The Baby Raising a Devil (아기는 악당을 키운다), the highly anticipated childcare fantasy manhwa adapting the hit 2019 web novel by Lisya, will release The Baby Raising a Devil Chapter 45 for English fast-scan readers next Monday, May 18, 2026.
If you have been keeping up with Leblaine’s fourth life, you know she has finally secured her place in the incredibly dangerous (but overwhelmingly doting) villainous Dubbled family. Having died miserably in her first three lives after being falsely labeled a fake “Child of Fate”, Leblaine’s original goal was just to survive long enough to hoard some money and defect. Instead, she has accidentally turned the kingdom’s most terrifying villains into her completely obsessed, overprotective father and brothers.

Why The Baby Raising a Devil Chapter 45 Matters
The English fast-scan teams (such as Utoon and EZManga) have been releasing chapters consistently over the weekends and Mondays. The manhwa is currently deep into the political arcs where Leblaine must use her knowledge from her past three lives to secure the Dubbled family’s power and protect them from the Temple (who caused her previous deaths).
What makes Chapter 45 so critical? Because the manhwa is directly adapting a completed Korean web novel (which spans 365 chapters), readers already know the trajectory of the plot. Chapter 45 corresponds to a major shift in the novel where Leblaine moves from purely defensive strategies into active retaliation against the Temple’s supporters.
The Baby Raising a Devil Chapter 45 Spoilers (Based on the Novel)
According to the original novel chapters, here is what you can expect from this highly anticipated release:
Viscount’s Meeting
Spoilers indicate that Chapter 45 will heavily feature the political fallout of Leblaine’s recent actions. The chapter focuses on Viscount Roman secretly summoning his vassals for an emergency meeting. The nobility, particularly those aligned with the Temple, are starting to realize that the Dubbled family’s new “adopted child” is not just a cute mascot, but a terrifyingly intelligent political player.
Doting Villains
Despite the political tension, the core appeal of the series remains the comedy of the villainous family spoiling Leblaine. Fans anticipate that while Leblaine is secretly plotting against the Viscount and the Temple, her father and brothers will be actively competing over trivial things, like who gets to hold her or buy her the most expensive dresses, completely unaware of how deeply she is manipulating the kingdom’s economy.
