Mikazuki Jun's Favorite

You know the blurb - Violette is desperately jealous of her sister, tries to kill her, spends 18 months in prison, wakes up two years earlier, resolves to do better this time and become a nun.

So it's the day after Maryjun's arrival and she and Violette go to a garden party. Here we meet Yulan, Violette's childhood friend. He is a year younger than she and resembles his 'cousin' the Crown Prince, who considers him a better man in almost all respects. As the novel progresses we will learn that Yulan is the King's son by one of his mistresses who the King strongarmed one of his relatives into adopting (a thing which is known by all of the other nobles but is politely Not Talked About), that he met Violette when she rescued him from bullies when they were both kids, and that he is utterly yandere for her. It is also implied that he knows temporal magic and therefore could be the reason Violette went back in time.

At the party one of the other noble girls with whom Violette has been friendly accidentally-on-purpose pours tea on MJ's skirt. The Crown Prince immediately attacks Vio as the instigator. Where before she defended herself and sealed the Prince's opinion of her as a jealous woman, here she stays silent. Yulan sarcastically tells the Prince how clever he is to see the whole situation at just a glance without talking to anybody and sweeps Vio off to eat. The Prince starts to brood on Yulan's words and realises that he jumped to conclusions that were probably wrong and resolves to pay more attention to Vio and the situation.

Next they're off to school. Vio resolves to spend more time with Yulan rather than throwing her attention away on the Prince and so starts to eat lunch with Yulan and spend time after school with him instead of fluttering around the Prince. Now that she's suddenly gone right after he accused her of something she blatantly didn't do, the Prince misses Violette. After a few days where it becomes blatantly obvious she is avoiding him, he gives a Royal Request for her to meet him for afternoon tea one day, where he apologises to her. The scene has the Prince reflecting on how she's not such a bad girl really and Vio wondering why she wasted so much time dreaming of this bloke and trying to think of a way to politely leave. She had been looking for Yulan right before getting the order, so once Yulan finds out she's at the Prince's salon he turns up to collect her. She grabs the chance to leave with obvious haste, leaving the Prince behind watching them go. Prince sees Vio smile at Yulan with happiness, realizes she was only smiling politely at him, and gets jealous.

Next is the violin recital thing. Vio realises that the Prince has barely interacted with MJ this time, while last time they were close enough that he invited her to the royal box. So she decides to tutor MJ in the violin to get her up to standard for a performance to attract the Prince's attention. We get some scenes here of the family interaction and we get to see how MJ is praised for everything but Vio is either told to help her sister more or ignored. MJ also asks to take afternoon tea with Vio and there's a truly painful scene where MJ is prattling on thinking everything is fine and Vio is trying not to scream. At the recital, MJ performs beautifully but when the Prince is getting ready for his performance his cape is ripped accidentally and there's no time to go get a new one. When some of the other ladies begin to discuss punishing the stage crew for allowing it to happen, MJ rounds on them, speaking in defence of the commoner crew. Meanwhile in the dressing area, Vio whips out a needle and thread and quickly mends the Prince's cape. He asks her how she knows to do that, because noble girls consider sewing beneath them. She fobs him off because she can't tell him she learnt to sew in order to pass the time in prison. When the other nobles ask how the cape got mended she says that she'd brought along one of their household's seamstresses in case something happened to her or MJ's outfits.

We now have the studying for exams arc, where Vio and Yulan make plans to study together and the Prince and MJ horn in. Vio chooses to see it as a chance to get MJ and the Prince together. This is where a lot of fans start really disliking MJ as she starts making overtures to Yulan, specifically because Vio likes him.

We now start a flashback arc in which we learn that Vio spent her childhood dressed as a boy at her mother's insistence and consequently was molested by her mother who pretended she (Vio) was her (Vio's) father, because of how much Vio resembles him. She also used to beat Vio for not being him. This only stopped when Vio hit puberty and became very physically obviously a woman. Polite Society saw Vio going around in boys' clothes with a boy's haircut and boyish mannerisms, and saw her sporting unexplained bruises, but very deliberately Did Not Connect The Dots, but consequently Vio and her situation now have a lot of sympathy in Society, though Vio doesn't realise it.

