I think there was misunderstanding in her "novel POV". Maybe same like "The perks of being villain" MC who misunderstood the families hating on her while they were just being awkward.
From what I gather so far:
1. MC was never been harassed or abused by Perdia family
2. The duchess didn't fond of her (like of course it's normal when she brought in as illegitimate daughter) but duchess didn't even scold her or abusing her. She also react normally when MC visited her green house, she didn't even react hateful. Just normal but distant.
3. MC asked for engagement with 1st prince, while the duke against it at first, she was so stubborn, even the duke made the engagement happened.
4. Before MC got her previous live memories, she was allowed to spend money (MC clothes are good and pretty) and she said she harassed the maids, and only got scolding or probation from the duke. So it was clear that even if she act badly (typical brat villain) the family didn't really care. They don't even use her misbehaviour to slap her, or anything abusive.
5. Maybe term : they don't care. Is more fitting than abuse. It may not be complete neglect, but still "they don't care".
6. She lives separately in annex but it wasn't shabby building. She also allowed to eat in dining room together. And when she eat alone, she eat normal food not bad food like we always see in usual illegitimate story. She still have her tea time and even allowed to call designer to the house instead shopping to the shop.
7. Even tho she is illegitimate, the family still made her attending parties and balls as Perdia
8. About how the two brothers did, I think it was normal. Again, who will be happy if your father suddenly bring illegitimate child into home. But it's not like the brothers hit her or play prank on her.
I m guessing that her being killed in novel was not the doing of perdia family, but by some scheme of 2nd prince.
Lol, MC real power is bringing good luck to everyone she loves or care about (I strongly think so). My hypothesis is, it's not necessarily for her to stay with them, as long as she cares for them or wish something good for them, it will eventually happened one way or another. MC didn't lives with Mary the maid, but she got lucky with gold coin when MC wish Mary found gold coin. She also asked her ex fiance to pick up sword, and then he found his swordsmanship.
Also, the family started falling apart when MC no longer loves them. Lol.
It's the parents fault tho. They thought Diana was bringing good luck and severely neglected MC. Parents are humans so I understand they want to idolize the kid who they thought bringing good luck, but it soooo unnecessary for them to be cruel to MC. Let say they want to spoil Diana, then so be it. What it is for them to teach the other children to be disrespectful to their elder sister? To feel ashamed just because she "wasn't useful".
I hope the blonde girl is someone powerful who will help MC kick Leroy family lol
Wow so unbelievably stupid. Every single person told her that bitch is suspicious but MC was fawning over her. She even believed "Christina" is bad person, she has Christina memory, she was yes annoying and haughty, but not evil. Yet she believe that lie. So dumb
Kinda sad the artist downgraded Blan handsomeness. He was totally hot as proxy in the wedding. But now his design totally downgraded.
Btw, it's alright, MC & ML get together early on. They also don't have weird frustrating misunderstanding. Before the hunting festival with eastern noble, MC & ML will be rich (so it will be less than 2 months).
Let see. Both MC & ML are cute. They started off smart, come from good and harmonious family. ML definitely green flag with no misunderstanding whatsoever. They started dating early on.
But I m brothered by how inconsistent MC character is & not well built world.
Let start with,
At first MC found a book/novel that indicates she is living inside a book, but weirdly enough, everyone can read the book, and it's weird how robina accept it easily what written in the book and believe she is the FL of this world. While ML suddenly realized MC was from another world.
MC & ML knew Robina shenanigans, but MC let her get away with everything with "this is between robina and me, I'll deal with it myself". This is why I said MC is inconsistent, she is smart enough to know robina is not good person from the start, but she ALWAYS wanted to be friends with her, " If she doesn't act and be true to herself, I think I can be friends with her". It's so strange how MC knew Robina is manipulated real Viola and turned her into victim, but MC still "hope Robina doesn't stoop that low". Tbh, aside from lovey dovey part, I don't like how MC think.
And what's with her going to town without guards??
