Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I entered my favorite romance-fantasy novel, which I have read many times.

Thanks to the body of a wealthy commoner, I bought the status of a fallen aristocrat, attended a noble family’s gathering and observed the romance of the characters in the original novel.

I wanted to return to the real world after witnessing the ending.

But somehow, even after the ending, I was not freed from the body I possessed and remained living in the original novel.

As a result, I acquired the stories behind the scenes that I refused to comprehend.

My favorite sub male lead, Caelus, has died.

Living impoverished in the original work without him, I eventually fell ill and died.

Now, I wanted to return to reality.

However, the irony of fate has returned me to the end of the novel overnight. This is definitely… to save my beloved, right?

I enjoyed the story as someone who loves isekais with strong female leads and a good romance. I discovered the novel after I read the manhwa (which can be read up to episode 35 at the time of this review - equivalent to chapter 9 in the novel). There is a subtlety to the romance growth and a happy ending -... more>>
Spoiler

*SPOILER ALERT* ML is first despondent and super depressed but the FL declares that she loves him and will exact revenge on his behalf while giving him space and encouragement. As she begins her revenge, she communicates her wins which helps him to get out of his depression. He begins to appreciate FL's efforts to exact karma and attain apologies from his first love and his best friend because they fell in love and abandoned him after he killed someone to protect his first love. ML's appreciation grows into respect as FL helps to manage his life and grow their power as nobility while he recovers from depression. I think ML realizes he likes her when he overhears a private conversation the FL has when she is asked if she truly loves the ML and she says yes with no hesitation and has a list of reasons ready. ML begins to let go of his first love as FL shows her competence while also exposing the first love's incompetence as a noble and also how FL is a symbol of hope for the future. FL first loves him as a character from a story and then has to overcome that idea that it is all fiction and that she was worthy to be with him.

Pros: ML and FL are consistent in their motives and honest and as a reader, I enjoyed that the ML and FL communicated openly, honestly and quickly. I had little to no frustration with miscommunication. Entertaining and pleasant smooth journey for main leads beginning to end.

Cons: FL never tells anyone that she's from another world even though she is bothered by it. The reason she ended up in an isekai is also not explained. There is also a lack of development of side characters who I would've enjoyed reading side stories about like the tailor, the butler, the salon lady and the society lady as well as no substantial mention of the impact the FL made by introducing concepts like medical clinics, specialized school for doctors, soap for all or even presentation strategies for documentation and diagrams. There was also a smut scene where the ML forced himself on the FL and was dismissive of her initial pain so I had to skip the scene.

Another reviewer mentioned that the ML stops the FL from completing her revenge by declaring he was against the abdication but if you read carefully, he does it because his best friend, the crown prince, begs him in order to maintain peace and power of the monarchy and it is said that ML truly cares for his country. *SPOILER END*

[collapse]
All in all, the story was like taking a scenic train ride. The FL was clever and the author and translator did well to convey her inner thoughts. It was a pretty smooth ride and I think ultimately I feel like the message was that the reality is you have to go with the flow and not everything will work out as expected and may not be satisfying at the end which helps resolves some of my feelings noted in the spoilers. Nice journey and good translation! <<less

To me, the FL doesn’t get back the love she gave to the ml. I just feel like the ML just... ruined her efforts. I don’t think be appreciates it all if he just ruins all of her efforts like that, it’s just wrong. ML also just doesn’t give off the feeling that the FL has for him, it feels like if she wasn’t around and it was another person, it’d still be the same, it’s as if he’ll be fine without her even though that’s not supposed to be... more>> the case.

Their relationship to me is just off. I don’t get the “they’re in love!” reaction just like all the other good novels I’ve read. Idk, it’s probably just me because I’ve read too many novels, but I’ll rate this a 3 for Hestia’s efforts. Probably a 3 1/2 for Kelus, just cause depression isn’t easy to handle. <<less

FL lead is very straightforward and she does and tries everything to save her favourite and bounce back which she did and it’s kinda realistic how the ML took time to get over and move forward and how much he appreciate FL for coming in his life. He felt that what happened to him before was blessing in disguise.

I liked the novel, but I find the translation hard to read. It is also not well written, and it lacks descriptions, that is why I'm dropping a star. I'm not disappointed by the end and Kaelus' choice. I liked Hestia's realisation after this. I appreciate the fact that Kael's depression was not glossed over. It is a real problem that took time to heal.

Not for me. If you’re someone who is looking for smut and is into fast paced story style then this is NOT for you. Storyline seems good, translation is decent, but it is too slow for my taste. Plus reading other comments talking about anticlimactic ending I decided to drop the novel at chapter 12.

