is cute, and yet the FL isn't naiive in it. She holds her own, and is very cool in doing so. I am really looking forward to future updates from this one!!!

This was great. Its set in medieval times and it's more true to that setting than a lot of manga is. The costumes are accurate, the court has jesters, there's jousting... the only thing is, when something didn't fit it, it stood out like a sore thumb. For example, towards the end there were 2 medics that wore white surgical aprons and a scarf over their mouths. Though they should have, they definitely weren't that conscious of infection control back then. I don't know how to start summarising it the plot, though... Hm, well, it starts with a shithead king who has a daughter (Edna, FL) that her mum dresses and presents to the king and public as a boy (Eden) so that she can one day replace the shithead king. Elsewhere, shitty things are happening to the ML and his younger brother. So, as one does, the usurp the throne. The younger brother assumes position of king. During the revolt, the FLs mother shoves a dress at edna and tells her that Eden has died that day. So she escapes . Fast forward however many years. Edna has become a maid to a noble household. In order to prevent one of his own daughters marrying Eli, he claims that Edna is his bastard daughter and sends her off to marry him instead. They fall in love, kick some arse when revolts arise, and when the truth is revealed about her past, it's taken quite well. They have a kid (either Alec or Alex) and I'm pretty sure he's the main character of the sequels. It was good, tho

So great, omg. Ok, so a horrid princess dies and makes a contract with a demon to keep living in her place, so that revenge can be had on her step mother who poisoned her (the step mum did this partially because she wanted her son to inherit the throne, and partially because the horrid OG FL slapped the innocent step-mum's daughter). So, the demon does and begins rekindling the FL's rep, while assuming the position of leader of the 4th knights, and befriends one of the country's leading swordsmen and his friend. The swordsman I assume is the love interest

Woah. Ok. This plot is super super interesting. I'll try and sum it up, but it won't stand up when compared to the plot itself. So, we start off with out main character, Lady Medeia, the daughter of the duke, who is distraught and plotting revenge against her previous friend and now crown princess, because she originally held the title of fiancee to the crown Prince herself. What actually happened is the current fiancee holds a magical power and was somewhat forced into that engagement in exchange for her freedom from confinement. Lady Medeia finds this out when the 2 switch bodies and switch back. Now the other lady has broken off her engagement to the crown Prince they both know to be a steaming pile of shit, and lady Medeia plans to carry out an Oracle saying the empire will fall by killing the crown Prince. Currently, a cardinal has sought out lady Medeia because he heard a rumor she herself spread that she was going to kill her father the duke. The cardinal doesn't care for the duke, but waants her to postpone her plane because he believes it will lead the public to think it's her who will carry out the Oracle, leading to her premature death by execution. Meanwhile, the crown Prince tries to win back the previous crown princess who had broken off their engagement. It's complicated, but so good.

So, a woman grows up in an orphanage and has a close friend who she promises to remember even after he goes away. Fast forward. She's an adult, she's married off to a noble. He's a good enough husband, and she loves her step daughter. Both die in a boating accident. Her horrible step mother and brother abuse her, and her step brother uses her as somewhat of an assassin. When she is found out, he lays all the blame on her and she is burned at the stake. She time travels to the day of her husband's funeral, and takes responsibility of the estate. That's where we're at so far. It's ok, but I wouldn't say it's great

Ok, so: a girl is labelled as a cursed woman, marries a duke who shows her sympathy, has a child, has trauma, won't touch her child, has him taken away, dies, time travels back to the time of her pregnancy, makes a deal with the duke to leave her tf alone, and she carries on. That's where we're at. It's okay so far

Alright, I'll try and give a synopsis, but it'll be inadequate. So, our FL has been betrothed to the emperor since they were both young. Then the emperor got a mistress. Then, a half-bird emperor of another country fell for her, and after a series of events that has lead up to the FL discovering the Emperor's intention to divorce her in order to make the mistress' child-to-be the heir, she has accepted the bird guy's proposal to become the queen of his country instead. It's really complicated and this barely covers any of it. Also it sounds insane the way I put it, but it's really very good. Finally, over on webtoon (where you can support the author for free, and without ads) everyone refers to the mistress, rashta, as trashta, and it's hilarious. Although I do feel sorry for her to some degree, and I hope she gets a good ending.