And she kept being annoying in front of " Wish Painting"
At first I was frustrated over ML personality. But I m glad after MC family learned that ML was actually just placeholder successor and being abused since young, MC family accept him and told him to think of them as family. They also offer ML to stay at their mansion instead of duke mansion. Ilya also provided ML with successor lesson, MC mother provided ML with swordsmanship lesson.
ML actually never learned swordsmanship, he was just just sent to battle since 14yo and only fight to survive. ML is kind hearted since childhood and very genius and also polite. Showered with love by MC family, ML finally found his own family who love him regardless. Made him no longer beg love from the duchy. He also never forgave his mother when she asked. Because he said, her love no longer important to him, because he already have family who believe in him and love him, regardless all the rumors and even support him. At least, he stopped being such a pushover begging for love.
Background story :
Duke was not initial successor as he was a 2nd son, so he didn't learn successor lesson, and he also lived his life freely also had a lover. But his older brother suddenly died from illness forced him to be a new successor. As a new duke, he had arranged marriage with the duchess (woman he didn't love). He performed his duty to have an heir (ML older brother). So he told his wife he will never love her and as they already have a son, he will never sleep with her again. One time, duke was drunk and slept with the duchess, mistook her as his lover. Duchess became pregnant and ML was born. Duke wasn't abusive to ML but everytime he sees ML he saw his own mistake, so he ignored him. He knew all the abuse, but he didn't care. And he was very much useless duke. The duchy was controlled by elders because duke is stupid.
Blair (ML older brother) has violence tendency. At a time, he realized ML was a genius. So he started blaming all his violence behavior as MLs. He killed ML pet bird, trashing the mansion, stole duches jewelry. And the duchess believed Blair was innocent sweet kind child while ML was irredeemable violent kid. Actually the maids and servants knew about it but they all kept quiet because Blair threatened to kill them if they tell the duchess. Even tho the duke dislike ML because he reminded him of his mistake, duke also terrible father to Blair, as he didn't see Blair was worthy successor. After Duke saw potential in ML, he supported ML as successor, Blair was enraged and killed the duke instantly, the duchess saw it. So she told lie that she will support Blair as successor. Duchess finally questioning all things that happened. She asked Blair that how he was a sweet child who bought flowers from florist and left it on her window. Blair immediately said yes he was. Duchess finally realized it was a lie. Because the flowers are wild flowers that left in front of her bedroom door. She also asked ex servants who worked around the time her children was kid, and they told her Blair was all the culprit but he threatened them. She regretted that she pushed away her sweet child and abused him for years only to keep the violent one around.
After the successor voting, Duchess voted for ML and also reported to elder that Blair was the one who killed the duke. She apologized to ML but ML told her, if she apologized after he return from war the 1st time (where ML bought music box), he will forgive her. But now her apologies and love are meaningless as he already found family and people who love him and see him as he is. Duchess left the capital and back to her own family home. She didn't attend her husband funeral or ML wedding. She works as managing the household, and send her salary to ML to cover the loan she took for Blair.
Yeah I like this tho. MC and her healthy family are such MVP. They helped ML a lot and genuinely like him
So many bad adults. Wtf. The only sane adult is the dad and I think the father is alright too, but father only concern about Leni. Oh adults in the duchy are also normal.
On the spoiler I read, the dad has been brainwashed by high priest since young to not love other than god (I think so he can hold papa tremendous holy power to himself), he kept saying, something terrible will happen to anyone papa loves aside from god. And papa believed it because the mom was cursed and died. So he was afraid asha will die if he loves her.
In all previous lives, papa always sent to subjugate monsters, so he always came late after asha died. Everytime asha died, he will massacre everyone and kill himself.
The mom was still alived but under cursed. Her body was preserved by Lux. Mom soul was the one calling asha so she repeated her lives all over. Asha mission from lux is to bring back mom to kingdom.
Mom will be the queen so asha can still lives as a princess. Papa will receive archduke title and recognized as asha father.
