Read manhwa I became the Despised Granddaughter of the Powerful Martial Arts Family / I became the despised granddaughter of Murim Clan / I Became the Despised Granddaughter of the Powerful Murim Family / 무림세가 천대받는 손녀딸이 되었다
The main character possessed in the world of martial arts. She possesses Baek Ri-yeon, the foolish and nuisance daughter of Baek Ri-eui-gang, a true teacher who leads the male lead to the path of a hero. After being killed unexpectedly, when I open my eyes, I return to being a child who can undo everything. “Can I be loved this time?” In this life, with the conviction that she will become a mother’s daughter, not Minpet’s daughter, she begins a life of being respected by everyone from the granddaughter of the Baekris family. The obstacle family appears in front of Yeon who wants to walk only on a flowery path, and Pae-Hyeok Baek, the patriarch and grandfather of the patriarch, who even trembles even in the mountains and rivers with his gaze. “Do you think you’re worth it!” “Yes!” There was no time to hide his embarrassment at the spirit of his granddaughter, “If there is even a weak hope, how can I give up as a father?” “…It’s like a wall window.” He is a grandfather who secretly opens his heart after being hit by a handsome son and daughter who are determined to be hated to save their daughter who is incapable of military service… I thought it was worth living at this point, but the male lead candidates’ obsession suddenly started? Let’s only walk on the real flower path now!

Also gets MTL’d as: white ink, Baek Ri-muk, Euimook, Baekni-mook, Baekni-muk, Uimuk
Eldest son of the Baekri family, Euigang’s considerably older half-brother, and Yeon’s uncle. He acts like a nice person, but actually has an opportunistic personality.

He was informed of Yeon’s existence through a letter from her nanny when she was already ~5 years old, after which he found her and brought her back to the Baekri family. He is best friends with Namgoong Wan. In the original novel/timeline, his tendency to not smile and the machinations of the family and staff left him and Yeon estranged, each thinking the other hated them, and he sacrificed himself to save his disciple, Namgung Ryucheng (ML).

백리명 / Baekri Myung
Also gets MTL’d as: Baek Ri-myeong, rice wine, Bai Li-Ming, Myeong
Son of Euimok and the oldest grandchild of the Baekri family.

백리연 / Baekri Yeon
Also gets MTL’d as: Yan, Yan Yi, Yuna, Yeun, Kite, Bai Liyan, Bai Li Yan, Baek Ri-yeon, Bai Liye
FL, the illegitimate child of Baekri Euigang, who brought her to live with him when she was six years old. While he was away, she went into qi deviation and shattered her qi core, leading her to be unable to learn martial arts due to being qi-ruined. In the first timeline, during her father’s funeral, she remembered her previous life and realized she had transmigrated into the body of a minor petty villainess of a martial arts novel, only to be killed shortly after this realization by Yayul. She then experienced a regression, waking up as Yeon at age six shortly after the qi deviation incident, with memories of her prior lives intact. She uses her knowledge from these lives to improve her relationship with her father and her standing and reputation within the Baekri family.

Extended character guide
Content in (parenthesis) are titles that the character is referred to as. For example, Gu Hongma is almost never called by his name, he is instead referred to by his title of (Cheonsan Yeomje) which translates roughly to ‘Cheonsan Flame Emperor’.
Note on provided alternate MTL spellings:
Romanization of names is hard and not consistent, then you add in the somewhat poetic nature of several names in the story, terms borrowed from Chinese, hanja/hangul stuff, and you get SHENANIGANS when using MTL (or at least, I do). For example:
Southern Palace Bureau = Namgung Ryucheng
Shakya Yak = Seok Gayak
Heavenly Mountain Thousand Salts = Cheonsan Flame Lord

