Titles: The Rotten Lady Rosa Wants to Watch Over Love from the Shadows, 貴腐人ローザは陰から愛を見守りたい NU link: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-rotten-lady-rosa-wants-to-watch-over-love-from-the-shadows/ Description: The daughter of the Earl, Rosa, was known for her beauty and compassion. But in reality, she was a rotten lady who pursued her ‘moe’ by making delusions of ‘rose love’, the romance between men. Her dream was to become a nun and write down a ‘bible’, spreading the rose love throughout the continent. As the preparation of entering the priesthood, she donated to the monastery (as a bribe), strived to improve literacy (to prepare for her missionary work), and made humus for her territory (as the symbol of rottenness). One day, she met her half-brother, Bernard, a fourteen years old boy. Concluding that Bernard was the ideal ‘uke’, a talented person that only appeared once every a thousand years, Rose devoted herself to ‘Bell-tan’s Harem Plan’. However, her rotten behavior was mistaken for noble deeds. The princes, princesses, and even the foreign princes started to get involved, and she began to spread her influence all over the country…? This was the story of Rosa von Langheim, nicknamed the “Rose Angel” as the symbol of her nobility and charity, who was the most rotten lady of all.
Raw Link: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5373fw/ SPOILER: - Her father as advertised in the summary brings home a kid from a flower seller. He never paid for medicine nor a funeral. She takes him in and promises him that will be taken care of - along with proclaiming she will raise him. Dad freaks out since the look in her eye makes feel like a piece of shit. - Something about a horse shoe with meaning? She takes the time to teach her "brother" the ultimate uke. - Never suspected her brother of stealing until he cluelessly confesses. The look she gave him (Bernard/little brother) sent chills down his spine, since it was so cold. MC runs off thinking "black-hearted uke type!" - a chapter in Bernard's point of view is pretty dark. He was a slum kid who grew up on the street with an abusive alcoholic mother. His plan was to sneak in and steal whatever he could before running. He wanted to punish his sister for being a good person, having whatever she needs and never had to fight for it. His thoughts are better to steal than having it stolen. Its better to betray than be betrayed. Then watches as MC collapses by the water? He runs to her side. Update - Bernardo is still twisted and has more stuff he stole in a sack. The Knight Lutz punches him in the stomach and tells of the MC's dark past. Apparently, everyone in the household thinks that her father isolated and made sure the mother never got the care she needed. On top of that refused to feed her properly. He ups that saying that when the father came home he would summon the MC to his room at night and she would leave the next day deeply ill. To them he (MC's shitty dad) could've sexually assaulted her/raped and abused her. Which makes Bernard feel like shit finally. Realizes that the MC wanted to continue to trust people and that's why she is so generous and patient with him. Bernard runs away?
The MC's dad? HELL YES. It got to the point where he's outed for slave trafficking, and Bernard i think gets rid of him? Unsure if this means imprisonment or something else.
dunno, but don't take this story too seriously. Its kinda like the story "Muyoku no Seijo wa Okane ni Tokimeku" meets "Kiss Him Not Me"
I found out this bit. Everyone thought her father confined her and starved her. The truth? She was lost in her own delusions and didn't eat like an otaku. The bit where she was so-called brought to her father's bedroom at night? Was just her going to her dad's room after he is dead drunk and READ HIS PORNO while he was asleep. She got ill in the morning because she was suffering from lack of sleep.
This story has gone full on otome game on the MC. At the end of the first part of the story the misunderstandings continue and now 3 definitive candidates for ML are up. First is the little brother who isn't her little brother (her mother couldn't sleep with the Piggy Duke and got a kid off of someone else), the asshole Crown Prince, and the foreign dude who is a medical professional.
In the 2nd part of the story the MC meets both her biological father and uncle. They both know the truth of her fujoshi state and chats to her poor dad endlessly about who should pair with who, and has some lovely parent-child relationships moments. Her dad is rather patient with considering she chit chats about some pretty lewd content to his face.
