Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Webtoon/ manwha by Ant Studio, based on the light novels of the same name. The webcomic was licensed in English by Tapas Media under the name 50 Tea Recipes from the Duchess.Park Hajeong is an overworked accountant in South Korea with no friends or family, whose only comfort in life is brewing the perfect cup of tea. On the day Hajeong is fired from her terrible job, she drinks herself into unconsciousness and winds up isekai'd into the life of one Duchess Chloe, beautiful lady of the noble Vandenberg House and wife of the dashingly handsome Duke Alphonse. Living the life of a Duchess should be a nice change of pace for poor Hajeong, except for the fact that Chloe is dismissed by her cold husband, disrespected by the manor's servants, and disliked by all her "friends" in the Empire's upper class. The old Chloe was a timid, insecure woman who let everyone mistreat her for fear of being hated. The new Chloe isn't going to put up with that.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Determined to make the best of her situation, "Chloe" makes her first request of her husband since their wedding day over a year prior: she'd like some tea. Her request raises some eyebrows because in Chloe's world, the nobility disdains Hajeong's beloved tea as a bitter, barbaric beverage. Anyone who can afford to drinks coffee or wine instead. But Chloe isn't going to let that stop her from enjoying her tea, and sharing it with anyone willing to try some.Chloe's newfound confidence and passion put her on track to rebuild her reputation and regain the respect of her household. Her personality shift also catches the eye of her husband, who makes a request of his own: he'd like Chloe to brew him this strange new drink. Will Chloe be able to win over even the cold Duke's heart with a warm cup of tea?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Reincarnate in Another World | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_16f4798f | comment |
Reincarnate in Another World: Modern day office worker Park Hajeong drinks herself into an unconscious stupor after being fired from her high-stress job, only to wake up in the body of Duchess Chloe Vandenberg in a setting that resembles 19th century Europe. However, Hajeong discovers later she didn't actually die and had actually swapped bodies with Chloe, who assumed Hajeong's identity back on modern day Earth. | |

Green-Eyed Monster | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_1d2400e9 | comment |
Green-Eyed Monster: Ariana Bartlet deeply, to the point of obsession, loves Alphonse and resents Chloe for marrying him. She even goes so far as to try to sabotage Chloe's business and get Chloe arrested in order to get her out of the picture, believing that Alphonse will abandon Chloe and return Ariana's affections. Take a guess how well that works out. Arthur develops into this as well, as the Emperor starts relying more on Chloe and Alphonse than his own reckless child. Arthur's jealousy over the trust his father places in the Duke and Duchess combines with his own insecurities in the form of a self-destructive compulsion to undermine Alphonse and "win" Chloe's affection back at any cost. When that fails he turns to slandering Chloe's business and attacking Alphonse's advice for the Emperor, hoping to score his father's favor by tarnishing the Vandenberg reputation. | |

Stealth Pun | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: Chloe's parents are the Count and Countess Gray, who preside over the Earldom of Gray. Since "Count" is an equivalent rank to an "Earl", and "Lady" is a title that can refer to many ranks of noble women, that would make them "Earl Gray" and "Lady Gray." | |

Defrosting Ice Queen | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_28c1d543 | comment |
Defrosting Ice Queen: Alphonse starts out as the Ice Queen, having been molded into a cold, emotionally stunted man by his cruel and abusive father. He was content to ignore his wife so long as she kept to herself and eventually provided him with an heir, but the sudden personality change "Chloe" undergoes doesn't escape his notice. At first he's intrigued by her newfound confidence and her genuine passion for tea. Over time, the warmth and kindness Chloe shows him breaks down his defenses, and he comes to love her earnestly. When rumors start swirling that Chloe's inability to conceive after two years of marriage means she's infertile, and that Alphonse is going to divorce her for failing to provide an heir, he holds an extravagant party for the sole purpose of publicly announcing that he loves his wife and will throw the full weight of his ducal power into punishing anyone who dares to slander her. | |

How Unscientific! | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_2b5c636d | comment |
How Unscientific!: 90 chapters in, Chloe invents the afternoon tea service to cater to the empire's afternoon hunger pangs. It's mentioned that the time for dinner and sleep has been pushed back for nobles and commoners alike, because wizards invented mana-powered light globes less than a decade ago and the improved illumination allows for work, study, and social activities to continue into the night. Prior to the reveal that wizards and magic light sources are a part of the series, there had been no mention of magic or mana-powered Magitek artifacts. Later, Chloe is able to prove that her store's products have been tampered with because she arranged for magic orbs that record their surroundings to be installed in her shop. No prior mention had been made of "recording orbs" or other similar Magitek. | |

