A very good Harlequin novel. This is the novel for the romantics who love the romance between beautiful and rich people. The female is soft, elegant and beautiful, the male is powerful, domineering and handsome. Their love have ups and downs but never excessive or contrived, it make you root for them.

The s*x scenes are quite numerous and very very detailed. This may or may not be a draw to you. If you read this in a marathon, after the first few s*x scenes you may just skip them to... more>> get to the plot since the plot is fairly interesting in their own right.

I recommend this to shoujo and josei lovers, and if you are under 15 just skip the s*x scenes which could take several chapters lol. <<less

At first I don't really interested in this novel from what I read in the synopsis. But later, I found many recommend this one because I was craving for a sweet romance-building kind of novel.

And yes, I was hooked. I catch up within 1 day of reading and waiting for the novel to update more ??

Lucia is a sweet, smart and gentle duchess; but not OP at all. While her husband is an awesome knight+duke, but he has his own development too.

Their love story doesn't start strong, they takes a... more>> long time to open up to each other. And I absolutely love the process. <<less

It's a nice read, very well translated!! Can't wait to see how the rest of the 26 chapters will turn out, I can definitely recommend if you're looking for a bit cliche but fluffy romantic read!! It's overall enjoyable, however I do have my own problems with it:

... more>>
Spoiler

1) The whole conflict with the "I won't give my heart to you" part. It made me so endlessly frustrated. TALK. COMMUNICATE. A healthy relationship just can't function without conversing. I get Lucia's part and feelings, if she'd have confessed her love the very same man would've left her. I get that. But I cannot say the same for Hugo. The moment he accepted that he has fallen in love with her, he should've talked it out. Instead of pettishly waiting for Lucia to take initiative, who at the time was pretty much shaking in fear that the man she loved would leave her if she did so, he should've manned up, say something along the lines of "May we talk about the contract? I have made a grand mistake. I'd like to change my conditions. I do not care even if I don't get to have your whole heart. You have already stolen mine, and as a compensation, even the smallest piece of it is enough. Just please... let me at least have that" or something like that. It would've been far FAR more romantic from what we've got, I was fairly disappointed and a bit frustrated with how it got resolved in the novel. Hugo throwing away his pride for the first time ever for the woman he loved would've made me love him a whole lot more. Oh well.

2) The way Damian was handled, specifically how Hugo treated Damian. He never once cared for him, has forgotten him, and I do get that he reminds him of his ""part"" and brother, that is absolutely not how you handle a child. He doesn't even try, he sees him as a rival (??????) almost and that made me very uncomfortable. Poor kid is just tryna be like his dad and said man has not even entertained the idea of loving him in any way. This way brushed off but man. This made me really dislike Hugo. I was especially excited to see the whole family's dynamic as 3 but Damian is barely existing lol

3) This is not too big of a problem, but the smut scenes. They made me so SO uncomfortable. "Her insides were sucking him up" (??????????) It was just very cringily written, at least for me. Skipped all of it

4) Hugo.

5) TW// in*est // The whole backstory with the Taran family and its in*est clusterf*ck made me extremely uncomfortable. That was I guess the goal, but it kinda came out of nowhere for me and it creeped me out.

[collapse]

If you like romantic novels that are targeted mostly at women, you'll definitely love this one!!

Edit: Reread some of this post pandemic, god damn its worse. I don't really care about the whole i*cest thing anymore but I hate the ML. He is such an unattractive individual. Like go touch grass and make some friends. you sore loser <<less

Very realistic. Characters are super believable and everything flows very naturally. No exaggerated drama and nothing is boring, but the steamy scenes kinda annoy me sometimes (they sometimes take up whole chapters and... chapters are precious so it's agonizing to find out that the new chapter is just fricking and not much else :'))

Love it. If you are looking for a very good read with a good story line, and a good romance for adults this is the novel for you. Note: Just ignore all the negative reviews as you will realized later on that these bunch are just blowing air bubbles and not based on what are actually happening in the story, i.e. Lucia and her mother not doing hard work to earned a living, no sense of self etc etc. I won't go beyond that, but I am sure you will... more>> agree with me when you get to the part of the story where I am now. <<less

I love this novel!! Although the first few chapters were somehow unique and left plot holes, but all the chapters afterwards are totally worth it! All of u who come for the romance, prepare for some snacks to eat while reading this. I have reread this around 3 times, and I just love the interaction between MC and ML. MC is a soft spoken person, but sometimes contradict herself (mind and in action), ML is your OP character which treat love like your everyday thing, that is... until ML met... more>> MC and fell in love with her, then ML did everything he could to please MC and love her deeply.