SPOILERS

for those wonder, Ryu-Cheong feel in love with our MC first
also, apparently, our M is related to the heavenly demon, which is a reincarnator
the heavenly demon has been the same person for the past 500 years
the heavenly demon sees Yeon as a danger as different events develop from the previous life.
the person who killed yeon in her previous live was was Yayul, the second ML, and because the Heavenly Demon commanded this.
umm… not sure what this is, ut i think its important
Heavenly Demon poisoned Yeon when she was entering the Baekri clan, that is, when she was 6 years old, her meridians will not heal. But since getting Mansuin’s golden eyes, she will be able to see inner energies and be able to sword fight. In fact, at the 17 years old, she will single-handedly -almost- destroy a clan that helped a Heavenly Demon.
The power of a Heavenly Demon is eternal. When the current holder of that power passes away, another Heavenly Demon will appear. Yeon’s body couldn’t withstand the power that she absorbed from her maternal HD grandfather, so Yayul did the honors after she fainted…(Yeon will eventually die if Yayul didn’t absorbed the power)
[Years later] — Yayul became the new Heavenly Demon after (absorbing the power / withstanding the remorseful will of HD) defeating the General of the Demonic Cult..
hypothesis explaining Yeon’s memory retention [from the novel] :
The Heavenly Demon is bound by Heavenly Qi like every human beings. It arranges destiny and make it flow. He went against the celestial wheel of going backwards in time, and thought Yeon is the only one who could get him out of it. The more Yeon change the future, the easier it will be for him to move. The Heavenly Qi has been disturbed. That’s why the Heavenly Demon, who originally couldn’t move unnecessarily was finally able to move freely.
The Heavenly Demon has traveled back in time on several occasions and it only ended in vain. There will always be an adversary to stop him. If Baekri Yeon dies, Baekri Uigang will be his opponent. If Baekri Uigang dies, his opponent will be Namgung Ryu-cheong. If Namgung Ryu-cheong is killed, there will be a martial artist of unknown origin who will stop him. He can’t break the cycle of Heavenly Qi, which is why he picked Yeon as his opponent this time.
the grandpa, like alot of grandpas, loves her. Grandpa is a total tsundere. He cares a lot for Yuna after the events. And he thinks of her as his best grandchild. Always behind her. He trusts her a lot.
okay, so the first person who confessed to her was the Third ML, Jegal Hwamu
Second confession was done by ML, Namgung Ryucheong
Third confession was done by Yayul, Second ML
About Male Lead : Namgung Ryucheong
Namgung Ryucheong was the second to confess his love. Although he is not interested in Yuna at first, after accidentally injuring her, his feelings begin to form as he spends time with her. Even though he seems indifferent, he cares deeply about Yuna in the next episodes.
About Second Ml : Yayul
The third confessor is Yayul. He knows that it was he who killed Yuna, but he does not know why he did it. He dreams sometimes but cannot make sense of it. After Yuna met the 11-year-old Heavenly Demon, Yayul was kidnapped by the Heavenly Demon. And Yuna searched for him for 7 years but could not find him. When they went to the capital for their Murim events, Yayul confronted Yuna and said that he had left the sect to bring down the Demonic Sect from the inside. He is a yandere who doesn’t care about anyone but Yuna.
Yayul’s mother, Byeok Kihyeon, was a slave. But she was a very strong warrior. That’s why the Byeok family adopted her. Here she grew stronger and became known as one of the best warriors. Murim Lord Wujibaek wanted to marry her, but Kihyeon did not want to, and the Byeok leader and his children could not let Kihyeon become stronger than them, and officially threw her before Wujibaek. Later, Yayul was born and Kihyeon died. Byeok tried to make a deal with Wujibaek through Yayul, but after learning this, Yayul fled and had to learn the power of the demon sect. Meanwhile, Wujibaek, he tried to erase everything about Yayul because he didn’t want anyone to know about his dark past. I can understand why Yayul hates Murim and Wujibaek. Both Yeon and Yayul remembered their past life. Yeon originally retained her previous memories while Yayul only remembered his through recurring dreams after meeting Yeon.
About Third ML : Jegal Hwamu
Jegal Hwamu, the white-haired man, was the first to show his love. He knows that Yuna has gone back to the past, and Yuna knows his secret. The Jegal family died early for generations. This is because of what the Heavenly Demon did. They die at an early age because they recall memories of the previous Jegal lords and their lifespan is reduced. That’s why he forgets his memories with Yuna every now and then. Yuna saves Hwamu, who must die early in this life, and Hwamu stays with the Baekri Clan for several years. This is because he is both trying to heal and trying to get rid of his mother who tried to kill him. The cat in cover 3 is the communication cat, which is one of Hwamu’s powers made with his own blood.
