Uhu.. im getting excited when i read the latest smu-- i mean the arc. Can someone spoil me what happen after ch 20 of manhwa? They go to capital and then..? Which age that the boy left the family?
Lol imagine victor will probably kill the prince for going after his daughter Here lies November27 , Dead , after having nosebleed while reading the raw chapter 20.
As far as I know she didn't demand new clothes etc. She was with him to help him buy new clothes then her eyes caught a beautiful shoes then the Duke buys that for her, but I guess she was just testing if the Duke will buy the necklace for her so she did that..I don't think she's bad tho she's realitic , yes a bit opportunistic but isn't that what makes her more unique and remarkable? Tbh I'm kind of sick to "stereotypical" FL but still I like them allcorrect me if I'm wrong (sorry english is not my native language)
I dont know why many people are giving hate toward the FL. I really like the FL's character. More realistic and natural. Not saint not evil. A human with both postv and neg side
Sorry for the late reply, Jess left the family at 14. they went to the capital to attend a banquet. Looks like Victor and the Emperor have things to talk about. Meanwhile Sylvia tries to get close to noble ladies in order to improve Victor's image. But Sylvia only heard bad things said by the nobles towards Victor. Sylvia couldn't take it anymore and went to meet Victor in a room, she takes her frustration out on Victor, she repeatedly says that Victor is not a bad person as they say, he is a gentle man. And after that Victor started stroking Sylvia. Afraid to wake the sleeping Jess they moved to the bathroom (I don't recommend reading this episode in public ). Later on, Victor went to meet the Emperor. Sylvia was worried about the talk with the Emperor. she was afraid that Victor would be sent to the battlefield again. She thought maybe having a child with Victor would be nice, but what if the father of their child was not around. Sylvia began to be haunted by negative thoughts. Then Victor came with a piece of paper. Sylvia then took the paper. [The marriage of Sylvia, Baron Laurent's daughter and Victor Duke of Aswan has been granted]. After that Victor proposed to Sylvia. END of book 1 hhaha, there is an epilog after, if I’m not wrong it’s Victor Pov. I read the novel long time ago, so maybe i missed some details . And I don't think I'll finish reading book 2. I just read it in a hurry, because I'm not that interested in the story anymore sorry for my messy english There is funny moment in book 2. When their kids asking “How mom and dad meet and fell in love?” of course our sylvia answered it with difficulty her face started to turn red. And told their story (sylvia's version) which was of course the same story the maids knew. their true story is only known to the two of them I think Victor loves both of their kids. So, maybe he’ll let Jess do whatever he likes. No, dont die yet, we still have chapter 23 or 24
Why aren’t the translator team updating this anymore I guess like us they too were shock when the smut came out of nowhere lol
jess returns 7 years later. He is now 21 years old and Jullie is around 18-19 years old (Victor-Sylvia's daughter). it seems jullie fell in love with jess first when they were kid (i don't know if jullie's name is correct or not, sometimes jules, jul, and juli on google translate, but I will call her Jullie or jul), she asked if jess could be her husband, but jess said no, he can't because he is her brother. Jess came back, after participating in the war, he had sunburnt tan skin and his hair tied up like the kind of guy Julie liked. Oh btw, jull never felt attracted to men, her father was her type hahaha. That's the end of the story. This is just a short romance novel, no villains, if you are looking for a good roller-coster story then this is not for you but it is quite fresh for those of us who sometimes read blood-boiling sorts of novels i will do mtl later if i have time. Sadly there was no continuation about them after jess returned. But I think Jess and Jullie will end up together
