    This is strictly from my memory but hopefully it covers most of the epilogue story I have read so far.
    Sylvia and family go down to her estate which is located far from the capital in a rural area. Due to this, they had to take the portal to the nearest city and then take a carriage for quite a distance to get to the estate. The duchess complains that the roads are too rough so the duke promises that he will have them fixed so that travel to the estate will run smoother in the future. Slyvia looks at her parents and thinks they’re quite friendly like parakeet lovers.

    After they near the estate, Daniel complains that the crown prince shafted Sylvia by giving her such a shabby place. He wonders if it’s because she rejected her proposal. Sylvia doesn’t believe this is the case. She understands why Daniel would think this way because she also used to view the crown prince with suspicious eyes. However, gradually, the crown prince began to show her sincerity and her mind unconsciously changed towards him. Therefore, she defends the crown prince. She tells her brother that she thinks the land he rewarded her with is more than she deserves. She points to a wide range on the map in her hand and shows her brother that she suspects there are mana stones buried below ground. She knows this because the crown prince hinted this to her before she traveled down to the estate.

    Upon arrival at the estate, Sylvia thinks the house looks like a hotel. It’s however old outside and only decent inside. They’re introduced to the butler and the rest of the staff. Once inside the house, the duchess and Irene inspect areas that should be changed while the duke and Cedric review the books. Slyvia also stays with the duke and Cedric to look at the documents after they do. Daniel leaves to confirm that mana stones are indeed buried in the ground. Sylvia and the duke are also introduced to the estate’s administrators. After they leave, and the books are reviewed, the duke asks both Cedric and Sylvia what do they think. The siblings answers that the books look okay. The duke doesn’t say anything. He just accepts their opinion. (Important later) Nevertheless, Sylvia feels that something isn’t right on the estate.

    The family returns to their home estate after their stay at Slyvia’s estate. Slyvia decides to sneak out with spirit king and Tev. She goes to the knights section to fetch Tev. From the knight commander’s behavior, Slyvia believes he knows that she and Tev like each other. He also warmly sends them off. The spirit king flies Slyvia and Tev to the outskirts of her estate then leaves them so Slyvia can save her mana. Slyvia explains to Tev that they’ll go to investigate the place especially where the villagers live. She doesn’t know why but she thinks something is odd there. She also tells Tev that it means that they should act their part and he should speak more comfortably with her. Slyvia also wants to get Tev to stop talking so politely towards her. She reflects on the first time she brought him home and he spoke informally to her but after he learned noble etiquette, his manner completely changed. He also feels more distant so she wants that to change.

    Slyvia and Tev begin to walk towards the village. She holds his hand and thinks that it’s like a first date but she’s unsatisfied with this being their first date. Even though Tev doesn’t know Slyvia is thinking about that kind of thing, they do enter the place and eat some street food while perusing the place. After they’re done eating, Tev eats a crumb that was on Slyvia’s lips. Slyvia is upset by this. She tells him that’s dirty. Tev doesn’t think so. He says he used to eat food from the trash and still survived and eating the crumb off her face isn’t dirty. Sylvia is struck by Tev’s confession about eating food from the trash. She realizes that she’s never thought about how he survived before she found it. She almost wants to cry. She tells Tev that from now on, she only wants him to eat good, delicious and healthy foods. Tev promises that he won’t do that kind of stuff anymore and will do as she says.

    Tev suddenly pulls Slyvia into a narrow passageway to hide. The two are stuck close together but Tev focuses on the two men who had tried to approach them. He tells Slyvia to stay put and he’ll go out. It doesn’t take long for Slyvia to hear a small commotion. Tev then calls to Slyvia to come out. When she does, Tev has three men on their knees. Slyvia asks them why were they trying to catch them. The men try to pretend they don’t know what she’s talking about. In a nutshell, Tev subdues them and Slyvia is able to find out that they wanted to coerce them into going to a mine to work. It’s then that Slyvia realizes that most of the people in the village are women, children and old men. Slyvia asks them why did they try to pursue her seeing that she’s a woman. One of them admit their intention to sell her in the slave market. Tev punches that guy with one blow and he falls unconscious. Sylvia asks the third guy who’s awake to take them to the mine.

