As she lay dying of disease and poverty, Bianca begs for another chance at life and receives it. She’s reborn as her 18 year old self and is determined not to rehash her previous mistakes. Within a few days, her older noble husband returns from war, and the first thing she decides to set straight is the frayed relationship they had. She wants to try to produce an heir for him and make herself valuable to the family, especially knowing his fate is to die young in battle. Bianca often misinterprets her husband’s actions, thinking he may have a mistress that she will need to overcome. But what she doesn't realize is the level of respect her husband has for her despite his inability to properly show his feelings.

Aria begins to amass wealth in preparation for her eventual doom and also tries to keep all of her various plans in motion. From her knowledge of the future, she knows how trading will be monopolized, so she decides to capitalize on the luxury good of sugar as a way to make money but also hurt the nobility. But first, she makes some money quickly at the casino that is owned by the Crown Prince. Coincidentally, she gets an invite from Lord Asher to attend a secret society type think tank where she expressed her belief that the casino was a dangerous investment for the Prince. At this and several other meetings, Lord Asher continues to confound Aria and refuse to give up his true identity.

Our villainess is an isekai-ed 30-something who finds herself in the world of her favorite otome game, though she’s been reincarnated as Luciana, the villainess. The version she’s always played was the free version, and this is the full paid for version, starting at least six months before the game actually begins. Knowing that her character will meet a terrible end, she creates a plan to live in the shadows and not attract the attention of the love interests, thereby slipping under the radar when the heroine shows up later. But details come to light and she can’t sit idly by while some folks potentially meet horrible deaths! And getting involved also leads to a revelation regarding her magic, which, to her knowledge, has been lackluster even in the game!

Abigail and Sabrian decide to start sharing a bed together, but Blanche doesn’t want to be left out. This cuts down on the awkwardness between the two parents at first. Then, the Queen Mother, Sabrian’s mom, comes for a visit, and Sabrian worries she will continue to be manipulative. She tries some of her tactics on innocent Blanche. Abigail and Sabrian converse about the best way to raise Blanche as a potential future ruler — is it better to be strict and raise her with a firm hand? Or is it better to let her enjoy her childhood and raise her with compassion? Then, a new music tutor is appointed, but Abigail gets a bad feeling from him and begins investigating his motives and family business. Sabrian also investigates, and what he finds out makes him more than a little perturbed.

Meanwhile, the Emperor’s health is deteriorating, so Ruve suggests a stay at the summer palace, which is perpetually cooler than the main imperial palace. While there, the gears of fate speed up and Jieun arrives a year early, leaving Tia caught off guard.

It's almost Abigail's birthday, and, because they're starting to publicly get along, Sabrian wants to throw her a large birthday celebration, at least as large as last year's 3-day marathon event. Abigail would love nothing more than a quiet celebration with just the three of them, but such an intimate affair would actually spark rumors again! Sabrian also struggles to find Abigail the perfect birthday present, and even presses Abigail's personal maid for some ideas. While Abigail is busy making new dresses for Blanche and herself for the parties, a mysterious illness strikes the kingdom and reaches plague-like status, and even hits within the castle walls! |