If it's the one from teenmanhua it's probably because of the adult content. Even if it's an aggregator site, because it now has adult content, it's probably prohibited. If you're asking about other scanlating teams, it's because Tapas has already licensed this. Most scanlating teams follow the honour code esp. once it's licensed
Thank you for the info I just read the last chapter of the novel on tappytoon and found out that their daughter's name is jules Spoiler: Finale Episode of book 1 Jess grow day by day. Sylvia often referred herself as mother when she spoke to Jess. She turned 21. With Victor's unchanging support, she could own anything she wanted. Precious jewels, dresses, shoes, limited edition book, a white horse,, and.... a baby "How would you name our second child?" (Sylvia) Victor looked at her in surprise. Dumbfounded Victor was quite cute. "Had it never occurred to you that we might have a baby?" (Sylvia) "Certainly not" Victor said in deep tone and hug her tightly, then wisper "Jules" "Jules" Sylvia repeated and smile, "Lovely, I like it" "I hope the child resembles you. Then I would love him/her so dearly" (Victor) "Well, I suppose the child would get at least one feature from me. Let's see when the baby is born" (Sylvia) "The moment you fall in love, the world becomes clearer. That everything stops, and you forget to breathe" (Victor) "I was surprised when you didn't throw me out when we first met. I was strange woman and intruder. I thought hard at the time to figure it out why you might let me stay and not kill me. I came up with 3 possibilities. First because you liked my look. Don't laugh!! There are some people who say I'm pretty. Yes, I know it doesn't make sense. It wasn't love at first sight of course. Anyways second, because you needed a wife. You were 27 at that time. I thought you might be burning with desire as a bachelor. Third if neither of the above, you just didn't want cause trouble by killing me" (Sylvia) Victor wondered why she had rule out the first possibility, the truth was he had liked her from the start. First, Victor had known about Sylvia before arriving at the castle. The rumor the The Duke of Aswan had secretly brought a foreign bride to his castle had reached him too. He came straight to his castle and asked the maid where she was. He was fully ready to kill her on the spot, but the moment she showed up he decided not to. His mind change like that, easy and simple. The woman's eyes crinkled up as a dazzling smile spread across her face. His heart ached and his jaw tightened. The woman was sunshine, too bright, too warm. She was his wife. Though he had no knowledge as to why she was doing this, he didn't feel the need to evict her if she were his wife. He quietly turn around and headed to dining room. *** "Please be save my love" (Sylvia) Victor had always thought he was incapable of being lonely. Even when his soldiers who fought well shed tears at night due to homesickness, he couldn't relate to them. He had no home or family. He believed it was his fate to fight on the battlefield for the rest of his life. If it's talent not to feel loneliness, then he was destined to die on the battlefield. However, the woman waist was so thin that he could almost break it if he squeezed it hard, and her lips were sweeter than honey. When he had to leave behind the brown eyes that reflected only him, emptiness hit him. It was emotion that he had never felt before. He was lonely, he didn't want to leave. He want to settle. He thought it will be okay to live as normal as other, not on the bloody and fierce battlefield. Victor become greedy. He wanted to stay home a little longer and feel Sylvia's warmth more. She was soft and warm. Enough to embrace him. On that day, he vowed to come back alive no matter what. Sylvia was the reason why he had to come back alive. He was already missing her as he set out. At Aswan's Caste, there was a woman who would wave a handkerchief for him.
