This isekai continues to be a charming read about the developing relationship between Livia and Croft. As the day when Livia and Croft will be married fast approaches, Croft is forced to take Lillian as a second wife once he has married Livia - if he wants the information that the Duke is keeping from him about his late mother. Livia - who still believes that Croft and Lillian (the original love interest of the novel) should fall in love. Livia initially thinks that Croft marrying Lillian is a great idea, but Livia discovers that similar to herself, Lillian does not have a choice in the matter of getting married.
I love Lillian and Livia's friendship. It's definitely nice to see an isekai where the original love interest/heroine doesn't become the villainess but rather a close companion of the female lead (Livia, for example). I will say, that for an isekai, some of the traditional plot beats or tropes that I've come to connect with the genre aren't present here. Yes, Livia has foresight of certain events, and knowledge of politics and people she shouldn't but beyond that, her transmigration from a Korean women to Livia, daughter of a noble Duke, hasn't impacted much of the story at large. I didn't mind this, but it was something that stuck out to me.
