The first twelve years of Leslie Sperà do's life were wrought with misery. Expected to do nothing but support her elder sister Ellie, starved when she didn't perform up to standards, faced in front of a mirror to tell herself how useless she is...It all culminates when her father has her thrown into a fire. Leslie survives, but the experience awakens something in her, the dark magic that the Sperà do family has, but to a much greater degree than either her father or sister. Fearing her life is in danger if she stays in the Sperà do home, but needing a guardian to protect her until she reaches adulthood, Leslie approaches Duke Salvator, matriarch of a family alleged to have monster blood in their veins, and asks to be adopted.Intrigued by Leslie's request, the Duke agrees to protect her and thus begins the saga of The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter. As the Duke and her family help Leslie learn to protect herself, Leslie may experience true affection and joy for the first time in all her life.The novel and webtoon have both reached their conclusions. The webtoon can be found in the original Korean here. The website Tapas has licensed it as well, and the official English translation can be read here. | |

"It" Is Dehumanizing | |
| The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter (Manhwa) / int_16ad6f7f | comment |
"It" Is Dehumanizing: So they don't see themselves as murderers, the Sperà do family calls all their silvered haired children "it" or "that" to each other, and to outsiders, while calling said child "useless" to their face. Leslie finds out, to her horror, by checking the census at the library, that even children of the poorest commoners get a three day mourning period, minimum, for a funeral. The Sperà do children who fell to "mysterious illness or accident" would be lucky to get a full day. | |

Poor Communication Kills: Compleely subverted, anytime Leslie has some kind of problem, she goes and asks her parents (and they likewise tell her important information) rather than agonize over it. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter (Manhwa) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: In the beginning and middle of the story, Leslie angsts a little about the contract making her a part of the Salvator family until she's 18, hoping she can extend it once the moment comes. It disappears as the story goes on due to how evident it is that they wouldn't dream of kicking her out, and doesn't get a single mention once she's 15 and onwards, likely because Leslie is already Happily Adopted by then. | |

| The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter (Manhwa) / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: The Duke and Leslie gradually become the only sane members of the Salvator household. This is illustrated best when the men, including the generally sensible Ruenti start gushing about Leslie's birthday and proposing all sorts of extravagant gifts, including festivals and streets named after her. Acela laughs while Leslie can only facepalm as the conversation carries on. | |

Mistaken Age | |
| The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter (Manhwa) / int_309f770a | comment |
Mistaken Age: Characters frequently mistake twelve year-old Leslie for being about nine or ten, as she is smaller and skinnier than she should be for her age due to her abusive upbringing including not feeding her properly. This is exaggerated when she meets Bethrion. Between his only frame of reference being Ruenti and the fact that his family are all naturally large people, he initially assumes Leslie is five. | |

Hero with Bad Publicity | |
| The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter (Manhwa) / int_313e9485 | comment |
Hero with Bad Publicity: The Salvator house. Every single one of them is a One-Man Army or One-Woman Army, in the case of the titular Duke, and they are war heroes the Recardius Empire relies on for survival, to defend them against their enemies, yet the local talk about them is anything but kind, and mostly untrue. Said rumors are a direct result of all the other noble houses and the crown being afraid and jealous of their Super-Strength. Ironically, this is what causes Leslie to seek them out for aid in the first place. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter (Manhwa) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: If you can get past the Sperà do family's false exteriors, almost everyone instantly knows they're pure scum that fly straight into Stupid Evil. The Salvators on the other hand are feared and hated publicly for their power, but as direct enforcers to the emperor they refuse to carry the Idiot Ball for even a second while the Sperà dos keep screwing up in their attempts to take Leslie before finally initiating the Noble's Trial. The result is nigh-unanimously in Salvator's favor and, short of the Child Protection Act problem, no one really expected otherwise. Before said trial, Marquis Sperà do's numerous plans failed but he still had the reputation and political power to even get the trial in the first place, not to mention manipulating word of mouth through backhanded means. When finally put in the public of court, his lack of thorough planning and Hair-Trigger Temper destroys his reputation in short time as he repeatedly demonstrates how unstable and downright psychotically angry he can be when things don't go his way, on top of throwing other groups like the entire magician's guild under the bus as in the palms of the Salvators even as they're attending. | |

| The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter (Manhwa) / int_4f6d87f7 | comment |
Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Leslie was brought up with the bare minimum of food required to survive and looks about half her age as a result, while the Salvators are a family of giants who tower even over normal adults, let alone a malnourished child. This makes her look even younger and smaller than she already did. While she eventually grows in height by the Time Skip in the novel, she is still relatively tiny compared to the rest of the Salvators. | |

