Before the marchioness Shuri Von Neuschwanstein was granted a redo of her last seven years, she was ambushed on her way to a new life on the morning of Jeremy’s wedding. For the first time, the events leading up to her death and rebirth are revealed—along with the aftermath of the horrific event. Shuri’s death causes an uproar in the empire, especially when blame is placed on refugees from the country of Safavid. It seems the empire will go to war, unless Jeremy, Norra, and others close to Shuri can find the true culprit. Are the events of Shuri’s previous life connected to her second chance life in some way? Who, or what, brought her back from certain death—and to what end?
The hit webtoon also known as The Fantasie of a Stepmother!
This one I really liked. We got the flashback of the end of her previous life and some background about the prince and cardinal. The prince…. Seems creepy. But Norria as an adult was so handsome and his feelings were so sweet. I hope they are end game.
There is a lot of backstory in this volume, even going into events that took place after Shuri's death in her first life, which would be a complete mystery to her. Despite the new challenges with the political factions, it seems that at least the core group of characters are growing up well and forging new bonds that are good to see. Hopefully, this will continue to have a positive downstream effect, even though it seems at least the church and the crown prince have various hidden agendas that could cause more than a few problems along the way.

the found family, politics, romance, characters and lore are very interesting and blend together BEAUTIFULLY. The amount of depth given to each character other than being 'petty and mean' or 'generic evil' is so refreshing to read in the isekai community.
This genuinely has to be one of my favourites of all time. It's obvious how much detail and care the author put in this story compared to other isekai/reincarnation manhwas and I adore them for it. The art style is STUNNING.
So interesting to see the backstories of so many key characters (though it is a lot at once to get those and the details of the end of Shuri's first life), and Shuri's original death is so tragic each time I read it.
As always the art is exquisite, and I root even harder for Shuri and Norra to get together!
the sudden switch to backstory was surprising but provided interesting context on shuri's past life! her second round seems to be going much better for her, shuri really clocked the importance of building supportive relationships. i love her little mom talk sessions with nurnberger and the queen, her favored niece energy is coming through strong
This is my favorite volume yet, so I’m glad to own a hard copy. The backstory is something I wish was provided for a lot of these regression type stories when there are unanswered questions. To be honest in reading this story I hadn’t considered what emotions they were feeling in the past but the recap really exceeded by expectations. Beautiful art as always
9/24 I did not enjoy the sudden drop into lengthy backstories for most of this volume, and was glad when it finally returned to the main story at the end - took way too long to get there tho, and now I'm wary for the next volume.
