ch77 s2 end mc transmigrates in body of princess of a small country. Her sister (mother of the FL in the novel) was originally kidnapped by the emperor (father of villain in the novel) of a large kingdom because their country broke the agreement (mc's dad was greedy and wanted more profit from the trade route running through their country). MC gets kidnapped by the emperor instead and to her surprise he treats her kindly - even though he keeps an impenetrable iron wall around himself. She suffers from magical incompatibility due to her foreign soul - it eases around the emperor who has the strongest divine power (she can also be soothed by priests with divine power or by entering the temple but the emperor is most effective). She resolves to marry the emperor A) to prolong her own life B) to save him from the fate of being murdered by his 10yr old son (in the novel he marries a black magician who teaches their son black magic). Now the black magician is trying to murder the MC as she is getting in the way of her marriage to the emperor. MC is suffering from nightmares due to black magic plants in her garden, designed to drive her crazy and tear her soul apart. She manages to escape and find the emperor. ML now realises that his mage is a black magician (light magicians are unable to detect black magic and vice versa) but has no proof. He wants to send MC back The god of the world also finds MC amusing and speaks to her in her mind, he says he can make her his disciple, thus curing her ailment, but he can only descend the world once every 10yrs, next time he can come down is in 5 years. The ML sees through MC's insincerity in declaring her love. He seems to have fallen for her, but also reluctant to trap her by his side where he is surrounded by danger, his country filled with magic that can kill her. however he is eventually won over by mc - mainly cause mc now knows he knows his mage is a black magician hence he wont marry her, so now there is no reason for her to stay, so she offers to leave, but he of course couldn't say he wants her to leave hehe so now they're mutual but at the same time they know that mc can't realistically stay because its too dangerous for her, ml doesn't want to keep her cooped up in the palace because she is sensitive to magic as well as the danger the mage poses to her, mc also understands and doesn't want to be a burden and risk her own life - this is why i like this mc even tho she's objectively "weak" - she's not an idiot, she's aware of her own weakness, she gets frightened reasonably, but doesn't waste time feeling sorry for herself, she has personality and isn't some wilting flower but also not a reckless idiot. mc's country's delegation arrives haha ml was jealous so cute and mc immediately realised and teases him a bit, i really like this couple. mc asks ml to deal with the mage problem in 4 years and marry her after (this is when she can become god's disciple and solve her magic sensitivity). in the meantime, the mage seems to be up to no good, the "god" behind her is urging her to kill mc because he's getting bad vibes - the mage wants to have a baby with ml so their kid has both powers and her powers can extend beyond this world - the entity promises to eradicate the silver light aka the royal family who weild light magic and seek to exterminate dark magic - tbh the mage is kinda pitiful too cause her whole family got killed by the knights under the royals for being dark magicians so she hates them. the mage summons the lord of the underworld supplying her power, however mc also summons the god of the world and foils her plans (tbh honest the "battle" is confusing im not sure what happened or who stopped who really), mc stops ml from killing the mage and lets her escape because they need to defeat the lord of the underworld (if mage dies, lord of underworld can just contract another person and they won't know who), the god implants a seed in the mage that can track her. upon escaping, the lord of the underworld possesses mage's body but will need time to assimilate. mc has to part with ml and return to her country.

ch75 MC is an orphan under the care of her greedy uncle, he marries her off to the ML who is reputed to be cruel and scary (he is in charge of protecting the border against the monsters/demons) due to a marriage contract between the two households. ML hides his face behind his mask and is reputed to be ugly (he also thinks he's hideous?). ML has left the castle in search of a cure to his ailment? He places the castle under an enchantment to hide its presence, but now the enchantment has failed and monsters are attacking it. at last min ML returns, bringing with him a dragon as well. mc kills the ogre leader in defence of ml. she befriends the dragon and manages to ride it. they counterattack the ogres castle, ml's mask exposed in the process and reveals his handsome face, however mc is warned in her mind not to expose the truth otherwise ml will die. now mc and ml are on their way to a ball for demon hunters, they stop by the crystal palace - a gambling casino for demons. They find out that the demons have schemed to attack their castle while they are away, but MC had already anticipated this and arranged for the dragon to protect Halsted castle. MC discovers that she has access to a portal where you can summon modern day items as long as you know the korean name. She uses this to get catnip and opens a restaurant attracting all the cat demons and stealing business from the demon of the crystal palace Belial, they then make their own currency using demon contracts to trade for it, tricking the Belial to buy out all the currency, then dropping the value by lowering the price of catnip stew and increasing the exchange rate interest, they then scam Belial by first getting him to take on a loan then pretending to be social welfare agents and convincing him that MC having access to his servants inventory pouch can give her access to his money as well, so get him to transfer his money out into a "secure inventory" lmao, then on basis of his inability to pay off his loan, mc seizes all his property, Belial loses his great demon status and gets demoted. MC earns lots of money for the Halsted Castle this time and suitors flock to court her once they hear about their impending divorce. MC tries to delay this by highlighting there is still demonic threat, aka Memphis who is a great demon pretending to be a saintess and scamming the people, she defeats Memphis by getting the "Holy artefact" aka an iPad and showing she can use it, then setting up her own religion and broadcasting her confrontation with Memphis everywhere, Memphis is also demoted, both Memphis and Belial now want to become demon servants to MC. MC wants to break ML's curse, she finds out the curse seems to be placed on the ancestral sword of the Halsteds, now in possession of the demon Astarod who has gone in hiding due to wounds from the demon war, his territory is in Necropolis. MC plans to infiltrate and take down Necropolis and its neighbouring city Haste/Hiss Castle governed by Lucifer, she starts an MLM company lmao.

