Roselily's backstory in the manga is one of those tragic yet beautifully crafted arcs that sticks with you. She starts off as this mysterious figure, draped in elegance but hiding a past soaked in pain. Growing up in a noble family, she was groomed for greatness, but her childhood was far from idyllic—her parents were cold, more obsessed with status than affection. The turning point came when her younger sister, the only person she truly loved, fell gravely ill due to a rare curse. Desperate to save her, Roselily made a pact with a dark entity, exchanging her own freedom for her sister’s life. The twist? Her sister recovered but lost all memory of her, leaving Roselily utterly alone. Now, she wanders the world, wearing a mask of grace while carrying this unbearable loneliness. The manga does a fantastic job of peeling back her layers, showing how her icy exterior is just armor for a heart that never healed.
What makes her story so compelling is how it intertwines with the present timeline. Her encounters with the protagonist aren’t just random; they’re charged with this unspoken yearning for connection. There’s a scene where she watches a family laughing together in the marketplace, and the way the artist captures her expression—subtle but devastating—tells you everything. The manga also drops hints about the entity she bargained with, suggesting it might not be done with her yet. I love how her backstory isn’t just dumped in one flashback but revealed slowly, through fragmented memories and symbolic imagery, like the withering roses she tends to. It’s poetic in the cruelest way.
Roselily’s past is a slow burn of heartbreak. She wasn’t always the aloof, rose-adorned figure we meet; once, she was a girl who believed in love. Her family’s downfall began with political betrayal, forcing her into a life of survival. The manga frames her backstory almost like a gothic fairy tale—abandoned by those she trusted, she turned to forbidden magic, only to realize too late that power comes at a cost. Now, every rose she grows carries thorns, mirroring her own guarded soul.

Uptil the age of 9, Roselia had lived the life every child dreamed of, a loving father, mountains of toys and dollhouses and whatever else that she desired. But her world came crashing down when her father died all of a sudden.
Then Roselia runs away from her home at the age of 12 for reasons that would haunt her forever. She gets on a train and travels to a different state which is when she is rescued by a man.
Little does she know that the man, Derek Clifford, is the heir to the ‘Cliffords dynasty’, a billionaire family, known for masquerading their money source as a ‘family business’. But the biggest revelation awaits Roselia at the Clifford mansion… that the person responsible for her father’s ‘unexpected death’ might just be a very important member of the Clifford’s family.
Just then, Derek leaves to go overseas.
6 years later
What Roselia hadn’t expected was that her love for the man who saved her life 6 years ago might just get in the way of her exacting revenge as she stays in the Cliffords mansion in the guise of a chef.
Derek Clifford had not ever dreamed that he would fall in love. Power was all he had ever desired. That is until his cold grey eyes latched onto the all-grown Roselia and his carefully-knit life comes falling apart. But deep down perhaps he had known that it wasn’t just moral obligation that had made him so fiercely protective of her back in the past.
Unfortunately for Roselia, Derek has a dark side to him, a side he never wanted to reveal to her. Would she run or would she stand with him? Would Derek even let her go? Could he?
The perpetually 17-year-old Rose Cristian has resurrected. Again. She has to. Otherwise, the evil witch Joanna would succeed in ending the world. Rose isn't worried, though, she has vanquished the enemy several times before and will do so again. Only this time, Joanna's become more powerful and it might be Rose's first loss in their 500-year-old war. That is unless Rose gains access to an ancient curse that's fatal to the witch. The catch? She has to marry the mysterious and brooding Jericho in order to activate the curse. Despite an obvious physical attraction, Rose just can't seem to like her husband and he seems to feel the same. So it's always sarcasm and fistfights whenever they're together. Add into the mix her newfound warrior team: the morose werewolf Ty and the clumsy wizard Trick. Will Rose succeed in her task this century or will she finally breathe her last?
"In a garden full of flowers, the beast chose her.
Among the roses she was,
and although her petals were tainted with blood, to him,
she was the prettiest of them all"
Fate and it's funny ways. It's so fascinating when things could be so twisted, yet perfect at the same time. There has to be darkness for the light to shine and before every beautiful rainbow, there's an ugly storm. Isn’t this what our parents tell us in order to keep us calm?
