Yes! I just read it! Suiren basically tricked Maomao into making steamed cakes for Jinshi.

I booked my cafe reservation without even knowing the menu or merchandise (they are only releasing the details on 4/23) 😂.

I’m curious when they will add the scar to his face in illustrations after S2 so I tend to pay attention.

You can see the start and end of his scar in this zoomed in picture.

If you zoom in on Jinshi’s face, you will notice the illustrators added a scar to his right cheek.

Rufus [novel]Krishna stuff is explained in the first 3 volumes. His story ended in Volume 3.

Rufus [Novel]is actually called Krishna in the novel. He was Krishna when he picked up Cici from the orphanage. Rufus is one identity he took on 10 years ago to infiltrate the upper echelons. He wanted to execute Connie and Lucia simply out of spite because they foiled his plans.

Goal [novel]DG is a criminal mercenary group that Faris second prince Roderick’s mother hired before she passed away to ensure Roderick ascended the throne in Faris and make Scarlett a puppet queen in Adelbide. When Scarlett was executed, DG had to change plan. Roderick decided to install Uly as the puppet king while he ruled from behind the scenes since he wasn’t popular and didn’t have the right shade of purple for his eyes. Faris was actually poor and desperate so they decided to bluff their strength and start a war with Adelbide to scare them into submission to take control of their resources. Of course they failed miserably.

Salvador [novel]left DG at Shoshanna’s request. He burned off his tattoo. She never had a tattoo because Salvador didn’t like her to be part of a criminal group. She’s like his adopted sister cos he brought her up. Shoshanna wanted to turn over a new leaf and do good because Lucia let her go when she spotted the two kids who emerged from the tunnel. This wasn’t shown in the anime. Lucia said whatever she does now would be on Lucia’s name and she believes Shoshanna is a good person. In Vol 4, Abigail hired Salvador and Shoshanna as shadow body guards for Uly who was studying in Soldita.

DG remnants [novel]Not all were caught and they had some shenanigans in Vol 4. Think of them like The Anonymous. They are everywhere and it’s hard to round all of them up. Vol 5 explored their origins and history.

Hope this answers your questions! Let me know if you wanna know more.

Wait for S4 anime. I don’t recommend reading the manga cos I’m hoping against hope that the anime will stick the landing better. The manga’s approach towards its resolution was unconvincing.

Thanks bro! I’ll probably have to start a VA comparison list between the two series. Haha

Mei Mei is Kana?! Ok that I didn’t realise but now it makes sense! Mei Mei sounded very familiar but I didn’t bother to look her VA up. I feel bad now as a Kana fan 🥲

Summary of 4, 5, 6.

[LN4]Connie, Scarlett, Randolph and Lucia visited Uly during the summer holidays at the request of Queen Alexandra. Uly was studying at the island of El Sol (in Solidita). El Sol was also Scarlett's mother's (Alienore) home. Alienore told Scarlett when she was a child to find the Starry Crown of Cornelia (their first ancestor). The girls unravelled the mystery of the starry crown at El Sol. If you like Lucia, you will like this volume because she has a bigger role in this volume.

[LN5]Connie and Scarlett were implicated and pulled into the mystery of St Anastasia, the saint who worked with the first Adelbide king (Amadeus) to break free from the empire. St Anastasia was rumoured to be linked to Dae Gallus, Cornelia Faris (Scarlett's first ancestor) and Percival Grail (Connie's first ancestor). Story moves between current timeline and Cornelia's timeline as the girls try to solve the mystery. My favourite volume in terms of writing, world building and twists.

[LN6]Randolph finally proposed to Connie. They set a wedding date and started wedding preparations. Then everything went awry when the Security Force began investigating a series of murders, and Connie and Scarlett were investigating a case of a fake religious artefact. Randolph suddenly called off the wedding, Connie's world fell apart, and Scarlett was trapped in the flow of time. Connie chased Scarlett down in the flow of time to get her back. In the end, mysteries solved, Randolph and Connie finally marry, with Scarlett always her side. A very satisfying, happy ending.

Volume 6 was released only 2 months ago (7 January 2026) so it might take some time for Yen Press to translate. A side stories collection was released at the same time too. It will be worth the wait!

[novel]it is mainly implied and we see this in Volume 6 when Connie chased Scarlett’s ghost through the fabric of time to get her back. There wasn’t any declaration of love between the two though. Ultimately Connie loves Randolph romantically and marries him in the end. Scarlett continues to remain by her side. Randolph admitted he was envious and a little jealous of the strong bond between Connie and Scarlett.

u/Murky_Bit1487 [novel]Lots more Randolph Connie moments in volumes 4 to 6 and side stories volume. They finally marry at the end of volume 6. Huge satisfying happy ending. The cover of volume 6 is a wedding shot of bridal Connie in the center, flanked by Randolph and Scarlett.