    Sylvia received this estate from the crown prince but there was a previous lord. She wonders if it’s that lord who authorized the mining of the mana stones. Still, she’s the new lord so all mining should be authorized by her. The small group arrives at the mine just in time to see the supervisor whipping an man who’s humbly asking him when they’ll be able to go home to their families. Some of the people are even farmers and not miners but they were forced to do labor in the mines. Sylvia sees the supervisor whipping the man and she basically incapacitates him. She asks him questions and learns that he doesn’t know who he reports to and those in charge will visit the mine again in two days. Sylvia gets spirit king to take the supervisor to the Atlante estate and request the butler to imprison him in the dungeons there. She also asks him to bring a bag of gold that she has in her room. When the spirit king returns with the money, Slyvia gives out the money to the villagers who were forced to work in the mines. That’s their payment because the people who enslaved them also weren’t paying them for labor.

    Slyvia returns to the Atlante estate with Tev. After she encourages him to go rest, she sneaks out again and goes to the information guild. She asks the guild owner for information on her estate particularly involving shady stuff. The guild owner had already prepared the information for her after hearing that she was rewarded with the land. He tells her that she took on a headache. Sylvia pays him for the information and when she’s about to leave, he asks her why did she give up the highest female position (empress) in the land for a rural estate and this trouble. Sylvia basically tells him that what she has is far more precious than that position. After she leaves, the guild owner does think that where ever she is, things will be interesting.

    Armed with her information and further investigative work, Sylvia heads to her estate with knights and personnel that the duke sends to her. Meanwhile, the two administrators actually think they are safe and the new owner is a young girl who’s naive. Now they can continue their criminal activities to enrich themselves. They soon hear a knock and an order to come out. When they go down, they see Slyvia and knights. Sylvia looks cold and completely different to the person they met when she visited. What follows is Sylvia’s accusations with evidence that the senior administrator couldn’t refute. He soon gets down on his knees to falsely beg while plotting his escape inside. He thinks that Sylvia is a young woman and women are compassionate. Unfortunately for him, Sylvia is quite unmoved by his pleas. The conclusion of this confrontation is that both administrators will be tried for their crimes.

    Sylvia goes back to home but enters the main building instead to see the duke. She wants to know why he didn’t inform her that the administrators were corrupt even when he knew it after looking at the books and observing what’s happening on the estate. The duke has the mentality that a kid has to make mistakes and learn from their mistakes in order to grow up. Sylvia thinks this man must be one of those fathers who are like a lion that drops its cub from a cliff. lol Sylvia starts to talk about the past and how she waited for him to come see her after he punished her but he never came even once. She tells him that she never thought of blaming anyone else for her behavior back then but if she had to blame anyone else, it would be him. The duke is shaken by this. Sylvia says some other stuff and the duke is quiet. He then asks Sylvia to give him some time to reflect on what she said.

    Sylvia goes to her room. She soon finds out that she received an invitation to the crown prince’s birthday ball. It’s an exciting event for all the young eligible ladies. Sylvia doesn’t think it has much to do with her so she doesn’t go all out like the other girls. Irene, for instance, is dressed up beautifully on the night of the ball. Sylvia is dressed beautifully as well but not to the extent of the other girls who want to stand out. The brothers come to escort the sisters but Daniel, who wants to escort Sylvia, is turned down. Sylvia tells him that she already has a partner. Daniel complains and follows her down the stairs only to find Tev waiting. Sylvia asks Tev how does she look and he finds her beautiful. As Daniel watches them, he feels foolish because he spent a lot of time blocking the crown prince when the thief was actually closer than he thought.

