Father i don't want this marriage vol 1 by Hong Heesu

Adapted by Yuri, illustrated by Roal

A young woman dies and is reincarnated as Juvelian, the villainess in a story she was reading, who meets a tragic end. She didn't get to finish reading the book, so she's not quite sure how to avoid her terrible fate, but she's determined to use what she knows to avoid it as best she can, starting with getting out of any arranged marriage and trying to live a peaceful life away from the court drama. When her aloof father suddenly takes an interest in her, it seems her plans of skulking away will be ruined as he interprets her behavior as invitation to find her a new suitor!

There are many villainess and rebirth stories right now, but this one is interesting because it plays up the family dynamic between the. main character and her father more so than other titles. There's a good father-daughter relationship in The Abandoned Empress, but in this first volume, romance isn't as much on Juvelian's mind, so she's trying to focus on staying in her father's good graces and being societally irrelevant more than anything. Don't worry, there's some hints at a romantic love interest already and some other intrigue happening that won't let Juvelian fade to the shadows like she wants. There are some really beautiful color illustrations as showcased on this cover. Court dresses and lovely scenery abound on every page, and the men's outfits are just as beautiful.
