She’s as frail as fried glass noodles but she has not only stabilized his territory, but made improvements, all while caring for his comatose ass for years. Then he wakes up and starts treating her like she’s too weak to do anything and now he’s isolating her even further away? I get so many mixed signals from him that I can’t tell if he should scratch his watch or wind his butt at this point…
And the emperor’s expression looked like he has just seen his first Camero up close and the Pinto he drove up in just dropped its clutch. That mistress could be problematic for everyone…?
… it’s irritating and disingenuous to have the MC constantly blushing and playing the virgin at full tilt. It’s not cute and it’s boring. The ML is far more engaging and sympathetic as a character than the supposedly modern transmigrator who should know the mechanics of the horizontal lambada and should be less pre-teen and more mature about it? Is the target demographic of this story supposed to be the tween set? All the eeking is just sooooooo lame and I’m only 11 chapters in…
... still, if I were Michel, I might be a bit pissed at the reveal because it's such a trap. He was going to feel like sh*t either way - love 'im and leave 'im for the "betrothed" or fall in love and beg to elope, abandoning the "betrothed." $2 says that Michel is going to face vilification and scorn either way. Well, it should be interesting from here out, but I would still sulk in a dark room, burrowed into a high, wing-back chair in front of a roaring fire, all Poe-like for at least a month to demonstrate my displeasure at being played.
I wholeheartedly agree Katsura-he’s struggling with being ejected from his homeland, contracted into a marriage agreement that wasn’t what he was prepared for, introduced to a relationship dynamic he didn’t pursue, essentially groomed by a proxy to ensure he wouldn’t kick up a fuss and STILL acted honorably until the inevitable emotional turmoil engendered by physical and psychological manipulation was complete and even then he was willing to take the blame for breaking the betrothal to follow his heart. Still, I have eyes and Ain/Ian (still laughing at how freaking obvious that was from the jump) is beautiful, so I’m just popping up some corn for the next train wreck episode.










Seriously, zero effs given for any thumbs down or dissension. The flood of stories that are being written about women who stay with abusive relationships and families is becoming biblical. Can we not get the five and olive branch that strong women leads are taking over instead of piling trash in trash for 100+ chapters only wrap it up in 5 redemption arcs and end the story? It’s not just manhwa, it’s film and novels as well. For the love of mud, the white moonlight crap is that common overseas? Women don’t actually still tolerate this do they?
Meh-if I happen across this title after it’s developed and the author has not given the MC a good storyline, I curse them with an eternally hot pillow and blue screen of doom on their computer infected with zero day malware.
