I read this sometime around December last year, and it left quite an impact on me, so I don't know how the hell I managed to forget to add this to the list. Anyways, this novel is right up my alley. FL, after recollecting memories of her past life, doesn't magically acquire a whole new saintess/good girl persona, and instead, remains the hot, bad bit*h that she is (in my opinion, she had every right to be angry at her shitty family who puts her distant cousin first before their OWN f*ckING DAUGHTER/SISTER????). She just chooses to spend her life idyllically painting her old tragedies away with our lovely and adorable Mary at her side,... more>> despite the pathetic rats who keep sneaking and squeaking their way in her little world.

Also, fair warning, this book has undertones of depression, and understandably so, considering how much her own family and servants villainized her for standing up for herself (even though she went about it the wrong way. Which is sad because she never had anyone to direct her on the right path and it took her a near-death experience to realize that.)

P.S. I loved how the translator put a spin on the title and incorporated 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man', a novel which has several plot points that are kinda similar to what our FL went through. I thought it was brilliant and anyone who says otherwise shouldn't be trusted. <<less

Still too early to tell how good of a read this will be, but 12 chapters in (at the time of writing this) and I'm... more>> already hooked. There's suspense/mystery, and FL is a quiet but OP munchkin, so of course I'll be staying for the ride o((>ω< ))o <<less

I'm a sucker for angst. The story felt so real, I couldn't tell they were characters in a book at all. I almost thought I... more>> was reading from someone's diary and it made me feel like a peeping tom. Out of all the novels in this list this one hit me hard the most. <<less
