    Description:

    I ignored the word of caution…

    And read the high-level, impoverished novel.

    But what the hell is up with this crazy author that keeps on harassing the FL!

    So I left a review.

    I can’t keep reading it because it’s too frustrating—

    But then suddenly I possessed the FL, Selina?!

    “Pe-people hit me, look at me, I hate it.”

    She was stuttering because she was scared.

    “It’s your job to satisfy me, Selina. A girl who doesn’t know the her place is not entertaining.”

    There were scenes of endless harassment by the tr*shy men.

    The moment that thought passed through my head like a flash, I decided.

    Let’s avoid the male lead, and kick out the villain!

    Bye, everyone! I threw away my destiny and left in search of happiness.

    —————
    ※ Sorry for the formatting guys, this is my first time starting a thread

    Intro to FL
    FL was transmigrated into the body of the unfortunate FL of a 19+ story. In the original story she is abused by step family, cannot speak without stuttering and cursed to a fate of the most trash, red flag ML. Current FL is quite cunning and plans on never getting entangled with the POS.
    She doesn’t know that much because she skimmed the story.
    ※ The original is a frustrating story with a lot of sweet potatoes

    Sidekicks:
    Maid Penny. Not the brightest but very loyal.
    Priest who FL makes a deal with, a cute boi with silver hair

    General points from intro section of story
    Family
    Her living relative is her uncle, a man whose entire existence is “fairness” which is not real fairness as he is just problem avoidant. A man who ignores Selina’s suffering and abuse, pretending her stepfamily loves her. Was eventually poisoned to death in original. Was in love with FL’s mother.

    Stepfamily includes…
    1. Abusive stepmother who keeps trying to come after FL’s uncle after her father died for the noble title. Has an influential birth family.
    2. Stepsister Sharon who really hates Selina. Main villain of original. Orchestrated ogSelina’s kidnapping and torture. Treated like a tool by her mother who favours Adrian
    3. Stepbrother Adrian who is supposed to be sweet and loves Selina romantically in the original, even dying for her. Appears a bit sinister currently.

    Romance (as per my understanding of mtl Naver Blogs)
    - Not actually a harem story, there is ONE ML. (I feel robbed LOL)
    - The Male Lead is the man FL treats in the monastery, a war prisoner who was part of the royalty of a fallen nation. She meets him when she runs off to find the man her stepsister Sharon would use to harm the original Selina. She doesn’t initial meet him knowing he was the one, but soon figures it out.

    Plot Twist (Without context)
    Stepsister Shannon makes a comeback for the good side eventually.
    Adrian is well liked by reviewers.
    Stepmother isn’t booted from the house until around chapter 140
    Abuse-ignorer, neglectful uncle of the year is her real dad?!

    This is by the author of Beatrice

    The art is so pretty and I like the FL, she’s actually smart… although I haven’t finished it yet. Also I hope this one is adapted into manhwa

    Her harem = Duke, priest, and ML.
    Her choice was quite clear. She slept with the ML when he went back to his country as Archduke. The duke was crazy about her and kidnapped the fl too.

    But, is the ending a reverse harem, or just her with ML?

    The rest of the men never had any chances with her. ML was only her cup of tea. FL rejected his proposal but FL continued snu snu with ML.

    I hope this was not dropped...
    Does anyone know if there will be any new uploads from the translator?
    Or maybe where I could read this in Korean for free?