It may not be 100% accurate due to mtl Spoiler: marriage proposal (This happened before the episode above) Sylvia handed Jess a bottle of milk. Jess stared at her and sucked the milk. Sylvia looks at him with affectionate eyes. "Oh so cute" (Sylvia) Sylvia has lived her whole life chasing after someone else. So, when she ran away from home, there was only one thing she decided to do. 'Live a life for yourself' She just need to live a warm and full life. But Sylvia looked at Jess and thought it wouldn't hurt her to raise a child. Taking care of Jess didn't bother her at all. There was even a willingness to endure the pain of childbirth if a gentle and pretty child was born. If Victor and her child were born.... Sylvia imagine the child's future appearance. Victor had black and blue eyes, and she had blonde hair and brown eyes. Sylvia who was trying to combine the number of cases, was startled by her action. 'Do I want to have his child?' She imagined herself and felt strange. It was something she had never thought of it until recently. Having Victor Aswan's child was not her future plans. But now things have changed. Sylvia blushed at the thought of Victor. Just a few hours ago, she was still in his arms and screamed to the point of choking. At this rate, you never know when a child will be born between the two. Sylvia thought it wouldn't hurt to have his child. However, the situation he was in made Sylvia's heart heavy. 'The war isn't over, so will he go to the battlefield again?' The Emperor will send Victor back to the battlefield. There is no commander as good as Victor Aswan in the Pritra Empire. Sylvia let out a heavy sigh. Even having Victor's child was a problem. It would be very lonely and sad when she had to give birth to a child alone while he was on the battlefield. Sylvia hated the emperor who constantly rolls Victor. 'I can't believe that only Victor has to risk his life on the battlefield when the emperor is living a good life in the imperial Palace!! It's not fair' She cursed the emperor whose face she had never seen. Victor's-empror's meeting was seriously lengthening. Sylvia couldn't sleep because she was worried that Victor might go war again. 'Now that I really like him, how can I let him go?' When she imagined Victor being shot by an arrow from the enemy, her mind was dizzy. After an hours of Sylvia's biting her nails and trembling with anxiety, Victor finally returned from the meeting. "Did the conversation go well?" (Sylvia) Victor made a mysterious expression. He didn't respond easily and took a moment. "Do you have to go again?" (Sylvia) "No" Victor smiled and shook his head. "Finally, the king of the enemy sent an appeal" The enemy surrendered. In other words, Victor Aswan no longer had to go war. Sylvia blink her eyes in surprise. What she just heard, she couldn't believe it. After a moment's of silence, she asked carefully "really?" (Sylvia) "really" (Victor) "Yeay!" Sylvia screamed and jumped at Victor. "What a relief. Ah really. You don't know how worried I was knowing that I had to let you go again. Oh, I'm so glad" (Sylvia) "It's not over yet" (Victor) Victor showed the hand he was hiding behind his back. Sylvia took the paper from him and read it. [The marriage of Sylvia, daughter of Baron Laurent and Victor, Duke of Aswan is granted] It was document stamped with the emperor's seal. Sylvia looked at Victor with surprise eyes. "Sylvia, will you officially marry me?" (Victor) Sylvia's mind went blank. 'He formally proposed to me!'. Sylvia is no longer a fake bride, but a real Victor's wife. And with the emperor permission! Sylvia was thrilled and covered her mouth with her hands. Hot tears flow down her cheeks. "Let's have a grand wedding. I will show the world that you are my wife" (Victor) Victor's proposal to marry was a joy that was incomparable to anything Sylvia had experience in her 20 years of her life. She answered sobbing. "Yes, yes. Absolutely" Victor Aswan will be her husband without going to war in the future. Now the two were together forever. Sylvia was so happy taht she seemed to be dreaming. Victor smiled. His blue eyes were full of pride and joy. He whispered affectionately. "I love you, Sylvia" Sylvia was filled with emotions deep in her heart. She realized that she really loved this man, Victor Aswan. "I love you too, Victor" She poured her kisses on Victor with all her heart. Spoiler: Jess returned to Aswan's Castle after 7 years pt 1 (it’s 100% mtl and i just edited it a bit) Jules looked out the window with a puffy cheek. The sun is so nice, but she has to measure her body to fit the dress in her room. It felt