lost_talez's manga / #reincarnation(123)

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.

ch35 mc rebirths as villainess. she's a weapons mania and uses magic + help of gnome to recreate modern day weapons. she's also super OP in terms of power/mana and magic abilities. she now attends the school where all the capture targets are, including the prince who apparently wants world peace lol.

ch16.5 really interesting, unlike how the summary makes it out, its not comedy or fluffy MC schemes to get her engagement broken off so she can become a commoner to obtain freedom, this is also motivated by her trauma from her past life where she was basically a puppet to her perfect brother, she goes into hiding to escape him but when she unexpectedly bumps into him, she runs away and gets hit by a truck. MC now works in a bakery, learning how to bake, she is visited by prince's brother who is clearly interested in her but she thinks he is just pitying her for being falsely accused. Her adopted brother also visits her, he has a twisted personality, she managed to block his flag "i think of you as a pet" by stuffing bread in his mouth lol. Her "friend" also visits her and they exchange info - she finds out that ppl actually thought she had ulterior motives for being demoted as commoner. She is also visited by neighbouring country prince and his attendant because Liliana (current fiance of prince) had revealed that MC gave the "prophecy" that saved their kingdom from war - he invites her to join hands with him to start a war with her country and get revenge against her ex fiance. She withholds her answer via offering them bread, the prince is somehow derailed and decided to be her friend instead. Liliana is the noble woman who visits the church regularly, and connects with one of the nuns (nana) there who is friends with MC. MC's boss at the bakery gives her time off for a week, coinciding with lily's collapse, MC is suspicious tht someone is pulling strings, from the enemy prince, she learns about the mysterious "L" who prophesied about a baby being born 16yrs ago and is powerful enough to destroy a kingdom. I like MC, especially how she sticks to her goal - being a commoner, doesn't let ppl sway her, she's also got a good smiling poker face, she's clearly traumatised, and i hope she gets over her trauma and is able to live happily instead of constantly being on her toes. She's determined not to live as a puppet to the extent she would rather die than to go back to being a noble - which is not healthy thoughts, but I like her very much, she's protecting her independence in the only way she knows how.

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.

dropped ch32 got bored

ch90 mc transmigrates into the body of the villainess aka the fiance of the crown prince. the crown prince however is a cheating scumbag but wouldn't break the engagement from mc - instead he lets out news that they will declare their marriage date during the spring ball. mc saves a beggar from the streets who turns out to be handsome werewolf (aka ml) who had his fangs and tongue removed and exiled from his clan, she uses her as a date for the ball, the prince meets the FL during the ball and falls for her course so he doesn't go through his plans of announcing his marriage with mc. in the meantime, ml ran way from the ball after seeing another werewolf, he gets into a fight with the 3rd male lead of the novel aka red hair werewolf - he ends up wounded in mc's garden. red hair werewolf ends up causing a ruckus at mc's house looking for ml, but beaten back by mc's assassin sniper brother (aka male lead no 2 in the novel), mc ends up losing her temper at both of them for destroying the manor and scaring the servants. red hair werewolf ends up making an appointment to meet her as per her instructions, but mc takes on ml as her butler hence declaring him under her protection. she also gets the magic sword that the prince was meant to get in the novel, and uses it to defeat the red hair werewolf. mc then travels to the territory of the female lead so that she can use her healing powers to cure mc (she got injured in the fight with the werewolf) and also to seek a cure for ML's mutism. She becomes friends with the FL and decides to protect her from the problematic male leads (crown prince who is a cheating scumbag, her own brother who is a creepy stalker, red hair werewolf who is an idiot lol, and green hair tycoon who is super yandere). FL actually has awareness that she is in a novel where she is forced to repeat the plot over and over again, trapped in this storyline despite trying to escape the clutches of the male leads - she is pleasantly surprised when MC seems to be able to change things, this rekindles hope in herself to escape the plot. MC manages to "wake" her brother up by turning him into a bunny during the hunting party and chasing him down, she uses this to enlighten him that constantly chasing someone to "protect" them without them asking for it is super scary. During the festival, she wins all the games against the crown prince, she then gives him the grand prize - a princess tiara - saying that out of everyone he is closest to a princess. he gets offended but she tells him off for being a womaniser without focusing on politics and his people, he thinks its acceptable to cheat because he is the prince, yet he wants the support of her family but doesn't take into account MC's feelings, his behaviour can easily make the alliance crumble, as the only reason why her family are supporting him rn is because of their engagement. crown prince also seemed to be slapped awake and changes his behaviour, apologising to the other ladies he had affairs with and also apologising to mc and seems to want to win her favour back. FL gets kidnapped by ML's twin brother aka leader of the werewolves, mc and her party rescues her, which is a deviation of the plot where redhair werewolf saves her. ML also awakens during this time to save mc (in the plot it was supposed to be red hair werewolf). mc stopped ml from killing his brother, but disciplins the brother and the red hair werewolf instead and pretends to carve a curse on their fangs using her magic sword to stop them from causing trouble. mc also plants a trap for green haired tycoon, she first releases news of a fake gold mine to confirm the existence of his spy when he steals the gold mine- but also to invoke his anger and wish to kill mc. she uses his attempted murder to put him behind bars and claim compensation. in the meantime, mc putting herself in danger and invoking ML's worry and anger finally pushes mc to be aware of her own feelings and she confess to ml and they end up together yay. now mc is worried about the climax of the novel where there will be a war with demons. MC convinces her dad that war in looming by pretending to have heard an oracle, this is vouched by her maid Yona who was the one most loved by god (aka the fav character of the author). The god (aka will of the author) tries to end the world by making the demon seal break early and then offers MC the chance to go to another world while this one restarts, however MC refused, in anger the god took mc's eyes. mc remembers in the novel where the person whose power/thing was stolen has to cut the breath of Balal (aka the monster the god is possessing) in order to defeat it and gain back the thing they lost, mc with ml's help cuts the breath and gains her eyesight back, the FL seals the demons away and help heal the people. mc becomes famous overnight as the Lion Lady.
