note to self: never give your OP fake fiance's guard a handkerchief with a dragon embroidered on it
March 30, 2020
When I realized this one was added on GR:
GOSHHH I LOVE THIS.
Literally the same premise from "Empress from Another World'' but done better.
This is one of the few "reincarnated into another word" stories I will ever consider GOOD. First of all, they actually show her face before she gets reincarnated, she's also not OP with overwhelming power or brains, she knows her limits so she studies about it. She is also the first character I've seen to be guilty towards the parents over taking over their daughter's body. She handles her emotions well and is the right amount of smart and cunning. AND ALSO I REALLY SHIP HER WITH NOAH!!!! (≧∀≦)
I really like the MC, she is so badass and not typical shojo MC. She also doesn't blush too much and is independent.
She also doesn't blush too much and is independent. I love the relationship between her and the Duke because they can stand on equal grounds. Btw, there are many hotties and I dont mind if all of them ends up being in love with her because she is such a good character!
I cant recommend it enough!!

ME ENCANTÓ
DEMASIADO!!
Es uno de los manhwas más completos que he leído es un romance histórico con un toque de fantasía y misterio que lo hace súper entretenido, original y con un plot twist bastante genial.
HISTORIA
Tenemos a una chica que está esperando para la respuesta de aceptación de ingreso de la universidad y cuando al fin le llega la respuesta es asesinada y despierta en el cuerpo de otra chica llamada Raeliana que es nada más ni menos que un personaje de un libro que ella leyó,pero Raeliana no es la protagonista y tiene una muerte trágica por lo que ella al saber sobre la trama del libro decide cambiar su destino porque no quiere morir de nuevo.
Ella sabe quién es el causante de su muerte por lo que busca la ayuda del Duque Wynight que él si es el protagonista y deciden fingir una relación y saben que en el proceso se van enamorando pero que pasará cuando aparezca la verdadera protagonista.
Raeliana me encantó, era inteligente y astuta, supo aprovechar lo que sabía del libro para salir ilesa y forjarse un nuevo destino.
A veces si me molestaba con ella por rechazar Noah pero la entendía.
Nunca cometió tonterías y con su personalidad y belleza supo atraer uno que otro interés amoroso pero ella sólo tenía ojos para Noah y siempre lo respetó a pesar de que su compromiso era sólo un trato.
Noah es un amor y DUQUE y ya saben que los duques Warm my… heart, me derriten ARE MY WEAKNESS.
Tenía esa actitud fría, emitía un aura de peligro y sobre todo era poderoso, siempre dispuesto a proteger a Reaelina y salvar en las situaciones de riesgo.
Era bien coqueto y bien de esos.
A mí Noah me enamoró.
El final me encantó y más las escenas extras no quería que se acabara, les recomiendo mucho este manhwa.

I binged the entire series in just two days—it was that addictive! Only reason it’s not a full 5 stars is that some parts felt kinda rushed, but overall, it’s a super fun read with amazing art and awesome twists.

VIDEO REVIEW HERE: https://youtu.be/Z3hgAYEBIt8
This was SOOOOOOOOO good!! Well exceeded my expectations and made me laugh SO much!!
I cannot even begin to describe how fun of a read this story is! I think it took a little time for me to get sucked in, but goodness, once I was, that was it! I could NOT stop reading!! Once I started, I could not finish until the end, and GAH! Why must I have to wait for the next volume?! This series will definitely be on my list of I-must-read-it-as-soon-as-it-arrives!
I absolutely LOVED Raeliana and how strategic she is! I also loved her surprise when things worked in how "simple" it seemed and how she adored her younger sister. I also thought it touching that she felt bad for "tricking" her "family." That was moving and really felt that. <3
Anddd ooohhhh boy! The Duke! Goodness, I will confess that he is a handsome man and could not get enough of his conversation with Raeliana! THE UNDERLYING SNARK AND CLEVERNESS!! I'm 1000% here wanting this ship to sail and am DEEPLY enjoying see things unfold because of the contract! They both have a chemistry that leaps off the page and could not stop laughing at some of their antics and conversations. SO very good!
While it was a very minor part, I absolutely loved the conversation about not judging others based off their looks nor looking down on someone because of their race. Very minor, but very powerful and speaks a lot of Raeliana's character.
The art is GORGEOUS!! Very shiny and colorful and keeps you admiring every page even if you're trying to focus on reading the dialogue! LOL!
I thought the story was also very good and loved how the author wove in small tidbits of world building without being overwhelming. Well done!
I so much enjoyed this first volume and so sad that it's over! Raeliana is such a fun character to follow and even more so when Noah is involved (though she would probably not like me saying so LOL)! I truly cannot wait to read more in this series and look forward to the anime as well! Highly recommend!!

Very interesting starting point. I usually like this isekai set ups, that makes for crazy misunderstandings and fun. In this case, Raeliana seems very well adpated to her new world, let's see if what she knew still stands when she starts changing the plot she knew to her convenience.
If you're not sure if this manhwa is for you, you can read it legally and for free at Tapas app.

I love this more than life itself - I mean, fake dating, awesome characters, and beautiful art? It literally has everything. And yes, we are ignoring the fact that this started my ongoing manhwa addiction.

I love fake relationships so much!!

I won't lie, I've read this multiple times already. I am even in the process of buying the original light novels this series. I fell in love with Raeliana and Noah. And one of the many reasons for my loving this series is due to Raeliana not being blind and to denial how people are or who certain people feel for her and her ability to be honest and say exactly what needs to be said. But she isn't perfect and can miss the mark sometimes :)
Lovely isekai romance story. Simple, witty, charming and with a touch of mystery I am still waiting to uncover.

