| Raelina should honestly be much more careful from now on....she's not in her real world anymore. All risks concerned, this anime does push her to be an independent person and someone who isn't afraid of taking risks. Not sure how I feel about Noah after this episode but other guys are also worth to keep an eye on, like Adam. |

| Wait, what? Was ice cream already discovered in the era of kingdoms? This is interesting because I thought ice cream was a modern dessert. To finalize the official contract, Reliana went alone to the Wynknaight family's house. The transaction material used by Reliana was the "Gem Seal". She tried to convey the information that Noah was keeping the Gem Seal, which was the trump card in the conflict between the new and old aristocrats. However, her efforts failed, and Reliana faced the possibility of a failed transaction. At that time, she noticed a chessboard placed in an unusual way. The king chess piece was alone, and there were missing pieces? I don't know the meaning of this chessboard. If you're watching the sub and know the meaning, could you tag me, tysm... The deal was finally reached, and Noah signed the agreement. Noah would assist Reliana if Reliana needed help. In the prologue, Adam, Reliana really had spoilers that she got in real life. Escorting Reliana was actually not necessary, but... Elma was really worried about Reliana. Regarding Amon, Amon gave chocolate, and this was also surprising. Isn't chocolate a modern dessert? Rosemary looked like an angel, and this prayer system was also similar to Japan. Sending prayers through balloons was really unique, but nothing is impossible in the world of reincarnation. I was surprised that Adam liked sweet food. Rosemary handed over chocolate to Adam. I like how Adam getting interested to with Reliana.  |
| Raeliana finding herself in Noah's home fully recovered from the hangover, and having to call off the engagement in a tact way that doesn't affect both families, which thankfully Raeliana's parents took it with heart that she decides to find love instead of business, in a body that isn't her own. Noah wanting to talk to Raeliana about the royal seal, and she knows it because he has it, but it's just that this is all for show, a cover of the nobility and the novel that Raeliana read in her past life. Knowing that the Duke isn't one to tolerate BS, Raeliana tries all she can to convince him but to no appeal, until she tries to play the psychology game by using the novel's events to trade with him, which it worked. Raeliana's contract which calls for her to be his fiancé, but of course, how can she tell him of the source being the novel, it would be a preposterous idea. So, the contract calling for 6 months, it may look like a farce, but this deal is marginally even more dangerous than what came before with the Brooks family. Having the Observer Adam Taylor look after her, it's more a threat than actual protection, Raeliana has to add the bridal training in preparation for her time into the Wynknight family, while the servant Elma is her only confidante in this manner. With younger sister Rosemary praying on her own and of a good marriage between Raeliana and Noah with a balloon that sends the message to the gods, getting it stuck onto a tree branch is unfortunate, though the aloof Adam would strike as someone with feelings, just that he's not outspoken. The less child-like Adam together with Raeliana moving into the Duke's mansion, the fateful day has arrived to move the chess pieces even more. |
 |
| the contract is sealed raeliana is now at the dukes mansion and we now know why she is ther in the first place so now hat we know the reason there i no need to watch more |
 |
| Realina is really smart through she has read the novel but i like the way how she interact with duke wyneknight. This isekai is something else that then the avéré isekai nice i like it. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| i like it so far. the duke is definitely suspicious, but im still not sure exactly why. i think with raeliana veering off the course of the novel, something might get messed up and turn out bad. adam is definitely intimidating, but he's a sweetheart too. seems like there might end up being a possible love interest there? or maybe just a close friendship. either way id love to see more of him |