Asha will also run away with translator to gain power to take over the throne. Like she will run away for years to accumulate power, people support and money.
But I still can't bring myself to like papa. He did the deeds with princess Beatrice and then neglected his child. Yes yes brainwash brainwash. If brainwashing was that great, then why did he love princess Beatrice?? And they have been together since they were young. Then suddenly after asha born, oh yeah, the brainwashing works, I shouldn't love anyone aside from god. Geeezzz. I understand if he afraid he could bring destruction to asha if he loves her. But he can stay by her side, like dude, be her knight?? Talk to her?? Be her friend?? Visit her sometimes? Inquire about her wellbeing? I know he can't afford to be her dad but he can act like human being in all those 9 lives but he chose not to. I still don't like him tho. Cry me a river. Whatever. Asha gave him so many changes so they can be close together but he chose to distant himself. So annoying.
The story is so wholesome, she get along with everyone and all her cousins, even her jerk uncle turn softer. Love the familial love!
13yo evan is so cute, the way he is so sure how the baby is made is by holding hand, at night time, in bed, by married couple. He even smug about it "she is 14 but she doesn't even know how the baby is made" This is so cute
Angel, baby, this is what happened if you stuck in situationshit. Lol.
My baby Yayul I was so rooting for him tho. But it's alright. At least ML isn't scumbag. Btw aunt and twins are antagonists.
The only who truly "care" For MC only his grandfather, even tho his grandfather cares for him because he knows MC is smart. But his obvious favorism make MC lose his hyung's trust (that he doesn't interest in being heir), MC has to keep acting foolish (being playboy and stupid at work), it make MC lost love from his parents. Wait, MC said when he was a kid, only his hyung who cared for him, so that's mean the parents also ignored him.
I also don't like ML such a scumbag, he will be the next heir by marrying MC and still thinking about manipulating MC. I hope he broke his dick
So from what I remember.
MC think he is reincarnated into BL Novel. But what's strange is all characters are faces from friends and families he knew in real life.
MC said himself is 20yo not 26 or 27 like uke in novel. And he is very insistent.
MC did get sold to ML. ML face is like his best friend in real life. And the aunt who work at ML has face as someone he was closed in real life. ML got annoyed, he run background check on MC and found that he was treated in psychiatric. So he made appointment, again, the doctor face look like someone MC knew in real life.
MC told ML that he is 20yo, so he will call ML Hyung because he is older. He also told him that what he knew about MC in the novel. He told ML that MC was raped by alpha when he was a kid (pedophile) that's why he was afraid of alpha.
I dropped this because, ML is very suspicious of MC. The doctor said, it's possible that MC has split personality disorder. But ML only thought that MC is lying. He even forbid MC to meet with the doctor again. But MC way of thinking is really frustrating, he thinks like children. Like : I will staged a run away, but it turned out I only went to visit my doctor, so even if ML found me, he won't be mad because I didn't actually run away.
I think there's also some kind differences like MC can cook, while ML certain that MC who is from rich family can't do anything.
I dropped it because ML has frustrating personality and MC act like total child.
But I do curious whether this is a world of novel or MC actually has split personality and "imagine" Happy life where people he met actually his friend and family in real life
I love this so much. I usually read webtoon with kid
as MC because I want to read something cute or warm hearted or familial love. I already suspected that she is lark real daughter, because they have same red eyes. But their background story is incredibly sad.
Lark regressing million times just to meet camilla, his lover and MC, his daughter again, reliving his happy moment, only to see them died over and over.
It's very regrettable that camilla sacrificed her life so MC and her lover could be reuniting. It's also sad that MC had to die 8 times before she can meet her real father. But it also needed, so she could be hidden from the eyes of other god.
I m still thinking how lark lived very depressing lives because it repeated indefinitely, and when he found happiness, the destiny was cruel.
Btw, I like how the story isn't about woman fighting with other woman over a man. Not cheating story, not a mistress, and not scumbag ML.
Even familial love can be very touching and intriguing.