    The siblings and Tev arrive at the ball. Everyone is surprised that Tev is with them. They even soon start to gossip about Tev who’s with Sylvia. Sylvia whispers to Tev so he won’t bother with the audible gossip but he seems to be fine. The ball soon begins after the crown prince comes in. The first dance starts and Tev asks Sylvia to dance. It’s something that he’s dreamed of but never thought would happen. Sylvia is moved that he thought of dancing with her like an unattainable dream. She’s surprised that he can dance skillfully and he told her that the knight commander taught him to dance. The two enjoy dancing together so much that they dance three consecutive musical pieces which breaks ballroom etiquette. This gets people chatting because it sort of declares that Sylvia and Tev are a couple. Sylvia thinks it’s a good thing though.

    Tev, on the other hand, can’t believe they’re a couple. He used to be the one who would hear of what transpired in the ballroom while waiting outside. He would listen in silence as he heard others talk about Sylvia in the ballroom. Then at the victory party for the Kingdom of Plato defeat, he saw with his own eyes Sylvia dancing with the crown prince. It was more difficult to see it for himself than hearing about it. By then he had already endured his feelings for a long time and tried to keep them hidden. He was also preparing himself to protect her even when she had someone else standing next to her. However, everything changed that night when Slyvia kissed him. Even now he still thinks it’s a dream. He says this to Sylvia and she assures him that it isn’t a dream.

    After their three dances, Tev is sought out by the top knight in the capital. Sylvia encourages him to talk comfortably with the man while she goes to eat. She wants Tev to make good connections in his career and he seems to enjoy talking with the older knight. Sylvia is surrounded by gossip as she comfortably eats. The opponent is this girl whom Slyvia supposedly had an unfriendly relationship at the academy. The knight noble lady who appeared at the hunt early in the manhwa joins Sylvia and berates the noble girls for their malicious slander and shamed them into leaving. She then realizes that Sylvia is quite unaffected by the gossip. The two ladies chat and Sylvia finds out that the woman wanted to scout out Tev for their estate knights. However, she found out that the knight belonged to the Atlante family and now she knows that he’s even Sylvia’s escort and partner. Sylvia doesn’t deny it. The ladies chat some more and the lady suggests to Sylvia that she go outside to enjoy the fresh air since she seems a little tired.

    Sylvia goes outside to enjoy the fresh air. She soon gets lost in the garden design. She overhears voices and realizes that affairs are said to take place in the gardens of ballrooms. She makes to head move away but realizes that the voices are those of this noble lady she knows and the crown prince. The girl is propositioning the prince by listing what her family can do for him. Sylvia thinks the prince sounds cold and unwavering to the girl. The girl then says something about another woman and the prince gets colder. (I think she probably refers to Sylvia but not in name) Sylvia thinks the girl’s pride will deter her here but she still keeps pleading. The prince eventually hears that someone else is there. Sylvia has no choice but to reveal herself. He ends his conversation with the other girl and she walks pass Sylvia.

    The crown prince tells Sylvia that he’ll escort her back since he knows she’s lost. He makes sure to walk a little distance from her. They exchange inquiries about how each other has been doing until they arrive near the edge of the garden. He tells Sylvia to go ahead first to prevent gossip. Sylvia says goodbye and leaves. She meets Tev at the door. He was looking for her but couldn’t find her. She tells him she went outside for fresh air. He says she should have come to get him but Slyvia tells him she wanted him to enjoy his chat with the knight master. She asks Tev if he enjoyed his conversation and it’s clear that he did. The two go back to dance and enjoy themselves until they get tired. They decide to leave the ball and head home.

