If you’re thinking of reading this story, I’d recommend waiting until it finishes completely. The story itself had potential in the first, maybe, 20 chapters, but the main leads are full of misunderstandings throughout the current 65 chapters.
In more depth, the story is frustrating with zero to little communication between the two main characters. That’s mainly the big issue I fear this story has. Both of them are hiding more than they can cover, & personally—compared to the other reviews—I do feel like it’s mainly the ml who complains about keeping secrets when he’s also hiding things; not to mention the fact he kept looking through her personal mail, her interactions, her business in general.. I might remember incorrectly but I think he lacked trust in her. For her best interest? I beg to differ.
He’s one of the few main leads who does try to communicate—I’ll give him that—but I consider him a hypocrite from the fact that he remembers his past life, how he acted, how he was—he remembers and regrets, yet I honestly see no difference from this supposedly new ml (besides him being more involved in his fam/work—romantically wise). He’s showing signs of obsession from the latest update—I dig obsessed male leads but not the ones full of hypocrisy.
Though the male lead keeps pressing for the communication , the lack of trust between the two, the unveiling of the secrets—the female lead keeps it from getting any better by completely avoiding the misunderstandings. Considerably, it’s a decent attribute when the male leads are barley getting to know each other and are in the midst of developing an actual relationship—like As the Heart Leads—however, the story was fast paced in revealing those feelings. Unfortunately, she’s a weak character when it comes to romance. This will certainly make it difficult for decent progress in their relationship.
It’s a bunch of back-and-forth, which is why I’d recommend reading this story when it’s completed.
Story is *alright* so far. If you’re planning on reading this story, I’d recommend letting it marinate until it’s finish because it is an irritating pace:
The plot twist was nice, but the whole situation with the baron being kind to her so she would agree to sacrifice herself was so upsetting… even the knight being so rude and aggressive all the time was disgusting; especially when she had just come from a whole family who treated her with that attitude. It’s not only the side characters who are the problem, I fear the fl is a weak mc in general.
Not just power-wise, etc. but her demeanor in general. I know at the end of the day she’s a female lead with a low status, but it would be nice if she had a little bit more control/confidence in the situations that she’s placed in. It’s been a while since I’ve read a story where the fl cries x amount of times—not a bad thing (fyi)—it just gets repetitive & a bit corny. The ml seems to dig it tho.
I can’t complain abt the ml, maybe it’s bias, but he’s actually been a decent character. There’s been development, but it still feels like the relationship between the two is more platonic than romantic; this is why I’d recommend marinating. I’m assuming it’s a slow burn, which isn’t a horrible thing, but when you mix it with an infuriating plot and zero honey—it gets boring.
Confused, what’s he talking about setback? I think I missed it haha did he figure out her plan for revenge already?
It's cuz his niece (the girl in the hotspring together with mc) has misunderstood the situation. She didn't know mc was dating her uncle, cuz mc told her her revenge plans of dating the apparent rich uncle of her ex's fiancé (now wife) so that he'd have to call her his aunt. (she told it during the concert they went to together)
So niece thought mc was wooing some other guy that wasn't her uncle (the male lead). And she's trying to help her uncle who she believes is interested in mc, get together with her.
Hence when mc seemed down when talking about the guy she's wooing (in reality it's cuz she's shocked from learning that the male lead is in fact not her ex's gf's uncle (it was the driver that was lol)) so the niece thinking "this is my uncle's time to shine!" sent him a message saying she had a setback with her partner. Not knowing mc's partner was the very uncle she's texting this to.
Even though I expected Hyundos ex in this chapter, I can never calm myself down I literally feel like digging my nails into her skin then dragging them down just so she can feel some real pain and not some manipulative behavior. I’ll be the person to discipline her cus obviously her parents never did, I’ll drag her across the floor with that fake ass wig she’s wearing for acting like a cat in heat









I can’t lmfao. I expected the makeout sesh to be interrupted but not by the freaking villain outside the window staring at them why are we not talking abt this . He literally could’ve seen them getting down and dirty freaky ahh prince
