The Beloved New Daughter-In-Law of the Wolf Mansion

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Arsene, the only heir to the wolf family known for his illness, has died.

The culprits are my father and my half-sibling.

They killed the heir by lying to use the family’s healing powers.

Thanks to this, the family was destroyed, and I was caught up in it and died.

But—.

“Lady, wake up!”

When I opened my eyes, I was back at the age of seven before I died!

“Let me marry Arsene!”

I can’t die under false accusations again.

I requested a contract marriage to the Wolf family without my father’s knowledge.

After curing the heir’s illness, I was going to divorce and leave when I turned 20.

As the wolf family and our family are hostile to each other, they might hate me, but it’s better than to die motionless.

Let’s hold it in until we turn 20!

That’s what I thought—.

“Look at these fluffy feathers… how…”

“Lady, you look cute today too. Hoho, you seem to be getting cuter day by day.”

“I guarantee you, you will be the most beautiful of all the beasts at this festival!”

Strangely, the people in the Wolf Mansion like me so much?

“You’re not pretty? It looks like all the mirrors in the mansion are broken. I’ll have to ask them to buy a new one.”

My father-in-law even changed all the mirrors.

The servants wished to touch my feathers once.

Besides, my contract husband is weird, too.

I thought he was waiting for divorce whenever he had time—.

“Linsy, you’re my wife. Where are you going to leave me?”

“Now that you’re an adult, you have to fulfill your duty as a married couple.”

My adult husband’s eyes are strange.

Is this okay?

This is a really cute story that has a lot of potential! Translation is really clear and understandable. Thank you to the translator for their work!

Also - a theory that I'm gonna put spoilers on bc someone might not like to read it.

Spoiler

I think FL is actually a Phoenix. It would explain her "cursed" red feathers, strong healing powers, and ability to be reborn/go back in time. Idiot father just probably doesn't know what it is. I also suspect wolves don't have the same concept of red being bad.

Low 2 stars up to chapter 41: An unsurprising story of a girl reincarnated a few years back into her younger childhood self after a tragic death who is now determined to avoid said death, with a few superficial differences making this story slightly different from completely generic. The translation is so-so, riddled with odd and incorrect wording such as referring to feathers as hair or fur, stilted phrasing, and that annoying thing where pretty much every sentence is its own paragraph/every paragraph is a sentence so chapters look long... more>> but are actually super short. Every once in a while too it'll forget it's a first-person narrator and will break into third-person. It reads like it's been written by a 7-year-old, which is accurate to the narrator's physical age but makes it tedious reading at best, and I think is probably more due to the author than the translator.

Linsy dies when she's 12 when the wolf-family slaughters her bird-family as revenge for her father backstabbing them and mu*dering the wolf-heir. She then wakes up in her 7-year-old body determined to change her fate—not only does she not want to die of course, but her family started starving and abusing her when she turned 10 and went through her first molt only to end up with "cursed" red feathers, which even until chapter 40 has no further explanation for why this is a bad thing except "it's cursed". 90% of the story is like this, making basic statements with no further detail or explanation.

The story doesn't gain much from a child going back 5 years in time because she's still a child and despite it being even more cliché, the story would have benefited from her dying as an adult and going back in time so she'd at least have more wits and foreknowledge. As it is, everything she does is kid-simplistic at best and straight kid-dumb at worst, which does not make for a compelling story when coupled with the extremely simplistic first-person narration that describes almost nothing. Physical settings and characters are largely undescribed beyond simple details like hair/eye color or wearing clothes like a dress, action is so under-described I had to reread a scene three times to figure out that someone had jumped in front of a horse and startled it (I think?) and the person riding fell off and the horse fell on top of him and broke the guy's leg or legs (I think? Again, all of this is very unclear) and apparently the horse also broke its leg but this isn't mentioned until the next chapter, and the world-building takes the approach of just not doing it until it becomes plot relevant like when out of nowhere Linsy starts talking in sudden detail about restriction magic.

This is supposed to be a fluffy story with a lot of family doting and romance and by 40 chapters in there's none of the latter because Linsy and Arsene are both still seven years old, and as for the former, the "doting" takes the form of the maids and butler and other house servants being almost creepily obsessed with Linsy, literally staring at her all the time because she's so cute (apparently) and trying to force-feed her desserts and dress her up like a doll. The wolf-family household appears to consist solely of Arsene and his father who kidnapped Linsy right out of her own house, although supposedly it's not kidnapping because she asked to be taken to his house.