    Outside her room, Sylvia finds the butler. He came to get her because the duke is ready to talk. When she meets her father in his office. He apologizes for hurting her. He says he’s sorry. She doesn’t really accept his apology. However, that night, she dreams. She sees her earth mother making a contract with the devil so that Sylvia could be reborn into a rich family. Then she sees the duchess making a contract with the devil to save her as a baby. She realizes that both of her moms loved her so much that they sacrificed their souls for her. When she wakes in the morning, she goes to visit the duchess whose health is on the fragile side. She tells her mother for the first time that she loves her. Her mother is surprised and tells her that she loves her very much. It’s after this that Sylvia goes to her father and tells him that they should focus on the future instead of the past. So, they’ll work on their relationship.

    Sylvia then goes to see Daniel. She wants to make a contract with Daniel to supply the magic tower with mana stones and that other stuff that she used to make to sell to the shop owner. Daniel is at first reluctant until Sylvia shows him the latter product. He’s impressed and they soon hammer out a contract. Sylvia is doing this because she’s finally decided to develop her estate rather than leaving it as it is with an administrator to manage it. Rather, she feels a strong sense of responsibility towards the villagers she met. She wants to develop a city that is the best in the country. To do that, she’ll need talent and money. She knows that no matter how they crack down on crime, the dark alleys will spring up again. Therefore, she makes a contract with the guild owner to manage the underworld. She’ll also go to the academy to scout talent. She needs to set up mining and distribution of the mana stones and other products. Therefore, she’ll need more people to participate in this project.

    Sylvia, Irene, their maids, Tev and another escort visit the academy that the sisters used to attend. It just so happens that a festival is occurring at the time. Irene is excited so Sylvia tells her that she can go look around while she, her maid and Tev visit the professor. Sylvia is primarily there to receive several recommendations from one of her professors. She reviews the recommendations and the professor did an excellent job of summarizing each candidate’s strengths, weaknesses and abilities. These are the people she intends to hire to develop her territory.

    After leaving the professor, the sisters and the others peruse the various stalls at the festival. They visit the magic booth where they’re given drink potions. Almost immediately, Irene and her maid start to fly. They can’t get down either and have a difficult time controlling their direction. Sylvia’s maid is spitting out flowers every time she tries to talk. I forgot what happened to the other knight escort but Sylvia and Tev, who drank the same potions, are stuck together with intertwined fingers. They go to complain to the magic booth students but the students don’t budge. They tell Sylvia that it will eventually wear off soon.

    Eventually the potions do wear off and the group runs into three students whom the sister used to socialize with in a school club. The friends chat and catch up. They soon come upon a scene of a father physically abusing his daughter. Sylvia knows the girl. It’s the same girl who she saw at the prince’s birthday party who begged him to consider marriage with her. Sylvia overheard the conversation in the garden. Now she overhears the conversation between the father and daughter. Sylvia knows the girl from the academy as well. Apparently they don’t get along because the girl has always been hostile to her.

    The father is berating the girl because she couldn’t land the crown prince. Basically, he wants to hit her because she failed. Sylvia summons spirit king to blow the father away after witnessing him abusing the girl. The spirit king is more than happy to do it. Sylvia separates from her friends and approaches the girl who is crying on the ground. She tells the girl that she’s worth more than the value of trying to get a man who doesn’t like her. She explains that with her talent and intelligence, she can be free to live her life in an ambitious way. She takes one of the recommendations that the professor gave her and handed it to the girl. She advises her to read what the professor wrote about her (the girl). On it, Sylvia already read that the girl is intelligent but the professor puts that her personality is bad. If she can correct this flaw, she can seriously grow and contribute to society as a professional.

    The girl is still hostile to Sylvia but Sylvia doesn’t mind. She doesn’t plan on hiring her anyway but she thinks the girl’s behavior resembles her past. She wanted the girl to open her eyes and see her potential instead of being bogged down by her father’s demand that she seduce a guy. She thinks the girl can do much more with her life and she’ll feel rewarded and fulfilling not to prioritize other people’s unwanted demands of her.