like a huge waste of time to stand with her arms outstretched so that the maid could put the thread around her waist. A middle-aged maid who measured the length of the thread by putting it on a wooden ruler made a request. “Take a look, miss. I'll measure the shoulder length one more time.” (maid) “ Finally.” Jules sighed and showed her back to the maid. It seemed that the whole family of the Duke's castle were excited about making a dress for a birthday party held at the Imperial Palace, except for Jules. “'I will make everyone admire your slim body” (maid) The maid said as if she wouldn't allow the slightest error, her eyes widened and Jul's body measurements were thoroughly recorded. The emperor, who had been sending birthday gifts every year since the birth of Jules, finally offered to hold a birthday party at the Imperial Palace to commemorate her coming of age. Of course, hosting a 19th birthday party at the Imperial Palace is a very special and glorious thing. No matter how powerful nobles are, they cannot use the Imperial Palace as their own home. But that's it, as her mom says, because her dad roamed the battlefield like the emperor's valiant dog when he was young, so it's a snack place. It would be a minor reward returning to Rum, and Jules was caught up in a more fundamental question than the cause of the merciful invitation. “I don’t know why I can’t wear pants to a birthday party.”(Jules) Sylvia laughed as if she wanted to hear all the funny jokes. But Jules was genuinely dissatisfied. “Mom, I don’t want to wear a fancy dress that has three layers. It's uncomfortable to move. And above all, doesn't it look pretty?"(Jules) "So? Mom wanted to wear something like this when I was your age” (Sylvia) Although she had an 18-year-old daughter, Sylvia looked down at the fabric and had a shy blush like a teenage girl. Her eyebrows softened slightly, as if recalling the past, as she stroked the fabric with her soft hands. “At the time when I was sewing wages. Even after finishing mending the dress in three or four hours, I did not want to put it down, so I waited another hour. In an hour, I can finish five other sewing tasks. Still, the best part was getting the dress repair work to come in. The feeling of touching the expensive fabric was ecstatic.” (Sylvia) Jules noticed what kind of past Sylvia was reminiscing about. Her mother said that she lived very poorly. From a young age, she said she had to make money by sewing. Maybe that's why Sylvia has shiny dresses, jewelry, and necklaces. She really liked those accessories. Sylvia smiles happily when she sees the new clothes, although it doesn't seem like the style is much different from what Jules already has. On the other hand, Jules liked things that Sylvia didn't really care about, such as leaves, pretty stones, unusually colored insects, etc. While Sylvia was shopping for clothes in the downtown area, Jules collected strange bugs in the woods near the Duke's Castle. The two would return triumphantly to the Duke's Castle and proudly show Victor what they each had acquired during the day. Because Victor was a person who showed an equally caring curiosity about Sylvia's new dress or Jul's new insect. Anyway, Jules still couldn't understand why she shouldn't wear pants to the party, but she replied kindly, because she didn't want to disappoint her mother, who was looking forward to seeing her in her new dress. "all right. Let me measure it. It's uncomfortable, but I'll try it on." (Jules) The dress that Jules usually wears at the Duke's Castle is a dress that is comfortable for activities. She didn't like the look of her dress, which became more glamorous and uncomfortable as she got older. The chest bone was cut and the waist line was tightened strongly. Especially this time, it's more formal because it's outside the territory The maid said that she had to dress up, and said that she would make the dress twice as full. Jules muttered bitterly. “It would be better for my mother to attend the party instead of me. Mom likes that.” (Jules) Jules smirked, imagining for a moment Sylvia pretending to be her in a lavish dress. “But I'm sure people will believe it. My mother looks like my older sister.” (Jules) The middle-aged maid nodded as if in agreement. “Madam is exactly the same. It's the same as the last time I saw. Lady, can you give me your left arm? I need to measure your arm length again.” (maid) Jules grudgingly extended her left arm to her and looked out the window again. The scenery below can be clearly seen from the 3rd floor of the duke's castle. While admiring the sun-drenched lake and expansive