I think I’m going to read the novel for more context. I haven’t read the novel and yet I could still feel how the pacing is off. This manhwa seems really rushed; I hope the artist would develop their relationship properly.

I like that she's trying to learn more of the truth and be cautious. Though..I don't know if she should be so sure about being the empress eventually. I mean it might change lol.

Well she surely did in the "future", so I think it's a slim chance she won't be. Because even in that future, where I assume she was most ignorant of things around her, she still managed to become one. It was after Iron king (her brother), but it still happened.

It's hard to image what could have happened for her not to become one: I think she either would have resigned herself or she would start playing "games" and learning about others and get herself killed in the process. But none of those seeem realistic to me at this point of the story (chapter 22).

I really like how the manhwa portrayed the novel accurately. I just wish that the "great wish" would be more understandable here because I still am confused about it in the novel.

Wow, I don't remember the last time I read such a well written manhwa. Is the author a female? The MC is fleshed out, realistic and sensible and the romance feels natural. I also love the way she's developing and thinking.
The beginning was a little weird. The pacing or something felt off but I promise it gets better with time. It's not super exciting and dramatic but steady and well-written. Plus the art is so pretty.

@kungfupanda the novel for this has the same author as the novel Lucia, and she has another novel that is still ongoing. Out of her 3 novels, this one for me is the most well-written and has the most likeable characters.
But if you like some more snusnu, then I recommend you read her other 2 novels.

was gonna stick to reading the novel, but damn the art is beautiful. Sienna and her clothes are soooo majestic *sigh*

What I hope for the ending : Sienna as emperor, Khun as Blue King, and my boi Dian ALIVE and have a great sibling relationship with Sienna.

The red king and the rest of Sienna’s maternal relatives can eff off.

But anyway I hope the Manhwa continues till the end of the novel.

also is it just me or does Sienna remind you of an actress? can’t quite remember who exactly since I watch alot of asian dramas 😅

this is genuinely one of my favorite manhwas of all time. Actually, it IS my favorite manhwa of all time. I love these characters with all my heart and the plot is amazing. I could stare at our silver king and khun talk all day. I recommend this to everyone missing out on this masterpiece. The only thing wrong about this manhwa is we don't get updates enough, but that's just me desperately wanting to read more. I absolutely adore this manhwa and it will be one of the few I know I will remember in my later years.

This is quite good. Not at all one of the same-sy shoujo fantasy adventures that've been going around (much as I've been enjoying those), even if it makes use of many of the same building blocks.

A lot of this actually strikes me as rather old-fashioned in tone—say, perhaps, in the tone of fantasy novels from the 70's that were looking back at even older things—in a good way. The heroine gives off the air of a shining chivalric hero, played totally straight-faced (but with associated heroic flaws). The romance, such as there has been, is a mix of intrigue and impassioned glances, words, and gestures; it does not so much sparkle or go doki-doki, but swooning might not be totally out of the question. And, crucially, it brings the grace to these things to make them actually work (as they so often didn't in their heyday).

Despite that, this definitely feels like something written today. A lot of the various tropes employed here are pretty familiar to the popular shoujo fantasy stuff of here-and-now. But they're in disciplined service to the plot, here, never thus far even a hint of any sort of ad-libbed filler to keep things rolling.

It's not that I feel like I'm reading a masterpiece, as such, it's more like the feeling of watching forgotten craftsmanship. ...Gods, do I sound old. XD

Anyway. I'm probably not doing the thing full service here. This is really it's own thing, and it's good! (So far.)

TBH the webtoon doesn't give the novel any justice. The novel has so much more detail and is definitely worth your time. It's quite sad that the adaption doesn't match the tone of the novel.