    One of Sylvia’s friend, Kian, sees them off but before that, he indirectly complains that Sylvia must think he’s not good enough since she didn’t invite him to work for her. Contrarily, Sylvia just didn’t ask because he’s intelligent and has a lot of potential. Her territory is quite rural and she thought he would want to explore his prospects in the capital instead. In the end, Sylvia gives in and welcomes him to work for her after he graduates. She’ll also give him the perk knowledge of why she has so much mana so that he can research the phenomenon.

    After the group returns to the Atlante estate, Irene and the others say they had fun. They all head inside except Tev and Sylvia. Tev is displeased because Sylvia called Kian her person. Sylvia finds him cute. She tells him that the others may be her people but he’s the only one she does this with. She kisses him.

    A few years later, Sylvia’s territory is now thriving. It’s a city with many shapes, cafes, restaurants, boutiques, etc. She’s on an outing with spirit king whose passion is eating. Sylvia takes him several places and their last stop is a franchise cafe that she established throughout the country under the Atlante name. While she’s sitting drinking tea with spirit king, she thinks about reincarnation. She asks Spirit King if he knew she was his original contractor all along from the first time he met her again. He admits he knew it was her but she couldn’t remember so he didn’t say anything.

    It turns out that after she died centuries ago, he became lonely. Only after her death he realized how much her companionship meant. She was his best friend who taught him about the love of human foods. So, he went back to living a monotonous life without her until centuries later they met again.

    After this, Sylvia is home and she and Tev are together. She asks him if he thinks he would love her in the next life. He answers with great resolution that he will. She sarcastically thinks that in her past life he hated her because she caused trouble for the crown prince and he was the crown prince’s aide. Nevertheless, Tev keeps insisting that he will love her again. Sylvia accepts this and tells him that he must continue to be with her in this life and love her in the next life. They then kiss and the narrative talk about eternal fleeting moment.

    The epilogue ends with maids talking about Sylvia’s success and that of the other Atlante children. The duke listens to them chatter and thinks of his children.
    The end

    I actually found this spoiler provided previously surprising. I was expecting to hear development between them but then I thought it would be very weird considering he was pursuing MC and even proposed to her. He said he had no interest in her sister so then the sister would be getting the short end of the stick. I also don’t get the impression that there was much interaction between her and the crown prince. MC also said that the crown prince of this timeline is different to the one that was in a relationship with Irene. I guess situation changed things. It’s just like MC said Tev despised her in a prior timeline because she interfered with the crown prince and Irene. However, Tev fell in love with her in this timeline most likely because MC changed and she also had a huge impact on his life. Irene also doesn’t seem to have feelings for the crown prince and since her family wasn’t keen on MC marrying the crown prince, I imagine they’ll feel the same way with Irene.

    All the maids said about Irene is that she’s a great lady just like Sylvia. They said she gathered the young nobles from influential families to do volunteer work. Then they start to talk of Sylvia’s notoriety and how much she’s changed to the point that now she’s praised and respected outside. Now anyone who mentions Sylvia’s past is considered a jealous person. They then talk about Daniel, Cedric and Irene. They talk about how the children of Atlante may change the empire by their hard work. So, there’s no mention of Irene getting married.

    Moreover, as I mentioned before, this story is definitely not romantic. I would say it’s more about the Atlante family relationships whether it be the siblings, the parents and a mix of both. I don’t know about the academy time since I didn’t get that book but it sounds like there were mainly friendships at the academy and of course the enemies of the sisters. I get the impression the author likes a woman’s independence and pushed that for both Irene and MC.

    I’d like to know how MC deals with the fanatics and the demon king situation does she still owe him? People mention the empress as the villain but isn’t it really the demon king?

