I don’t understand the lack of enthusiasm for this one, because in its category it’s one of the best.
First of all, the art is exquisite. I absolutely adore it. But it’s far from being its only good point : the storytelling is on point, the characters are amazing, the plot intricate enough to be interesting to me, and the pace is fantastic (not too fast nor too slow).
The fl is resourceful but doesn’t show off her adult-like intelligence, she behaves as a mature child but still as a child. I like that she’s capable but not OP. I have had enough of mary sue and I was very pleased to see that Tia wasn’t one among many. I also like that the other characters are not just here to showcase her abilities, they have their own personalities and goals. For example I really liked the fact that the first prince didn’t fall in love with her just because she stood up to him. The same goes for her stupid cousins (Belesac and his acolyte), they don’t change their ways just to appeal to her after being beat up. I also have high expectations for the romance with the second prince, the chemistry seems wonderful from the preview and I can’t wait to see how they will get to that point.
The adults are also sensible here, and seem to have things going for them independently from the children.
Yeah, it really is a great one, exactly what I’ve been looking for in this sub genre.

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t stumbled yet upon the ones you guys have read, but the closest one I can compare it to is Lady Baby and they are nothing alike. Lady Baby was a big disappointment, this one is everything it claims to be. I can’t wait to read more 🔥

Anyways, Tia and her dad are the best. Her grandpa comes 2nd lmao. 3rd is her aunt, 4th are the twins and her teacher, and her cousin Larane/Anne (the female one).

You say her dad's weak? Well..


EDIT: Oh yeah, we finally see male lead. He's cute. But since he's still young and they didn't show him much, I'll just say he's cute and pitiful for now.

Classic formula at this point but the heroine is cute, resourceful and engages with her new found infantile environment in a fun way. Attractive characters designs and art make this one to keep an eye on. Yes it is by the books so far, but there is a reason we are all reading the endless bounty of this sub-genre. Check it out.

I believe I shall master this family is one of best webtoons available

I really love all the stories from Ant Studio! All the stories are interesting and the art are really beautiful, my favorites are this manhwa and the villainess reverse the hourglass!

For the story maker, the storyline is very good, fresh and interesting😌❤️, I Love You!

Why some of the comments say this manhwa just a copy-paste story done with zero imagination, because it's not,, this manhwa is one of the best manhwa because it's not just focus on the romance like other manhwa and how they telling the story is also so well written, every chapter so intriguing that make me can't stop to look forward to read the next chapter

It may be trope-y but I absolutely adore the determination from FL and the attachment ML has towards her. Definitely re-reading it when a few more seasons are updated.

I really liked this in the beginning. The FL used her knowledge from her previous life to make better choices the second time around. It also seemed more realistic where there were gaps in her memory and she didn't remember everything clearly due to being focused on surviving in her previous life. Also the art is stellar.
However, I'm so bored now. I wanted to wait until the series finished to write this review, but I keep wondering when it's going to wrap up already. The FL is too OPed, she can be super snobby about her family name/backing, and it's so repetitive with everyone being shocked at her talents for her age (especially because it's her 2nd attempt, and she's therefore much older). In the most recent chapters, she's also magically good at things she didn't experience in her past life If anything, there is more of a plot with the ML, and I'd rather follow his story over watching the FL just become more rich.

Reviewed @ch127

This is a reeeaally good political drama. A step behind The Villainess Lives Again (which is flawless), so about a 9.x/10 rather than 10/10. But really good.
Also, interestingly enough, is one of the very few series that combines Isekai with the 'Returnee' premise.
The political plots and planning take place faar in advance of when the Returnee knowledge is relevant. In fact one thing that makes this so great is how the political drama/planning begins so early (when she’s 7) that her advanced knowledge isn’t that advantageous in many areas, and instead it’s her maturity and skills/knowledge that kick in, avoiding her feeling OP or too advantaged and making her accomplishments feel earned and the challenges feel harder and more real. Nor does it fall into the trap of making other characters dumb so our mc looks smart. There are many smart characters in this, our mc is just able to leverage what she has very effectively.
To repeat, she does NOT feel OP, because everything is taken so realistically. there are many occasions where she can't just fix something because she's limited by her age and position, and decides she has to play a longer game and just quietly watch as damage is done in the meantime.
There is ONE occasion in which I felt she was 'OP', when she picked up both courtly dialogue and dancing incredibly quickly before her debut. But....that's not what comes to mind when people discuss OP. Everything else is very very much earned and there are many occasions she gets partial victories. An advantage of taking things so slow-paced, but not in a boring way. It's really well done. (my other criticism: this story would be basically the same with no Isekai. It also would be the same without 'sword aura', idk why some series shove that in there)

Also this has very strong female characters. The Aunt alone is a total inspirational badass. [You [i]are[/i] left wondering why she never intervened in the original timeline's first 10 years (after that is explained/can be reasoned). I'm guessing she never knew the extent and didn't pay attention to children who didn't stand-out (i.e. all of them) except her own.]
And YET, the male characters are not neglected. Too many Otome Isekai/Returnee/Romance-Fantasy/RoFan Political drama webtoons/webnovels have strongly developed female characters and weakly developed male character. In this series we get a wide cast with some very well done characters of both genders.

It's a really good series, if you like Political Drama or Returnee stories. Read it.

Edit: Oh and, unlike The Villainess Lives Again, this series has LOTS of cute moments to make you smile. It's a lot less dark.
edit 2: Oh wow, turns out we're only halfway into the story. Thought we were in the end game.
note: I tried some of the later fan translations. Don't read them. Stick to official translations. You need proper grammar and TL for political dramas to feel effective.
