The Villainess Lives Again - Vol. 1 Ch. 23

[stressedcoffee]

OMG....... now that's some high level planning...

well even though it was planned, it always happened to her esp in the previous timeline so it's not like the plan was a fake,,, our poor tia's been through such an abuse tbh it was time she has been rescued

@orth0dox
Before saing that we need to check the novel (if it's translated) because it's not rare to see some cut between the novel and the manhwa.
And generaly worst in anime adaptation XD

@legendaryswordsman
Kishore is an imperial knight who work directly under the emperor. he's the gay who take Tia at home at the begening of the manhwa from her journey to the church.
He's a good guy who see Tia with affection since she have similaire age with his daughter.

 

[sonyaism]

Tia's scheming asf. Damn. Can't blame her sadly. I hope Cedric will help her be at ease so she doesn't have to always do this.

 

[kooncity]

My guy ML really has to get used to MC playing mind games 24/7 like living with aizen type of shit? That's crazy man.

 

[WanderingKaos]

I think she planned it but not for ML. She wanted to drag her mother's name through the mud through the ladies at the party. No one will trust her son if his own mother can't behave herself and acts terribly to her own blood. I feel so bad for FL. She has two lives worth of BS going on.

Lol Dude's gotta get use to her always planning and scheming. Everything she does has a goal. It's how she got her lame ass brother on the throne.

@Svelandria Iirc she thinks the marriage is temporary because she believes Cedric and saintess Licia were lovers in the 1st timeline, and she intends to leave him after the contract is up so as not to get between their romance this time.

 

[lazerus56]

It has been clear that the mom is ill from the start. She was just indiscriminately beat g the staff earlier

 

[GwenBlanketKnight]

what is the korean word for plan? because all went according to plan.

 

[Aloya]

Jup

 

[Shadess]

The unhinged-ness of her mom is just so... effective

 

[KenOne]

People still think this unhinged bitch can be redeemed? She sees her daughter as property, and put her hand on her for the silliest shit and not the mention the emotional abuse. Nope, this chicken can go fly a kite to the sun.

Well, for the last scene, it wouldn't be surprising given that she was a villianess in her previous life, but she is using her mind for good. All the young ladies saw her mother fly off the rails, and will spread it like wild fire. They also saw Cedric coming to save her, so it kills two birds with one stone. Ced may not like it, but it's all a means to an end.

 

[LaDeeDah]

I'll be really surprised if it isn't one of her strategies

 

[Reimos]

... That bitch is just stupid. There is being an abusing parent, and then there is being a stupid abusive parent.
She straight up does nothing by doing this in public other than ruin her own image, the image of her son and the image of emperor.

What did she expect to happen?

 

[Mathiason]

Thanks for the chapter!
Wouldn't be surprised if MC hadn't planned on her mother getting angry and causing a commotion in front of her tea party guests. Likely hadn't planned on such a severe beating though. In any case, why is the mother so angry at the MC? It's that corrupt noble's fault Lawrence got in trouble for associating with him due to human trafficking of kids, but the Grand Duke likely not going to go after Lawrence due to MC so what prompted the beat down?

@KenOne You're mistaken. She doesn't see her daughter as property, she sees her daughter as ugly and useless worth less than property except for when she's doing something for Lawrence whether it's serving him good tea or conspiring against his enemies. Agree the extreme favoritism of Lawrence over MC is beyond the pale. Wonder if hates MC so much because sees so much of herself in MC who is getting more beautiful as matures and very intelligent while she is getting older and knows her only value is the fleeting favor from the emperor and whatever can get from Lawrence becoming the new emperor.

 

[KenOne]

@Mathiason I mean the last panel when Ced is carrying out, Mommy Dearest screams "She is mine!" which is clear signs of her seeing Tia as a possession/property and something she owns, not person. She can beat her or kill her if she wants to, she said. I doubt she is jealous of Tia, she's too shallow for that. She sees a pet in my opinion, than a rival to be jealous of which is why she is abusive. Tia has been beneath her from the start.

 

[sylvacoer]

I think she expected her mother to cause a scene at some point that the duke would rescue her from, but not so soon and so publicly.

 

[tee_lilred]

The mother might be the emperor's concubine but that title holds no power or wealth. She has her current titled and wealth because she is Tia's mother. So Tia needs to be under her control for her to keep her power. I think she keeps on telling Tia is ugly and useless and that no one wants her in order for Tia to remain her "property".
She abuses and humiliated Tia in public ordered to keep her in-check and keep Tia's self-esteem low, so Tia will not dare reach out to outsiders again.

 

[Serverclosed]

This girl is moving everything on her palm. Quite lovely.

 

[TheGodEmperor]

God... Tia suffers too much

 

[HiddenCamelia]

Ahhh cedric is gonna get angry because tia’s schemes never account for her own well-being and he’s starting to care a lot

Also the mom’s use of possessive terms when referring to Tia really tells us what she really thinks of her...to her tia is a tool to be owned and used, you appreciate a tool when it works particularly well but you don’t really value it... really tragic that the mom thinks like this when tia is her firstborn