its cute. mc has prophetic dreams and dreams of ml being in a car accident, he then meets ml who works at a coffee shop and ml misunderstands that mc is asking him out because he keeps staring at him and then asks his name. they end up exchanging numbers and being friends, and eventually mc also ends up attracted to ml. ml ends up in accident and breaks his arm, mc feels guilty because ml had the accident because he went to buy cold medicine for mc. but they end up having a frank convo where mc comes clean about why he approached ml and the guilt hes feeling, they end up dating. side couple is ml's friends blondie and stoic best friend secretly in love with him, one day when blondie is drunk best friend confesses to him thinking hes asleep, after that cue avoidance and awkwardness before bestie takes advantage of blondie's desperation to maintain their friendship and asks to date for a month, during which he gets blondie to get used to his presence and stop feeling awkward around him but he also doesnt hide his feelings/reactions to blondie so they end up dating too. side arc where ml's coworker tries to mess with mc and ml after knowing their feelings, but ml is quick to put a stop to it, and when he persists ml beats him up lol so he stops. then mc gets prophetic dream about the coworker's grandma who is hospital and sth happened to her. they end up catching the caretaker who was paid off by coworker's dad to kill grandma to get inheritance. coworker records phone call and report to police. balanced relationship, both mc and ml are cute together and you can see their feelings growing, didnt seem abrupt or random. their relationship is healthy, not much drama/misunderstandings. ml is cutely protective of mc, but mc isnt a blushing wallflower, he's a regular guy and can stand up for himself.

199 mc is rebirths as a princess, her dad is the tyrant king who killed his own children when they were born as he didnt want a heir but he somehow let her live on a whim and mc conquered his heart via her cuteness lol. The emperor is a tyrant but he isnt evil, he's a responsible king who just likes warmongering too much and has a bad temper and unhesitant to kill his enemies as well his subjects who anger him. He was ignored by his father as a child and resented by his mother for failing to obtain the king's favour. The 6th prince aka his half brother arranged for his house to be set on fire and himself killed, his closest maid dying in the process. In order to survive he rose to the throne and slaughtered his father and all his brothers (except the 6th prince) and married all his sisters off. Other characters: MC's maid and almost mother; MC's guardian knight who had an abusive childhood and pledged his services to the king who gave him refuge, sees MC as the only light in his life and his salvation; the chancellor and MC's tutor who is a capable politician but a wife-con and acts silly and likes to annoy the king; the chancellor's twin sons who are like her brothers (blue hair is a playboy but reliable at times, green hair is gentle but best knight, seems like he fights to protect mc); red haired emperor of Persea (he hates the king for conquering his country and killing his countrymen but met mc as a child and seems to have fallen for her, domineering type which makes mc blush); white haired heir to the northern country (also met mc as a child, is the cousin of the twins, is gentle but surprisingly forward - he kissed the mc once already, mc always feels awkward around him and embarrasses herself lol) Now: MC ran away from home after being confined by king, went on tour of a few different countries. After she was picked up by her father the king, MC was kidnapped by her uncle (6th prince) and used to get her father to meet him alone, her father rescues her but gets injured in the exploding building and in coma now. The story is nice but there are always unresolved plot points or time skips that make it seem like a chapter was missing. like im not sure how mc got kidnapped. also what happened to that child way back then who was said to be the king's son but actually was not.. it was also very awkward and uncomfortable when mc got flustered by white haired boy as a kid.. like he was maybe 10 years old.. she's actually an adult.. it was so wrong, im so happy it was only one scene -.- but yeah after that i get a bit uncomfortable when she blushes around the boys, like they're maybe 18-20 years old, super young.. I was actually shipping her with her knight instead, who cares if he's 40yrs, she's around that age inside too.. but that brings me to another point of this novel, mc acts her physical age. like she's not mature at all, tbh im not sure why they made her transmigrate, like this novel would have worked fine if she was just a precocious baby who became self aware at a young age. anyway, the art is really nice, and mc was a really pretty and cute child, and it was funny at times, i like how mc can be quite deadpan at times. the characters are all interesting in their own way. i just wish mc could be slightly more mature/smarter sometimes.
