note to self: never give your OP fake fiance's guard a handkerchief with a dragon embroidered on it
June 12, 2019
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.

Korean Manhwa (comic in full color)
I read this series years ago and remember enjoying it, so I was excited for the official English print to finally be finished so I could binge-read the series again. Unfortunately, I am giving it a much lower rating because of the harsh translating. The original site I read these on (TappyToon) had basically none of this language so it’s incredibly disappointing that it was added to the print edition.
The ending wasn’t much of a cliffhanger? So that was strange because it was pretty anticlimactic. 😅 But, that said, this is a more funny manhwa and the illustration style is very pretty, so I look forward to continuing to reread them and hope the translating improves!
**Edit to add: I decided to stop reading this English print edition of this series after Volume 4 due to the poor translation. As someone who read the Manhwa on TappyToon years ago and also chapters in the original Korean edition, the translation choices for this edition were very disappointing as they changed the tone of main characters and many conversations. This series was changed to fit the American market with curses, slang, and crude phrases that were not in the previous editions I read. These changes affected the charm and humor dramatically for this series and made it very disappointing to read. After attempting another series translated by this translator and finding similar problems, I will be avoiding all books he translates.

Main Content-
Religion-
There is a religion in this world that has to do with a goddess (it comes into play more in the rest of the series than in this volume); The greeting “may you find peace in the grace of the goddess” is said twice.
Raeliana calls Noah “a bastard eviler than the devil himself”; A side character is called the “angel of death” due to his red eyes and reputation on the battlefield.
A flashback scene of Eunha being told by a shaman that she’s “fated to have a life short-lived…”.
Mentions of praying & prayers to the gods; A mention of depravity in the church.
Magic-
Magical gates are used to go to other places (shown only once in this volume).
A few mentions of fate; A couple mentions of luck & being lucky; A mention of stars aligning.
Language + Negative-
2 ‘bastard’,
1 ‘hell’,
1 unfinished ‘holy…’,
1 ‘dumb***’,
1 ‘jack***’,
2 ’sh**’,
2 unfinished ‘what the—‘.
Other words like ‘idiot’, ‘bloody’, and ‘omigosh’.
Eunha ended up in the world of a novel after someone shoved her off a roof (and then entered woke up in Raeliana’s body and world); In the original book, Raeliana is a side character that is supposed to be murdered (by poison), so Eunha is determined to stop that from happening.
Raeliana ‘accidentally’ fires a gun and nearly shoots someone (who she is trying to break-up with).
Raeliana says she’s tipsy after a party and hungover the next morning (she throws up).
A side character was drafted as a child solider and there’s a few panels of him on battlefields with dark stains on his clothes and swords (implied blood, but is not gory); This character is part of a group of people with red eyes and it’s rumored they have red eyes because of their “fondness for blood”, but Raeliana says that is made up and defends the person.
A man comments to Raeliana about learning to “serve” her husband and obey him; The same man also grabs her wrist when she’s trying to get away from him.
Mentions of a murder, murderer, & poison; Mentions of con-men and being engaged to a woman for her money then killing her after getting married; Mentions of threats (of harm and death); Mentions of alcohol, drinking, & getting tipsy/hungover; Mentions of gossip & rumors; A few mentions of battles & child soldiers; A couple mentions of hunting.
LGBTQ + Other-
There is a male character (Monsieur Nick) that is a fashion designer that helps Raeliana with her clothes who is flamboyant & wears bright makeup, nail polish, and frilly clothes; Raeliana asks if she’s supposed to call him Madame or Monsieur, and he firmly says Monsieur; He calls her “honey” often; It’s not blatantly said if he is supposed to be French, gay, or both; After he does her makeup, Raeliana thinks “you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover”; A clip of this scene from the Japanese anime of this manhwa can be found here and shows him with a deep voice.)
Romance-
Nearness & a few touches (on the hand, face, or waist); Noah holds Raeliana’s chin and gets close to her face, so she blushes at his nearness.
A dress Raeliana wears shows a bit of cleavage in one panel (but not in any of the others when wearing the same dress); Another dress hugs Raeliana’s curves & when dancing together, Noah dips her and grabs her leg/lower thigh (just above the knee).
Another woman shows off a large amount of cleavage in one dress (she’s known to be a vixen and after Noah; 7 panels/illustrations show her cleavage (1 is a full-page and 2 are up-closes of her chest).
A side character is a young woman married to a much older man, so Raeliana calls him a “cradle-robber”.
A few mentions of another woman previously trying to seduce Noah.

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!!
May 26, 2019
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 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!

Review for complete series
Just after finally getting accepted into university after several failed attempts, Eunha dies and wakes up in the role of Raeliana, a side character in a novel whose only purpose is to die. Eunha, now Raeliana, already knows what's in the cards for her, so there's nothing left to do but change the plot and escape her fate.
Although we do get the basic origin story of Raeliana's former life, by the time the story starts she's already well established and adjusted to living in this book world. The only thing that's missing is a way out of her predicament: her fiancé, who, according to the novel, will murder her. Her best way out is to find a new fiancé instead, and so she strikes a bargain with Duke Noah, for her knowledge of the plot can help him with his political schemes.
This was a really well-balanced story, and those are often my favourites: humour, suspense, romance, and politics with schemes. Raeliana is also a really fun character. Despite being in danger of being murdered, she's actually fairly chipper and soldiers on. She's smart, and I also like that she doesn't simply fall for Noah. In fact, her disgusted reactions to any of his feigned advances are pretty fun to read about, and all of her facial expressions are funny throughout. The romance is a fairly slow burn, and it's hard to pinpoint when their true feelings begin to blossom, given that this is built on a fake engagement premise.
It was interesting to see that a fair bit of "the real world" was still woven into the plot, and I enjoyed how it was alluded to in the latter volumes in particular. Beatrice is the original main character, and part of Raeliana's worries is wondering what became of her and how things might change if she turns up again. There were a few twists surrounding her that I did not see coming. I can't say I particularly liked her, but otherwise this series has a fairly large cast with many droll but likeable characters. I was especially fond of Noah and Adam, but Raeliana's little sister was also adorable.
I am still more in favour of black-and-white comics, but this was a beautifully drawn series. Raeliana's costumes in particular were a highlight for me. I had a lot of fun with this series, and I look forward to picking up the novel series on which it is based.

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..

Watched the anime ages ago and now want to read this whole manwha. The other reason is because I was reminded of San and the Grand Duke of the North archtype of character in historical manwhas and what better than to read one of the most popular and best in the genre lol. I really like the mystery they set up straight off the bat. I want to know who pushed her off the roof and I also want to know how she transmigrated. Very very interesting. I am really liking the dynamic forming between raeliana and noah too. I can already tell I will fall in love with their romance

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"?

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.
