MC is the villainess who is accused of poisoning the princess due to jealousy because she is the new lover of MC’s ex, her father who has always been distant and aloof towards her throws her into prison and gives her a knife, the crown Prince with a rep of being violent comes to interrogate her so MC chooses to commit suicide first. She regains memories of a previous life where this was a novel, and works to preserve her life, first by breaking up with her bf, then by working on improving her social relationships starting by trying to join the tea tasting society of a group of noblewomen who would in future become good supporters of the crown Princess. Her ex is a 渣男 who strings women on by being nice to them and feels superior, hence becomes angry when MC suddenly ignores him. MC runs into ML (crown Prince) who visited MC’s dad (hero who saved the country in the war while the cowardly king fled), she doesn’t know his identity and only knows him as her father’s disciple, she thinks he’s a commoner mercenary. She finds a list of suitors her father draws up on her and circled is the crown prince’s name (he actually circled it to tell his subordinates to remove him from the list), terrified she enlists ML’s help to start a fake relationship to fool her father so he doesn’t try to engage her to the Prince. ML doesn’t tell her the truth and agrees to fake relationship and slowly falls for MC. MC’s dad seems to be under control of the King, seems like one of the leashes controlling him is due to trying to protect MC, but MC doesn’t know. S1 ends - MC’s dad seems to have memories of his past life where MC died; so now he wants to break his chains.

I liked it. No explicit scenes but the kissing was super hot.

3.8 stars. not bad and the art was nice. but lots of melodrama push and pull between the leads

ch53 mc is a female who looks like a male, her mum is a famous model who died. mc is often mistaken as a male due to her height and way of dressing, she works part time as a male model and is noticed by ML who is a chaebol fashion design student and he recruits her to be his model for his mid term exam aka a fashion show. ML2 is mc's childhood friend whom she always had a crush on, he also likes her but is a bit of a coward and wants to work on improving himself to match her before confessing, hence even when she gave signs to indicate she may like him, he chickens out. finally after being stimulated by ml's presence, he confess to mc who accepts but some niggling feeling prob cause she started being attracted to ml already. tbh i dont like ML2, he's too indecisive, lets his family push him around. his brother is a smart med student and pushed him to study and is super strict on him, the whole situation pisses me off, i wish ML2 would just smack him.

overly simplistic mc transmigrates after being killed by a stalker. she is born as a princess in a world where only men possess magical powers and women are treated as objects. she flatters and curries favour with her father the king and her brothers the princes, in that way she miraculously gains their love -.- i mean im not sure how to think about one of her brothers treating her as a dog and constantly making her play fetch = love. also what mc does isn't novel, its how women in the past have survived in a male dominant society, but you are telling me none of the other numerous princesses were able to strive for favour like mc? you're telling me that the king is cruel and coldhearted enough to kill his daughters for small infarctions but ends up spoiling and loving mc just because she acts adorable to him? people who are that coldhearted can spoil their pets, but if you step out of line, they still won't spare you, how can it be genuine selfless love, how can they change their minds easily about sexism and gender inequality. its super unrealistic. its also frustrating that when mc finally gains saint powers, its just all support skills. her brothers still able spin her round in the air willy nilly while mc screams her head off in fear. i just finished it to finish it.

79 loved it, super cute. towers started appearing on earth, random people get drawn into it and become Awakened ie gain magic/strength. mc jumps into a closing portal and accidentally gets transported into the 99th level of the tower. he plants some the fruits he had in his bag for survival, the tower administrator Aileen discovers his presence and makes him an awakened but his class is Farmer. Aileen is actually a black dragon, a species that governs the tower, but she has a problem with her dragonheart so she is stuck in the administrator's area, while her family the other black dragons seems to working to try and save her. mc's produce seem to have a beneficial effect on aileen's dragonheart. mc also meets Farmer Bunnies that help him look after his farm. Later on a travelling merchant Theo (cat) comes by to sell human items to mc (theo got scammed into thinking they are valuable), mc enlightens him and signs contract with Theo to be his distributor of his farming produce, he sells mc's produce to the humans who love mc's crops, initially because of the weight loss effect lol, but subsequent crops have important effects eg detoxifying leeks that neutralise poison. Mc also makes friends with a queen bee who pollinates his flowers and supplies him with honey, as well as the head of the territory, the grizzly bear and her cub. the neighbouring territories minotaurs land is barren due to overconsumption so they eat clay instead, mc supplies them with crops in return for tilling the land and helping make bricks for his house. theo acquires new bodyguards in form of the silver wolves who were affected by the famine and were forced to work for Greede - a money hungry landlord / boar who took advantage of the red ribbon kingdom plague of locusts and took over their territory and enslaved the bunnies. MC supplies the wolves with food so they can stop working for Greede who has monopoly over the agriculture industry. they also rescue a few bunnies with architecture, woodwork and artist talents who join mc's farm. the locusts start plaguing another floor (think it was again orchestrated by Greede), mc sells his produce the iron leeks that lure the locust to eat them but instead slices them apart to the head magician (hamster). meanwhile, theo sells sweet potato with 5hr flame resistance to the humans, this helps Han Taejoon (strongest warrior in SK) to defeat the flame boar and cure his flame curse that makes him burst into flames, the rest of the floor also regains vitality ie crops begin to grow. The SK hunter association protect mc's family from others who want to gain from mc. the western forrest corrupt ents start attacking mc's farm because they want to corrupt the Flaming Apple tree in mc's farm, mc launches an attack and set fire to the forrest (he can borrow apple tree's flame powers). now: aileen's dragonheart acted up because she consumed too many of farm produce that enhances magic, her Hardened dragon Heart talent could not contain the mana. mc saves her life by giving her new produce, cherry tomato flower royal jelly that enhances mana talents.
