“꿀과 설탕을 듬뿍 바른 아첨으로 아버지를 대신해 벨루아를 지킬 거야.” 열아홉, 폭군의 손에 나와 내 가족의 목숨이 단두대 위에서 잘려 나갔다. 그 후 눈을 떠보니 열두 살의 생일파티 날. 나와 가족을 구하기 위해 나는 폭군의 눈에 들기로 결심했다. 그리고……. “전하의 것은 아끼신다고 하셨죠? 그럼 제 모든 것을 가져주시고 아껴주세요.” 제가 정말 잘해 드릴게요. 그러니 폐하, 또 죽이진 말아주세요!
Great Manhwa I am so glad that I stuck through this one. I was so worried it would be cliché. It still has those elements of a basic regression, Manhwa. Despite that, the storytelling is pretty great, and the character development is stellar. It's not often you see Manhwa's where the characters are deeply conflicted with their thoughts and emotions. The main character isn't overpowered: she isn't a Mary-sue, she's pretty ordinary, and it's refreshing. They're also three-dimensional characters: even Tory, who doesn't get that much story time, is at least a two-dimensional character. This story is a step down from 'Who Made Me a Princess' (a great Novel and Manhwa). It feels like genuine thought was put into the plot, and honestly, I didn't see the twist coming. Instead of throwing hints every ten seconds, they focused the plot and your attention on other areas. An effective way to write a successful plot twist. I highly recommend this read: if you push through the first few cliche chapters, the payoff is worth it.
