Description “I’m going to adopt a child.” Duke Paul Voreoti’s impulsive decision shocked everyone in the mansion. Not only did he make her his daughter, but he also gave her the name of a ‘beast’ that only direct members of the bloodline could receive. “Even as you breathe right now, I’m earning money.” “It’s confidence, not arrogance.” “My face really does have its advantages.” The most arrogant father in the whole world, and “I love muscles the most. Let’s get muscular.” “Show me your thigh muscles! Your butt would be even better!” “You’re nothing but a flower if you have a calm personality…” his corrupted(?) daughter. And… “I will give his excellency the information he wants most.” “Information I want most, you say…” “You won’t regret it.” …A stepmother(?) with a strange secret as well. NU Link: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/i-became-the-male-leads-adopted-daughter/ Novel Raw: https://page.kakao.com/home/남주의-입양딸이-되었습니다/54257360 This series drew me in as it started with the dad’s viewpoint of his adopted daughter, who first seemed just a little weird and precocious, till we learn that Spoiler she has actually transmigrated. It’s a heartwarming family story, just that the MC is a kid who actually suggested new torture methods for the people who abused children, and her dad was very proud of her for it.
***TOC reflects spoiler thread up to pg. 20, Post #393 as of Nov 28, 2021*** Table of Contents Novel / Manhwa Title: 남주의 입양딸이 되었습니다 9 VOLS COMPLETE / [Main Story] 265 Chs / [Side Story] 76 Chs Novel Raw: KAKAO, KAKAO (BOOK) Manhwa Raw: KAKAO Spoiler: **UPDATES TO TOC** **This TOC will be updated as frequently as possible and will be checked for more MTLs / summaries later on*** 11/18 - Added MTLs for Ch 81-84 to "List of MTLs Pt. 1" Spoiler: A note about this TOC & worldbuilding This was actually one of my favorite threads prior to joining NU because there was enough content that it seemed like most of the story was present and not missing the important events of the novel. Unfortunately, the amount of information on this thread was a double edged sword..... I incurred a (real) debilitating headache while going through this because I forgot that it was 265 chapters worth of content and 76 SS that, even when summarized, was a nightmare to go through....At the end of the day though, I am thankful for all the contributions, it's amazing. Another thing I didn't realize, the worldbuilding for this novel is insane. If Lord of the Rings was a manhwa, this would be it. Compiling the list of characters was one of the most painful things I've done recently. It seemed like the author wanted to enrich the story by introducing as many characters as possible, however, the flaw of this plan was most of them were mentioned in passing through dialogue and didn't come into contact w/ the main characters that much. It drove me crazy b/c Trash of the Count's family has a huge cast of characters but I can remember who most of them are b/c they each had some kind of big role they played in an arc. At the same time, the novel is 700+ chs ongoing so maybe that's also why many minor characters were able to get screentime. As a human goldfish, the character list was actually created for my own convenience but I quickly regretted committing to it.... It is at least mostly true to the novel as I've gone back and rechecked / reread the chapters to confirm the information; the only section I'm not totally sure of is probably Glasdigo knights. If anyone can confirm who Pavo or Tra is, that would be great. Thanks, Le_Tired Spoiler: ***DISCLAIMER ON AUTHOR*** Just want to be fair and give a heads up, the author is problematic and it's the reader's choice whether they want to keep supporting them or not. It is honestly a miracle that the novel was able to get a manhwa adaptation in the first place considering that a TL team even dropped it due to controversy.

which chapter started with MC's point of view? where every chapter started with the intro that talked about her being transmigrated? spoilers? many thanks !
The narration style of the novel is third person omniscient, at first favoring Paul (MC’s dad) and later on switching between him and Leonia. We start to see more from Leo’s POV when she confronted the people from the orphanage around chapter 6-7. Around chapter 10 we learn that she has transmigrated. themisslatte is translating this on WattPad and as of right now there are 23 chapters. Anyone knows more about the future stepmom Varya?? What is her secret? Has she also transmigrated?
im on ch 27 rn and im looking forward to the tea party. i wonder how many children will cry seeing the duke?
This is one of the most realistic father daughter family bonding stores yet. The way these two roast each other constantly is just precious. All their interactions from the first moment they meet made everyone just internally scream that they had to actually be father and daughter. Then when its revealed their actually related the feeling that they exuded was "of course were related were father and daughter." At no point is she trying to suck up to him or act her body's age. The family produces "unique" individuals so her oddness is contributed to that and the trauma she suffered through. She's just delightfully herself. I realy like how she admits that the fact that she was adopted just threw the whole script for the novel out the window. Just by existing the story is bound to go sideways so better not cling to it.
I really don't want a stepmother, in this story. Right now, her and her father relationship is soo cute and funny. If the stepmother comes, she better treat our mc nicely. Otherwise not gonna accept. Any spoilers about the stepmother?
I don't think we have to worry to much about evil step mother type stuff. Liona is still young and can't fully control the fangs of the beast power. One cocky ***** already crossed the line wand was reduced to a vegetative state. The Duke should be a lot more discerning about the women that approach him now. Before it seems he was dismissive and apathetic in the past but he'll be more careful now. He regretted letting that woman near her.
Her teacher for manners. Spent every lesson talking s**t to Leona about her birth. Leona was plannin on holding it in and properly rattling to Paul but the B hit a nerve on the last day and Leona nearly murdered her.
It takes place in the chapters that have already been translated. It starts at chapter 16 with her just being slightly b****y and she gets more obvious and malicious with her words. By chapter 18 she arrogantly steps over Liona's final line. Blessed chapter 19 Liona tears into her literately and figuratively.
Though it's just a hunch but I think the ML might be the Crown Prince. Though the name has been mentioned once but Leonia said in her POV that the original plot starts during the coronation ceremony/B'day celebration (don't remember this one) of the Crown prince. N also Varya, the FL is relatively younger in age as compared to the OG ML(her dad) in the original story n she's an equally unique character as she was able to 'tame' the black beast in the prev novel. Despite the bad blood b/w the Northern duke n the imperial family but the Crown prince's role might be a crucial one in this novel...
Spoiler actually our mc is duke's niece. her mother is the cousin of the duke and several years ago she run away from home with her lover