I also likes the R18 scene, not that vulgar but still exciting

This is such a good story!

im not just saying the story itself is good the the structure is amazing, every time I read I get pulled in! The s*x scene are 100% natural to, rather than feeling forced. I will admit that Hugo (ML) is also my cup of tea (with black hair and red eyes) but I love the way is is towards Lucia (MC) I will admit he didn’t treat her as a perfect gentleman would but Lucia knew what she was getting into.

And Lucia is such... more>> an amazing in depth character! She may not be physically strong, but her character is strong and she stands firmly!

seeing as there’s only 19chs left is a little sad, and some things seem like they won’t be answered
Spoiler

in her previous life Lucia ran a blacksmith and worked with knights, but Hugo hasn’t asked her about her knowledge at all, thought the only ones who were there at the time of her arrival was her guarding knights, the maids helping her and Jerome I really want Hugo’s take on that, but it may never be revealed.... except by accident *cough* Jerome *cough*

[collapse]

the translation is also easy to fallow, Both of them RubyMaybe and Sleepy Korean...

A Very good story if you want an enjoyable read, a great story to pull you in. It may not be fast but it’s not slow either. It a great heart pounding breather ❤ <<less

I love it.

The MC isn't really up for revenge, she just wants a peaceful life and when she got it she didn't asks for more.

The ML was an as*hole, but he never really treated the MC badly (except for being too active), right when he got married he also stopped his playboy shenanigans and unknowingly to him, gave his marriage a chance. I love his character development and just literally how he is as a main lead. Like, other ML should take notes.

It's really a fluff novel that would make... more>> you blush in most chapters. Lmao.

Anyways, I enjoyed it a lot and I can't wait for the translations to be finished. I'll be tuning in. <<less

in just one day. That's how much it's worth reading.

The MC is such a breath of fresh air. She was that character that's not hard to love. To say, her witty attitude and calm demeanor gies hand in hand gives contrast to th male lead. Hugo is one handsome guy, altho I can't like his playboy attitude but I assure you that it wouldn't last for long *insert lenny face*.

Frankly there are negative reviews totally unfair, because in truth some have understood nothing to the story I think. When we read the whole story we understand that it's not just s*x between them. There is a real universe, magic, legend, battles, a passionate and exciting love story and a very sexy male character. I really like ❤️‍🔥Hugo❤️‍🔥 because he is intelligent, handsome, very sensual and s*xual and respectful towards ❤️‍🔥Lucia❤️‍🔥. When he married Lucia he stopped having s*x with other women when many other guys would continue. Having lovers... more>> when you are not married, whether for a woman or a man, is not being dirty. Lucia discovers her sexuality with Hugo and Hugo also discovers new sensations with Lucia. I love reading and rereading Lucia, which is one of my favorite novels. Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💋 Hugo I love you ! <<less

Laugh, cry, love. If you're looking for something with maturity and the challenges of loving someone who is your opposite, this is it. The characters are genuine, filled with humanity, filled with the comedies of life. Stick it out; not everything is as it seems.

One of the first K-novels I read and will probably remain one of my favorites.

i dont care :)) I love this novel and everything about it. I like it when it's just about a couple and their own little world :)) And all they think about is the other :)) which our Hue did a good job. Our Lucia :)) 1000 points :)) gentle and lazy so she prefers staying still. She is not dumb at all so she caused no trouble. Hue just wanted to be around her so we got a pure romatic love story :)

So if you want a novel... more>> with no drama or intense events, just a lovey-dovey couple and smut :) like sweet sweet smut.