Inconvenient Attraction | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_2be1b5d0 | comment |
Inconvenient Attraction: In a bitter case of irony, after spurning the affections of the original Chloe, Arthur is in constant denial that's attracted to Chloe (really Hajeong in Chloe's body), knowing she's already married to Alphonse. He tries many times to get her to love him after noticing her changes, though he himself still denies his own feelings, but he eventually admits it to himself at the end, but only after he's put into exile for insubordination against his father, the Emperor. | |

Cardboard Box of Unemployment | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_2d26bfd6 | comment |
Cardboard Box of Unemployment: Happens in the first chapter. When a risky project Hajeong's boss foisted off on her fails spectacularly, said boss orders her to resign so that he can save face. The next panel shows Hajeong tearfully walking away from her office building as the sun sets, carrying a Bankers Box with books and papers inside. | |

"Freaky Friday" Flip | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_36754cc7 | comment |
"Freaky Friday" Flip: After more than 100 Chapters of not knowing what happened to the original Chloe (during which Hajeong has recurring nightmares that Chloe's consciousness will return and demand her body back), Hajeong finally finds a way to establish contact with Chloe. She discovers that Chloe's consciousness was transferred to Hajeong's body in modern-day South Korea. Hajeong tries to apologize for taking over Chloe's life, but Chloe stops her and insists that she's much happier living Hajeong's life — without the responsibilities and expectations that weighed her down before the swap, Chloe is free to slowly build up her confidence and pursue the education she was denied in her childhood home. | |

Took a Level in Kindness | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_3dcc914f | comment |
Took a Level in Kindness: Alphonse. He and Chloe become closer once they start having more to talk about such as business and he was extremely worried when she fainted due to overwork. This gets cemented as a full Heel–Face Turn from his previous personality when he finds out about Chloe's past abuse at the hands of her parents, realizing that Chloe had no one to support or help her growing up while he at least had his guardian Ms. Mason following the death of his own abusive father. | |

Parental Substitute | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_3f11ef74 | comment |
Parental Substitute: Alphonse has one in the form of his distant relative Ms. Mason who took care of Alphonse after his father's death and deprogrammed most of the behavior the previous Duke had instilled into Alphonse. They're on good enough terms that she willingly hugs him (and Chloe after becoming acquainted with her) at the end of her visit and he himself speaks well of her when discussing her visit with Chloe. | |

Flower Motifs: Flowers surround Chloe in a non-diegetic fashion whenever she looks particularly beautiful or happy. In later chapters, this happens whenever Alphonse looks at her lovingly, or whenever the two kiss. | |

Fashion-Shop Fashion Show: When Alphonse tells Chloe he wants to buy her some dresses, he takes her to a shop that sells cute nightgowns and revealing negligees. After Chloe gets her measurements taken, Alphonse prods her to try on some of the shop's samples. What follows is a fashion show with an increasingly flustered Chloe trying on skimpier and skimpier nighties at Alphonse's behest. | |

Fish out of Temporal Water | |

Fish out of Temporal Water: Hajeong and the original Chloe, who underwent a "Freaky Friday" Flip with the modern white-collar worker Hajeong stuck in the role of an aristocrat's wife and the manner-born Chloe thrust into a salary worker's shoes. Both girls wind up adapting to their new lives and are quite happy with how things have turned out. When Hajeong seeks the assistance of a "Saint" in order to establish contact with the original Chloe, the two wish each other well in their new lives and even agree to cheer each other on, knowing they won't be able to contact each other again after their brief reunion. | |

Hero of Another Story | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_581f6468 | comment |
Hero of Another Story: The original Chloe has been living as Hajeong the entire time Hajeong's been living in Chloe's body. By the time Hajeong is able to contact her (112 chapters in), Chloe has adjusted to living on Earth better than either of them expected. After waking up alone and confused in Hajeong's apartment, Chloe was able to make use of modern technology to explore and learn about the world. With access to Hajeong's savings, Chloe figured out how to live modestly while pursuing the education that was denied to her by her parents. Without the weight of expectations from her family and her status as a Duchess, the original Chloe is slowly overcoming her shyness. She thanks Hajeong for giving her a "new life," where she can decide her own fate and have hope for the future. | |

| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_5b607875 | comment |
Inconsistent Dub: Up until Tapas picked up the series translations to English were only undertaken by hobbyist translators, so there are inconsistencies in the names of even the main characters. Vadenberg/ Vandenberg/ Battenburg is the most glaring inconsistency. Thankfully in the Tapas translation, the name of Alphonse's house is settled to be Battenburg. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse??: One of Chloe's more notable rivals from the earlier chapters, a purple haired noble lady named Lady Belladonna, was quite an arrogant woman. She was dead set against Chloe introducing tea when Chloe held her first tea party, herself being a hardcore coffee drinker and having had a bad one-off experience with improperly prepared tea herself, but while Chloe is able to win over her other former tormentors with properly prepared tea, not only does Lady Belladonna never get won over, but once Chloe has made enough progress that the nobility have taken positive notice of her change, Lady Belladonna straight up disappears. She isn't referenced again save by her father, who ironically is a coffee maker and even wants to do business with Chloe and her teas, claiming his daughter has since come around and become a tea fanatic herself, which doesn't seem very believable given all of Belladonna's past anti-tea remarks, so it was more likely that he was using that as an excuse to get Chloe to do business, which even Chloe believes is more likely. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Colleen's attempts to plead for her life after she is caught by Alphonse's knights, hoping that Chloe would be merciful to her. Chloe, the same woman she has been ruthless to since childhood for the sake of making sure SHE wouldn't be bullied because of her poorer lifestyle and went out of her way to try and murder once she realized that Chloe was becoming a better person (in reality it was cause Hajeong swapped bodies with the real Chloe). And Colleen REALLY thinks that it will all be swept under the rug just because she begged. The look on her face when Alphonse tells her that it was CHLOE who gave him full rights to punish Colleen as he sees fit sums up everything perfectly. Arania's plan to destroy Chloe is to frame her for a health code violation by paying a man to break into Chloe's shop and placing dead rats everywhere. However, because she had thrown a violent tantrum at the mention of Chloe in front of the last friend she had left, that very same former friend warned Chloe of Arania's insanity and intentions, which in turn lead to Chloe planting safety measures that lead to Arania's arrest. It happens again when, after being caught by royal guards, Arania tries to publicly slander Chloe by claiming she was a vulgar wife in bed with her husband, to which Alphonse himself comes in and berates her, reminding her of the vow he made to punish those who slander Chloe with the full force of his ducal power, and tells Arania that she has doomed her family to ruin as he vows to ERASE her family's name from the noble family registry. Arania begs Alphonse to leave Chloe, claiming that Chloe was undeserving of him and that she should be the one who owns his affection, which Alphonse shoots down coldly by revealing that he would NEVER love her, even if he was reborn in the past anew. Her own face as she realizes all she did was make the man she one-sidedly loved thoroughly hate her for what she did, as well as her own broken pleas for him to look at her again are exactly as imagined. | |

Villainous Breakdown: After Ariana is caught and arrested for trying to sabotage Chloe's tea store, she rants to Alphonse that she loves him and he shouldn't do this to her, as Chloe is in her eyes undeserving of his affections. Once he coldly and bluntly tells her he'll never love her, not even in another life, she breaks down crying, pathetically begging him not to go. | |

Marriage of Convenience | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_9b34ee31 | comment |
Marriage of Convenience: The marriage of Alphonse and the original Chloe was based on a contract that would serve them both. Alphonse needed a wife who would not distract him with trivial emotions like "love," and to provide an heir for his family's wealth and title — Chloe was a perfect match because was a shy, biddable girl from a poorer, less powerful noble house. Chloe needed a husband to provide her with social standing and financial security — Alphonse's offer was practically a godsend after she was embarrassed by the Prince. It's later revealed that Chloe's parents always intended to "sell her off" to whatever suitor would be most politically advantageous. | |

The two visit a priest that allows Hajeong to talk to the original Chloe, who had taken over Hajeong's body. The two part on good terms and wish each other good luck in their new lives. This does not change Alphonse's feelings for Hajeong-in-Chloe's body. | |

Nice to the Waiter: Even before she regains her social status among the nobility, Chloe goes out of her way to show kindness to the manor's servants to the point they have nothing but praises for her. One chapter even has Chloe help one of her servants win over her in-laws by teaching her tea cocktail recipes. | |

