A PLACE TO RETURN― NOT FOR THE RAELIANA McMILLAN WHO WAS…BUT FOR ME.
Raeliana is putting on her detective cap! Set on unraveling the secrets behind her strange reincarnation, she starts digging into original-Raeliana’s past―which happens to entail an extended leave from the duke’s mansion.

With plot point after plot point from the novel playing out, will Noah’s heart join in following destiny’s script…?

Raeliana is finally beginning to accept that the story is changing, and maybe that's actually what's best.

His holiness truly cares for Raeliana, and Noah will do anything to keep her safe. I hope they can figure out what to do to help her stay in their world. And I hope she can learn to trust Noah with her heart.

I feel there is SO much to unpack with this volume so I'm going to break up my thoughts by the chapters because there is so so so much I loved!!
First, "Grandpa" has really rubbed off on me! I really didn't like him at first but his relationship with Raeliana is so special and definitely made me tear up at one point because he really is filling that role in her life. He's crazy and childlike often, but his love and affection for Raeliana is so sincere! I desperately hope that he can help Raeliana with the things they are discovering and wondering!
Which leads to my next point! The mystery that is looming over Raeliana and her search for answers. I find it interesting that she has ZERO memory of the previous Raeliana. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing, but the answers point to "not good" at the least. I hope things that the previous Raeliana did really doesn't affect our current wonderful Raeliana because I need her to see that she is loved for HER, not the PAST her. This is especially true between things with her and Noah.
And I am SO glad and grateful that he is pursuing her! The romance felt a tad lacking, but ONLY because Raeliana is "fighting" him so hard. (Girl, stop fitting him!!!) I absolutely loved loved loved all the moments with him and the things he said to her! His affection for Raeliana is also genuine and truly hope that Raeliana will return his affections because it's obvious that she cares for him too.
But GAH! The commander! I REALLY like his character and just need him to be in some other manhwa and have a happy ending that does NOT involve our ship (because that ship MUST sail)! LOL! He's a fantastic character and so kind (and super cute too!), but he does not hold a flame to Noah and really want him gone as much as it hurts to say that. LOL!
Lastly, WHAT WAS THAT CLIFFHANGER! GAH! These endings always leave me wanting to read ahead online, but telling myself to refrain because I always love the opportunity to binge read these volumes so much! LOL!
Random favorite moments: The night market and seeing Raeliana totally slay (LOL), Raeliana totally not knowing what to do when the Duke says how he misses/wants her, Sir Whitton and how expressive he is, and Noah coming to the tea party.
Overall, hoping for Raeliana to come around, her find more answers, and that she can be happy without worry! <3 Another fantastic volume!

Madre mía, qué finales tienen estos tomos. Es que te pasas todo el tomo viendo que es un poco de transición todo y entonces llega el final y se te vuela la peluca, increíble.

Okay, this volume felt more cohesive. Raeliana and Noah’s moment remain very cute, buts it’s not quite enough for me to forget how meh the plot execution has been. I forgot Noh even got his first glimpse of Beatrice in at the beginning because it was so irrelevant. Curious as to the cliffhanger fallout.

I need the translations for this series to make haste, I'm simple-minded and only speak english.

MUY interesantes las averiguaciones de Raeliana, parece que todo está más relacionado de lo que parecía y me pregunto si Brooks podría estar compinchado con alguien más que no sabemos... aunque me extrañaría que la Raeliana del mundo real no lo supiera al leer la novela.
Uf tremendo el final!! La historia claramente ha vuelto a cambiar en el que seguro que era un punto importante.
Noah es un simp de Raeliana and I love it.

This series is so interesting! I am not sure how it will end and the mystery continues! Raeliana is using her background knowledge to help avert crisis. Also is Beatrice a villain???? Ah Noah!! Hilarious side characters. :D

There was a lot of mystery to this one, and there is some good progress with Noah and Raeliana.

