I haven't read or watched many stories that were meant for a female target audience, but I think this manhwa does many things well. This is a harem / revenge focused story & there is no indication that it will ever evolve beyond this. It mostly revolves around character conflicts, but the story was written well enough that I think it could've been in the author's hands to evolve this beyond this simple narrative, and maybe it will in the next volume.

Story (7,5 / 10):
A female knight commander is betrayed by one of his subordinates who he trusted the most. He is reincarnated in the ... body of a noble from an opposing kingdom, the kingdom she had previously fought against. Her new body is weak and she is therefore unable to fight in it, so she has to learn how to act like a noble.

The manhwa is entirely about her learning how to act like a noble despite it not suiting her. She slowly learns about the previous body owner through memories & by talking with others. And she also makes new acquaintances & some people fall for her. So it's a very relationship oriented story, rather than a plot oriented one.

Characters (7,5 / 10):
The main character, Estrella has been very consistent in how she is portrayed, she is a simple but well written character and her behavior rarely needs explaining. I also think the main cast around her is pretty well written, everyone is consistent & everyone gets some screen time. Only reason I'm not putting any of the characters on a pedestal is because so far in the plot I haven't seen anyone who is exceptionally interesting or likable to me, as well the fact that so far nobody's past or personalities have been fully explored yet.

Art (8,5 / 10):
Best art for a colored manwha I've seen thus far. The quality is very consistent & only 'deteriorates' whenever the artist draws chibi characters, or when the use of 3D scenery is a little too obvious. I haven't seen any panels where the quality goes off the charts like some other works, but I think it's fine since almost every panel is well drawn. Even character designs are distinct and I like the clothing too.

Enjoyment (8 / 10):
Very consistent quality & I could read it in one sitting without being annoyed or bored. If the story had some bigger event related plots too, rather than minor plots about romance or bickering, I would probably have enjoyed it even more.

Whats it like to be a feminist icon in a noble lady's body at old europe? The approach here is very politics of women back in the days. If you want petty civil remarks catfight, this is for you. There a lot of self reflection and thinking of feelings as a knight and a lady. Revenge plot for betrayal for u too

One thing in my head was the plot nailed it when they made her past life a lady knight commander. Very capable on her past life and how viewing how its like to fight with bickering and smiles. The story didnt fall on the ... trap of rowdy male knight becoming a noble lady woa-oh!! Because that causes more hijinks but limps the seriousness of the story. This manhwa makes it that a woman has a set path based on their environment and controlled choices.

Almost a girlboss, relies a lot on her fiancé to save her. Currently the FL is getting equipped on the war of ladies so she's on the right path. Lady Loer is an icon. The 2nd prince is giving too omg.

Advice: read it on mainstream or legit source. The story is very word savvy. I encountered a lot of translation errors and changes based on different tl group sources.
