To force a child into this that she can't differentiate between sacrifice and genuine happiness is killing me. Fuck her family for putting her up to this, I pity no one. Glad Lui is a good one here and is actually shy. He saw the overall problem after going through what she grew up to be to and will have a hard time convincing her she isn't a sacrifice but a bride.
She has so many marble out of the bag that you can't call her a dumb fl... She literally grew up and taught She is not anymore more or less than a sacrifice. You can't blame her for not understanding things due to the lack of education and actually books for her to learn, much less how to feel correctly and process emotions.
Everyone is was too hot. I am attracted to both protagonist that it isn’t even funny. Poor Abel though, stuck with trying to seduce a woman who has never even been with a man, much less knows how social life works. Of course, you will fail tremendously. Oscar is able to move her without even trying. This poor guy has to literally get good or better looks.
But damn, I feel sexually frustrated seeing both of them and wanting them to do the devil's tango.
I don’t like George one bit. I truly don't. His expression and his story are too convenient but as soon as the Duke mentioned his background with women, George faltered as if he forgot about that part. The whole Empire knows of his behavior as a playboy and the Duke, taking this man with a grain of salt, will beat the hell out of him if he wants Danielle so badly. However, after being faltered, his expression didn't look rehearsed which tells me he might be either genuine after all or didn't think his plans through fully.
There is no way she could go and forget this. How could she? Yes, she was desperate to leave the game, but she also made memories, for better or worse. She finally got her father and second brother to a redeemable spot where they actually are worth giving a fuck about, Callisto is one of the best MLs I have ever seen who only thought about what the FL wanted through and through. He wants her as his person, but loves her too much to keep her bound in a world that was cruel to her. He understood her wants and dreams better than any other MLs from other stories did for their FLs. Penelope wouldn't give him up like that, no man in the real world would be worth it at that point.
Even I wouldn't be able to forget everything if I returned back. I'd be living in a nightmare constantly remembering that moment. I honestly would choose to stay. Callisto was always by her side, the one who was patient enough to follow her whims, believed her sayings of another world, and lowkey did not show possessiveness unlike MLs in manhwa. He let her be, but kept track of where she went in case it was too dangerous for her, then he would show up and protect her when she's in trouble. He's anything we could've ever want. I BELIEVE GIRLY WILL STAY, OR... she'll take him with her.
Um Sir- mind you, she is a patient, control thyself until she is better.
You can see just how he teases her, he enjoys this Irene slowly, and will show adamantly of his refusal towards liking Irene. He sees her in a different light, not yet too trusting but quietly observing her. He wouldn’t have honestly saved her if he didn't like her enough despite being her guard.
This has to be the fastest I have seen when an reincarnated soul entered a novel be like "to hell with the original story, I have so much empathy for this character who I now see as a real life being with real feelings. I want to take care of them myself." I love her for it too. She spent time with Loic and she gradually harbors feelings for him slowly, may not realize it love yet but she knows she cares for him enough to relieve his pain.
Bridget, sweetheart, that dress for the party makes you look like a cupcake and not in a good way. Did you dress yourself? Because even your magic tool doesn't match your dress, it looks out of place. The yellow is so muted, it makes the pink look awful and the whole dress looks cartoony.
Oh. Oh, you called that nice? Okay, she looks like she got herself dressed in the dark. She picked out a dress that looked like a kid with special needs would pick if they didn't know their colors very well. She looks like a person who also doesn't know color theory and just threw on whatever worked. It's giving boring childhood birthday cupcake with hideous sprinkles.









I had three suspects - Lance, The Uncle and the Emperor. I am now leaning towards the Emperor because of his heavy disdain for Richard. He can't go after his father due to being dead, to which I believe he murdered the previous Duke when he tried to kill off the Carté family but Richard survived. The only way to torment him is by killing any wife that marries into the family regardless if they were close or not. If the Emperor is the one behind all this, then he is a coward. Punishing a man, for a long time before adulthood, for being born and killing his cousin for the mental distress she was going through.