| The pacing is really slow. With how thing are going, they won't even reach half of the manhwa's story, so there better be a second season. Rik225 said: I don't know what was the significance of that "bishop" move, but this was the trigger to accept the deal. Not the deal at that point. It just showed to Noah, that Raeliana has a real and valuable source (about both the seal's location and politics) and he wanted to find out, who that all-knowing source is. |
 |
| nice episode. Even a MONKEY can understand how to write a contract so you won't be deceived -- ha ha had me laughing for a moment |
 |
| The parents are actual MVP of this episode. They readily accepted the rejection and had no hesitation. That book must be the real deal. I mean she managed to strike a deal with this smart ass devil. |
 |
| Yeah I'm guessing that meek knight isn't the last super handsome male who would end up around our heroine. This is fine as long as they don't bring any unnecessary drama.. the kind which we usually see in any of those korean works. |
 |
| This episode was good. It was amusing to see Raeliana gush over Rosemary, she's cute so I can understand it but it was more than I anticipated. |
 |
| I love how Raelina was hoping Noah would tell her to wait and stay when she was about to head out lmao. Chad move from him With this being a manwha I’m looking forward to some kdrama style tension. Taylor looks like he may be a little sweet on raelina, pun intended. Adam is another one who could potentially join in on that. I like how the parents didn’t really get upset with her calling off the engagement. W parenting. |
 |
| I need more scenes with Noah, at this point they are just teasing! Raeliana has some interesting expressions, like she can't be bothered to keep a mask, or maybe we are just witnessing her inner thoughts. Looking forward to more. |
  |
| Looks like Realina and Noah finally made the deal and for six months at least, he's gonna act like her fiancee. But, I think there's definitely some ulterior motive behind all this. The white knight, Taylor looks like a serious guy but does have a cute side. Nice. |
 |
| Well I think the duke using raeliana's faking their engagement to fend off any marriage/engagement proposals Thats win-win solution |
 |
| I love the scene where Raelina tells her parents that she's calling off the engagement with her current fiance, and how she's breaking down inside for basically taking advantage of her parents' kindness and understanding (W parents, btw) for her own benefit, acknowledging that she isn't even their real daughter. I wonder if the real Raelina switched places with uh, Raelina, and now she's in the real world. Although that would mean she would probably be dead, since that body got pushed off a building by that mysterious figure.... w/e, doesn't matter most likely. Actually it's not so bad when you remember the og Raelina was supposed to die. So in a way, Raelina kept their 'daughter' alive. Was also wondering why no one seems to be overly shocked at what should've been a sudden change in Raelina's character, since it is someone else inhabiting her body after all. Then I remembered, oh right, Ms. Park here has read the whole story and knows how the og Raelina acts like. As for the contract, the Duke signed it, but like, what other option was there besides silencing Raelina for good by killing her? Which, isn't really an option in itself because everyone would be wondering why Raelina disappeared suddenly after going to the Duke's mansion. But like, isn't it an offer he can't refuse? He wants to keep it hidden (and that's another question I have, he wants to, or is obliged to keep it hidden by the king(?) which will allow new aristocrats to rise. But like, why??), and Raelina just straight up told him that she knew exactly where it is, since she's nigh-omnipotent having read the the whole story. Surely he can't just let her go, and accept the possibility that she will go to uncover it herself?? It'll be interesting to see how Raelina continues to dodge death in this story. It looks like she already avoided the first hurdle by breaking up with the Brooks-guy who was supposed to poison her after they got married, with the objective of taking over the family's... stuff? But now what SHOULD make the story to come more intriguing is that Raelina is now changing the original events of said story. She's essentially re-writing the novel, so now she can't possibly know EVERYTHING that is to happen. Now she'll have to think somewhat, instead of just cheating by knowing what happens next. And she has proven she is smart- she has convinced the duke to sign the contract after all, somehow, by talking about chess. Also the OP goes hard and the ED is beautiful. |

| I knew Sir Taylor was gonna rescue that balloon. He still has some heart in him. Raeliana is ofc cute as ever. I wanted to see more! I am glad she did tell the duke that she felt like her life was feeling like it was in danger. |
 |
| Things are heading in an interesting direction, Raeliana trying to keep a straight face while backpedaling mentally was fun to watch, Noah seemed like he wouldn’t budge but she finally managed to get him to accept the deal, and now she needs to move there, so I guess we know why she ended up at the duke’s mansion now lol. I also really liked the addition of Adam Taylor, he seemed cold at first but he quickly melted at the sight of Rosemary and sweets lol, he’s a nice lad deep down. Also loved the amount of reactions from Raeliana in this one, I feel like that’s gonna be one of my favorite parts of this show lol. |
| feels like not much happened but i'm still digging the visuals. it seems it'll really kick off next episode though. |
 |
| The manhwa is good but the anime is SO slow paced. It's probably the budget. |

