on what planet is this a "strong female lead". i was going through the tag because i wanted actually strong female leads. what a waste of time. she takes every bit of meanness given to her and doesn't stand up to literally anything. not even harassment from people shes on equal footing with. she's not even doing it to be smart and gather evidence. she's just studid and weak. is something going to change soon?
like he's legit the worst part of this story. i can't think of a single scenario so far that could be interpreted as anything else than him being an asshole. this is beyond being dense, or tsundere, or embarrassed. like he's legit terrible to her. lying about memories she wouldn't have, lying about them liking each other, saying literally the most hurtful shit about her to people around him IN PUBLIC, WHERE SHE COULD VERY WELL COME ACROSS THEM AND HEAR. i know this is going to end with them getting together but he better get his ass whooped by fl or cousin to make up for all this shit. imagine saying in public about someone you love that you aren't interested in her. how is ANYONE supposed to take that other than you not liking her. agreeing that she's a bother?? who wouldn't be hurt by that?? fuck this male lead he sucks and i dont want him to be redeemed (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
like every person at that party should have been punched except the big bro. like, you don't like lion clan because they just use you for sex, so instead you'll force towa to marry a horse clan dude... so he can be used exclusively for sex??
how does that make sense? literally raising him to be mistress, not even a real mate for someone, and the LIONS are the bad guys????
but really this just felt gross from start to finish. there was never a point where i think they really liked each other, he just happened to pick her for sex (in reality, rape, but sure let's go along with pretending it's sex) and she just went a long with it? no love involved? no caring about her actual goals (like seriously he called them "excuses"????)? massive ick. really the "excuses" thing is so gross and at no point was this a fun smut thing it was just awkward and gross and uncomfortable to read.
what does this dumb bitch not get that lucia does not want a child!!?!! she's being so selfish because SHE thinks lucia is pitiful for not being able to get pregnant. fuck her and phillip they're both so gross
There were so many emotions I was going through reading that part I understood both sides of that since he knew he couldn’t get her pregnant but wouldn’t say anything and she took offense to it since it was like he’s saying she would cheat. There were so many misunderstandings because he wouldn’t tell her his history
Reading the novel you really see their growth. It’s the perfect pace since it does take them a while to finally admit their feelings but it’s not too slow of a burn and you really see them grow together as a couple
I understand needing to set the scene but is anything going to happen?