Giving Radio to the Romans | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_a8371e84 | comment |
Giving Radio to the Romans: A Downplayed example, but Hajeong introduces certain modern conveniences and information to Chloe's 19th-century-esque world that might otherwise have taken decades (or longer) to develop or be discovered: Chloe notices that one of the manor's food suppliers has a problem with an overstocked warehouse full of cheese, and offers him a marketing solution to get rid of the cheese (without having to sell it at a loss) if he'll share the profits with her. When he agrees, she tells him to hide a single gold coin in each wheel of cheese and promote it as "lottery cheese" — customers who would otherwise get their cheese from other sellers will flock to his business on the chance that their purchase of cheese contains the coin. When Chloe opens her own business selling tea, jam, and pastries, she enforces modern sanitation standards on her kitchen staff. That includes hand washing, hair nets, and a no-tolerance policy for vermin in the shop or back rooms (and no cats either, which would have been the prevalent form of pest control back in the day). Any restaurant or shop that wants to sell her products has to follow her standards and submit to an inspection of their premise before she'll allow them to become a business partner. Chloe creates a cure for scurvy in the form of rosehip tea (which Chloe knows to be packed with vitamin C), and is awarded the country's highest civilian honor for her miraculous "discovery." When asked how she knew rosehip tea would cure the terrible disease, she invents a story about having met an orphan with scurvy in the past who was cured when she recommended rosehip tea for the drink's energy boosting qualities. Sweet potatoes have been recently "discovered" in Chloe's world, but they have a bad reputation for being ugly produce that only the poor are desperate enough to eat, so not many farmers are willing to grow them. Chloe knows sweet potatoes are a healthy food that can provide a cheap, sustainable supplement to the nation's diet. She raises the produce's profile first by having Alphonse wear a sweet potato flower in his buttonhole to garner interest amongst the nobility, then by introducing a special seasonal menu at her shop that's loaded with sweet potato-infused teas and desserts. Once the nobility has gone into a full-blown sweet potato frenzy, farmers all over the country begin to grow the crop. The surplus of sweet potatoes makes the crop available to even the poorest kitchens, while the popularity of the ingredient means no one will turn their nose up at it. After commissioning a local pottery maker to create a line of tea pots, tea cups, and other crockery for her restaurant, Chloe suggests that he experiment with using cow bone powder in his next batch of porcelain. Though the pottery maker is skeptical of using such an odd ingredient, he admits that he needs to innovate in order to keep up with the fine pottery being imported from On (the equivalent of China in their Fictional Earth), and is ultimately overjoyed when her suggestion leads to porcelain that is lighter, stronger, and more beautiful than anything he's ever created before. Chloe has prompted the pottery maker to "invent" bone china. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: Colleen's reaction during an important party when, after a failed attempt to ruin Chloe by having her dressed in outdated clothes identical to Alphonse's ex (which is foiled thanks to Lady Fortnum helping Chloe find more appropriate clothes), she realizes by Chloe staring RIGHT AT HER with a look of disgust, that she's been found out and tries to flee. Unfortunately for her, Alphonse's knights catch and lock her up to be dealt with after the party. Colleen has another one when after a pathetic attempt to beg for her life by saying that Chloe would surely forgive her, Alphonse himself tells her that it was Chloe who gave full permission for him to punish Colleen as he sees fit. Cue Colleen getting 300 lashings and a death sentence by hanging for her crimes. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Alphonse's father, Duke Ludwig Vandenberg, was emotionally and physically abusive to his son. From the age of three, Alphonse was ordered to study history, law, etiquette, and swordsmanship from sunup until well after nightfall. Ludwig demanded that Alphonse show no emotion during his training, and punished the young boy harshly for any slip-up. When Alphonse rebelled against this treatment and questioned why he was being raised in this manner, his father had him locked away in a coat closet for months until the boy's will was broken and he submitted to his father's demands. He dies when Alphonse is a young teen, and this leaves the boy in the loving care of Ms. Mason, but even with her love and care helping undo most of the damage, it's implied that Alphonse still carries the mental trauma of his father's actions. Some 80 chapters in it's revealed that the original Chloe's parents, Count and Countess Gray, were emotionally abusive towards Chloe as a child. They refused to let her pursue an education like her brother because they believed it would be wasted on a girl. They made it abundantly clear to Chloe from a young age that they saw her as a bargaining chip to be married away when she came of age, and when that happened she would belong totally to her future husband — they even took to calling her an "outsider" to their own family. Their treatment of the original Chloe resulted in her rock-bottom self esteem and her nigh-pathological fear of rejection as an adult. The Gray's attitude hasn't changed in the two years since Chloe's marriage. Although they're polite at first, they only go to the trouble of visiting her at her new home because they think they'll be able to get some money out of her after squandering their assets on a business deal gone awry, and when "Chloe" refuses to give them what they want they quickly turn violent. Unbeknownst to the Grays their anxious, biddable daughter has been replaced by the headstrong Hajeong, who now has the unwavering support of her husband Alphonse — the same Alphonse who had sworn to use the full weight of his title, finances, and connections to destroy anyone who attacked or dishonored his wife. | |