lawn, Jules found her favorite among the peaceful scenery. In the shade of tree, her father and mother were reading a book. Jules looked intently at her mother, who was babbling about something happily in her father's arms. Not because it was her mother, but objectively, Sylvia was a great beauty. Sylvia, with clear skin without blemishes and blonde hair with good texture, looked noble as if she had lived her life without knowing it was hard at all. Her twinkling brown eyes had a youthful, pure light like a girl. Sylvia was overflowing with a warm energy that made people disarm. She folds her eyebrows. When she listened to it, Jules wanted to laugh along with it. Considering the love story of the parents who used to say that all the people of the Duke's Castle were romantic, it was reasonable for the father to marry his mother. 18-year-old, no, soon-to-be-nineteen-year-old Julie thought she had never seen a woman as lovely as her mother. When his father was 27, he saw his 18-year-old mother and fell in love at first sight, but Jules thought that even if she were a man, she would risk her life to bring her home. A beautiful woman like that smiles sweetly, but how could it be that her nationality is different? “Lady, how about tying the ribbon like this later? Then the waist line will stand out even more.” (maid) The maid's excited voice brought Jules back to reality. The terrible reality of having to waste time crafting new clothes she doesn't want. Jules nodded sharply. “Is there any reason why I have to dress prettily? There will be only ugly ones(man) anyway.” (Jules) “Oh my, lady. You never know which handsome gentleman will be at the party. There are a lot of amazingly handsome men in the capital.” (maid) “Yeah, my head would have gone blank. The lower part is light.” Jules snorted and shoved a wedge. “I don’t like it unless it’s a guy like my dad.” (Jules) The maid replied sullenly. “There is no one like the Duke… … .”(maid) “Are you done anyway? I will go out.” (Jules) Jules put her clothes back on and left the room. No one caught Jules' eyes. There were a lot of man approaching, but compared to Victor, it was too heavy and unreliable. Every time she saw them who couldn't keep up with even half of his father's physique, Jule's tongue twitched, thinking that the future of Pritra's empire was dark. *** Jules got out of the castle and walked towards the tree where Victor and Sylvia were. She wanted to tell her parents that she would be back for dinner after playing in the stable. A foal, the great-grandson of a black mare, said to have once traveled the battlefield with Victor, was recently born. He's dignified and handsome, and Jules has kept it for herself from an early age. Sylvia, who looked like she was reading a book, was nodding. Victor smiled softly and raised Sylvia's hand to kiss the back of her hand. His posture, holding her in his arms, seemed supremely comfortable and satisfying. He was treating Sylvia with great care, as if he were dealing with a fragile glass doll. Jules finds herself and understands Victor's intentions to bring his index finger to his lips, but acts like a tree frog, knowing that waking Sylvia makes things more interesting. "mom!" (Jules) "Oh!" (Sylvia) Sylvia, who woke up in shock, quickly wiped her mouth and opened the book again. “Jul, are you here? Have you done your measurement? Mom was reading a book.” (Sylvia) Julie watched her and pretended not to know. She knows everyone falls asleep while reading anyway, but Sylvia pretended not to do that every time. Julie struggled to contain her laughter. “I am going to the stables to see the horses. I'll be back before dinner." (Jules) Sylvia, who blinked quickly, asked with a curious expression. “Is it over already? Did you discuss what color shoes to wear?” (Sylvia) “We decided to talk about it again after fitting is over.” (Jules) "I see. We are already looking forward to seeing Julie wearing the dress. It will be so pretty.” (Sylvia) Sylvia, who gently closed her eyebrows, turned to Victor and chatted happily. “Victor, what if our Jules are so pretty that we get a hundred proposals a day? All men would fall in love with our fairy Jules.” (Sylvia) When Sylvia was sarcastic, Jules was embarrassed and grunted on purpose. “Oh, Mom. Don't say anything terrible. Maybe I have a tendency to hate men. It's all messy and childish. I don't want to talk them because they look stupid, and I'd rather live alone. I don’t want to get married.” (Jules) Sylvia smiled and said teasingly. “You don’t want to get married? But you said you wanted to marry Jess before, didn't you?" (Sylvia) Jules shrugged pretending not to know. Spoiler: Jess returned to Aswan's Castle after 7 years pt 2 {It's 100% mtl, and I just edited it a bit} "Jess? Who is it?”