Spent the first fcking chapters wishing that guy wasn't the ML cuz wdym he's been treating her LIKE SHT since they were KIDS mind you, so it's years of emotional trauma or neglect he gave her and I'm supposed to root for him as if he didn't just push her to her limit. Like, do you understand how exhausted FMC is to the point she doesn't even have any resentment anymore and thinks it's normal for her fiance to spend time with his childhood friend. And then we get HIS pov and his reason why he's been neglecting her and it's just a stupid excuse if you can even call it that. His excuse was because he forgot? Wtf. How do you claim to love and care for someone but at the same time forget to reply to her letters and actively choose someone else. (Cause spending ZERO lunch with her, even NOT escorting her to balls which is very vital to a society like this, like he's waving a gigantic flag that says he does NOT give a fck about her at all.) I was so fcking happy when Claude was introduced cause I thought finally, she has someone who can match her ambition and personality. But no, unfortunately he has a fiance and he's pretty fcked up in communication skills himself. I WISH FMC will end up choosing herself and just enjoy women friendship and her independence cause that man has literally put her emotions through war and stomped on it. (Not to mention, he embarrassed her by YELLING at the ball in front of the Prince by claiming he doesn't intend to let her go. What a piece of sht.) Even until chapter 19, I do not root for him at all. I wish he'd fail and just wallow in his own self-made misery. The chapter are also written comedically, which in hindsight, COULD be funny but I was not laughing at all, cause the scene of the princess realizing MC is always with her and not his fiance just pissed me the fck off. I couldn't laugh cause this highlights just how neglectful he was to her. Him trying to win her back also irritates me cause why now. Anyway, I know this is the point of the story, for MC to redeem himself and a happily ever after, but I wish they'd take it to a different direction cause FMC would wake up married to a guy who spent almost HALF their lives treating her like she's expendable. Great read tho! Would love more chapters !