Of Corset Hurts | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_be795a6c | comment |
Of Corset Hurts: At the beginning of the story, Chloe's everyday wardrobe includes rather tight corsetry (even if she's not planning on leaving the house or dressing up for an event). In later chapters she mentions her corset is so tight that she can't really eat her fill at a fancy dinner party she and Alphonse have been invited too. She gets so fed up with the fashion that she starts a trend among noble ladies of "loosening" corsets when taking afternoon tea in the company of other women, and the narration points out that this lead to the eventual abandonment of corsets as a support garment. | |

When All You Have Is a Hammer… | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_bf698238 | comment |
When All You Have is a Hammer…: Or in Chloe's case, "when all you have is tea." Chloe uses a liberal application of her love for tea to solve all the problems that her new world throws at her: Can't make friends? Brew some tea and share it with your acquaintances. Cold, emotionally distant husband? Brew him a warm cup of tea to show you care. Need to earn the approval of the woman who raised your husband? Make some cold mint tea to help refresh her on the hot day she arrives as well as appeal to her love of sweets. Social standing damaged by the flaky, timid attitude of the previous inhabitant of your body? Open a business selling tea and tea-infused products, promote it with 21st century advertising practices, and make your product the hottest commodity on the block. Your servant is having trouble getting along with her in laws? Teach her some tea cocktail recipes to win them over. Villagers in your territory getting sick with scurvy? Brew them tea that's packed with vitamin C and "invent" the cure (generating a new source of revenue for that otherwise impoverished territory as they harvest the ingredients for your curative tea). International relations with the East in a delicate place? Show your mastery at brewing their tea to prove your kingdom's commitment to strengthening cultural and economic ties between your two countries. The Empire is suffering from commoners drinking too much gin? Make your trendy, caffeinated tea easily made and affordable for them to drink instead. | |

Defusing the Tyke-Bomb | |

Defusing The Tykebomb: Part of Alphonse's backstory with Ms. Mason. She spent years trying to deprogram him of as much of his abusive father's lessons and Alphonse's personal traumas as she could after Ludwig died. While she succeded in helping Alphonse find a way through much the damage, the emotional scars remain deep in and even partially explain Alphonse's personality at the beginning. By the end of the story, he's gotten much better thanks to Chloe's love and support as well as his own character development. | |

Unlimited Wardrobe | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_d50a5478 | comment |
Unlimited Wardrobe: Practically every chapter sees Chloe wearing a new Hollywood Costuming / Gorgeous Period Dress outfit, and it seems she almost never wears the same outfit twice. It makes sense in-universe since Chloe is the wife of a wealthy Duke, so buying new gorgeous gowns isn't a financial problem. That's not to say that she doesn't seem to have a favorite, as she does wear light green dresses quite often, specifically one particular spring green gown with lots of bows, white and pastel yellow accents and little white gloves (aka the dress she wears in the promo image), which she seems to favor the most, especially during the earlier chapters. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Arthur's father, the Emperor, is a pretty cool guy. He doesn't devalue Chloe's worth because of her being a woman, is happy to give justifiable credit when it is earned, truly cares for the health and welfare of his people and wants to keep diplomacy between his empire and other countries high and well. He is also willing to listen to all sides and doesn't take any immediately until all have presented their cases, but also doesn't allow anyone to try and utilize their own authority as an excuse for why they're right. This extends to his own son Arthur, where after Arthur continuously tries to bring down Alphonse's house out of spite for his successes as well as an anger at Chloe for not falling for him, the Emperor exiles his son for an indefinite amount of time to go across the sea to the east to learn from them. Now he is fair to Arthur, telling him to reflect on his actions and that he can come home when he has learned well, though part of this is also because he genuinely loves Arthur and wants him to do well, especially because Arthur is his only son, but nonetheless, he does imply that Arthur must prove he has learned his lesson before he can come home. | |

Hollywood Costuming | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_e46f71c3 | comment |
Hollywood Costuming: In chapter 83 Chloe and Alphonse ring in the new year for 1766, but the costuming in the series as a whole seems to borrow more heavily from the silhouettes of the late 19th and early 20th century. Additionally, Chloe wears her long hair loose, which would have been unusual (even scandalous) for a married woman of the time. Other noble women in the series wear equally anachronistic hairstyles like pigtails, bobs/ flips, and high side-ponytails. Even the menswear of the nobility is composed of suits with long trousers, fitted jackets, military-inspired greatcoats, and jabots/ cravats/ neckties — all elements which didn't come into vogue until the 1800's. | |

