I don’t know if it’s the translation, the pacing or if parts are missing but the plot is really hard to follow. She wakes up and says ”I’m Cecilia” as if that’s enough context, like Cecilia who? following the story I guess she became the child of her ex and quite some time has passed since her stepbrother has grown up but honestly it’s all a bit messy.
I had serious deja-vu reading this, but realized I had read the webtoon version of the same story -same author and everything.

I love their dynamic as a couple and how sweet they are together, it’s the whole feel-good reason for reading this!
I’m so sad there were not more room for their actual relationship in the story, the ex’s evil plots took up way too much space. There was so much waiting and victimising.
The delulu mf’s are too much, the plot is so drawn-out and they could have gotten the same consequences way earlier with alot less strain on the leads. Would have liked that alot











I really appreciated the lore in this chapter. The story of Zhar and Mellia feels like a mix of two greek myths.
Orpheus and Eurydice in which the husband travels to the underworld to bring back his wife. The candle remindes me of Eros and Psyke where the wife lights an oillamp to gaze upon her lovers face in the darkness but accidentally wakes him by spilling a hot drop of oil. Both of the myths however are tragedies.