I don't understand what Dima sees in byatt? He is stupid simp.
I don't read the novel, but I looked up spoiler. But when Arabella actually died, I cried, my head hurt. It still sad even tho I knew she is going to die. She was feisty at first but it was just because she was unloved. But when Ari treated her like family, she became so cute. She is also smart, that the teacher matched their education level with Isabella level (because Arabella is smarter), she also composed music and accepted at music school at age of 10.
According to spoiler, this novel is very long. Like over 470 chapters and still continue (?) Because I still haven't read the ending spoiler.
I also curious about past time line. Did cesare really love Isabella and not Ari? I mean sure Isabella is pretty but she is stupid. In sense of education, knowledge, music, money management etc, she is stupid. She only good at doll herself up.
I wanna know if cesare was regretted that Ari died, she was very smart that she handle all inner palace and money management for 8 years. Can even that bitch do like Ari?
According to spoiler, cesare in this timeline isn't obsessed to the throne or anything. It was his mother who kept forcing him to be king.
I also kinda confuse here.
1. The king loves Rubina a lot, but his love to cesare is questionable
2. Rubina said to cesare, the king loves him so he will be king
3. But according to cesare childhood memories, cesare liked the queen more because she was nice to him. And after Alfonso was born, cesare was forbid to call them mother & father again, and assumed as prince's cousin instead.
I wanna see all ML pov in past life and current life.
Alfonso is absolute cinnamon roll. He is goody two shoes. But did he really love Isabella in the past? Ari said alfonso treasured Isabella. I kinda believe him but maybe not love, because current Alfonso also very polite to valoa princess (his marriage candidate).
I feel like De Mare family wish for Isabella to be a crown princess is kinda far fetched. Yes I understand the kingdom is very religious. But there's duke's or Marquis daughter for crown princess candidate as well. Why the kking chose to married Alfonso to Isabella (in past). I mean if crown princess is from strong noble household, doesn't it help more than cardinal's daughter?
I like how rubina first evaluation to Ari wasn't based on her appearance or her background. But instead she admired that Ari is smart person and pushed cesare to her, even tho she insisted that cesare to be a king, she chose Ari to be cesare partner because she is smart. Maybe because she is mistress herself, so she doesn't mind ari background and care more about her brain and conduct.
I read that Isabella bitch is still not getting her karma (on the spoiler). She married to broke noble household, but still messing with Ari and even tried to flirt with the king.
I kinda don't want to continue to read because Arabella death. It's so sad. It's the first time I read regression story where MC couldn't saved/helped the person they loved.
If any of you guys read the novel and it's already finish, please give me spoiler.
How is cesare ending? The king? Isabella? What is golden rule? Why ari ring finger was cut in the past?
I dropped this because I think a lot of characters are just pitiful. At start, yeah sure acting crazy to avoid marriage/sold off. But that also mean, sacrificing your siblings so you can have your own freedom.
I m glad this is not a story sister vs sister to marry 1 guy. Ugh. All the sisters are in normal relationship. No abuse or bullying to MC.
Empress Matilda is the normal one, she taught her children well. Nigel is normal and even marry to MC Clan and choose to be a duke not crown prince. Rose is also notmal, happily married. Even Empress Matilda didn't hate MC when Rose was chosen to married to Izen. She was just sad her daughter was married to far away empire.
What I mean pitiful is Roche Empress Family.
Only Daisy has good ending. She got a job, and being best friend with MC. She could choose her own life.
Kaizen & Daisy were bullied by their mother and neglected, only used as pawn. The empress only care for Deimos, which made him stupid.
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧ why the emperor always need multiple wives and children. It created a lot of power struggle. I wish they just get along. It was also his decision to cover oddity clan, because he loved her 3rd wife a lot, he also killed all the nobles who joined the cover up. Which made him lost a lot of supporter. Now what. He kept saying, he can't do anything. Huh.
Why doha become such subML. And a jerk one at that. That main couple even stay away from him. He could've just become friends. Such a shame.