Fallen Princess | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_efac5012 | comment |
Fallen Princess: Colleen, Chloe's head maid. She was once the daughter of a noble family who bullied Chloe when they were younger due to the latter's timid nature making her an easy target (which also helped to deflect attention from Colleen's family's failing fortunes, ensuring the other noble children didn't turn their cruelty against Colleen). Once her family lost all their money, Colleen was forced to work as a maid in Chloe's household. She is so thoroughly obsessed with bringing Chloe down that even in her adulthood, she has been going behind Chloe's back and interfering with her orders to make Chloe look incompetent, and to stroke Colleen's own ego so she could feel superior to her master. Once Chloe swaps with Hajeong and starts making changes that gains the approval of the house, Colleen vehemently denies that the Duchess has become a better woman as she wants Chloe to remain hated and mocked so Colleen can remain (in her mind at least) better than Chloe, somehow convinced that if Chloe isn't mocked even into adulthood, then SHE will be. Colleen actively attempts to ruin Chloe's reputation and is consistently foiled by Hajeong's clever solutions, which only further improves the Duchess' reputation in the house. The final straw comes when Colleen almost sends Chloe and some of the other maids to picnic in an area of the woods filled with killer beasts, hoping Chloe will either die or get disfigured from an attack should she survive, but thankfully the group is stopped in the nick of time by the knights of the Vandenberg Estate. After getting a confession out of her maids, Chloe informs Alphonse of Colleen's actions and gives him full permission to punish her as he sees fit. This leads to Colleen's eventual death after she is found guilty of attempting to slander Chloe's honor and then murder Chloe. | |

Food Porn | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_f23ad6de | comment |
Food Porn: Tea porn. In her previous life, Hajeong's hobby was studying and drinking teas from all over the world. She amassed an impressive body of knowledge on all subjects having to do with tea; brewing and mixing tea blends, how to heat the water to conserve the oxygen content, making up for a shortage or overabundance of minerals in water from different regions, types of glassware that should be drunk out of to enhance each tea's profile (and their manufacturing methods), and of course, the history of the teas themselves. Whenever she describes the unique flavors and growing conditions of the tea she brews, readers are treated to lovingly rendered illustrations of fruits, flowers, and tea plantation fields evocative of the flavor profile of the tea. This serves as a visual reminder that Hajeong is an expert on the subject. | |

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good | |
| The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes (Webcomic) / int_f8e010ce | comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Colleen is SO insistent that Chloe would never change her old pathetic ways that she writes off all the servants' words of gratitude toward her as nothing and even physically assaults a kitchen maid who comes to Chloe's defense (interestingly, this same kitchen maid was once a scapegoat of the old Chloe's actions when she got punished for a mistake old Chloe made and has since come to accept her master's change of heart after new Chloe tells her that she doesn't have to be forgive her (Chloe)). These actions are what help contribute to Colleen's eventual death as by the time she does wrap her head around Chloe being a genuinely reformed woman, Chloe has gotten wise to Colleen's antics and Colleen has been outed as an attempted murderer for her earlier action of knowingly sending Chloe to a monster infested forest with hopes that she would either die or become disfigured from an attack. Heck, with that context in mind, her attempts to plead for mercy from Alphonse and addressing Chloe for the first time in a positive light by saying "the merciful madam" could come off as her trying to use false apologies and honey sweetened words to escape punishment. Thankfully she doesn't and pays for her crimes with her life after a very harsh punishment from Alphonse and a sentencing from the judge. Colleen ends up on the gallows for the price of her ego being unable to handle Chloe's new self. | |

Bad to the Last Drop | |

Bad to the Last Drop: With tea's popularity suddenly skyrocketing thanks to Chloe's campaigning, there are of course unscrupulous merchants trying to make some quick cash on counterfeit products. When an acquaintance complains to Chloe that that last batch of tea she bought made her physically ill, Chloe takes it upon herself to investigate. She goes undercover as a buyer, and the merchant her acquaintance purchased the tea from offers her a sample of disgusting, foul-smelling water while claiming it's high quality tea. Chloe inspects his wares and finds the prepackaged tea he's selling contains random leaves, wood chips, and dried ink to make the resulting beverage darker. No wonder his clients were getting sick! | |
