Lady Rose Just Wants to Be a Commoner! (Manga)

When Felicia Schwarose’s engagement to the crown prince is broken off due to false charges, you’d expect her to be torn to pieces...but instead she’s jumping for joy! She may have been reincarnated as the protagonist of an otome game, but she wants nothing to do with high society. Thus, she becomes Fii Crow, a humble commoner earning her daily bread at a village bakery. All’s well that ends well? Not yet—the game’s love interests just won’t leave her alone! Can Fii clear up misunderstandings, avoid triggering romantic (and dangerous) events, and get everyone out of her hair so she can live the peaceful commoner life of her dreams? Witness the story of a former noblewoman who won’t sit by and wait for happiness to come riding in on a white horse!

Life as a commoner isn’t cushy, but it was supposed to be peaceful—at least, that’s what Fii Crow had hoped for. Unfortunately, as the heroine of an otome game, the love interests have come a-knocking at her door one after another. But with a dauntless spirit, some fine acting, and the power of bread, Fii manages to fend off the heartthrob Prince Nicholas as well as her two-faced little brother Shade. Determined to stay out of the upper-crust life for good, Fii now enters a battle of wits against Melvin Crabitt, a suitor with an insatiable curiosity. Will she uncover the vital information she needs to protect her commoner life? Or will a trip down memory lane lead her to ruin?

After a successful battle of wits with Melvin Crabitt, Fii Crow enjoys a whole week of baking without any love interests in her hair. But when you’re the (unwilling) heroine of an otome game, peace never lasts long. Two especially dangerous bachelors come knocking at her door: Prince Nolan and his trusted aide Zero. There are all kinds of troubles men can bring in this visual novel, and war just happens to be one of them. Can Fii get out of this predicament with her head still on her shoulders? Or is the sword mightier than doughy goodness?

Fii can add two war hawks to her list of rogue game characters back under control, and she even earns a vacation for improving her baking skills. But there’s a new name floating around town and it’s not one she recognizes from the otome game. Could this mysterious “El” be the reincarnated mastermind she’s been searching for? But before she can investigate, she finds herself sandwiched between an anonymous invitation and a sudden abduction! Can Fii get out of this bind with only her trusty baguette in hand?

After a riveting question and answer session with Shade, Fii’s starting to grasp what the root of all her problems is...but she’s still a few slices short of the whole loaf. Now she must confront the unexpected mastermind behind Liliana’s abduction. But Liliana refuses to cooperate with the rescue plan—in fact, she’s trying to take her own life! Can Fii persuade her to live another day? And why are both the captor and the victim so desperate to bring Fii back to the upper crust?

Now that Liliana is safe and sound, Fii sets off to the royal palace for one final struggle against fate. But this time, it’s going to take more than breaking bread to protect her hard-earned commoner life. Can Fii solve the mysteries behind this string of unlikely events and appease the mastermind? How does Nancy tie into all this? What are Lord Nika’s two suspicious guards up to? And just who is El, anyways? Join us in the finale of our bread-loving heroine’s tale as she forges her own path to happiness!
