It was a pretty fun manhwa! There were some scenes where it felt like the author was trying a little too hard to make the readers laugh, so the comedy occasionally felt forced. But overall, both the art and the story were entertaining. It was clearly written purely for fun and enjoyment, and I really liked it. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something fun to read!
P.S. I’m SO down bad for Jin… I swear, I have a thing for black-haired guys with a slightly obsessive side…
There was a period when things got pretty depressing. Honestly, there were so many times when I thought, “If I were in her shoes, I’d probably consider suicide too.” That’s how frustrating and emotionally draining the situation was. Being constantly surrounded by feelings of anxiety and insecurity must be absolutely terrifying.
They eventually became a lovely family, but I still can’t really bring myself to think either positively or negatively about them. I guess I’m a little conflicted about how I feel.
Overall, it was a good manhwa. I think they did a great job of conveying what they wanted to get across.
Honestly, I can’t say I didn’t feel sorry for Rashta. Especially in the beginning, I was genuinely shocked to realize that she wasn’t actually malicious. She was almost naively innocent to the point of stupidity, and after a while, that innocence simply turned into foolishness.
She was uneducated, inexperienced, had never really seen much of the world, and had never truly been loved, yet somehow she had always tried to hold on to life. The fact that she didn’t even realize she was destroying another person’s home while doing so came from a kind of careless ignorance rather than deliberate cruelty.
Finding out that she had already lost one child, only to have her other child taken away from her as well, was genuinely heartbreaking. She was used and manipulated so horribly by terrible people. At first, I hated her because I thought she was doing everything deliberately, but especially after her child was taken away, the mental state she fell into made it clear that her situation was much more complicated—and that, in reality, Rashta was a truly pitiful person.
BUT that doesn’t mean she can be forgiven, of course. People learn. Even after everything she saw and experienced, she chose not to learn from it. She chose not to use her own judgment. So while I found her tragic and pitiful, I can’t say I was particularly sad when she died.
As for Sovieshu, I’d say he was the root cause of pretty much everything. I don’t feel sorry for him in any way, shape, or form. I hope he suffers even more.
Navier, of course, received help from other people as well, but rather than using them, she asked for their help and built relationships based on mutual support. She used her head. She carved out a life for herself. Yes, her coldness annoyed me at times, but ultimately, that was simply part of her personality.
The people I felt the most sorry for throughout this entire story were Rashta’s children and Grand Duke Kaufman…
P.S. The dragon? There was barely any information about it. They just threw it into the story and then took it out again. Considering how many events happened and how emotionally complicated this manhwa became, the ending honestly didn’t feel sufficient. Yes, it was a happy ending, but I really wish they had shown everything more clearly and given us more closure.
It took me a while to get used to the early art style, but it had its own charm and charisma. (Personally, though, I definitely prefer the later art.)
Overall, this was such a beautiful series in every way.
I LOVED IT.
By “stealing someone’s life,” I mean both taking their place and literally killing them. Being forgiven so easily for something like that just doesn’t sit right with me. Not even God would forgive it. And Marianne essentially played God by manipulating so many people. I felt like the entire family should have had to suffer through that pain. I was honestly disappointed that the revenge didn’t fully succeed. No being should be that “kind” or forgiving, in my opinion.
I also wish we could have seen more of her romantic life… It feels like she never truly had a life of her own. The ending felt rushed. Still, it definitely made it into my favorites. I genuinely enjoyed reading it all the way through.
The other two ladies-in-waiting just completely disappeared??
I feel like Regef knew they weren’t actually siblings, but still cared about her anyway(?) Or maybe he just needed her. I really couldn’t make sense of his obsession. At first, there was that flashback where he hears his father say “you’re not from my seed,” and I thought, “oh, he’s in love with her.” But it’s not even that—he just comes off as purely obsessive.
There’s magic in the story, but it’s never explored deeply. There’s absolutely no explanation for why she dies in that world, wakes up in a modern-day setting, dies again, and then returns to the same world.
In the Age of Ceremony, Edel’s mother was supposedly going to accompany her, but there wasn’t even a single proper scene about that either. So many things were left hanging.
The art was amazing, and the translation was really well done. Overall, the story itself was enjoyable, but the rushed, almost careless ending really ruined it for me. And on top of that, nothing even happened with Rafaello…
I’m honestly a bit frustrated and disappointed. Still, I can’t deny that I really enjoyed reading it while it lasted, so it’s definitely one of my favorites.
It wasn’t a cliché that we see all the time, and the artwork was really nice. However, it ended in a very simple way, and it felt somewhat lacking because they didn’t explore the characters’ pasts in depth, and the main character’s abilities were explained rather superficially and brushed over.
It had so much potential to become something great, but it ended up feeling more like a light, snackable read, which is a bit disappointing.
Still, since the premise itself isn’t overly cliché, it was sweet and easy to read.
Reading this felt like a tiring journey—but the kind where you know it will lead somewhere beautiful in the end.
At first, I found the art a bit off. Pauliana didn’t look like a “typical” female character (which was probably the whole point). But as I kept reading, I got used to it. She was written so well that her appearance matched her personality perfectly, and before I knew it, I had completely accepted her.
There were moments when I caught myself thinking “okay, that’s enough,” but at the same time, Pauliana’s determination made everything feel real. Considering she grew up without love and even lost touch with her own sense of femininity, it made perfect sense that she would interpret someone’s love for her in a different way.
Overall, it was an absolutely amazing manhwa.
Even though the translation was very poor, the story itself was really good. I don’t know why such a good manhwa is so underrated or why it still doesn’t have an official translation, but I’d like to thank the “teenmanhua” team. It was very sweet and ended at a really nice point.
He won't be a good guy. Never ever.
Don't fall for him Dan
I read the whole thing in one sitting without getting bored at all. I absolutely hated how controlling the mother was over her children. Some things can be handled just fine through communication, you know.
The whole illness and everything felt like it came out of nowhere, as if the authors were sitting around thinking, “We need some major drama. What should we do?” and just came up with that.
But oh well, I still enjoyed reading it!