    They DO NOT end up together. The novel doesn’t say who he ends up with but it’s not any of the sisters. Eileen barely interacted with the crown prince.
    1. He sends anonymous letters to her about his subjugation trip in the north.
    2. He sends her an anonymous gift for winning a competition in the academy
    3. He shows up “out of the blue” to rescue MC when the empress sent imperial knights to bring back a black magician that MC caught as well as MC to the palace. She’s trying to kill MC.
    4. He shows up uninvited at the academy to talk to MC and tries to tell her he likes her but this conversation happens in Tev’s hospital room and Tev interrupts the guy’s advances on MC.
    5. Sylvia’s dad sends her to the north with Sir Joseph and the other knights. CP hears this and as usual, shows up uninvited to attempt to woo MC. He stays at the castle and tries to bother Sylvia whenever he cans. He also witnesses how MC makes sure that every time Tev comes back from subjugation, he’s uninjured. Tev also privately reports to MC his findings on any movement of the black magicians.
    6. MC accompanies her knights on subjugation and a black wizard shows up again and uses the same magic on MC that another black magician used to separate MC and Tev in a field exploration that they went on. (Same night empress sent imperial knights back in the capital to kill MC when CP showed up out of the blue) This time, Tev refuses to let MC separate from him who is her escort knight. The CP decides he’s coming to and holds on to MC’s hand.
    7. The three are stuck in a hole underground. There’s a moment when Tev is asleep and MC wakes up to find the CP outside their tent. He shares his sad childhood and MC comforts him by placing her hand on his.
    8. Next day MC is separated from both guys by the black magician. She’s brought inside a temple because the guy wants her to get the seed of the world tree. The seed recognizes MC and only responds to her. The seed said it has been waiting for her for a long time. She’s his owner. This is how MC escapes the black wizard and now she can summon spirit king to help her return to the castle where, unbeknownst to her, her family is waiting since she went missing including her father.
    9. Back at the castle, the dynamics now changes because MC’s entire family is there. The duke soon learns that his wife is dying so he leaves immediately for the villa and tells her children to come immediately afterwards. That’s the last time MC sees CP in the north and he wasn’t there much after the family is all there.
    10. A fake Sylvia is creating rumors in the capital so while Sylvia is at the villa with her family, including her newly awakened mom, her friends from the academy, her professor and the CP tell her she had better come back to the capital soon because of the fake Sylvia who is spreading rumors that she’s the duchess’s real child.
    11. The family finally shows up at a ball in the capital including the duchess. The fake Sylvia has the audacity to approach the family and both brothers cut her down. It seems that the fake is using fascination magic on everyone to persuade them she’s the duchess’s child. Later in the ball, Sylvia is out on the terrace to get some peace and as usual, CP shows up to try to chat with her. She’s actually waiting on Eileen to return with a drink. Fake comes out on the balcony, which is considered bad manners since the curtain was closed. Well, I suppose the CP did the same thing too. Anyway, she fascinates CP and he doesn’t realize it until he looks at Sylvia. He then snaps out of the magic and tosses the fake and asks her what did she do to him. Empress comes to the fake’s rescue because she’s under her patronage. They’re all involved in taboo magic.
    12. Next time CP sees Slyvia is at a trial. Fake tried to draw Slyvia into a plot to accuse her of attempting to kill her. Fortunately Sylvia took Daniel with her. The CP and others testified against the fake who ends up in prison and is later killed by Elam, who Daniel works for. The girl works under Elam and this is when Sylvia finds out that Elam is the enemy.
    13. CP also visits the duke’s house on political business because the duke came out strong after hearing the empress tried to kill Sylvia. That’s why he sent Sylvia to the north. Anyway, Sylvia had asked the CP to see her while there because she has something for him. He, of course, thinks she’s perhaps warming up to him now (romantically) but she really called him to give him a poison that the empress uses and information on the poison.
    14. CP had invited Sylvia to sit with him during the gladiators matches but she declines. She wants to sit close to the match because Tev will be participating and she wants to cheer him on. In fact, she attended most of his matches every day once the numbers dwindled down. Therefore, CP designates a seat for her near the front and out guards there. Sylvia tries to protest this but then the fight begins and her attention is drawn there.
    15. Empress betrays everyone by allowing black magicians and monsters to enter the imperial palace which is normally protected by a magic defense barrier. As soon as Tev wins and gives Slyvia the flowers and laurel, all hell breaks loose. CP is forced to take control of the situation and many monsters rush in. He almost gets injured by a monster but Slyvia saves him and Tev joins in helping to fight against the monsters.
    16. After the conclusion of the battle, the empress is imprisoned. They find out that the second prince wasn’t really human and that the empress had used black magic on the emperor. Sylvia had already found out about Elam as the enemy and now they found out he left for the kingdom of Pluto. The same kingdom where Stella is the princess. MC and her family’s army will go to war with Pluto. Before she leaves, CP tells her he has something to say when she returns.
    17. MC and all her family knights return victorious. MC is awarded with the title of Count and her own territory. At the victory ball, all the girls are anxious about who the CP will dance with. He comes and stands in front of MC and asks her for a dance. She deliberates for a while because she doesn’t want to dance with him especially since it will create rumors. Yet, she cannot embarrass the CP. Therefore, she accepts and tells herself that it will be the last time. CP also seems to realize that it will be the last time and smiles bitterly.
    18. Later, MC is on the terrace by herself. CP shows up and asks her to remain by his side forever. Sylvia makes to answer and he tells her to think about it for a time. Sylvia refuses to do that. She wants to draw a firm line. She tells him she’s sorry. She does feel sorry for him and burdened by rejecting him but one of the things Sylvia already decided is that she will no longer care what others say about her and how she lives her life. From the MTL, it also sounds as though she doesn’t want to live in that type of world (ballrooms and palaces) after everything she already went through. There’s also the fact that somewhere along the line, Tev entered her heart.
    Moving on, I noticed that the manhwa adaptation seems to be attempting to add more emotion to the story. I’m glad because it’s no joke when I say, in my opinion, the novel is very dry. For example, I like in the manhwa, Sylvia hugged Stella after she heard all that Stella endured. That never happened in the novel. MC was pretty business like about it in the novel. The manhwa made that scene more moving and hopefully bring to life the friendships between Sylvia, Stella, Kian, Theo, and Eileen. They’ll join a book club so they will grow better acquainted. The manhwa is also showing more emotion with Sylvia and Tev, which is more subdued in the novel until after Sylvia’s mother awaken from her coma. Sylvia treats her mother distant still so I hope the manhwa show more emotional depth with this storyline.

