She said, "All this time you've been gentle? Show me what it feels like to be rough. Break me!"

"I see the princess's scheme: make a good impression and make Maxi want to see her again. If trouble arises in the capital, Maxi might persuade Riftan to go there with her to resolve any major disputes. While they're there, Agnes could make Maxi fall in love with the city and its people, making her not want to leave. This would put Riftan in a bind because he wouldn't return to Anatol without his beloved wife.

Also, Maxi was stuttering less in this chapter. Maybe she is more comfortable speaking when alone with Riftan.

I'm vibing with Elliot right now. Let the man be a background character and not have to get involved in their madness.

Her 'How dare they!' face is too much. She looks concerned for them.

I can imagine Riftan getting jealous of his own kid for getting attention from his wife.

Is it strange? I read on desktop all the time. It's very comfortable. even though reading on my surface go is an admittedly better experience.

Her acting had me dying

Different scan team this time. Leviatanscans are still doing their scanlations. But I suppose this is fine too. Considering this group doesn't beg for money or put a watermark advertising their website in each chapter.

It doesn't matter if she is a consort to the Emperor. She is going to die with an attitude like that.

This is my first time encountering a story where one character is reincarnated and the other is a regressor. I've read a couple stories where a character is both. But not one quite like this.

These chapters are so short. Better to wait half a year and read them in batches.

I mean, Estelle was never the smartest person in the room. But she should have at least looked around her and saw that things were not getting any better for the people in her country. Sure, she could have reasoned with herself that things were bad now but would get better after the war ends. But even then, she could have poked her ears into the rumors going around about the people who were executed for treason, asked her subordinates, even Khalid at the time. She just blindly followed the king to the destruction of her home kingdom.

Punches with her right, but her left hand is the one sizzling.

I think I just gagged a bit. Let's hope this is a one-time thing. He has two other girls he can pursue. Let's hope this one isn't an option.

You can just feel the author trying to justify this scene.

I don't want to undermine the challenges women encounter in the entertainment industry, but it's worth noting that men face their own struggles too. Personally, I wouldn't relish being invited to P Diddy's mansion, nor would I want to find myself in a situation where wearing a dress for an acting role is a requirement to avoid displeasing a powerful director.

I mean, what did he anticipate? He intervened when she was on the brink of jumping off her apartment balcony, demonstrating genuine care for her well-being. She writes to him daily, relying on him as her support system. If he abruptly declares he's cutting off direct involvement to adhere to the socially accepted distance between a fan and their idol, it's only natural that she'd be upset. After all, he played a pivotal role in saving her life, and some responsibility should be acknowledged.

I initially expected Ruby and Kana's feud to persist until the end of filming, thinking it would bring out the best in Ruby's performance. However, it's undeniably better when they get along. While they haven't officially reconciled yet, it's nice to see them sitting together and cordially conversing again.