(Jules) “Don’t you remember?” (Sylvia) It's hard to resist a mother who gives her sad eyes, so Jules replied bluntly. “Well, it seems that there was once a person with that name in our castle.” (Jules) However, it's hard to stop the grumpy coming out of puberty these days, so Jules added bluntly. "I do not know. He'd be dead anyway. How many years have we not heard from him?” (Jules) Sylvia opened her mouth slightly, as if shocked by Jules' words, and spoke in a trembling voice. “Jess will be back.” (Sylvia) “If he want to come back, he had to come back long time ago. Was the last letter three years ago? I think he came then, but he's probably dead.” (Jules) “Oh, Victor. My daughter is doing that.” (Sylvia) Jules saw his father scolding her with his eyes, but pretended not to notice. "Anyway, I'd rather go see the horse than Jess, who doesn't know if he's dead or alive. See you later!" (Jules) As Jules turned and ran, she heard Sylvia complaining in an upset voice behind her. “Sometimes I don't know who Jules looks like. Why?” (Sylvia) Jules could hear Victor responding to Sylvia with a small voice. “Jul looks just like you. You also wanted me to die.” (Victor) “This man… … ! What are you saying?” (Sylvia) There was the sound of a slap somewhere, Victor's low laugh, and then Sylvia chuckled. “Hey, Victor, what's wrong with you?” (Sylvia) Jules was already aware of the situation through observation. It was obvious not to see. Then, when it suddenly became quiet, the two of them kissed. Jules grunted as he shook her head. “If you get along like that, why don’t you give me a younger brother?” (Jules) She was so curious before, so when she asked, Victor smiled and pinched Jules on the cheek. “Jul is enough.” (Victor) He added bluntly that Jules was still like a baby in his eyes. But when Jules asked the maids, it didn't seem like that was the reason. They said that Jules was born after a difficult childbirth. People said that they thought that dozens of people would die that day when they saw the vicious momentum of Victor waiting in front of the sanctuary. And they realized his nickname was the killer of the battlefield. "Never." (Victor) It was the first sentence Victor, with a terrifying expression, muttered after the cry of a baby broke out after a long, bloody wait. Jules inflated the ball dissatisfied. “But I wish I had a younger brother. Then I can treat him like a servant and have fun.” (Jules) The reason why it has to be a brother is because that would be similar to Jess's role. Earlier, she said she couldn't remember, but Jules clearly remembered how good Jess had been to her. Jess always smiled, even if it hurt by pinching and pulling his hair. “Jul.” Jess looked at her with very soft, warm eyes. Seeing the green eyes darker and deeper than the forest, Jules felt as if everything would be acceptable no matter what. When she talk with young girls she is close with, I think, 'Oppa? I want to kill you.' (I don't understand this part) There are frequent comments, but Jules didn't understand each time. kill? why? Jess should never have died. Jules sometimes had nightmare because she was so anxious that he might have dies in the battlefield. It was a really scary dream. Jess was shattered on the floor like a broken wooden doll. The warm green eyes were lifeless and the lips that had always smiled at her were hardened. 'no!' After a cruel dream, blood was reflected on the bed. Jules hated the ladies cycle that came back every month. Her heart raced and she felt uneasy because of the ominous feeling that he was going to die. It has been 7 years since Jess left the Duke of Aswan. It's not surprising that she forget the old memories, but she doesn't know how the older she get, the more she misses him. Jules longed for him to be alive. However, it was more convenient to think of him as a dead man if he did not return to the Duke Castle even though he was still alive. Because it was too terrible to consider Jess a man who couldn't keep his promises. 'He promised to come back.' If he don't keep his promise to return safely, he'd be better off believing that he died on the battlefield. Then Jess can remain beautiful in memory. Jules frowned as she remembered Sylvia's worried face when she asked if she remembered Jess. 