This is the best :) <<less

I very much enjoyed this beautifull story. ML's love and pampering made my heart feel warm throughout the entire novel as if I'm the one receiving it. There was never a dull moments which is rare and the bedroom scenes were lit lol. It's a excellent novel and now one of my favourites. Spoiler][/spoiler]

I feel so satisfied knowing that they ended up together in both lifetime.

One of the best writing I've read in a translated novel. I really liked the relationship dynamics too. However, it has only one problem: We are introduced to a supernatural-fantasy world with magic gates, dream worlds, overly powerful people but practically nothing happens about it and leaves the reader empty. I know it's a deliberate choice to only write about character relations but it has some left empty potentials and the world didn't engage with the plot nearly enough. That made me gave it a 4 star.

This novel is gem for a RomSmut. A very few of its genre that satisfied my expectation and i'll say I will come back again to reread/repeat: Lucia, Under the oak tree, living as the villainess, only with your heart, I dont want to be loved and new but rising - The Duke and the devil.

My first Smut Romance novel, afterward made it into allot of RomSmut novel. (Thanks that I started with Lucia and not some tr*shy novel otherwise I wont get interested on genre). I'll say titles above... more>> gave me satisfaction in reading that other titles i've been failed me if not just enough, Rom smut. Translation and authors quality of writing didnt felt strange, forced and childish (as some novels i've read has great ratings but felt like written by children. Not my cup of tea)

I just wanna give a good ratings bcs top reviews didnt justify the good read.

The novel has slow phased progress. No major conflict was ever laid except mild ones that didnt last long. I really thought more will come but it ended without a heavy action or conflict like war or something. (Well, it focuses on romance so its understandable) I was also expecting continuation on Damian and other characters life but we got none. I think these maybe the reason it felt incomplete for me in ending. Bcs I was expecting more but ended like an empty page. I would love to read Damian and her sisters novel but the author is doing 'The Great Wish'_ another good read so far. [😭 Author san consider Damian's romance continuation pls]

Does this one finally sells in english. I ask this on other cite but they only mention about epub copy cite but I want a physical copy. Please help me find sources that I might check for availability of my countrys shipment. I wanted to support the author by buying a physical copy and all other titles i've mention above 😭 yeah I am LN maniac hahaa and this is my acc for lurking Rom Smut manga or novels <<less

Reading the negative reviews make me feel like I really don't have a high and strict standards in stories, but I do think this novel is a really good read. The characters are quite loveable and managed to get me more attached in the story (maybe the reason why I don't hate the smut) There is some darkness in the story and characters but there's more fluff and sweetness, that's why this is a good, light read. The MC is quite alright, I admire her being strong without doing the... more>> superficial stuff like slapping the bad guys recklessly. Instead, she confronts them with wits and level-headedness, and even then there were limitations because she's not the smartest and wisest of all, and I like that as a character. I've seen the manhwa and I think she does appear giddy, childish and shallow to some people, hence making her unlikeable. <<less

So, Lucia... Was it good? In my honest opinion, it was alright but wanted more out of it. Nothing really happens in this story. They do setups for a couple of plotlines but then nothing happens with them or makes any conflict. The female MC is not bad tbh I read a LOT worse than her but she is nothing special and in the end, she does not do anything at all. The worldbuilding in this one is really weak too and that makes me a bit sad and makes... more>> me feel even more there is nothing big holding this world together.

Now one of the biggest problems in this story is the smut. I like smut in my story if they are written in a good manner and this was not the case at all. The smut was awkward and felt a bit too one-sided to me. I have no idea why the girl needs to be this pure thing with the best v*gina out there. She is always crying to stop and let her rest and the two times she takes the lead the author is line Nah we don't do that here lie back down and take it like a champ... So yeah, not my thing in general but would be fine for one scene but there are ALL like that! Nothing is added in any other smut scene and it gets boring really really fast because of that.

The last thing I want to end on is that the Male MC is a really jealous type. I mean sickly. Tbh, this trope does not bother me most of the time but here it went next level if you get jealous of your own child. An 8-year-old child at that! It is a comment trope in KR novels but this one went next lvl with it that it started to get insane.

