Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.The foundation of South Korea’s high society is money, power, and marriage. His marriage was considered a mere ‘contract’ between the fathers.
So it didn’t matter who the bride was going to be. Pretty or ugly, addicted to shopping or depressed, promiscuous or virtuous. The important thing was what the bride would bring to the table.
However, she was different.
He recalled Yuan, who had been sitting so gracefully in front of the magnolia tree. Her white, slender face, pure smile, and her brown eyes looking at him.
Crack. His chest hurt. Damn it, it hurt so much that he began to curse.
***
Their bodies perfectly became one. Their entangled bodies, legs interlocked, embracing each other. They moved as one as if they were searching for salvation.
“If you begin seeing another man, I’ll kill you.”
He sharply bit the nape of her neck.
“I’m warning you now, but I’ll really kill you. Don’t even look at them. Don’t talk to them. Don’t even acknowledge their presence.”
Yuan let out a soft moan and couldn’t respond.
In the night, a spring night where the heavy darkness dripped down like paint, the room was brimming with passion.

But frankly after the way she easily submitted to JoonHun after he r*ped her she became yet another typical damsel-in-distress with Stockholm Syndrome character.
I binge-read it in one sitting! Yes, the basic plotline was nothing new and fresh (contract marriage) but the story the author built on it was quite amusing. The characters had well-written backgrounds, and their backstories were emotional, suspenseful and intriguing, which further justified their actions and emotions. The best part? The characters' dialogues/behaviors weren't stiff. The plot-flow was great-- Even though the novel was short, it was satisfying because the author never rushed anything. And Oh My God the smut. The smut scenes were actually sensual
smut scenes usually make me laugh when they make no senseand not terribly written; for example, in some books you're actually confused about the flow of their actions like "wait-- wasn't she doing this?? When did he do that to her??" And the characters (specifically, the women) are no shallow goody two-shoes. They know when to stand up for themselves. And their retorts actually hit the spot. They convey exactly what I, as a reader, felt and would've screamed at the people in the scene if I were to be in the character's stead. And that feeling is so, so satisfying. I would give it 4.5, honestly, (but I don't know how to yet), the -0.5 being for the (probably spoiler)author making it seem like the MC and FMC only fell in love because of each others' appearances and bed skills and not for what they actually are. And in one point in the story, she told him her entire sob story, she explained why she did what she did, and all he cared was about whether or not she loves another man?!
It was an emotional rollercoaster. At the beginning I thought it was really about business secrets being stolen. Later on, I felt what the brother planned - making it all known - was right. At the end I totally understood that such one sided thinking can destroy lives. Excitement, anger, sadness and regret followed by a sigh of relief.