Okay, so I spent all night MTL-ing this. MC really went through a beautification process. When she thought they accepted her being rotten, they thought she was accepting she wasn't dirty, and her past doesn't matter lmaooo. Their dynamic is hilarious. 83 chapters feels short lmao. Any certain spoilers y'all want? Here's some though: Spoiler: When she was drugged with "Aphrodisiac" Okay, so at the last chapter, she thought a lady was someone who wanted to thread the path of "roses" with her, and the lady told her to get a book from the Crown Prince's room or something? (This part fuzzy) She found something to read/imagine there and full didn't realize she was breathing in aphrodisiac, actually she was completely ignorant of the perfume bottle spreading it's scent near the window. Just in time everyone is going back and Anton (her uncle, this is what his name translates to) realises the lady probably drugged MC and said "It's a Crim you know" and probably something else since the lady misunderstood that "apparently" Rosa abuse wasn't just a made up rumour by Rosa so she would get the love of others. The others are worried cuz Rosa isn't seen anywhere and her amulet isn't reacting even if and some rose-tinted person said it's probably cuz she's the type to not help herself. Uncle wanted to push Rosa to the tomboyish princess, but when everyone arrived around the area, they hear Rosa asking for help and bang the door open and Rosa fell? To the prince embrace and start begging him to.... "Please... Please.... Hug... Embrace... Help me, your Highness.." And as everyone was worried she fainted while saying words too small to hear except for her uncle "Embrace... Bell... Tan... (AKA her brother) Radu (the doctor) deduced the drug was something to make a person lose self-restraint and true to one's desires (lmaoo, she wanted the prince and her bro to hug) The uncle cried for Rosa to wake up and speak her last words lmao, just a few more words and they'll understand. The prince was low-key happy I think but everyone wanted to deal with the lady who drugged our MC first... Uncle was like, "Do I have to deal with this by myself?"/SPOILER]
Wow crazy girl. She's at least self aware that she can't be saved from her fujoshi spirit and chose nunnery. These possible MLs should at least be aware of her being fujoshi if they even want to break the wall of a fujoshi or their relationship won't ever start.
This is like dream come true to have a family that understand the real you and you can even hype over certain topic. That one amazing father that had just met his daughter and listen to her talking about 18R stuff right on his face is a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The dad isn't much better, though it seems he has deeper reasons, they're actually often on opposing sides as... Spoiler: More about Anton the "uncle" so the uncle is actually Rosa's father. He was expelled from high society due to him pushing his agenda of Lilies. Yes, he's just as bad as Rosa. They met when she was visiting a theater and heard the word "moe" and had a full blown conversation about the moe ness of the play until she realised it's her uncle who thought she was talking about the girls in the play while she thinks he was talking about the guys in the play lol. Oh and he was shown as the only one aware of Rosa's true nature, so he's often exasperated by the people surrounding them. And here's a summary of their shenanigans Spoiler: Rosa purifying a lake So Rosa is troubled due to her heart not pounding over some thinks she used to like, she sought out Anton and he basically told he she just graduated from one rotten lake to another and they snuck to a lake that's so polluted it's rotten and he told her to think the lake as her previous container and thank it, tell it ur ready to move on to a bigger lake and Rosa did, it's hard to decipher but basically her magic was activated and she rots the pollution away making the lake clean again. Everyone was like "as expected of Rosa". This ofc only added her halo of purity lol
So this is incest? Or the mother side are actually from the "father" that readly listen to R18 stuff? Im confused now, but thanks for the info
The uncle mentions that he and his sister had the same relationship as bern and rose: ie they were legally related but not blood related. (Illegitimate child on father's side and illegitimate child on mother's side) He said even though it's biologically ok, to society it would be ok because they were from the same household. That's also the reason he started liking Yuri, cause he felt it was a love that didn't hurt anyone