'Of course I remember.' What woman in the world forgets to propose? Jules also remembered asking Jess sternly when he was young. "Jess. will you marry me? How many children will we have?” (Jules) Jules, jealous of a friend who boasted that he and her husband had three children while playing house, returned home and asked ambitious. “Can we have about 35 children?” (Jules) Jules was shocked when Jess replied with a puzzled look that he couldn't. When she asked the reason, he added without confidence. “I am Jules’ older brother. We cannot get married.” (Jess) Why was that word so embarrassing? Jess' hesitant attitude felt like rejection. No matter what she asked for, he never said that he disliked her! As if Jess was distanced from her, Jules, gripped by anger, disappointment, and betrayal, fired wildly. "what? Can't you be my husband? Then disappear in front of me!” (Jules). Spoiler: Jess returned to Aswan's Castle after 7 years pt 3 {It's 100% mtl, and I just edited it a bit} “Jul. Listen to me.” (Jess) As she slapped away Jess's cautious grip, Jules responded with a smirk. “I don't have time to give to a man who can't be my husband. Leave me alone!" (Jules) Jess, who was perplexed, said after a lot of thought. “Then I will find a way to become your husband.” (Jess) At least he was trying his best, so Jules felt a little relieved. Although there was no news, she told Sylvia, who makes clothes for Jess every year, that Jess might have died earlier, but Jules wanted him to come home more than anyone else. If he was really dead... … It seemed disappointing. “I’ll come back and get a bigger diamond ring than father gave to mother.” (Jess) 'Didn't you say that clearly when you left? You will come back as a man as handsome as father.' If he wasn't confident, he shouldn't have made such a promise in the first place. Full of grumpiness, Jules turned towards the stable. She didn't feel like going to see the horses. Once she caught up in the old memories, the day was absurd. She couldn't do anything but think of Jess. Jules brought a sketchbook and pencils from the room and headed under one of her favorite spots, under the cypress tree in the backyard. It's a place where people don't go around very often, so it was good to be alone in deep thoughts. The backyard was very quiet and peaceful, with a gentle breeze. Jules, leaning her back against a tree, held a pencil in her white sketchbook. Like Victor, she has a talent for drawing, and she was used to drawing what she wanted as it was. The year after Jess left the Duke of Aswan, the birthday party was very lonely. 'Jul, happy birthday.' Maybe it was because Jess wasn't there to kiss her on the cheek. Jules' birthday party wasn't as exciting as it used to be. No matter how many gifts came in, even if she received a precious jewel box from the emperor, she was not happy at all. The ring Jess had made by twisting the grass became even more valuable. Of course, it quickly crumbled and rotted. Jules was saddened by the fact that Jess wasn't there. 'What did you look like?' Jules, who was diligently sketching the figure of Jess remaining in her memory, soon became confused. fourteen years old the last appearance that remains in her memory was then, and she don't know how he has changed since then. Because 7 years have already passed. Maybe he grew up similar to when he was young, but... Jules wrinkled her eyes, pondering, and sighed. She exhaled for a long time. 'Are you still alive?' Jules, who was staring at the sketchbook with a serious expression, noticed that the surroundings were darker than before. 'Is it raining?' It was dark over her head as if dark clouds were coming. But the maid didn't tell her it was raining today. Jules looked up with a frown on her face, found a stranger, and widened her eyes. A man with healthy skin that was slightly tanned by the sun looked exactly like the ideal type she had dreamed of. The naturally flowing black curly hair and gracefully raised lips softened the man's cool impression. “Jul.” (Jess) A voice that resonated so deeply that it gave a chill to the spine filled Jules' ears. The handsome-looking man was unfamiliar. But strangely, she didn't find it awkward to make eye contact with a man. Eyes embracing dark green like the forest at dawn. The person who gaveher such kind eyes “…… Jess?” (Jules) "Yes. It's me, Julie. I'm back.” (Jess) Jules looked at the man blankly and asked in a confused voice. "how… … .” (Jules) “I said I would come back.” (Jess) Jess grabbed Jules' hand and lifted her up like a gentleman asking a lady to dance. Jules thought about the rumors that would soon spread throughout the Aswan estate as she was embraced by Jess, who was unfamiliarly firm but still warm. Jess Aswan. No, Jess Lujah. Confucius, who left home 7 years ago, has finally returned to the Duke of Aswan.
