You WILL cry. This one has a big emotional wallop.

It is very well written, with an interesting take on the isekai experience. The FL does not have godlike powers of detail via plot knowledge; some things change and wind up surprising her. There's some mystery about how things work, and we figure it out alongside her, in a way that is fun and not frustrating.

The characters, especially the FL and the villain, are psychologically nuanced and complex. And it's just fun and dramatic, but in a not-t00-stressful way.

Has many scenes you'll want to read and re-read.

I enjoy being a dramatic little B, and this lets me without going overboard.

The world building is well done, and not in a 'let me write a 5 page essay on this world I designed' way.

The entire concept and plot only really works and is made possible because the FL was horrifically ab*sed and neglected in her life before getting isekaied.

She spent the majority of her youth sick and suffering, then her adulthood being overlooked and taken advantage of. Because of this, she is thrilled at any attention her grumpy husband gives her, and perfectly content to be fully ignored.

Being treated like garbage is her normal, so their treating her like garbage doesn't phase her, and this is the magic formula for getting the chemistry to work.

Plus, bonus! she at least gets good food, a healthy-ish body, and nice, fancy things to enjoy while they keep her under house arrest and surveillance yet again. So she's just having a grand old time, since the hell scape she wound up in is marginally better than her regular life.

Any normal, well-adjusted, mentally healthy woman would protest 99.9% of the garbage treatment she is required to put up with, and she doesn't even seem phased because she doesn't realize this is not a normal or good way to treat people.

There's a lack of the 'you go girl' female-becoming-empowered triumph in favor of the FL finding the happy home life she wants. So, instead of demanding a divorce, torching her POS in-laws' family reputation to the ground, and running off with the hot private secretary guy while we all cheer.... she and her husband work through everything and wind up happy together. Which is lovely, but I wanted castles burned to the ground and groveling.

While she and her husband do work and have the natural chemistry of a pair well-written to match each other, he is sex-motivated and that's a bit of a yucky mouth feel. The main reason he likes her is her s*x appeal, because she's got a seductress bod and flashy looks, and his emotions tend to be physically-based. It takes him a long time to acknowledge the rest of her stellar qualities, like her personality and intelligence, and he just comes across like one of those guys whose main priority in a relationship, which outweighs the combined total of all the other characteristics of his partner, is s*x. Which, I get was needed to get him to like her before he actually liked her, and she is a willing and happy participant (a rarity in these stories) but c'mon, this was written for women, can't we get a better guy? This one has a bit of a blecky aftertaste.

He's also got a drop of a v*rginity obsession which is very unappealing: he's always had to compete with his older brother, Cliff, so he is thrilled to death to realize he gets to be many of his wife's 'firsts', from first gift to first bouquet to first outing, to more physical firsts and likes how innocent she is... while still having a killer bod and being DTF only him. Yuck.

Like when he was going to 'kill her' like in the OG novel, he chose not to even when she gave up. She didn't ask for help and he did it on his own volition.

According to the story, OG FL was also possessed by the Author of the story and had lived the same life as Lize multiple times. She eventually got bored and chose to have people possess the villain, Edith. She successfully got through 12 lives like this and she enjoyed it very much. She lived a life of killing her readers for self-satisfaction. Then came the 13th (our FL) who acted similarly at the beginning. However, as time went on it became clear that our FL was different from the different Edith's. She convinced everyone of her innocence using logic and soon the ML fell in love. OG FL used her privilege as an author to give rules to prevent FL from becoming 'a good person' as most of the other Edith's tried but the FL broke through the first by attempting to seduce ML. Contrary to OG FL's expectations, FL succeeded and they slept together. The next rule was to reject the ML 10 times and the FL succeeded since she thought ML was testing her. The last rule was to die as a villainess, but there was an exception and that was accepting her death. Time skip to before FL was going to be executed, she accepted her death but ML didn't want to kill her so she broke all the characters free from OG FL's control (she had an extra privilege to control characters with importance but the control weakened every time FL broke a rule) and then she spent time with ML. Soon FL confronted OG FL and said that she won't kill OG FL (I was really annoyed at this point). Instead, FL told her that since this is now a story with an unexpected future she could possibly end up with an even better ending. OG FL and OG ML get married extravagantly and then ML and FL leave to go to their new house. FL improves everything with modern knowledge and also tells ML about her being a transmigrator. He says that he'd try to understand her but he won't unconditionally believe her. Soon, she has to children and they live happily ever after.

Spoilers for OG FL and OG ML: They get married but she keeps wanting attention. So she tries seducing a bunch of people only to have more arguments. She pushes to act extravagantly which causes the Duke to dislike her and the Duchess basically gives up on her. Soon, she attempts to seduce the CP so he falls for her like in the OG story. Fails miserably and she gets scolded by Duke. And then, she tries to find the lost relative of the Emperor to gain favour. To do this, she goes to the s*ave auction where he was before but she only found a lookalike. She takes the lookalike and teaches him how to be a noble so she can fool the Marquis house (said relative was the Marquis' child) this also fails since his birth mark changed to a different area and she was imprisoned. Also, if you're asking why OG ML didn't divorce her, he made a contract. And it basically stopped him from leaving her optionally. Anyways, FL turns out to have found the child but she didn't know. When she visited the Duke's house she brought him and he was found. OG FL was allowed to survive but was sent to a monastery where her marriage was annulled. Then it goes to ML, FL and OG ML talking, he opened up about unconditionally loving her for some reason and I think he said he fell out of love as soon as they got married. But anyways, it ends up with FL telling him to get it together and find someone who he mutually loves. Timeskip to when FL and ML are going to the capital again, OG ML finds someone who he loves like a normal person and they're happy together. Story ends with FL thinking that it was really a common possession.

Dont get attatched to the original heroine, tho in the first parts the MC will also like her. Shes a b*tch, end in end.

But I'm glad Lizé was no longer a part of the Ludwigs and was banished. She was no longer adored by the Duke and Duchess. Cliff grew restless with her attitude. Her marriage with Cliff was annulled and the latter was able to move on from her and fell in love again with another person who became the duchess. Also, Edith didn't get her hands dirty even in the side story like a true pure female protagonist (which I despise most of the time because I like my protagonist to be flawed and petty and seek retribution) and she saved Lizé. She's too nice and forgiving as if like a saint. Killian and Edith also had a family and Ryzen was apparently becoming successful so it was all good karma in the end.

eventhough in the side stories both got what their deserved.. no, ogML is still got happy ending, so I still dislike 😐