    I quit reading manhwa because male characters looks too girly for my taste - especially male lead. But it looks like novel main focus is family relationship and female lead development.

    ikr it just doesn't make sense when some people thought they will end up together. Maybe some people had the impormation mix since its true they did end up together in the first timeline and maybe some assume that it will happen in the current one.

    The FAT TO FIT TROPE in this kind of fantasy genre.... PURE BODYSHAMING

    The uglyness/fatness of an overweight MC is always portrayed as a huge flaw/obstacle that she has to overcome for the sake of becoming a dignified respectful beautiful likabllovable and worthy serious slim lady of anyone existing in the shallow aristocratic novel world...

    • The Struggle of Being Reincarnated as the Marquess's Daughter: I'll Deal with What’s Coming to Me!
    • I'll Save This Damn Family!
    • The Lady Law's of Survival
    • I Reincarnated as a White Pig Noble’s Daughter from a Shoujo Manga
    • Observation Record of a Self-proclaimed Villainess’ Fiance (Still Like Story, but Bertia didn't need to become thin for Prince Cecil)

    That's not a good message at all.

    We need more positive stories about body neutrality.
    A very rare positive example: Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs
    In this 2019 Korean Fantasy Animation Movie our MC a chubby princess is very confident and content with herself.
    It is the superficial arrogant cursed Hero Prince who has to learn his lesson and becomes good enough for her!

    So this is another case of stupid ass sister who is also the caused of the problem, but is forgiven since she's ignorant, spoiled and she has always been like that so nothing bad happens to her? Shit ass.
