Duke better not think a cold contract marriage should bloom with a wife who was definitely murdered and should be in investigation mode. It was your wife's best friend based ona wife's request, kinda aquientence not random lady with the need of status or money. She was never interested, and his attempts to get to know her is so subpar cause it was a 7 year contract. Also why did no one have the dying mom explain the marriage situation, they talk about the reasons why at her grave?
"Mommy wants to ensure you two stay the only successors and be safe, mommy best friend who doesn't love your daddy will be here. It may seem werid but know we all thought about it and want to best for you all. I have no doubt her love will seem as warm as mine and it is an embrace I wish for you both."
The prince is giving young vibes with the art style. It keeps mentioning how oh 7 years ago he left, but is he in the kids 18-20 range or the parents range of probably 36-40(assuming an age of a love marriage being 18). It would make sense that a 20 year old can run away even if he has magic rather than a 14 year old. Brother also just finally broke into the friend zone before leaving.
Micheal is werid, he loves a woman so much he's willing to erase all of her memories of his very own sister. A sister he mentions how he loves, but is shown to say "She's dead" as a justification to ERASE HER from her best friend's memories. For love that blossomed cause his sister made a good friend, and he in those 7 years doesn't seem to put an effort to know his nephews after the contract marriage (he knows is a contract). In his magic abilities so far he mentions how he doesn't use it, but for erasing memories he's up for it. How about your sister who's murdered?? Brother as a count is lower standing to go against the duke, however to not even show his face in the entire surveillance. Brother was set up to be a pining first love, with highest success rate of love. Fumble galore so far, and seems to be goddamm hypocritical about efforts to love(romantic or familial).
i think the issue this manhwa struggles with is the “no woman is more important than the mc” cliche where the mc always HAS to be the center of attention. this is not me hating on the mc but more so with the author’s choices. wdym diana had a loving husband and a brother but just because she’s dead now, all the attention is directed to the mc? so now the loving husband is fixated on his wife’s best friend? and the brother cares more about the mc than his dead sister who was most likely murdered? why can’t authors ever understand that having another female character does not mean the main female lead is less desirable? if they wanted to give the mc a variety of love interests, they could’ve made other characters but they deliberately chose the two men who were the closest to diana. like why does the mc care more about diana than diana’s own HUSBAND and BROTHER ?
YES, the set up is all about revolving around the murder investigation of her best friend. It's been 7 years yet there's no new information about it, ands it's not like there's huge childcare as one ran away and one doesn't interact. She is shown to be in isolation and running the house, and there were late night meeting to review documents. However nothing about murder other than the phrase they haven't found the culprit as she left the duke house.
well said & its the same story in most of manhwas i read
Saying that the butter should have forced him to eat, as if he wasn't just thinking about how mc was being hoisted like luggage cause his injury wasn't properly cared for in his mansion.
Bro was literally gonna stab an eye in a public lobby of an employee at a company he really doesn't seem to have power in. how in the world was he raised that he thinks he can do that at all.
ml hit on a coworker he's the boss of. the mc is drunk, ml knows that and still sleeps with him. they had been having sex for 3 days, so probably though mc knew him and accepted cause alcohol doesn't last that long. then believe mc remembered their time together yet still act as if he didn't. still should beg for forgiveness cause he slept with someone drunk
so the raws only go to 5 chapters before ending
This is based ona real life korean folk talk of similar thing of 100 days in a cave eating garlic cause god said so.

They in some type of situation to become human for god. God dude is some werid ass who come in to the cave and gets fucked by bear and knows the tiger is awake but doesn't care. They were both chosen by that god to become human or in this case his surrogates, but honestly there's a higher god who sent him away to have children. The two beasts are suppose to compete for the title of the spouse. Tiger was used by village for sexual relief and orphan, Bear has 5 younger siblings his mom pushed him away to be responsible for. If they both lasted 100 days they become human husband and wife and have children. The two kinda fall in love as both experience a loneliness and being used by others, the tiger and bear doesn't fuck until the end. the tiger leaves the cave thinking hes pregnant and that is how it ends. the bear stays in and if you know the og story becomes a woman, sad to have no husband god takes he as his wife to have children.
twink x twink could have happened in a story, but not with this plot. that orange twinkle deliberately pulled the mc at an Olympic game and caused him to fall into others. If the author was meaner, the literal knives that skates are could have cut someone or there would have been injuries to bone. As the mc says in cpt 18 the dude didn't even at least apologize for those actions.
the top mentions how it's "his company" that opened up applications. EITHER HES ALREADY WORKING AS AN INCUBUS OR HE IS THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY. It's gotta be the first one cause why wouldn't the mc just nepo his way up, so the ML definitely fucked his way into a job of fucking. After getting a cushy job has been sabotaging the chances of someone he known for 20 years.
I think it’s a company for demons in general and he works there as some type of demon and not specifically as an incubus. Pretty sure incubus work involves being a high class prostitute and not fucking your way to the top. To fuck your way to the top you need to target the bosses, he says incubus cannot choose who’s to have sex with, so clientele come to them and they don’t choose it.
THE NOVEL HAD AN AMAZING ENDING WHERE THE BABY LOOKS LIKE OUR LITTLE HEADACHE AS IF TO SPITE THE GRANDPA AND THE ML WORRIES FOR HIS CHILDS FUTURE. AS THE BABY IS A PHENOMENON OF GENETICS AND MANY AROUND THE WORLD GET SUPRISED THE SUPER GENUIUS CREATED MPREG. WITH THE MC DURING LABOR HAD TO BE GIVE ANESTHESIA SOLEY SO THAT HE WOULDN'T BACKSEAT HIS OWN C SECTION. THE BABY THAT LOOKS LIKE MC WOULD HAVE BEEN SPOILED AS FAMILIES ON BOTH SIDES (EVEN ML DAD) GIVE IN TO SEE THE BABY.
I waited months for this ending, and for it to give an baby that looks like the ML is so ugg. I knew it was ending very soon, but wrapping it up with sex and suddenly baby when the novel it was following had a good concise ending that was fufilling and comedic. bro lost potential ╥﹏╥
Got a theory the dark hair girl is the one writing upon the behalf of the silver one. It used to be a thing to either translate to paper or completely write letters in another person's style.
