AGH FUCK IT'S ONE OF THOSE STORIES, I TELL YOU!! IT GETS YOU HOOKED!!
I started reasing this only because of the MC (the art is so-so becausw my standard is too picky) and then the next thing I know, I'm invested in the story. The delivery is *faint, chef's kiss* and the characters don't feel flat. There are some cloche but the depth of both the plot and the characters is amazing and their situations are realistic in approach. The political schemes keeps me on my toes. And of course, the romance is... ugh! Just when I thought the ML can be redeemable, BAM, he becomes a piece of shit. I've lost it many times, I've cursed him too much, but I can't help reading the next chapter.
SOMEONE SAVE ME AHHHH.
I should have stopped at the lake scene and started marinating it again.
Anyway, spoiler for ramona—
Ramona who was the "original lover" isn't a bad person. She was jealous of Tia but never act upon it. In the end she even got motivated by being around Tia and wanted to take over the Brown family after seeing Tia, as a female, can take over the Lombardi family. Her previous goal was to become a knight for the imperial family, but it changed to becoming the head of the Brown family in order to also help side with the Lombardi.
PLEASE SPARE ME YOUR TIME BECAUSE I'M GOING CRAZY TRYING TO FIND THIS MANHWA BECAUSE I'VE READ A LOT OF SIMILAR TROPES AND TITLES.
It's a historical manhwa, regression type. The female lead decides to make a deal with the emperor to take revenge on her bitchass cousin that she treats like a sister in the first timeline. Generic, right?? See where my problem is??
BUT!!!
I do remember this very specific lines that happens in a dance during a party.
The MC goes to the emperor (white hair, I think?) and then she KISSES HIM. And the emperor asks:
"Why did you kiss me?"
And MC answers...
"Because my cousin likes you."
And there was a sandal scene or drowning scene later on?? I forgoooot!!
Anyway, I don't exactly remember the whole story because I gave up midway because it was still ongoing the last time I checked. I just heard that it was completed now so yup, gonna get back to it.
On my knees for young boss Iruma!! WHY IS EVERYONE SO COOL AND THE ART UPGRADE IS INSANE!!!
AM I THE ONLY ONE ROOTING FOR THAT ONE GUY THAT SHE (MIGHT BE) EXCHANGING LETTERS WITH (REMEMBER THAT BROWN HAIRED BOI THAT DID NOT SHOW UP AFTER THEY LEFT GRANDPAPI #1'S PLACE) ?? I MEAN!! HE HAS OLDER BRO VIBES BUT STILL!!
I mean, yayul is like that adorable pup/Lil bro. That namgoong child... well, I'm currently not rooting for him.
I swear, if this were in real life so many people will go to the cult just because of the handsome cult leader and who is that friggin white hair he's a beauty things are getting better ahhh
Eyooo this is hillarious!!! They're literallu doing it in reverse like they do couple things before becoming a couple it's too sweet I can't take it they fit each other like a puzzle.
Finished it now and I know why everyone is such a simp for the MC and danggg why is the demon god the hottest??? Everyone here is so coool!!!
I was scouting the comment section to see if it's good or not and all I see are simping comments and I'm tempted to read.IS THERE ROMANCE OR NOT BECAUSE I AM SO TIRED OF ROMANCE RN
Lmao this is hilarious!! Props to the good art, unique story line (fresh breather from all of those Reincarnation tramigration regression stories!!!), and the character balance and dynamics is perfect!!! FL is not some kind of dumbo and has a good amount of common sense, all while having a good dose of power. Thank goodness. And the ML is such a big dog, the consistency is amazing. And I can see the dark parts of the story being covered by the sense of humor. Gonna let this marinate because it's so good!!! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
