A girl and her brothersNote
Hari was adopted into the Erenst family and spent years being treated derisively due to her step brothers not accepting her and claiming that she is only brought in as a replacement of their dead sister. But now that is all done and over with as Hari is now about to be married to a perfect fiance... or at least that was the plan until Hari found herself back into her 7 year old body.
"Beware of The Brothers" started as a webnovel created by Plutus of Who Made Me a Princess Fame and is Plutus' first work in general, so it served as a prequel to the Shared Universe of Who Made Me A Princess in a sense. The webcomic can be found in Korean here
.
This Webtoon contains examples of:
- Accidental Time Travel: The story starts with Hari on her way to be wedded with Johan but was brought back in time as a 7 year old for reasons unknown.
- Abusive Parents: Adoptive aunt in this case. Leonald never accepted Hari's adoption into the family even if it was just because she happened to physically resemble the deceased Arina Erenst and went out of her way to verbally and physically abuse her.
- Identical Stranger: Hari looks near identical to the deceased Arina Erenst, which is why she was adopted into the family. In reality, the other reason is that Hari is adopted to help heal Duchess Erenst's depression following Arina's death.
- In Spite of a Nail: The Erenst couple still died despite Hari's time travel as Hari's attempts to improve the relationship of the Erenst family can only delay the time when the Erenst couple are eventually killed in an accident.
- Metaphorically True: Hari only had her own experience to look on considering what had happened in her past. This changes in time as her mentally 27 year old mind meant she realized that she doesn't actually have the full picture regarding the state of the Erenst family and recognizes that her adoptive brothers are victims of circumstances, the same as her.
- Not Blood Siblings: The Erenst brothers are Hari's adopted siblings. When Hari eventually started liking Eugene romantically, her name is taken out of the sibling's registry so she could be brought in as a spouse.
- Parents as People: As much as the Erenst couple love their children with all their heart, Duchess Erenst is still grieving horribly in the light of Arina's death and unconsciously treated Hari as Arina on more than one occasion, which led to the brothers having a huge issue with Hari. Duke Erenst is trying his best to help his wife but it comes at the expense of his biological sons emotional turmoil. It was only after Eugene decided to step up that things have improved.
- Perfectly Arranged Marriage: Hari would have been in one with Johan, if she hadn't time travelled accidentally. Hari completely forgets about her relationship with at some point after going back in time and ends up liking Eugene romantically.
- Rewatch Bonus: A lot of the reactions and actions the Erenst family had only made sense once you read further and look back. Such as Eugene trying to take Hari's yellow candy away because they are actually painkiller drugs.
- Replacement Goldfish: What the brothers initially perceived Hari's adoption as and why they had a hard time accepting her in the first timeline. For them, Hari can never be Arina. Duchess Erenst unconsciously treated Hari as one for her biological daughter and Eugene seeing the painkillers in disguise of candy for Hari is one of the first things that made him decide to speak up about this after a trip out town.
- Shared Universe: With Who Made Me a Princess, with the series taking place in Obelia's neighboring country, Arlanta.
- Time Travel: Hari time traveled back to when she was 7 years old. The problem is, Hari had already started to get along better with her brothers by the time she is about to get married before waking up as a 7 year old again, making her case an Accidental Time Travel.
