Omg this is great I love stories like this ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Omg thank youuu may i know where are you reading this???
Same! I'm bracing myself for future comments complaining about the romance(s) being too slow. The characters who have love interests don't get together with them until almost the end of the story, because the romantic relationships take a backseat to the relationships between the FL and the sisters.
I understand Korean so I bought and read the ebook in korean on Google Books.
Could you spoil us on the ending for all of them?

Mildred (the FL) becomes a successful businesswoman. She's mostly focused on providing for, helping, and supporting her daughters. Mildred's main role is that she's the one who teaches her daughters confidence and self determination and supports them as they grow, struggle, and make mistakes. Daniel (the ML) falls in love with her very early on and straight up tells her his feelings. She doesn't reciprocate in the beginning because, but he patiently waits and helps her out until she develops feelings for him. Eventually they get married.
Iris, Lily, and Ashley all play a major role in transforming a society that suppresses women's activities.
Iris marries the crown prince and becomes queen. Because of her natural intelligence, resilience, and the support of her family she manages to be accepted to the point where she enacts major reforms in regards to womens' rights and liberties. She becomes a famous queen who goes down in history.
Lily becomes the first ever renknown female painter. A lot of people in society look down on her for being unmarried and being a noble lady with a job, but she perseveres and gains widespread recognition. The Knight is initially confused as to why she would want to work and it causes some conflict between them, but he eventually comes to admire and support her ambition. They marry after she turns 30.
Ashley learns to be more confident and capable out of her desire to support and protect her sisters and stepmother. She eventually starts helping Mildred with her business and ultimately becomes Countess independent of a man (the first woman to do so). She remains unmarried the entire story.
I think some people might complain that Mildred doesn't DO much so doesn't feel as much like a main character as the sisters, but she is really the catalyst for everything. It takes great courage to do what is taboo in society. And when challenging social norms, there is a huge difference between whether or not there is someone who supports you. If it weren't for Mildred, who unconditionally supported her daughters, would Iris, Lily and Ashley have the confidence and courage to accomplish what they did?
What about the FL?
I love ur summaries allover these comments thank you
This is amazing!!! I love how this one is focusing more on woman empowerment and sisterhood rather than only prioritizing romance
(づ￣ ³￣)づ looking forward to it! I hope it gets official English translation as well T_T i would definitely buy the chaps
Sounds like a different version of Little Women don't you think? I love it
wooow i looove it
THANK YOU!!
I was actually worried abt whether I should read it or not but after seeing your comment I am determined to read it!
Omg ,thank youbfor the spoiler. But ehat happened to the Baron Walford? Can you spoil it too?
I m actually rooting for him and Mildred for her third marriage
WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!ヾ(☆▽☆)
Frr! I think it’s great and it sounds like a great and empowering story for women(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Thank you so much!
Gosh. I loveit. Omg
She spoiled it already, try rereading the text again (Btw Baron Walford's first name is Daniel in case you forgot--)
The only remain question is..
There isn't any old fairy at all ?
I'm starting to feel bad for the trash prince's wife (the FL's original sister). Read the raws and it seems she has no idea what the trash prince did to the FL. She thinks that her sister ran away and she and their father have been searching for her. In a later chapter the Trash Prince is being a dick and says she's "useless just like your sister" and the wife asks if he knows about her sister and begs him to tell her if her knows where she is, but the trash prince lies and basically says 'how should I know where she is'.
Please don't judge this story or the characters (including Cinderella!!) too early. Moreso than a romance, this story is about sisterhood, family, and women discovering their independence in an era/place where it isn't really allowed. These four women go through a lot, but all of their struggles are around supporting and protecting each other against the world no matter what.
I don't want to spoil too much but.......

Iris (the eldest daughter) and the Crown Prince fall in love. However, Iris refuses his pursuit for a long time. For one reason, its because she doesn't think she's good enough for him. But the bigger reason is because she believes its her responsibility to protect the Countship and her mother and sisters. If she married the prince, then the countship would fall to her sister's husband and her sister would have to marry someone she doesn't love. Furthermore, no one would accept her as Crown Princess and there would be a lot of struggles to go through and other nobles would target her family. She doesn't want to put them in that position. For that reason, her plan is to marry a very wealthy older man (like 3x her age). Because he's so old she basically would be in charge of things so she's be able to provide for her stepmother and sisters.
Lily (the second eldest) desperately wants to be a painter, but professional artist is one of the many jobs that women aren't allowed to have. Despite that Lily is determined to paint. A knight (the prince's swordmaster) falls in love with her and she loves him back, but more important to her than romance is her dreams and ambitions! She refuses to marry him until she's 30 because (a) she wants to try to pursue being a painter despite the social obstacles and (b) she wants to protect Ashley (Cinderella) by shielding her until Ashely is strong enough and prepared enough to fight for the right to be Countess in her own right, without marrying.
Ashley (Cinderella) despite being clumsy and initially very emotionally weak, she is very very hardworking and determined once she decides on something. At first, she just wants to not be hated by her step-sisters and step-moth, but after they become close thanks to the FL, she feels the warmth of family for the first time (her mother died in childbirth, her father ignored her completely and spent most of his time on trips, and the servants didn't do anything but feed her). After that, her greatest wish becomes to protect and be together with her family forever. She doesn't have a love interest AT ALL. Her entire focus is on helping Mildred make money and eventually she plans to take over the Countship without marrying so that she can support her stepmother and also provide backing for her stepsisters.
