maybe it's because i'm still new to reading korean web novels, but i love this book with every fiber of my existence. some people may remark about how it has its faults, and it honestly took me a while to warm up to the male-lead (even though he's, like, super handsome in the manwha), but eventually as i continued to read, everything... just fell into place. the interactions between the characters were genuine; the development between their relationships were well-paced, so, really, there was no instance wherein i felt that it was rushed. and i like that. actually, with how much i love this story right now (and i just started reading this a few hours ago), i'm probably going to be more in-depth with my review upon finishing it. (that is to say, it's overall a very good read. i'm so excited to continue reading the next volumes!)

Season 1: (Chapters 1-40)

Somehow, after I died I was transported to a different world and found myself as the evil stepmother of the beautiful little princess named Blanche-but I inhabited a woman so jealous of her stepdaughter's beauty that she resented everything about her, and was known for her wicked deeds.

Sounds familiar?

However, as a child clothing designer in my previous life, I’d much rather shower my cute and lovely Blanche with all sorts of affection! She's just too cute!

But now the only thing that stands in my way from fan-girling my cute daughter is...my husband. While his give me and his daughter the cold shoulder he also is suspecting my extreme change of heart with suspicion. Can I get closer to the both of them with my new lease of life?

content warnings:
Spoiler rape/sexual assault


i love the idea of a re-write of the tale snow white, however, i think this one just falls a bit flat for me. i don't mind the border line of obsessed and fandom the step-mom has for her daughter, but at times it can be cringe.

i also wish there was a warning about what happened to the king.
Spoiler he was raped by the previous queen when he was 15 and down with a fever.
it explains his behavior towards his queen. i also like that the author did do a good job on showing how his trauma affects him and how it hasn't magically disappeared.

overall, i think this story is quite cute, but i just can't continue reading it. dnf'ed @ chapter 36
