Oh No, I Possessed a Male Character! (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 41
Not long after, a reply arrived from Madam Ferner. It had been less than two days since I’d sent my letter.
“Hmm.”
I struggled to recall any incidents involving Madam Ferner from the original work.
Had I read more attentively, I might have remembered more, but unfortunately, aside from a few fragmented scenes, nothing else came to mind.
Moreover, as a minor side character’s subordinate, she had only a few lines of dialogue and sparse descriptions—essentially an extra, which meant there was never much information about her to begin with.
In the end, I gave up on retrieving any useful details about her from the original story.
“All I can rely on now are this letter and Evangeline.”
Evangeline, at least, maintained some foothold in high society—surely she’d heard at least one rumor about Madam Ferner.
She even knew Count Feuerbach; surely she wouldn’t be unaware of his daughter.
I’d ask her during tea instruction.
When I arrived at the Feuerbach manor for my tea lesson, Evangeline unexpectedly suggested going out immediately.
“Today, we’ll learn how to choose tea ware. Come along quickly, Lord Muzel.”
“Isn’t tea ware all the same?”
My question must have sounded foolish. Evangeline instantly grew serious.
“Oh my! Tea ware is such a delicate instrument—how can you say that? The flavor of your tea changes completely depending on which set you use.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
The female CEO who doesn’t want to get married with a divorce agreement in hand × The male archaeological researcher who will only get married if he’s sure he can get divorced
“If he had never learned that Muzel was a woman, he might have mistaken it for deep friendship”
I had this thought, and this semi confirmed it for me: Klaus seems to like Muzel no matter the gender. He maybe bi, but it maybe only for Muzel. Like Shang from Disney’s Mulan
I get that Rumi’s parents are upset about losing their daughter in the main world, but at some point, FL needs to stop babying her and leave her be.
I understand Rumi character completely. Stuck being sick, barely ever going outside, going to die at any moment, it is COMPLETELY reasonable for her to want to stay.
And FL wants to bring her back because…her parents are sad?
When Rumi tries to explain how miserable she is over there, FL basically counters with “Yea, but your parents are sad and your feelings are invalid”
FL needs to just leave Rumi alone. She is an adult and she knows how to get back home for when she’s ready. As far as we know now, if it gets too bad, Rumi can dip! FL can already see the cracks, so she just either need to honestly stop trying to yank her home before she’s done, or just wait for it all to implode in her face.
I will say, I like Rumi. Yes she’s selfish and naive, and it really adds to her character. She wanted to enjoy this experience because she is dying in the other world, and I have no problem with that. She wanted to experience this alone. Muzel/Jin Yi being there wasn’t part of the plan. She didn’t drag Muzel along and the only reason she’s forcing Muzel to help her is because if she were to actually tell Muzel how to get back home, Muzel would drag her back too (which, i still stand by is a horrible friend move. Muzel as Jin Yi is a bad friend. Muzel as Muzel is at least giving suggestions and trying to explain what Rumi did wrong, but once she switches back to Jin Yi thoughts of forcing Rumi home, she’s very-close minded).
Back to Rumi, she is very naive as we can see by her snubbing the OGFL at the party, and the charity suggestions. She doesn’t know or understand the implications of what she did. She only thinks in the now, not in the future and probably because she’s on borrowed time. She’s rushing and impatient and not thinking of the consequences of her actions, just the results they should bring.
I really like her.
And Jin Yi is a hypocrite. She’s annoyed/ disappointed/ doesn’t like that Rumi has immersed herself into her role and calls the Duke Father, but she’s allowed to live her life solely for His Highness and is going out of her way to snitch on Gretchen immediately after her slip up because rules are rules and that is what she is supposed to do? She is just as immersed, if not more. If she wasn’t, she would have at least given Gretchen a chance to fix her mistake, like I’ll let this slip once and won’t tell on you and it’ll be our secret. That’s someone not immersed. Immediately alerting the Head Stewart and not in a way of just doing it because it’s her role but because of how serious it is is full immersion.
I know it’s only for the time they are there, but still, she’s so negative about Rumi and anything she does. Like a parent waiting on the their kid to mess up badly just so they can say told you so instead of letting them make their mistakes and grow from it without the taunting.
Even with all this, I still really like all of the characters, especially Lutz. He’s a cutie.