And I don't like the spoiler that say, doha might end up with FL ML daughter. Because doha doesn't age, so he remain youthful and beautiful. It's so weird. Like that twilight drama where bella's kid end up with the werewolf.
Stop it girl. You don't have daddy issue why chasing an old man. The one who tried to kill your dad at that. So weird.
Aside from doha and their daughter, main couple are great
So I couldn't find any raw webtoon or novel. But here's what I found from spoiler :
1. On coronation day of Lyra, MC will come with her brother wearing necklace from ML
2. Empress mother will slander FL by telling lies that FL tormented Lyra until she miscarriage (lol reall?) That's why she needed to punish FL. The slander was absurd, FL just arrived few days ago and even unconscious for 2 days.
3. At that time, ML & Duke Vadell will come. ML will announce that he is the missing prince 12 years ago. He will prove himself by showing his lightning magic (1st prince was the only one who can use lightning magic).
4. Yuri gave up the throne, he & lyra were exiled. I don't think this is enough punishment tho???
Even tho he wasn't part of the conspirator who tried to kill ML (and he didn't covet the throne), Yuri deliberately let FL tormented by his mother. He also said himself, FL should just sacrifice herself so everyone else can be happy (why don't you?). Not once FL demanded his love, but he should be nice to her. She was the brain of the imperial family. He didn't need to love her, but he could protect her, respect her, maybe think of her as friend (?) In the same boat and at least help her with work. Instead, he never care for FL and even let his mother keep tormented her for 10 years. I don't exile is enough.
5. Empress mother was only jailed. So frustrating. After all that Assassination attempt 12 years ago, and taking advantage of FL. And even intercepting letters for 10 years, She only got jailed. Really.
6. Lyra was greedy bitch tho. If he really did this out of love to Yuri. Why would she acted like sly fox (crying and lied). Yuri said to FL, he made Lyra as mistress to help her family. Should be Lyra and his father removed from nobility for her deception.
Plot holes (I think) :
1. FL was the 1st girl who ever born in Vadell family and the Duke and brother love her so much. But why they never visited her once in 10 years? I know they planned rebellion to replace the emperor and take back FL, but 10 years without communication is weird. They sent their 8yo girl to imperial palace, why they never visited her once. The letters intercepted could have been resolved sooner and FL won't feel abandoned.
2. If Yuri really didn't want child from Lyra, why past life, he has child with Lyra?? What's made the difference between Yuri past life and current Yuri?? He definitely said, he doesn't want his kid to suffer miserable life because the kid is from concubine. But in past life, he preferred to locked up FL and have a kid with Lyra.
3. The life cycle itself have repeated over 480 times.
4. ML also had Oracle where he will at least reach age 50, but every time FL died, ML kill himself as protest to God of fate who refused to resurrect FL. He kill himself over 480 times. Which is weird, since FL also has oracle that who has/marry FL will rule over continent. But god of fate let FL died like 3 months after her oracle was announced. God of fate, forced ML to fulfill his oracle (live to age 50), but she didn't care FL died early and didn't fulfill her oracle which made no one rule over the continent??? Kinda weird. God of fate finally fed up with ML, brought FL soul with past life memories.
5. Past life Yuri and empress mother, kept FL, for legitimacy. Because Yuri is a son of commoner concubine. But after hearing FL oracle, which FL will bring prosperity, why did they let her die??? So weird. I mean logically, if they find out that FL is the golden goose, shouldn't they treat her nicely. But they chose to locked FL and she died soon after.
Past lives :
After FL died, ML will come and executed Yuri and Lyra (the kid never born). And he will kill himself. After power vacuum in the country there's war, the duke died, and the FL brother going to war.
If this destruction is the result of FL not fulfilling her oracle to bring prosperity, then why god of fate so stubborn to kept letting her die for almost 500 times??
Why would god want ML to fulfill his oracle so much but she just let FL die like that?
Anyway, if someone read the novel can give some spoiler. Thank you!