This is funny 😂💖💖

This is my favourite Manga to date. Noah's in so much trouble for Raeli it hurts. I want him. Raeliana is so hilarious. This Manga is hilarious. I love their relationship so much. The hand holding, the small touches, their banter. Season one was generous!

Je considère PAS les mangas comme des livres à noter sur Goodreads mais bon puisque ce manga m'a pris beaucoup de temps j'ai décidé de mettre une fin à cette lecture.
Une amie m'a proposé la lecture de ce manga pendant Les dernières vacances et depuis ce moment-là je suis devenue accro.
C'est le type comédie romantique avec une bonne dose de la fantasie.
Le manga est actuellement arrivé au chapitre 112.

Not sure how I missed rating and reviewing this one.
I love the artwork, the story, the characters, all of it. Only complaint is it does the whole cliffhanger thing and it ends up going in a way I COMPLETELY didn’t see. But I love Nick! He’s the best!
4 solid stars.

A Korean woman named Eunha Park dies and ends up resurrected or reincarnated in the storyline of a novel she once read. It's a fantasy world that's vaguely based on 19th century England with members of the aristocracy all plotting about the arranged marriages that will best advance their status. Knowing her character, Raeliana McMillan. is doomed to be murdered early on in the plot, Eunha seeks to rewrite her fate.
It's a manhwa adaptation of an online novel and the concept isn't that original, so it all feels mild and watered down, but my library has the second volume so I'll give it one more try before letting it drop along the wayside.

At first like any isekai I’ve read, the way the MC dies is mostly over the top. I did get into it from the very start though but it became a drag fest after reading 26 chapters of this. I do understand why people might like this manhwa but to me, I felt the plot was poorly done and pretty generic enough if you ask me..

I loved the anime, but since it only has one season, I needed to know how the story ends. so far so good.

The art in this isn't my favorite but I really like the story so far (and series openers are the worst, but that's on me, not the book!)

Season 1: (chapters 1-50)
Vol 1: (Chapters 1-16)
Storyline: After dying in her own world, Eunha wakes up in a novel as the young woman Raeliana. She has everything going for her new life, a kind and relatively wealthy family who loves her...but she then remembers the plot of this book....Poisoned to death by her own betrothed?!
Eunha didn’t wake up in a novel’s story just to get killed off again as an unfortunate extra! To be used as a plot line for the main leads! No, in this world Eunha needs to take control of Raeliana's life and survive!
To change her story she needs a cover… 6 months pretending to be the fake fiancée of the novel’s male protagonist, Duke Noah Wynknight. But will this cold-hearted, angel-faced demon of a man really help her avoid another ill-fated ending?! Or will she be cursed to "die young"?

There seems to be flux of reincarnation stories coming out in the manga world these days. This book, being another example of “I died and came back as this” story.
So with that said, this particular one, instead of coming back as a slime or goblin, Raeliana, a novelist in her previous life, comes “back to life” in one of her very own stories. A romance novel! She knows all the ins and outs of what’s going on in the drama, but she has no way of getting out of her situation.
Full color rendered panels, beautifully drawn characters, the story takes place in the 1800’s and there are devious plans afoot. Hardly an action manga, How Raeliana ended up at the dukes mansion is an interesting plot that develops at a medium pace. Both her and the duke each have their own means to use one another, and volume 1 ends with a cliff hanger that will certainly intrigue audiences hungry for day time soap operas.
4 out of 5 stars

Fue tan divertido y cliché como esperaba. Nuestra protagonista es arrastrada a dentro de un libro, pero como un personaje secundario cuya muerte provoca que la protagonista vuelva a la ciudad y resuelva el asesinato. Sin embargo, al conocer el libro ella no quiere morir y hace todo lo que está en su poder para evitar tal destino, es así como termina fingiendo ser la prometida de un duque.
Me gusta que la protagonista sea tan inteligente y sepa salir de situaciones, no es la típica chica que se deja llevar. Además usa lo que sabe del libro y de libros en general para sobrevivir.
Ahora, es la típica historia con romance falso, distintos personajes masculinos que se sienten atraídos por ella y así sucesivamente, pero es divertido.

This manga is completely in color which really compliments the lovely art. The story is the standard reincarnated into a novel trope and the fake-fiancé premise. Raeliana has made a bargain with a smiling devil to get out of an engagement with a fiancé fated to murder her. But has she traded one bad fiancé for a more dangerous one, and will her foresight save her this time? This volume was a strong start to this new series. I am excited to see where it goes.

This was probably one of the funniest things I have read in a while, I ADORED the dynamic between the main leads and I cannot wait until they start to develop feelings for each other, so good, so good.

La historia está bien para pasar el rato. Es entretenida, pero tiene sus fallas. Por ejemplo, en algunos capítulos tenía un ritmo y cortes extraños. (Esto esta mejor trabajado en el anime, donde meten algunas escenas de relleno que mejoran la fluidez de la historia).
Un tema que personalmente me estresaba bastante era la posesividad del protagonista masculino.
Destaco mucho la subtrama política y el toque paranormal, que es lo que mas me interesó. Me hubiese gustado ahondar más en ciertos personajes.
A veces se dejaba muy de lado cosas que pasaban para retomarlas más adelamte en que uno quedaba "ah, verdad que esto estaba pasando y se supone que es un punto importante". Tuvo un buen plot twist, pero de ahi era todo muy evidente jajaja
El final es cliché, pero como es lo que uno espera de esto, está bien.
Buena lectura de domingo. En mi caso, debía leerlo todo de una para poder sacar esta historia de mi sistema y seguir con mi vida jajaja
