To my delight, Julietta had an intersection with Adele although they came from a different kingdom. At the end of the story, they even became friends after they knew that they came from the same world (in their previous life).

Julietta grew up in a theater where she could see the cruelty of medieval era man towards commoner woman. She witnessed how her acquaintance got r*ped and how some actresses became a lover of noblemen without any status. Even Killian (ML) was a product of that era where he had many lovers and even had s*x with them before kicking them away when they became too clingy or when they expected something more from him.

It was so admirable for Julietta to be able to accept Killian after witnessing him having s*x with many women (it happened during her time as Killian's maid) with her modern era mindset. Of course everyone had a past and Killian indeed didn't do it with other women after falling in love with Julietta but still, knowing about it was different from witnessing it herself.

Also, the way Julietta took someone else's identity to live happily ever after was a bit disturbing but I didn't entirely blame her for it because one: the duke and his daughter weren't a good person and two: she was manipulated by people around her, including Killian. They kept telling her that she did nothing wrong or that she deserved her status now and completely ignoring her guilty and uncomfortable feeling. She actually just wanted to be a simple businesswoman but now that she was caught in the game of throne, she was forced to be a cruel person who didn't hesitate to kill others for her own interest.

1. 1. In her previous life, Julietta aka Jenna (her name in her previous life) wished to die because of her boring life and loneliness. She met Manny (some kind of God in a puppy form) and was offered to enter a new world so she could have an exciting life. Julietta, who thought that Manny was only a dream, agreed to his offer without thinking. That's when she was thrown to Austern Kingdom.
   2. Julietta took over Marquis Anais's illegitimate daughter body but she couldn't enjoy her new life much before she was kicked out from her and her mother's house by Marquis Anais's wife.
   3. Julietta and her mother stayed in theater which was her mother's former home but not long after that, her mother died and left her alone there. Because of her breathtaking appearance, Julietta was forced to live in disguise for fear of being r*ped by other men.
   4. Maribel, the owner of theater, wanted to give Julietta as a duke's concubine but Julietta refused it. She made a deal with Maribel and chose to work as a maid so she could pay Maribel back for all those years she lived at the theater.
   5. Julietta began to work as a maid in Killian's mansion where he kept his lovers (of course in disguise). She originally just a cleaning maid but accidentally chosen as Killian's bedroom maid. Her duty was to clean the aftermath of Killian's pleasure time. That's where the story began.

• • Manny came to Julietta's world as a puppy because of the God's punishment but he didn't do much other than acting cute and haughty. His meritorious deeds could be counted with one hand, those was: when he alerted Julietta of Christine's attack and when he diagnosed Julietta's pregnancy. Other than that, he was pretty much useless.

• • The second queen opposed of Killian falling in love with anyone because she didn't want him to have a weakness. When she knew that Killian really loved Julietta, she was quite angry but then nothing happened. I think she would be another villainess but in the end, she was barely mentioned again. Considering how much of scandals that surrounded Julietta, from poisoning case to her being a fake, it wasn't surprising if the second queen pressured Killian to break his engagement but surprisingly, she didn't say anything. It really didn't suit her personality.

• • We got a potential love story between Julietta's daughter, Charlotte, and one of Killian aide's son, Alexander but their story didn't have any conclusion. Arghh...I'm really curious whether they'll end up together or not. Maybe I'll never know.

• • Why Julietta kept hoping of her father's love even after being hurted by him over and over again? I mean, he wasn't even her real father and he didn't treat her that well either.

• • Why Killian allowed the first queen to take care of Julietta's half-brother (Fjord) after the marquis was exiled? Wasn't he afraid that someday, Fjord was used by the first queen to take revenge on Julietta and him?

Just to address some common complaints. Where I read it, it was far from MTL quality but perhaps a bit lower quality than a true proper fan translation. I would go as far to say that I never really complained about translation issues while reading.

Moving on... some mentioned hiding things from the MC to get her to marry the prince. MC wants a man to be her only without any concubines, other queens, etc. By this point in the novel while she has a rather positive view of the ML, she does see him as a womanizer. In addition, the MC's goals at the time are pretty much self centered in nature and only concern her advancement. She wants to get into business, not be an empress. The supporting characters and the ML already know that isn't going to work out as she thinks. There's people plotting against her, blah, blah, blah and the ML is quit infatuated with her by this point. He want to settle things in a way that pushed her to want to be his empress rather than forcing her.

The ending with her father left a bitter taste in my mouth. I understand why the author chose to have him try and defend Christine out of his guilt for being cold to her in her childhood leading to her becoming crazy but... FL said exactly what we all thought: His actions put FL in a much worse position in her childhood and the crazy loonie girl tried to kill her several times. He was never abusive to Christine, he let her have what she wanted and she had a mother who to some extent cared for her. It was mentioned that he made a conscious effort NOT to come off looking like he hated her. She turned crazy mostly on her own. Even if he felt his actions contributed to Christine's inferiority complex he shouldn't have kept begging for FL to save her. It's so unfair to the FL. In the end his being cold doesn't justify Christine hurting FL and TONS of other girls. Christine is given plenty of chances and she keeps on acting horribly no matter how much the Marquis pleaded her not to. She never learns that she was wrong, stays hateful and she gets to live the rest of her life unable to move and being cared for by her father. It's apparent he realizes this to but he just sticks with his decision that he has wronged Christine so much that it's unforgivable and that FL doesn't need him because she is loved by others so she should forgive Christine. It's heartbreaking because FL clearly loves her father a lot even after this blatant betrayal. FL was able to get so much love because she overcome the hardship with kindness and love, and generosity towards others instead of coping with hate and anger like Christine. FL loved her father so much she was willing to let Christine off with only exile for attempted mu*der. It just kind of s**ked that he never returned the selfless love she had for him.

If they just left it at FL rejecting his hug at Christine's deportation and telling him that he is free to come back one day when he no longer has to take care of Christine then I might be fine. But danggg it really kind of burned when it was mentioned she kept visiting every year and even tried to reach out to him when she had her first child only to be rejected.

It may be kind of childish but this ruined the ending for me. It wasn't fair to reason that all Christine was was due to daddy issues. I do realize that he couldn't have been a good father either if he didn't own up to it at all but it just felt blegh...
