Elena, who spent her entire life as a cold-blooded female knight to avenge her family, ended up dying without claiming her revenge.

“I want to marry you, Your Highness,” she said to the crown prince. She would do this to save her family.

it was ok, dont know when but at some point reading this became a chore and it got boring for me. It wasnt what I was expecting so maybe that was why. Im only continuing on so how I can see how the ML reacts to finding out about the first timeline and her suffering because thats one of my favourite things about isekai/reincarnation/transmigration/regression whatever, its when the people close to her find out about the mc's suffering and really get to understand the MC. So far, the ML doesnt... more>> know yet so I will continue but as soon as he does im dropping it as there is nothing else interesting about this for me personally. <<less

Here are my complaints:
I hated the FL's father. ... more>>
Spoiler

(The last "sacrifice" he did to kill the antagonist was super unnecessary.)

[collapse]
FL seems to not know what love is and she tries to figure out for so long what she's feeling for ML and it's totally understandable because of her past life trauma. It took long but it was sweet so it's not even a complaint.
The last arc was... excessive because the FL became a superhuman all of a sudden.
Spoiler

Beaten up, 10+ days hunger AND imprisonment WITH a baby on the belly... With all this, she can fight a dozen of elite soldiers with her hands tied, throw a bomb from the window, run to her allies, spend days on a horse, then continue having a swordfight for the main antagonist... IN A BURNING FOREST. With that weary body... yeah, sure. It threw me off big time.

[collapse]

Here are the positive sides:
The villains aren't brainless piglets so you'll wonder that who'll win.
The romance is sweet.
ML's obsession with her health is cute.
Good sibling relationships.

It's a 3 and a half star. I wish I didn't read the last arc and could give it a 5. <<less

I am satisfied with the story it was plotwise for my opinion and I have enjoyed the scenes especially how ML show his love to the MC. So far I enjoyed it, there were thrill and romance that would hook you.

I dropped it. I read this as a thing to pass time, but I feel like I wasted time.

The characters are okay? They're not the worse but certainly not the best. The author tried to make an MC that is a knight slash a countess ? (Maybe I forgot). She's not interesting enough for me neither do the other characters do. The plot at first looks quite interesting but it's dull and frankly boring tbh. It's not the worst, I had some good moments but it's repetitive. The characters are... more>> not annoying but they don't leave an impression especially the ML. They don't have any personality and the plot is very tedious. Frankly rn I do not remember whats the MC and the ML's name neither do I remember the plot. The only scene that leaves quite an impression on me is honestly the MC's dad and MC's confrontation scene. As much as I despise those revenge thrown based plotline honestly I enjoyed those series better than this.

Basically not the worst but its boring and doesn't leave an impression 2.5 /5 stars. <<less

Absolutely amazing. I never thought that reading this 320+ chapter was possible until this novel came in my radar. The story is so well made. Not to complicated and each chapter never leaves you waiting or even bored. Not the most original but still a great novel

I might change my review later but as other reviewers mentioned, I can for a strong FL and got someone denser than a rock. I took two stars away from the story because 1) the story is bland and moves at a snails pace. You know when a story has so many filler arcs that you know which episodes to skip? Same for this. I was able to read the first and last paragraph of some chapters and it was enough to understand what's going on bc there are a... more>> lot of unnecessary scenes. 2) the FL so far is dumb af. The author tries so hard to make the FL seem badass because she used to be a swordswoman that lived and breathed for revenge, but it's all talk? Other than her training and physicality, she has nooo business meddling in politics. She cant even manage her own household. <<less

OK story to read.

The sentences and words used are very very simple. The whole story is lacking depth. The are some glaring holes in the logic of this story. To enjoy it you have to turn off your logical thinking.

The ML and FL are great, the antagonists and the story are good. However, I only give this three stars due to a sasaeng character I hated. That character was useless from day 1 in my opinion and is a stain on the story. I finished the story by skipping all parts where sasaeng character shows up. I'd rather have an ambitious/sly/evil sibling than a useless, childish (in a bad sense), annoyingly s*upid one.

I will recommend this story for those who like a strong FL and ML pair but can... more>> stomach useless and annoying character/sibling. <<less

the starting story is good. But I got bored in chapter 100 something. There is no fight scene that move my heart. It so bland. The MC is a knight but there is nothing about it mentioned in the novel. She has not show any specialty of her knight lives. The ML is predictable. Till the chapter I read it just no love is in the air. Just little bit of it. Maybe I will continue read it if I have time. For know this is enough.

There’s a lot of ups and downs with this book and personally I found the first half of the book more interesting. It just felt like the book started trying too hard when the MC became crown princess. A big gripe that I had was with her little sister. Lmao I did not like her at all and I think that affected my view on the story. It’s an okay read, albeit a little prolonged.