Now it is The Day That Never Ends. It starts when Vio's grandfather, the duke's ex-father-in-law, summons the duke for a Discussion about his behaviour. We do not yet know what was discussed, why Grandfather is only entering the story now, what his role is, or why he is able to order the duke around (but there's a lot of speculation on this forum). It continues when the current duchess summons Vio to afternoon tea. During this tea she makes it clear that she has been ignoring Vio at the duke's order. She makes overtures to Vio that are borderline creepy and strongly reminiscent of Vio's mother. Vio gets out as soon as she can. Meanwhile at school, MJ has 'overheard' some girls discussing (loudly) her situation, that her father is an adulterer, her mother is a golddigger and she's a bastard upstart, and how forbearing Lady Violette is, so graciously enduring such people. She (MJ) runs into Yulan and asks him if he's ever said such things. He promptly tells her he never said it but he definitely thought it. When she goes "Huh?" he asks her what she expected because what else do you call a man who openly lives with a woman when he's married to someone else, what else do you call a woman who sleeps with a married man, and what do you call a child born between two such people who insists on entering polite society? And regarding Violette, how could she possibly like such interlopers? And before she says how loving her father is, how loving was he to Vio? MJ is shocked at the reality that has been shoved in her face and races home. She bursts into Vio's room, crying, and demands to know if it's true that Vio feels that way. Before Vio can say anything, their father comes home and bursts into Vio's room. Looking around and seeing MJ crying, he yells at Vio that she's determined to destroy all his happiness and punches her in the mouth. MJ jumps between them and starts screaming, the duke is screaming, and Vio scrambles and gets out of there. She starts running and doesn't really stop until she bumps into Yulan who picks her up, tells her he loves her and wants to marry her and take her away from her entire horrible family. He then takes her to a hotel to wash and rest in a safe place. Marin arrives at the hotel with some of Vio's stuff and news about what's going on back at the ducal mansion. Apparently the duke got punched, either by the chef or Yulan (or possibly both? I hope it's both). Vio is calming down, Marin is calming down, Yulan is coldly furious with the duke and determined to get Vio away from the whole shemozzle and the ducal mansion is in chaos as the servants are in revolt at Vio's treatment. And it's only 6 or 7 in the evening. We still have 6 hours to go. What next?

GUYS PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!!

So i read this bl manga i think 3-4 months ago(not quite sure tho) The story goes like this, The uke is naive-as in super (he doesnt know how to jerk off and what porn is). The seme is badboy with playboy status, they were schoolmates in an all boys school. The uke is famous as 'lonely wolf' because he's a lonely guy without any friends but he looks so intimidating so the seme took an interest in him And made him a pet-not literally. All habits taught the seme to the uke like smoking drinking etc. They were having fun. The seme taught also the uke on how to masturbate, they also watching porn. And they also cutting classes so they can find some clubs and so on and so forth. And as what i said, The uke is naive so he doesnt know that he already fall in love in the seme. but he doesn't know that the one who fall in love first is the seme. Seme was preceded by fear, he taught what other people might think since they are both men and what will his gang might think to him (he has one, hes the leader i totally forgot whats their gang name +++

Since a I see a lot of people who wants some spoiler + I just love this story so much IMMA SPOIL Y'ALL

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!

so based on my rusty af memory lippie's family was killed by the emperor. yes, the emperor is the villain. it was all because their family can summon the silver cup, which is some magical cup that can grant any wish, but the thing is to summon the cup someone from the rustichel family should be in deep sadness or is hurting, that is the criteria of summoning it. so the emperor schemed for lippie to go through all that for her to summon the cup, and when she did he would basically steal it, why? because he has legitimacy issues and people are supporting the duke ( BECAUSE HE'S THE REAL MF HEIR TO THE CROWN PERIODT ), so he wanted to wish for ultimate power and eternal youth, but In the past she never summoned it because as terra said she was not yet ready. lippie, in this life would summon the cup in the end when Reas/ml was in the brink of death because they are on war / battle with the king. there's also the part where lippie (our unnies and oppas collector) would have more fans YES MORE, and I swear it's cute seeing the ml be fjcking jelly because of her fans. like people would be a fan of her bcs she her singing would undo brainwashing done by the emperor ( since as I said he's having legitimacy issues and doesn't have the commoners supporting him since they support reas as the inheritor of the crown) the undoing of the brainwashing was because lippie stabilized her mana and it was possible because lippie was advised by terra/the big whale to buy the salon which has a lot of ether. ether = life source; more mana needs more ether, that's why she fainted that one time. the king would try everything to sabotage her one would even result in the cutting of her hair short but luckily ML is always there to save our princess.

+ the king and the church knew abt the cup so he was backed by the church in his evil deeds, bcs they want more influence anddddd the country had a lot of places where ether is abundant which they want to monopolize. + the one that did the brainwashing was the "saintess".

+ the king would have a hard time in the present to finish the rustichel family bcs they're gaining a lot more power than the prev life, and them inventing camera would also help with their power but more so on lippie tho.

what about the reas and lippie?
well duh they end up together! but not before our lippie pulled a bakarina and be Mtf DENSE when reas was trying to make her fall for him bcs he be jelly since she have 5 or 6? Men simping for her, they defeat the emperor and reas became the emperor (because he was the real heir to the crown and the king wasn't even supposed to sit on the throne which by the way he killed the his brother, the last emperor and empress who was reas parents and planned to kill him by sending him to war BUT BITCH HE FAILED HAHAHA) then lippie became empress and they have twins years after!

+btw ml didn't go back in time like our lippie but he did have recurring dreams about their past future like their dates and how she died, stuff like that

+ they weren't a couple in the past life despite them having feelings for each other. Lippie was too prideful and Reas was trying not to involve lippie with the king and the struggle for the succession.

as I said this is based on my memory of reading the novel in korean so please don't be mad if I wasnt 100% accurate

tell me what you know, what you wanna know and what y'all think bcs this is some good shit right here, it's just sad that the translation is shit but I mean atlease there's eng translations i guess