For more about how idiotic the logic (or lack thereof) and legal system of the story is:

Spoiler

Linsy "escaped"/was kidnapped by sneaking out in bird form when the wolf-dad was leaving her house after proposing that in exchange for a contested piece of river territory one of the bird family daughters be married to his sickly son with the obvious intention for them to use their famous healing magic on him. Linsy gave him a note that basically said "I'm Linsy and please take me with you", and he then literally pocketed her and took her back to his house and never contacted her family again.

As s*upid as this sounds, even the ruling judiciary power (which is also the main religious power, and it is unclear if there is a separate government or the temple is the government) agrees that an adult man secretly taking a 7-year-old girl from her family right out of their house without permission and keeping her at his house isn't kidnapping as long as it was of her own free will, even if her actual father and legal guardian thinks it's kidnapping and argues that she's been conditioned into saying it was her own choice. And even if he wants her to return home, well, the temple says if she wants to stay with the wolf-family and anyway he's already agreed to a marriage between their kids, it might as well be her even if he says he'd chosen his other daughter to send over as a bride.

Also, equally creepily, beforehand various adults of the wolf mansion including wolf-dad encourage Linsy to kiss Arsene in front of the priests and declare her intention to marry him, assuring her that if she does so, she won't have to go back home to the bird-family. When some of the priests start to suggest that maybe she ought to go home with her dad because she is just a child after all, she does what the adults coached her to do, kissing Arsene and insisting she wants to marry him, and the priests are like WELL the temple ALWAYS respects and considers the wills of parties who want to get married so even if they're only 7 years old, we must RESPECT their feelings, and Linsy can and should totally be the bird-bride and stay at the wolf-house as long as it's of her own free will.

Oh, and one additional sentence from her saying "my tutor abused me" with no further explanation or questioning is enough for the temple to immediately decree that she can stay at the wolf-house forever, period, end of discussion, nor do they actually talk to bird-dad about his allegedly abusive employee. Bird-dad is not allowed any kind of argument or rebuttal or explanation (not that he tries) and for being a guy who is painted as some kind of ambitious scheming mastermind, he's about the level of intelligence that a block of mud could easily outwit.

Incidentally, the temple's rulings in such matters are carved in stone and any objection to or questioning of their decision will result in the objector's family losing all standing and being stripped of their power and land or something, I forget the exact details because it was all so s*upid and I was skimming by that point.

If this story were better-written (by the author), it could have had a star and a half or even two added because it is trying to develop more of a plot by around chapter 25 or so and I've read plenty of stories that have basic tropes or generic characters but still manage to be engaging because they were well-written, but it's just so bland and boring. The poor translation makes it even worse. I'll maybe skim ahead to see if it gets better, but I'll probably drop it soon because I just don't care about the characters or the attempt at plot—for real, I just want to know about the red bird color thing and I don't even expect that to be interesting if it's ever actually explained. <<less

This is a very cute story, there is an actual storyline and not just simply fluff and cuteness. Where I stopped there are already some hints at something bigger going on behind the scenes.

But I decided to drop this due to a personal preference of not liking actual child main characters. Adult going back to the past and becoming a child is fine since they keep their mentality, but a child going back is still a child. Although in this one she is quite a lovable child, and I really... more>> pity her for having a tr*sh family.

So if you have no problems reading about an actual child protagonist, I highly recommend this story if you like cute stories with some serious undertones. <<less

This has yet to reveal it's potential since we're still on the 11th chapter but this is pretty good so far, my whole interest was still not captured and I still don't feel the story as of now but maybe in the later chapters. Translation is good too.

The love story is cute, I personally like this version of the regression troupe since in the case of this story since she was 12 at the time of her going back, her mental age isn’t that far off from her ML’s mental age. I find adults going back to childhood frustrating and creepy for that very reason.

main reason I can’t love this one is ... more>>
Spoiler

the FL knew from the start of her going back that her half sisters power was dangerous and what the power does but fails to mention it as a warning to anyone over the course of many years of avoidable hardship. She visibly sees multiple people who look like the life has been drained from them and never thinks to clue in her foster father.