About Possible 4th ML : Seok Ga-Yak
Seok Ga-Yak is an imperial prince. His real name is “Jin Ga-Yak”. JIN is the surname of the current Emperor.(Possible 4th lead)
He may or may not be the 4th ML. Seok Ga-Yak’s last appearance took place in Yeon’s coming of age ceremony. Here, he confessed that he is in fact a ‘JIN’.
Yeon realized that she might no longer able to see him in Seok Tae-Ui’s residence anymore. His duration of stay became significantly less as he grew older (from monthly to 4 months to….). The imperial palace is currently engaged in a deadly succession fight and ‘Jin Ga-Yak’ has been incognito throughout the whole time.
About her cousin
Actually, Baekri Liri did not bully Yuna but she is a spoiled child and despised her. In this life, when the twins blamed Yuna, she was by Yuna’s side, albeit by force. But she wasn’t a skilled, so Grandpa tried to get her married but Liri ran away to stay unmarried.
Baekri Myeongun’s meridians were destroyed because of her aunt’s fault. She wanted Baekri Pyo to be Baekri’s successor, so she made her own nephew drink poison.
Uncle serves as the temporary successor. Baekri Uigak was kicked out of the successor seat for taking Yayul into the family, so he serves as the temporary successor until Yuna takes over the family.
About Mc’s Mom
ARAN, a princess of Demonic Cult, is the name of Yeon’s mother. She is the Heavenly Demon’s daughter who rules the May Palace (One of HD factions. They become independent after the death of Heavenly Demon).
Aran appears in the Main story. There is no further face-to-face interaction between Yeon and Uigak yet. Yayul and Ryu-cheong personally met her first. Aran led Ry-cheong to where Uigang is (Yeon’s father is sick and is currently having seizures). Aran saved him, but she is also the one who poisoned Uigak before.
Aran received a letter from her subordinates. It was from Uigak.
There is finally a mother-daughter interaction in the Special Side Story. Baekri Yeon and Namgung Ryu-cheong went to the May Palace together with their daughter and son (Namely, Baekri Se-Hwa and Namgung Hee). Baekri Se-ran hasn’t been born yet.
The atmosphere is very civil. According to Yeon, She had no intention of ever having a mother-daughter relationship again. However, it was different for the children. She wanted them to make many relationships. It was for that sole reason why she maintained a relationship with and visited the Palace of May. She want to let her children know the wider world, to connect with people, to hear and to feel their stories. For those wondering why MC’s mom abandoned her, the situation is very complicated. It was a forbidden relationship, and both are not allowed to be together.
Aran is the Heavenly Demon’s daughter, and Uigak is the son of a political family in the Murim Alliance. The Demonic Cult and the Murim Alliance are both enemies, and it was an inevitable decision to keep Yeon’s mother a secret.
It didn’t specifically say anything other than in the later chapters where Aran didn’t truly abandon Yeon. There was probably another reason why she had to make that decision – which is unknown. (Maybe to protect Yeon from her father – H.D.) Yeon’s birth is literally a secret. Aran gave birth outside their domain (unknown to other cults). Those who were aware of the scandal were either silenced or killed for good. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Demon is an existence that knows everything, a being who can manipulate everyone’s destiny. After all, he is the one who arranges the fate of Aran and Uigak. Yeon was conceived as a result of the Heavenly Demon’s actions.
The dying message of the 3rd young master (one of H.D.’s sons) to Yeon: “Blood ties are meaningless to the Lord…You will understand soon” -> He died after fulfilling the order of his father
And her father will be alive, as he will be temporary head of the family
Yeon’s danjeon (Internal Qi) has been restored. She’ll be able to train like everyone else once her body recovers.
This is according to Uigak (Yeon’s father) in Chapter 296
Uigang’s air poisoning is also no longer there after he injected his ‘Jin Qi’ to save Yeon who is on the verge of dying. His hair, however, permanently turned white after this.
Webtoon’s Chapter 39 is:
Chapter 47 – 48 of the Novel
Chapter 158 – Seok Tae Ui stated that Baekri Myung lost most of his Inner Qi
Chapter 172 – Baekri Ui-gang abolished his sister’s meridians and will be sent to a rural village, Baekri Twins and Ui-ran will be removed from the family register, Baekri Matriarch will be put in an isolated house in the backyard, and Baekri Pae-Hyeok (Patriarch) is considering raising Yeon’s status as “Sogaju” – Heir
Chapter 271 – Yayul killed Baekri Ui-ran using absorption magic infront of everyone

Highly recommended 10/10!!!! I love their father-and-daughter relationships so much! As a person who lost her father at a young age. I really appreciate that kind of bonding with them and how much they open up with each other after she goes back in time. There’s also a lesson learned in this story about mending your relationship with your love ones before its too late🙂