Reread: November 19, 2025
Accidentally reread this volume because for some reason I'd looked at my Goodreads list and thought I'd stopped at Volume 4. I was wildly confused when I got to the Justin + the ring scenes and started suffering through some serious deja vu...
It was a good one to reread, though, especially since I'd fallen massively behind, and can now plunge through the full series in one go now.
Original Review: January 22, 2024
Ahhh I loved this one! And now it's absolute misery because it's going to take forever to wait for the rest.
The political stuff is still a little bit muddy, but there's at least a clear villain this time, and more details emerging about all the plots that Noah and the king have been wrapped up in. After all, that's how Raeliana bargained her arrangement with Noah to begin with - by knowing about the hidden royal seal and some of the moving parts in various families' split loyalties.
I really have no idea what was going on with the original Raeliana and the dark arts, or how much she was involved in all these underworld dealings. Is there a reason the new Raeliana ended up in her body, specifically? There's a lot more thought going into this plotline than I was expecting, honestly, since it's a common enough trope.
Less important question: I wonder if Raeliana will end up working in the royal library. The exhausted librarian made a point of how overworked and in need of help he is, and that would be right up her alley.
I'm not loving Noah's flash of fate-recognition when he bumped into Beatrice in the night market - did she do that intentionally? - but he's still utterly in love with Raeliana, and I simply don't see that changing. Do love the ache of him being convinced he's fighting a losing battle with her, but staying loyal and kind regardless.
One particularly impactful piece of this volume was the idea of home. Raeliana goes "home" to her parents' house for a few days, to try to investigate the missing memories she has of the original Raeliana, but finds herself feeling pretty out of place there. She knows the people, but it's not where she actually grew up or where she belongs.
But when she goes back home with Noah - who makes a surprise appearance to support her mother in her attempts to show up the snobby, patriarchal nobility - she finally realizes that it is her home. Noah, this house, these rooms, the paintings...all of it is something she chose for herself, and the memories are entirely hers.
It's a pretty big realization. And it will make it that much harder for her to walk away, as she still thinks she has to do.
Really wish I could get my hands on the rest of the series right away, but I'm definitely looking forward to the next one now.

Il faut avouer que mes lectures espacées ont souvent eu raison de mon appréciation de la série, mais cette fois ô miracle, j’ai repris et suivi on ne peut plus facilement. Est-ce à dire que la narration s’améliore également ?
Je pense que le fait de se focaliser plus sur une seule ligne narrative a aidé cette fois et j’en suis ravie. Raeliana s’interroge sur le passé de celle dont elle a pris le corps et effacé les souvenirs. L’occasion quand elle rentre un peu chez elle de mener l’enquête.
Autant la romance de l’histoire, je peine à m’y intéresser et à la trouver convaincante, il faut dire que Wynknight me met des plus mal à l’aise quand il joue les séducteurs affable…, autant si on part sur une enquête, je suis de suite plus partante ! Je me suis amusée de la voir interroger maladroitement son entourage. Comment peuvent-ils ne pas trouver louches ses questions ? De la même façon, c’était entraînant de la voir sur la piste de son alter ego et cela pose des questions pour nous dont on a hâte d’avoir les réponses. Enfin, le petit twist final où elle brusquement mise en danger, bien que sortant de nulle part, fait bien son petit effet.
Par contre, il faut que les autrices arrêtent avec les triangles amoureux x harem, surtout quand elles se prennent au sérieux. C’est ridicule, pas crédible et inutile. L’arrivée du Commandant façon beau gosse amoureux de sa personne et égocentrique qui craque pour l’héroïne et se moque qu’elle soit fiancée, c’est vraiment too much…
Sympathique webtoon isekai, Raeliana se présente comme une aventure divertissante et facile où son héroïne prend enfin son destin, autre que matrimonial, en main et ce n’est pas trop tôt. Reste pas mal de scories dans la narration entre l’écriture facile des personnages, les romances ridicules et les aventures sorties de nulles part qui manquent de crédibilité, mais c’est amusant à suivre.