Rosalya was in an urgent need of this saying. She is found in a very hard and tricky situation when her world is suddenly flipped upside down. Her life going from quiet to loud, from sad and boring to interesting and wild. An Alpha King is the least she imagined would appear in her life, but that’s what life gave her. The change wasn’t exactly received happily... but it was definitely something that she would not regret in the future.
She’s just a small delicate flower... one that manages things that she never knew were in her reach. Happiness and sadness, love and despair. Before every happy ending, there’s a roller coaster of a journey. Let’s see what this one holds for us to read.
Lili, an orphan of the endless wars, had no one to thank aside from the old mistress who saved her from the slum alleys. Hired as a servant in the same orphanage where she grew up, Lili would learn that everything that she had believed in was nothing but a lie.
In the midst of despair and hopelessness, Lili would meet a masked Duke, a mysterious man who spews fire. His first greetings, 'Will you be my wife', as stunning as his emerald-hued eyes.
With the Duke on her side, the hidden clues about Lili's true identity slowly unveiled themselves, one secret at a time. And before the couple even knew it, the abyss had already dragged them into the true world of power and lies.
A story of a possessive dragon duke and his mischievous flowery wife.
One moment I'm chasing after a rabbit and the next, I'm falling down a rabbit hole! What the heck?! This ain't Alice in Wonderland?! Though as I opened my eyes, I soon found out that I was no longer in my original body and that somehow I transmigrated into the light novel, A Fairytale Romance. And that isn't all, the character whose body I transmigrated into... is none other than the canon-fodder, stuck-up, arrogant, and selfish ojou-sama who was nothing more than a comic relief character, Maria Rosendrey. Life truly sucks...

It started with a kiss I don’t remember giving.
A rooftop. A moan. Someone’s fingers buried in my hair like they belonged there. A mouth on my throat that said I tasted like something they lost in another life.
I wasn’t dreaming.
The city was already cracking beneath me. Power grids flickering like dying stars. Tech failing. Screens static. The sky bruising in strange new colors. Everyone said it was coincidence. Collapse. Noise. But I knew better. The moment I felt her breath on my skin — even if I couldn’t see her — I knew the end had already arrived.
And I had something to do with it.
Ten butterflies followed me after that.
Not literal ones. Not always.
They shimmered in my periphery. Each the wrong color. Each too vivid. Each drawn to me like heat to blood. They touched me in dreams. They watched me when I undressed. They whispered without words. I could taste their want.
Some called me cursed. Broken. Unstable.
But the truth is simpler. I’m blooming again — and they all feel it.
They don’t love me. They remember me.
They remember what I used to be — what I still am, underneath the silence. One of them burned me with just a kiss. One broke my spine with kindness. One slid her hand under my shirt like it was always hers. One cries when she touches me. One never speaks, but her eyes dig.
One wants to keep me.
One wants to ruin me.
And one just wants to finish what we started.
They think I’m choosing.
I’m not.
My body already did.
And now the bloom inside me is turning darker.
Roselily's arc in season 2 is one of those quiet yet seismic shifts that sneaks up on you. At first, she’s still the same guarded, thorny presence from season 1—quick with a sarcastic remark, slow to trust. But as the political tensions in the story escalate, you start seeing cracks in her armor. There’s this episode where she’s forced to collaborate with her rival, and instead of defaulting to sniping, she actually listens. It’s tiny moments like that, where she hesitates before firing back or lets someone else take the lead, that show her growing. By mid-season, when her backstory with the royal family gets revealed, her aloofness makes so much more sense. She isn’t just ‘cold’—she’s terrified of being hurt again. The finale? Heartbreaking. She sacrifices her chance at revenge to save someone she’d sworn to hate, and the way her voice wavers when she says, 'Fine, take the win'—ugh, it rewired my brain.
What’s fascinating is how the show contrasts her with the more overtly emotional characters. While others wear their hearts on their sleeves, Roselily’s development is all about what she doesn’t say. The animators nail it with subtle touches: a clenched fist loosening, a half-smile when no one’s looking. Even her wardrobe shifts—less rigid blacks, more deep blues—mirroring her slow thaw. It’s not a full 180; she’s still prickly by the end. But now it feels like a choice, not a defense mechanism. I’ve rewatched her scenes a stupid number of times, and they hit differently every time.