I really love the manhwa so I jumped in and read the novel. It was so wholesome. It's angsty, comedic input is fine, tickled pink you, makes you blush, and cherish their relationship. For all the r18 scenes are lost in translation. It became kinda awkward to read. Their journey of loving is adorable. It was short in the end. It's 60 chpaters afterall. The bish wasn't mentioned at all in the end too. The author highlighted mostly the journer of moving on and guidance for new love. Like highlighting... more>> the ML's moving on and MC's effort of helping him. It took a while or so long btw. She slightly highlighted the journey of the "gained" love. Which doesn't make any sense to me. The time skips so fast when they gained love and when they became real couple. BUT! It was so looong for them to be innit despite being married to each other since day 1, thats all on my perspective (of course) because that's what the author emphasized. Coz it feels like that bish and basturd was everywhere all the time. -_- I aint like readin those parts. I wish she focused too on them being a real couple. <<less

Wow, we got a valuable lesson here. Marriage was just a beginning and solely relied on love might not enough to sustain it. That's what happened to Helios and Diana. They passionately in love in the beginning and persistently got together despite many objections. Helios didn't even hesitate to hurt his best friend, Kaleus, for her. They thought they would live happily ever after but the reality after their marriage slapped them hard.

... more>>
Spoiler

Diana was generally lovely and kind (at least in front of Helios and Kaelus) but she was a terrible crown princess. She didn't listen to any advice that was contrary to her belief and even forced others to have the same belief as her. Because of that, she received a backlash from the aristocrats who supported the kingdom.

And there's also her past conflict with Kaelus which became thorn in her relationship with Helios. In addition, Hestia came to wreck Helios and Diana's relationship in order to get revenge for Kaelus's past death.

[collapse]

What we needed to have a successful marriage might not a passionate love but a supportive partner with enough affection like Hestia and Kaleus. Initially, Kaleus didn't love Hestia but Hestia willingly stayed by his side during his fragile state and even supported his job. Love came naturally because Hestia really worth it.

Overall, I really love this story. I love Hestia's unconditional love and I also love how Kaleus didn't instantly fall on love with her during his most vurnerable time.

If I have any dissatisfaction, maybe because:

Diana's vague ending. I really want to know her life after leaving the palace but she wasn't mentioned in the side stories.

Beautifully written story! I'd love to give this story a rate of 5 stars, but I couldn't because of the ending. Diana failed to realized her mistakes and still blames Hestia about everything that has happened to her. Oh boy, reading her lines and thoughts made my blood boil. She's narcissistic and thinks that because she's a saint, and the crown princess, people will bend to her demands. She thinks her opinion is right. She's so narrow-minded. For me she doesn't deserve to be the crown princess because she can't... more>> even listen to other people 🙄. Then she proceeds on seducing Kael and plans on getting him back, cause she has this delusion that Kael still has feelings for her (thank God Kael moved on and was already in love with Hestia) She's truly a shameless woman. If only she repented a little but no.

I don't like the crown prince either, even though he realized his mistakes, his feeling for Hestia still lingers, and has some thoughts of coveting his wife's friend. Like cmon dude, u f*ck*d up big time and ruined your friendship because of a woman, then drove that said friend into death. As if that wasn't enough, he always uses his friend's loyalty to the empire to get what he wants. He made me uncomfortable seriously.

Overall, the romance between Hestia and Kael was well written. It doesn't feel forced at all. I love how the FL was a headstrong woman and was focus more on revenge for Kael lol.

Kudos to the translation team! Thank you for translating this story *bow* <<less

First of all, I really really like how each chapter in this novel is super long that it got me completely immersed on it. The novel was really well written and well translated, the plot is interesting and refreshing. My heart throbs and cries while reading it too :")

I like how the FL has unconditional love for the ML. She's the T kinda person, being realistic and thing.

Really, its a beautiful story, I really like it. Super recommended!

FL is a very courageous person, and realistic, she's just a normal woman.

The emperor is a good ruler and a good father. (Quite rare)

Ml, I don't know, I just like him. (Although he's always cry compared to other ml, I like that about him, because it shows how he is a normal human being, he is not perfect)

... more>> Helios is a good friend in a sense that he know his fault, and there's no particular problematic characteristic about him.

Diana, there's no denying that her personality is a charm on its own for those who were suffocated with this world, but she's not flexible, too rigid. If she's flexible enough along with her original personality, she will be a good fl.

Lastly, please bear with the translation, it's quite confusing.

Also... For those searching for the smut scene... It's at the last part of the novel because it is a slow romance.. good luck.

Just my opinion. <<less

It's a revenge. She became the villainess who sacrificed everyone to save her love and what's wrong with that? I loved it completely.

Diana at the end didn't learn that the world is not only black and white. There're many shades of gray and you can make everyone to thinks and act as you do.

Kael first love was fire but with Hestia was what he need.

Helios... meh~~

Hestia, queen

I like the realness of being with someone who didn't really got over his first love. It is frustrating but it's what FL chose at the end of the day. It's a slow burn too so not much romance from the start.

