aldadiamar★★★★★EP 1هلىوك٩غى
In a court where nobles lie as easily as they breathe, Constance Grail stands out as basically the most upstanding person around: her entire family built their reputation on honesty and integrity. Which is great until her fiancé cheats on her and his new lover frames Constance for theft, leaving her socially destroyed with no way to fight back using just good manners. That's when she meets the ghost of Scarlett Castiel, a sharp-tongued noblewoman who was executed ten years ago for supposedly trying to poison a prince's mistress. Scarlett has her own agenda: she wants to know what really led to her death. So the two strike a deal: Scarlett helps Constance navigate the cutthroat world of noble politics, and Constance helps Scarlett uncover the conspiracy behind her execution. What follows is a mystery-driven story layered with supernatural elements, where two women with very different personalities dig through secrets that powerful people want buried. The dynamic between earnest Constance and the more cynical Scarlett is the real draw here: think odd-couple energy with actual stakes. The tone balances suspense with lighter moments, so it never feels relentlessly grim. If you liked the political intrigue and villainess angle of My Next Life as a Villainess but wanted something with more teeth, or if The Case Study of Vanitas scratched your itch for gothic mystery with strong character dynamics, this one's worth keeping on your radar for 2026.
This season covers Volumes 1-15 of the manga. Continue reading from Volume 16.

motaevolett54★★★☆☆VerifiedEP 1It was oh okai
melypaz★★★★★AnimeQuería ver el primer capítulo y terminé viéndola entera. Tiene acción, misterio, drama y suspenso. También hay romance, aunque queda en segundo plano debido a la historia que hay detrás de la muerte de Scarlett y, por supuesto, a la relación entre Connie y Scarlett, que es hermosa.
fuggs★★★☆☆VerifiedEP 12It was ok. We do love Scarlet, but characters were kinda eh in the show in general.
nonty★★★★★VerifiedEP 12Honestamente lloré un poquito, amé como unieron todo, ese detalle del episodio 1 y como todo se vuelve un ciclo, aunque si hay cosas que parecen solucionadas con la magia del guión
nonty★★★★★VerifiedEP 2Loved the start of the series, it's clear both characters are opposites but the interaction between them allows development, both learning from the strong points of the other. Also loves the pace, it set the mystery little by little
itsmemaku★★★★★VerifiedEP 12Final ep was A LOT. 😭 From Princess Cecilia’s revelation to Scarlet dream sequence… I didn't see that coming. My heart is actually aching btw. 💔 The tension, the drama—it’s honestly too much to handle! But man, seeing it all wrap up like this? Season 2? 😁
itsmemaku★★★★★VerifiedEP 11I’m stressed just watching this 😭 Connie’s situation?? Yeah, no breathing room at all. Everything feels like it’s about to collapse and I’m just sitting there like “someone FIX THIS.” It’s tense, messy, and lowkey painful. If you’re this deep, you’re finishing it.
itsmemaku★★★★★VerifiedEP 10Word of the day, "Stupidship".😂 I swear this ep said “let’s add romance” and then stabbed me anyway. Connie really said “I’ll suffer alone” and I’m like?? girl pls. That moment hit though, not gonna lie. Stress level maxed, feelings everywhere. Yeah… you’re not skipping this.
itsmemaku★★★★★VerifiedEP 9I thought this would be lore dump… nah, it hit me in the chest. 😭 Finally some answers, and it’s just pain layered with regret. I’m mad, sad, and kinda satisfied at the same time. If you made it this far, don’t stop now—this one actually delivers.
itsmemaku★★★★★VerifiedEP 8Seeing Scarlet’s past through Lily’s eyes actually broke me. 💔And finally getting pieces of the truth, it hits HARD. The politics are still messy but now it hurts more than it confuses. I went from “huh?” to “oh that’s messed up…” real quick. Yeah, you gotta watch this one.
itsmemaku★★★★★VerifiedEP 7I'm ngl, this ep had me pausing like “wait who’s plotting who again?” 😭 It’s messy but weirdly addictive. Everyone’s shady, politics are wild…and Connie catching feelings? eehh thrilled. Overall, I’m confused, stressed, but still hitting next episode…so yeah, it’s working.
ejayexp★★★★★VerifiedEP 12The finale delivered. Cecilia showing up to save Connie was unexpected but perfect. The real mastermind reveal made everything click. Scarlett finally getting justice after ten years? Emotional. Her fading with that smile at the end? Great plot twists!
ejayexp★★★★★VerifiedEP 11The second to last episode was so tense. Constance getting captured stressed me out. Scarlett scrambling to save her was intense. The clue pointing to St. Mark's Square—where Scarlett died—feels like full circle. So ready for the finale.
ejayexp★★★★★VerifiedEP 10The way shadows moved across characters' faces during the big confrontation was gorgeous. Scarlett's emotions came through in every frame. the slow build to the reveal had me leaning forward the whole time. the animation during the underground scene was especially moody.
ejayexp★★★★★EP 9Wait other people can see Scarlett too? The priest and little Lucia having the same gift explains so much. Lucia interacting with Scarlett was unexpectedly sweet. This supernatural element adds a cool layer to the mystery.
ejayexp★★★★★EP 8Lily's backstory hit different. Her friendship with Scarlett and what happened to her was heartbreaking. Young Scarlett being genuinely kind underneath all that sharpness. The conspiracy gets darker every episode. This show is crushing it.
ejayexp★★★★★VerifiedEP 7The courtesans stealing the show was unexpected but I loved it. That old madam is iconic. Scarlett's ghost doing recon was hilarious. Connie orchestrating the judge's takedown was satisfying. Girl's getting good at this.
ejayexp★★★★★VerifiedEP 6Finally getting answers. Aisha breaking down and admitting she did it was satisfying but sad—she was clearly used. Then she got killed right before revealing who ordered it. This conspiracy runs deep. Show moves fast.
ejayexp★★★★★VerifiedEP 5The carriage attack scene had me on edge. Constance screaming while Scarlett can't physically help was frustrating. Randolph appearing to save her felt too convenient. Something's off about that guy. Stakes are rising. Loving the tension.