Dark Is Not Evil: Zigzagged. Dark magic is neither good nor evil, it just is, like shadows. Its current user is Leslie and is called the "Dark Saint" by Duke Salvator. However, the bloodline from which it hails, the Sperà do, have been engaged in Human Sacrifice to bestow it upon their favored offspring, killing all the "useless" silver-haired siblings, for at least 1000 years. | |

Fantastic Racism: The Sperà do family teaches its blonde, green-eyed children that they are the best at everything and deserve the best the world has to offer, just for the asking. They treat all of their other children with disdain and abuse. Children with silver hair are offered up as a Human Sacrifice to empower their blonde children with the black magic they steal from said silver-haired children. Also most of the empire is stated to be extremely xenophobic towards outsiders which is one of the reasons Medea was so embittered and driven to villainy. | |

Black-and-Grey Morality: The Salvator family does have a history of morally dubious behavior, but still treat their friends, allies, servants, and each other with genuine kindness and affection, especially the sweet little Leslie. Their enemies, especially the Sperà do, are morally pitch-black, doing things that are evil, purely because it is evil, but have the gall to openly call themselves "righteous" and only pretend to have redeeming features, for the sake of appearances and to prevent punishment from coming their way. | |

Yin-Yang Clash | |
| The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter (Manhwa) / int_76ce27d3 | comment |
Yin-Yang Clash: Divine magic and and Arcane magic oppose each other so to say the temple and the magician's mansion don't get along is an understatement. The two types of magic can not interact with one another. This is precisely why, at one point, Duke Salvator mixes a bit of magic in when she breaks Marquis Sperà do's arm; by doing so she ensures the arm can't be healed using divine magic and the Marquis has to recover the old-fashioned way. Debaine is actually from a bloodline that is this personified and most of her relatives died extremely young. The only reason she lasted before meeting Medea, who helped stabilize her, was because both magics were extremely powerful. | |

| The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter (Manhwa) / int_77e45bb5 | comment |
Why Did You Make Me Hit You?: The entire Sperà do family does this to Leslie, from the moment she was old enough to walk and talk, until they "have no other choice" but to throw her in a fire, with her father yelling at her "Don't you know dying in your sister's place is your destiny?! Naive brat! Don't you know you are useless?!" | |

Armor-Piercing Question | |
| The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter (Manhwa) / int_7b6e47a5 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Question: When the Duke shows Leslie her facial scar in order to understand the woman she wants to be her mother, the Duke anticipates Leslie will recoil in shock or fear. Instead, she asks softly, "Doesn't it hurt?" and stuns the Duke for a moment at this empathic response. | |

Arranged Marriage | |
| The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter (Manhwa) / int_80621707 | comment |
Arranged Marriage: These are a common thing among the noble houses to gain or regain power and influence. Marquis Sperà do had been able to use his waning influence to secure Ellie as the Crown Prince Alendro's fiance. Their losing the Noble Trial and things said there have jeopardized this and the Emperor is considering revoking this arrangement. Duke Salvator has endured many proposals from noble families to marry into hers. After Leslie becomes a Salvators, she too receives a proposal from the eldest son of a prominent merchant noble, who is also about 13 years Leslie's senior. | |

Parental Favoritism: The Sperà do family, for at least 1000 years, favors the first born, without exception, and raises any siblings with silver hair to be a Human Sacrifice so that the heir will "awaken" Dark Magic. The Duchess' husband goes gaga over his adopted daughter, but it's downplayed by the fact that both his sons, a) are adults, and b), join in. | |

Spell My Name With An S: The scanlations don't always spell the character's names the same way from time to time. Marquis Sperà do's real name is Travis, but recent chapters called him Tra Vesh, likely a translation error. At one point, Duke Salvator's first name, Aleca, was spelled as Acela. | |

Traumatic Superpower Awakening: Leslie's ability to control Dark Magic is triggered when she's thrown into a fire, by her own father, and a bunch of spirits, presumably the many, many others sacrificed over the years, pushing her out a window, falling into a river far below. | |