I'm a bit torn on how I feel about this novel. The translators are absolutely fantastic and it really helped with keeping me s**ked into the novel.

Unfortunately, while the story itself is great, something about it just didn't keep me engaged. I don't know if the pacing was too slow towards the middle or there was too many conflicts and I couldn't be bothered to keep track of it?

The characters also had inconsistencies that irked me and probably led me to dropping the novel at the chapters I did.
Spoiler

For a strong female knight, she almost has no mind of her own once she gets engaged. It got really frustrating to see her eventually have no pride. Her decisivness in the beginning went missing and she kept getting swept away by almost everyone. She became a pushover for her sister, her dad, and eventually Carlisle. She's supposed to be this amazing knight and I felt that the author lost track of the traits she must've possessed to get there.

And the budding romance between the sister and the guard I just could not get behind. Maybe it's the way she was drawn that made me see her as younger than she actually was?

[collapse]

Still, I think it's definitely worth a read. There's great balance between adventure and action and the first part of the story is a page turner!

What a wonderful, satisfying journey! This book has very admirable leads, interesting side characters, and a sound plot. There's a mix of action, intrigue, and romance (of the healthy kind - how wonderful it is with a healthy relationship built on mutual respect and devotion). It isn't perfect but it's definitely the most satisfying k-webnovel translation I've read (stayed up reading till 4:20 am one day...) :D A high quality translation too.

While this story is packed through with cliches and tropes I really didn't mind. You need a lot of patience with this story since the romance is surprisingly slow paced and some side characters can be incredibly frustrating however overall I really enjoyed this story. It's much more refreshing to have a powerful and strong MC and the plot is interesting and well written. Bravo to the translation team, they did a fantastic job.

I liked how the MC is portrayed as a strong and smart lady. There's only a few MC who knows how to fight! The main story is really nice! I just stopped reading a bit because of the way the MC's sister is acting. I was too annoyed by her character development.

Spoiler

and her love story with Kuhn and the development of their love story is annoying. I hate how she is too clingy and acting spoiled all the time that it affects Kuhn's work!

[collapse]

This is the first time a side character's story affected how I read a novel. I mostly skip her part so I could read the novel in peace. <<less

The novel is different from the expectations it sets in the beginning.

First expectation: good ol' revenge. The novel drags this out for way too long that it ultimately loses its significance. Furthermore, it's super anticlimatic and short to the point its practically a non-event.

Second expectation: a cool, rational, and smart MC. Nope, they fooled you. The MC is cool, rational and smart, but not in the way you'll expect them to be. The MC is, in a way, a Mary Sue. She's one of the most beautiful ladies of the... more>> society, kind and humble with the added bonus that she's a knight that can rival the kingdom's best. And that's it, that is her entire character. Aside from that she doesn't make any terribly s*upid decisions. But that's it, she's just an stereotypical MC.

Third expectation: unique plot. Honestly, as original as it is in the beginning, the plot is super basic. The uniqueness peaks at the beginning of the novel and then its like every other novel out there. There's not really much surprise to it. You can guess it beginning to the end. Hurdles presented, aren't hurdles as they are overcomed easily. Furthermore, as a second chance novel, it really falls flat. The 'second chance' aspect plays a minor role, so ultimately its a typical romance novel with plot.

Fourth expectation: decent romance? So, if it fails on delivering a strong FL and falls flat on the 'second chance' aspect there should be a good romance right? Well, the romance in the novel is super typical as well. You can probably guess how it goes after reading up to chapter 20.

Spoiler

FL and ML gets together by contract that benefits both. No feelings supposedly involved. But of course the ML is in love with the FL since the beginning of time. FL eventually falls in love and they conquor all hurdles *cough* non-hurdles *cough* together. To end it all, they dispel an ancient, obscure curse of the ML to secure a happy future for themselves and future generations.

[collapse]

And honestly, I don't really feel chemistry between the leads at all. Their 'sweet' and 'fluffy' moments can be copy and pasted from a typical shoujo novel. There's also practically no character development too.

TL:DR, the novel starts on a high note and that's the highest note it ever reaches. It's a light read, with no pitfalls. Expect the bare minimum and you'll walk away content. This a solid 2-3 star novel with no surprises.

The beginning was strong and full of potential but you'll realize the novel was actually a moutain decline into the vast prairies, rolls over a hill and into the prairies again. The mountain range you expected didnt exist and the view would never compare to the one at the beginning. But overall, you had an decent journey through the flat lands so you cant complain too much about it. <<less

It's sooo good! I love how Elena is over protective of Mirabelle. The sisterly love between them is so beautiful. Caril and Elena together is perfect. Caril is so protective of Elena ❤ Just wish Elena wasn't so dense.
