Got bored and started skipping and skimming chapters after like 50-60 chapters. Got to the end to see if things would turn around but…uh no. Pretty predictable ending.
⚜️ TROPES/Themes
- Criticises original story she reincarnated in
- Dotted on dby noblewomen (like a pet. Reference to title)
- Low stakes
- Finds another transmigrator
- The original FL is acting suspicious trope
- GL story (heavily implied. Not outright said)
- Feeling little chemistry between FL & Arth
- First prince is an incompetent cheater
- 🛡️Illegitimate 2nd prince famed in battle (Payne)
- The original, fighting against destiny
- A strategically instigated fight for throne
🎀 Sasha Tartt (FL)
bright, adoring, gives off a cutesy vibe sometimes
talkative. Good as putting on a face.
opportunistic parents
abusive original parents. People pleaser
♟️ Rebecca Aertsen (original villainess/love interest)
raised to be perfect as next crown Princess
kind, ambitious. Barrier of sexism in world.
training in swordsmanship (earnt skill)
close with FL (personally, more of a love interest than ML)
🐉 Naska (later love interest)
apathetic decades old dragon in body of child
prideful, brash, uncaring. Sweet tooth.
unknowing and confused by human customs
development: learns to care for humans
📚 Arth Klein (love interest)
personal aid to first prince
usually reserved. Oddly confident flirting with FL
scheming. Plays people like pawns.
rags to riches backstory
🌻 Lilith May (original FL)
escaping abusive parent
falls in love with 2nd prince, Payne

Assumptions about a woman’s moral character because they’re openly promiscuous), a bit of underlying fat phobia (eg.