Now you think if you did not like it that much why give it 4 stars? Tbh, new to placing reviews and was checking how it works, and now I can't change it but still need to check after typing this review... XD My score for this would be a 2.5/5 <<less

People that have dropped this.

You missed out...

OF COURSE the FL is submissive at first... there is a reason for that, there is a GREAT REASON for everything.

... more>> Please people, this novel is very well written, this novel should be the gold standard of reincarnator plots because EVERYTHING is properly set up and haves a great pay off.

It's based on "misunderstandings" and you want to bash the head of someone when they don't communicate properly but when the story progresses and the plot advances it's all worth it.

THAT'S CALLED CHARACTER GROWTH.

Something a LOT of novels of this kind LACK.

I understand where you're coming from because I've read novels like that, but this one isn't it.

To the people that dislike the reasoning of the female lead

SHE IS NOT YOU.

She's not a modern 2000s woman, she's a "middle ages" woman that was a sheltered princess in BOTH of her timelines.

By doing what she did she was breaking the mold so hard that it could be considered immersion breaking if not for the fact that it's properly explained that she was frikken TERRIFIED...

Everything makes sense in the setting.

To the people that dislike the ML

Everything haves a reason, and a sound reason at that.

This is simply put, the best reincarnator story I've read so far, I've read A LOT of stories with this premise, this isn't an MC just getting dragged by the plot, everything is properly set up and explained, the author never pulls out things out of nowhere to fix conflict.

The misunderstandings are there but they are appropriate for what is happening in the world.

I find it funny that I didn't review this novel the moment I finished it, I went along and kept reading other things, and I came back months later to review it because I wanted to give my thoughts only to find a bunch of people bashing it without considering the set up, technique or progression.

Before you review a work, drop your bias at the door, this isn't a modern woman, I've read plenty of stories that depict strong female characters, and our Lucia is up there given the setting and the progression of the story. <<less

Shit. I genuinely love the story.

I've been putting it aside ever since I've read the synopsis. It didn't really make much of an appeal at first. The only reason why I decided to start reading it was because I happen to ran out of novels to check.

I appreciate the translators, the effort and the quality. The details, narration and the dialogues were more than satisfactory for me. The feelings definitely reached me. I've felt sadness, loneliness, longing, heartbreak—but I also felt happiness, giddiness, contentment in little joys conveyed in the... more>> story.

This is my first time reading a story about a 'rebirth' in a sort of dream. I've only been reading stories about being reincarnated from another world so this concept have a big appeal to me. I love Lucia's character and how she's a go-getter, how she approached every situations and characters. I love ML's character development, his childish side, his huge love, and his gentleness that he only shows her. Of course, ML has flaws. He's far from perfect and has a twisted mindset and way of doing things. I can't really justify some of his actions bec of his past but I still like him, you know?

This is definitely fluff with a darker side to it. I find both's dynamic to my liking.

I'm not really that into smut but I don't find it bothersome. I actually skip most of it and just read some dialogues in order not to miss important conversations.

Each chapters were lengthy so they're mostly divided into parts buuuut I still crave for more. I want to know more about Damian and

I unexpectedly like it. The story is relatively peaceful with barely any misunderstandings, and if they did have, it'll be resolved in just a chapter. The characters are lovely, maybe even dull but its just my cup of tea. I like the barely even noticeable power struggle, the love between the MC and ML, and their son. Enemies are dealt with pretty easily. The chapters are pretty long but it's okay. The beginning of the novel (and 'till the end) was cliche, but it was obviously so in the first... more>> half. The servants at the Duchal household wow-ing at her every move or sumn like she's some kind of deity was off-putting.

Cons: Cliche beginning and the smut- I would've rated it 5 if that's not the case. I feel like every chapter has smut one way or another. I did not like that. Smut wasn't even that interesting lmao. I felt like translator used every synonym for the word v*gina and dick. Skimmed thru it 99% of the time. 4/5 <<less