All in all, I liked it. Mainly because is different. I see it as an exploration of different possibilities. I've read some novels where the man who was rejected by his one true one sided love, OGfl, moved on pretty easily to the transmigrated FL and honestly? This always... more>> rubbed me the wrong way. Like he could switch easily and even if our FL left, any other girl could have him next. It's too mundane for a romance. This one explores a "what if our FL doesn't have a relationship buff?" And for that alone it marks it self as special. <<less

The fluff and, *cough* other stuff was done well, the politics and plot was also done well. This is a GEM to find, and while I was hesitant to try it, im glad I did

Read this, guys. You won't regret it.

The plot is so different from what I usually read. I think this is the only one I've encountered with such uniqueness. The FL was a cunning genius, someone you want on your side and don't want to have as an enemy. Her single-mindedness and extreme willingness to live solely for one person are jarring, not gonna lie. But I understand her reasons why. She really has no one else to live for in the novel, she lacks the courage to end it all,... more>> so she puts all her effort into one person she cares about.

Some are complaining about why she doesn't care about the other characters, but isn't that normal when reading any novel? You only care for the character you love, and if you expect this lady to accept the novel as her reality so easily, then you're the dumb one.

The novel's length is also satisfying. They're not long, but just enough to fit all the stories without leaving loose ends.

I'm satisfied with the ending. People wanting Kael to accept 100% of what Hess planned is absurd. This world is not just about Hess' revenge. How can a Duke blindly follow what his wife wants? If he did, how is he any different from the blinded Heli?

The only thing lacking in the novel is the background story for Hess. We don't know who she was before she transmigrated, and we also don't know who she was before the possession. A little bit of background would help understand Hess more.

In terms of translation, I'd rate it 4 out of 5. There are some confusing parts here and there, but overall, a good job. Thank you, translators-nim! <<less

Was okay. But I felt MC just let time heal her hangups related to her being isekai-ed and for a insightful ML when it came to her rebirth, Kael was either clueless or quiet regarding how suspicious Hestia was if she was only reborn (I mean if she didn’t have foresight then how did he explain how she knew everything about his history with Diana? Some things even a stalker couldn’t know). It felt a bit incomplete

Don't let the short number of chapters fool you, this story is actually surprising long (not in a bad way) and pretty well flushed out.

It's fast paced with a sharp MC who is determined and driven towards her goals (she can be s*upid with emotions and herself tho). Most may find the ending a little anticlimactic however, I found it pretty fitting for the overall theme that this story goes for.

So, in all cases this was a pretty fun read and I recommend it (one less star coz MC is... more>> sometimes very very s*upid with her personal thoughts, emotions and

I disagree with the review about the ending not being satisfying- in fact I think the end was the best part- but “the end” is the end of the epilogue. Before that it’s not over and yes would be unsatisfying. The epilogue has like a ton of the plot!

Romance was a bit meh. It’s good at the end and nonexistent in 80% of the novel. It goes from 0 to 100 in like 2 episodes. I think Keal has feelings for a lot longer than we see. I wish we... more>> got more of his point of view.

The novel before the end I thought about dropping a few times. Not really drama, no real urgency, FL’s reasons didn’t really resonate or feel all that important.

FL is obsessed with ML. We see this trope where ML’s are obsessed with FL’s quite often, where they would like to defend them and treat them like glass- this is where that gender norm is reversed. FL would cherish a napkin if ML gave it to her. She also has no sense of self worth. She isn’t a wallflower, she is actually a very strong character, smart- but she just views ML like one would a celebrity, or world leader. Someone to worship, someone precious and someone 1000 times out of their league. But also ML needs a shield and she wants to be that shield, she would happily take a bullet for him.

The parts that were most awkward was the FL’s feelings that this is a novel and the weird obsession with thinking of herself as a villain when she was in fact mostly doing really good things. These parts just didn’t flow well.

this is R19. It only comes up in like 2 chapters and then suddenly bam in your face. Kinda weird and as much as I like such things a bit awkward. <<less

This has been one of my favourite novels and to date, it remains one of the most unique.

I'll say first that translator quality can be better, but it is good enough to convey the beauty of the original script.

I won't spoil anything, since the summary is pretty clear and the journey is short. What I will say is that this is a very clear, unwavering story about one woman's determination to make something she perceives as a wrong, right.

It's also a story about what really is right and wrong, whether... more>> something can be an absolute evil and how true a person can or should remain to their beliefs. I'm a very morally grey person myself so I relate and agree with Hestia that much more. And she's not even that grey - she wants to save a life and get an apology (cough revenge cough) for said life's loss during the 1st turn.

What's even more amazing is that the writer doesn't give us the black/white ending we want, but the grey-shaded ending that we need. There's no clear-cut loss. There are wins but not an ultimate win. We eat, as Koreans say, as much sweet potatoes as we drink cider.

I know the manga's out already but I've always found that the novels give more context. It's not a long read, give it a go. <<less