| Oh so now this has become a chess anime... |
 |
| Seems like it's following the box standard for villainess/reincarnation/otome game style plotlines. The guard is a very kind marshmallow despite looking scary...and the duke...well..he's a bit conniving..but it seems like Raeliana long caught his eye. Pacing is a little slow, but the music and the voice actors are amazing. |
| Its pretty disappointing that this series seems to have been allotted a really limited budget and is being done by a fledgling studio with a not so stellar track record. This is especially present in the really restricted animation where everything feels stiff and static. I was looking forward to this adaption too since this was one of my favorite manhwa. |
| Aw Raeliana's parents are nice, glad they immediately accepted Raeliana's wish to break off the marriage without any disapproval. But ngl I'm kinda disappointed at this adaptation so far, the animation is so minimal and I feel like the directing is really lacking. The comedy, especially, is off - I remember laughing quite a bit at the faces the characters make and the female MC's deadpan reactions in the manhwa, but while watching the two episodes I haven't felt anything at all. Only really liked the scene where the little girl gave Adam chocolates and he smiled. I also feel like the design of Adam's eyes are somehow a bit off, which is weird cause they did an amazing job with Noah and Raeliana's eyes. The pacing is really slow too. Welp it's still only the beginning though and it looks like there's still quite a bit of exposition going on, so hopefully things start to pick up in the next episode or two. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| So that's why Raeliana ended up at the Duke's mansion. Pretty good episode, a little slow, but things are coming along nicely. Raeliana's parents being supportive was great, but it's sad how she was feeling guilty about it. Rosemary kawaii! Adam definitely gonna be a good boy though. 6 months huh, that's more than enough time for their fake engagement to become real, let's get to it. |
 |
| Who the heck decides on titles like " Even a monkey can understand how to write a contract" in 19th century era? Looks like breaking the 4th wall So Taylor overheard their conversation? Definitely looks like it's going to have some repercussions later on... The mind games are making this show interesting. |
| She's more tough compare to most MC in otome anime, I thought she would be soft but she's able to stand her ground. It's very different and interesting to see both have tough personality. |

Rowd said: Yeah I know what you mean, it's like this anime is just going through the motions of an adaptation. The pacing is at a snail's pace and there's no tone! It's like they're dragging out 2 chapters an episode with still, lingering frames when they could have easily improved the pacing by cutting out some boring parts and covering more chapters. Its pretty disappointing that this series seems to have been allotted a really limited budget and is being done by a fledgling studio with a not so stellar track record. This is especially present in the really restricted animation where everything feels stiff and static. I was looking forward to this adaption too since this was one of my favorite manhwa. The direction has also been taking the tension out of some scenes, like the negotiation scene between Raeliana and Noah. I wish an experienced studio with a bigger budget had adapted this. An adaptation should enhance a work and its charm, not make it worse. |
| I would have loved it but I don't know... something doesn't add up yet (but I guess you can't expect that from the second episode so I hope it's on purpose). That's why I only liked it. So Raeliana changed the entire plot of the book (or at least who's taking which role) and prevented her fiance from murdering her (if it's over at that). I wonder what direction they will take from here on because it actually means it will soon backfire since she changed the plot of the book which makes her knowledge about the story (and its characters) less predictable the more time passes. I do feel like I'll like Noah because making him seem kind of sus and like a bad guy is such a K-Drama move. I'm also curious about our MC's personality and character development. I'd like to see more of "her" instead of her just surviving. |

| This has been interesting so far, hopefully there's some drama and plot twists to spice things up, progression is a bit slow but overall I like what I'm watching, the anime clearly is low-budget but apparently they know how to handle this just fine, it doesn't look bad. |
