Most manhwa now follow the same plot of deconstructing the typical fantasy that is considered outdated. The FL is either a regressed empress/queen/Duchess or a isekaied woman from modern day Korea, the ML is first said to be a cruel man with a long history of death (the Duke of the north if you will), the ogfl is a green tea bitch who gets shit on for being the old school woman, and add a few devoted characters (usually maids) for taste, so for a book that is basically everything these manhwa try to deconstruct, it's an easier read

Dont get me wrong, it's far from perfect and the plot does absolutely drag on but it's so much easier to get behind since the protagonists aren't total douchebags all the time that your supposed to justify, the villain is competent and puts up a fight, and yes while most of the other characters like the maids or other nobles are just there for background support they aren't nearly as insufferable.

The FL Yerenica gives me more embarrassment than old videos of 5 year old me dancing to Taylor Swift but she still works for the most part and I think it's because she's a girl-failure in the good sense, where she's still an entertaining protagonist with her own misguided viewpoint ironically making her more flawed and relatable than the current mary sues

Here she straight up asks the guy who kidnapped her to marry her, and (un)surprisingly Erudian acts like most people would and turns her down (they do get together later and while I do not like the kidnapper-hostage relationship, it's tolerable i guess)

Honestly in any other media, Yerenica would be the green tea bitch who'd be torn to shreds by the fan base and be known as the resident trashta of Soleias story, probably why I could get behind her a little

Speaking of Soleia, For something so stereotypical they even manage to deliver a smart villain in the form of this badass. Great backstory, a twist that reveals she doesn't even love Erudian, and even a redemption. One of my complaints though is for a character that is described by all as a terrifying threat, she doesn't show up often

When she does, Soleia knows how to pull it off but alas, she's only needed when the plot calls for it

Erudian is.. well he's there, the basic scary love interest who has a soft spot for sweet ol Yerenica and doesn't want to marry Soleia, I don't really care about him but I don't dislike him either, pretty basic but I've seen worse ML. There are unfortunately translation issues where Yerenica calls him dad which is super uncomfortable but I've read versions where she just calls him "Dekalbs dad" so I'm gonna hope to God that whole father Schick was an error

My Yeni looks so mature and became prettier 😭❤️

Euredian's new hair style made him look like a sugar da—👀

Excuse me, I'm gonna log off to celebrate 🎉🎉🎉

SO MANY FLUFFY MOMENTS

THE WAY HE HUGS HER??!?!? THE WAY HE CARRIES HER!??? THE WAY HE'S SO PROTECTIVE AND LOVING AND CARING AND SWEET BUT KINDA JEALOUS AND I'M HERE FOR ALL OF THAT!!!!! I'M FALLING THROUGH THE SCREEN OKAY!!?

THE WAY HE WAS IN LOVE BEFORE SHE REALIZED SHE WAS TOO!?!?! THE WAY HE WAS READY TO LET HER GO BACK TO HER COUNTRY CAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT HER TO BE IN DANGER EVEN THOUGH HE WANTED HER TO BE NEXT TO HIM!!?

I saw some comments saying that Yerenica from Seduce the Villain's Father is just like Rashta of the Remarried Empress. This is because Yerenica acts cute, playful, and wanted to stop the upcoming marriage of Erudian.

Okay, first of all... How dare y'all disrespect Princess Yerenica Lebovny??? She is way too different from that Trash in The Remarried Empress.

Rashta acts cute and naive to fool the people around her. She plays innocent yet she's very cunning, manipulative, and selfish. She wanted everyone to like her and doesn't seemed to understand why Navier is uncomfortable whenever she flaunts that Sovieshu, that bitch of a man, is in love with her. For pete's sake, she wanted Navier's title, as if ruining her marriage wasn't enough.

On the other hand, Yerenica entered the palace with the intention of saving Erudian as he is destined to die at the hands of his own son. She sacrificed herself to replace her sister as she was pregnant at that time and she knew how much her sister and her niece would suffer.

Yerenica is naturally cute, naive, and kinda childish. It's her personality from the start! Do not disrespect her by saying how similar her actions are with Rashta.

Thank you for reading my pep talk and yes, this is a rant lmao.
