The Evil Grand Duchess Has a Secret Life
Breezed through til Ch.5 SPOILERS an OI where the randy "Duke" did a murder/suicide on the FL in their real life. Author trying to spin it as "she was gonna die painfully of cancer anyway so he saved her the pain." But she literally was feeling okay when he did it, it was a surprise, and she was shocked and struggled against it. They both transmigrated. ... can't get behind it, don't care how in love with her he was... She's supposed to end up with two men in a poly ending. One is the innocent "angel agent" that is terrible at acting. His agent/taskforce is tasked with keeping storylines/worlds clean of wonky reincarnation/isekai errors? Anyway, he was supposed to play the role of the husband who doesn't say much and assist her in her job. But the murder/suicide jerk sold his memories to a demon equivalent to get the role of the "husband with few lines". In an attempt to have access to fucking her I think. It doesn't help that I believe they were platonic friends in their real lives. He did all this so he could have a chance at having his unrequited love fulfilled? I can only guess at his grand explanation, I don't respect him enough to keep reading and find out. I was sorely tempted by blushing angel and funny-pervert demon equiv (he's so over the top, I like a "tame the bad boy storyline" Since everyone has new appearances she doesn't realize murder friend is the "duke of few lines". All she knows is that stuff isn't as she was instructed about when she gets the mission and Angel Agent is just as confused. She doesn't get a hint that 'the husband' is actually her murder friend until she meets the demon, who seems to have all of her friend's memories but none of the context. I don't know where they were going to go with it after that. Would she have vengeance on murder friend even though now he is the equivalent an amnesiac isekai man who actually believes himself to be the duke because of the story? He's portrayed as adoring her and doing all the proper tasks of a Duke, and his people support him and all that. He just happens to have an isekai soul at this point. I wonder if that is supposed to 'make us feel better'? But I just felt like if I kept reading, it wouldn't be a revenge story. And the murder friend would "win" even if he didn't remember why he was winning anymore. No winning for him. If the murder friend is truly part of the romantic end game, and I'm certain he is from spoilers, I'm out. Sorry if some of this is repetitive, I was copying over this conversation from previous comments I'd made so I covered the main points.
I Saw the Future With the Killer Grand Duke
Ch.2 SPOILERS https://www.novelupdatesforum.com/threads/peony-i-saw-the-future-with-the-killer-grand-duke.144965/ - so after Gabi ( the grand duchess and wife of the Grand Duke of North Ernest) died she moved into a new body, but the curse is that she have to continue to act like the body owner. ( its called the world restrictions) Isn't it natural to think that if you possessed a new body, you have to act accordingly so that you suits that body. -The real Peony has kept looking back on the future, and it's so sad that the best answer she found ( to save the world) was to go to her mother and give her body to the female lead. She is not a sleepwalker, but has the ability to peek at the time. -Finally, our main character realised fl Peony is his dead wife Gabi at Episode 77 -The real Peony was acting like an idiot on purpose. With her ability of « predilection », she wouldn't have been able to survive in the imperial family that wasn't stable due to the dispute between the imperial power. Even if she survived, it would have been used because she didn't have power (standing in the imperial family). -Dante is the original male lead ( He apparently knows a lot about the regression and readers comments about how he is a joke as the original lead, how can he be a lover etc.. Idk more about that) -The best friend is the first to notice Peony is Gabi. -Johannes the ogfl brother knew all about Peony. (« Take a good rest with your mom... ») Apparently Johannes was a more mentally mind-taught child. (He is kinda liked by readers because he makes amends to Gabi after real Peony asked him thats why he went with her to North after marriage, its to protect Gabi. Johannes in the last greeting with Fiona tell her « I know you're not really my sister, so my sister told me to help you a lot. » ( Well some readers pity him and others resent him like in every novel everyone has his own opinion). He ignored fl when they were children. -The most suitable body to save the soul of the saint (Gabi) was Peony's body, It's so tragic except that real Peony was happy to go to the « flower garden where her mother is ». The og Peony knew her lifespan, and she saw through the future that her body will be used after that she was okay with it cause, it would be okay to reincarnate as the daughter of the 1st emperor and get revenge. - Dante (ogml) is beaten by the villains and Ingrid (fl from original novel) is a real saint who sacrifices herself to stay next to prevent irredeemable super-powerful villains from harming the world. (Idk more about that sadly.. maybe its in the original novel that Gabi has read before becoming Gabi..) -Not sure if Johannes will become emperor but he will try contrary to what he wanted before Peony gives up her body, maybe to help Gabi now as he promised. Ending MC had amnesia, she recovered from it and remembered everything about her husband Ernest ( black hair , blue eyes ), the meeting was well detailed by the author, you could clearly imagine their happiness and hopes they had, MC was even crying, and ML was also very touched. They also had a kid named Kenyan, but this was before she lost her memories. A few years passed and Kenyan resembled his father, dark hair and twice as tall as he should be for his age, he also has a couple relationship with a red haired girl called Mimosa (they are indeed prince and princess, it's their status, she was entrusted the role when she was 9),now she is 13 (Kenyan must be the same age or very close to). Idk who is Mimosa father, but he seems to have been one of the secondary characters of this novel, she is a genius magician just like her dad. (seems like she is the daughter of the Wang couple, so yeah, the Wang couple go to trips and leave Mimosa with Kenyan). Btw, Eqes was separated into his own kingdom for more than 10 years ago. Mimosa told Kenyan he is now her husband, she has a strong spirit, and Kenyan is just calm and has a caring personality,just like his father. People were worried, was Kenyan too weak for his future position as a king? Not at all, Kenyan was very different to people who weren't his wife, he was a black snake, the gentle and nice mask was only for his wife. Kenyan was waiting for MC and ML, who he didn't see in a year, he was very exited to see them and really loves them, they probably went with Mimosa family, so Kenyan and Mimosa were alone with the servants,butlers... 3 families finally got reunited under the sun ( my guess, - 1. MC,ML and Son - 2. Son and Mimosa - 3.Mimosa family