Rule of Three | |

Rule of Three: The Sperà dos attempted to burn Leslie at least three times, including at the very beginning of the story as a sacrifice, and in a carriage after she rebels against them and makes her first visit to the Duke to test if she has magic. The third attempt being the last time the Sperà dos attempted to burn Leslie, after they lose the Noble Trial. | |

Scars Are Forever | |

Scars Are Forever: Played With. Leslie's burn scars are cured by a cleric, at the request of Duke Salvator. For the Duke herself, she has a scar that's too deep and too deforming to cure, so she wears a mask. Her husband has a scar on his face it’s implied he kept because his wife gave it to him when they first met. | |

Stupid Evil | |
| The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter (Manhwa) / int_affd30b0 | comment |
If you can get past the Sperà do family's false exteriors, almost everyone instantly knows they're pure scum that fly straight into Stupid Evil. The Salvators on the other hand are feared and hated publicly for their power, but as direct enforcers to the emperor they refuse to carry the Idiot Ball for even a second while the Sperà dos keep screwing up in their attempts to take Leslie before finally initiating the Noble's Trial. The result is nigh-unanimously in Salvator's favor and, short of the Child Protection Act problem, no one really expected otherwise. | |

Abusive Parents: The most benevolent memory Leslie has of her life in the Sperà do house? Having her mother march her up to a mirror, and then being forced to tell her own reflection "you're useless." Sir Konrad's father won't win any prizes either, after he abused him for siding with Leslie and the Salvators against the Sperà dos during the trial for custody. | |

Hero Ball: Usually the cast are incredibly efficient about trying to keep Leslie out of danger once the Sperà dos make their intentions known. But then Leslie herself grasps onto this firmly for the meeting with Amroa, not wanting her several knight bodyguards or taking off the strangely heavy bracelet she was given to at all disrespect the only woman that's ever respected her before the Salvators. Leslie nearly burns alive for this unusually reckless behavior, though as an upside, this sinks any mercy the Emperor had left for the Sperà dos as well and leads Ellie and the Marquess to getting their just desserts, and Leslie is incredibly self-conscious about the reckless decisions made here. | |

Irony: The Sperà do's entire lineage have coasted on their powerful dark magic as a bargaining tool they exploited, sacrificing their own children to attain it and abusing them to the point that they won't ever fight back. When it came Leslie's turn, the past sacrifices helped save her via that magic - that she was actually the rightful owner of, as were all the sacrifices. This bites the family in the ass when she finally pushes back, and their attempts to control or even kill Leslie to keep their status quo ends up ruining them because they have no idea how to react when things don't go their way for once while proclaiming they're the victims for being denied what is theirs. | |

She Is the King: The official English translation gives Aleca the title of Duke rather Duchess. The Korean title uses a phrase which literally means 'Duke' and technically the term 'Duchess' is usually reserved for those who marry a Duke. Aleca didn't marry a Duke, she inherited the title, so it is actually more appropriate that she holds the title 'Duke' rather than 'Duchess.' | |

It's later revealed this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened, as Bethrion asked the same thing as a child... in front of royalty. | |

To try and maintain their standing in the empire, they have been murdering their own children for Human Sacrifice, and do their damnedest to be utterly despicable to Leslie, while daring to call themselves "noble and righteous," and the current Marquis, Leslie's father, is absolutely desperate to hold on the family title of "the masters of Dark Magic," no matter how vile the actions he has to take are. | |

Cain and Abel: Ellie covets the power Leslie is born with and wants her dead to not just obtain the power, but return things to how they were before. Marquis Sperà do is the eldest of three siblings. His younger brothers were treated like slaves to the elder brother, being beaten and injured regularly. When they were sold to slavery, one died in the carriage crash and the other escaped and survived in secret. In the history of the Empire there has been at least one case of this for the Emperor himself. Emperor Rowtten killed not just his brother Amgrample but every other living member of their family to secure his ascension to the throne. | |

This causes her to snap and accept that her treatment from the Sperà do family will never improve, causing her to flee to the Salvators for asylum. From there, the story spends a lot of time showing how much her new family cherishes her. | |

The Dog Bites Back: As early as chapter 3, Leslie, rightly, gets fed up with all the abuse she's suffered at the hands of the Sperà do family, and starts pushing back, at which point, her father, mother, elder sister, and all the household servants start treating her like she's evil, insane, and insanely evil. | |