Just because she is bold, or "more realistic and natural" for u, doesn't mean what she did was okay. No one in their right mind would just barge in, lie straight up that she's preggy, and just wanted to live in luxury. Actually, it isn't even natural??? How is it realistic and natural??I'm confuse. Idk, maybe if ur idiot enough or dont have any dignity, maybe u think this kind of behavior is "natural and realistic". She legit wanted for him to die so she can live in luxury, buy dresses and jewelries with ease. "Oh but she was poor OwO OwO, and and and! She i-is honest and b-bold hmp hmp!!" Those kind of replies r stupid. None of her actions justify her upbringing. Like am I the only one confuse here... How is she natural and realistic. like yeah, hoping for someone to die so u can live in luxury with ease is totalllyyyy natural and realistic. Sure. Edit: in case anyone thinks I'm mad, no I'm not. I'm being sarcastic because that reply was a bit dum dum for me. With her kind of behavior, how'd u expect the readers to not hate her character.
I mean, I get what you are saying, but I think you're missing a big chunk of what her character is supposed to be. It's not like she is not aware that what she is doing is wrong. Even when she gets upset with the ml for bringing back a child, she realises that she really has no right to be upset. She is acting like a shitty person because she doesn't care about being nice anymore. She is acting in the complete opposite way that a fl would be expected to act. She gets what she wants by lying, acts shamelessly and puts herself first. Its shellfish, but that's the point. And that doesn't make her a good or a bad person. In theory she isn't hurting anyone, it's not like she took the place of someone or that she is abusing her power, but she also isn't a good person, as she wishes that the ml won't come back. The situation is supposed to be more complex, and treating this like its an inexcusable situation is not seeing the forest for the trees. Her abuse made her desperate, so she acts that way. It probably makes readers uncomfortable to read the story of a protagonist who does bad things but in all honesty that seems like it's the whole point. Even if you hate her, the point is that she isn't made to be totally likeable in the first place.
(Sorry, this isn't a spoiler) U said that doesn't make "her a bad person" but at the end u said "who does bad things" and "she's acting like a shitty person". Which is it rlly. Like let's be honest, she is a bad person. What she did was bad lol it doesn't matter even if she didn't stole someone's spot. She could literally get killed or imprisoned for lying. IT is bad. Ik it's hard to admit it, but she is. I'm confuse why ppl would go this far to justify her actions?? "She is made that way" yeah we can see and that is why her character sucks. And yes, she was aware she didn't have the right to be upset but what did she do?? She gave him a cold shoulder. like gurl, seriously. She was AWARE but was still upset. Idk if u did read the manhwa, but she was clearly upset. And even confronted him because she was entitled and thought that he should be worried(or he didn't care I forgot). "That's the point of her character" yeah and that is why, yet again, her character sucks. She is not harming anyone(although she wants the ml to die) but that's not the point of my statements. It's the fact that her character sucks. That's all. Discussion end, I don't want this to get longer. Sorry for those who wanted spoilers.

It's pretty funny, I couldn't find the novel so far, so I guess it's an original work, but I may be wrong. Her and his personality are hilarious and their relationship is also quite funny and unexpectedly good. Spoiler: Some random spoilers up to chapter 19 She is from a poor noble family and she decided to move into the duke's house expecting he won't be coming home any time soon because he went to the war a long, long time ago, 7 years if I am not wrong (I will correct it when I check exact time). He actually returned pretty soon after she came and she didn't even recognize him. The servants were all like, amm, that long-haired guy is the duke. She then tried to explain to him what happened (what she has done), but he seemed to be pretty ok with the situation. She even lied about being pregnant with him and then acted like she had a miscarriage. He even brought a kid from the battlefield and she was jealous after she hit him and he finally explained it's not his kid they made up and they had their snu-snu moment. The morning after they slept together (chapter 19) he told her about the invitation from the emperor and after a bit of persuading she agreed to go with him to the capital city and also to bring the kid with them ''to show off their marriage'' to the emperor because he was always bothering Victor to find/have a woman according to Victor's words.
