The story basically went like this

  • the MC was an abandoned princess who was used as bait to let the other royal family member escape from enemy army.
  • Right when the ML swing his sword at MC, a magic activated. ML falls in love with MC and made her his duchess.
  • The plot started when the magic on ML started to fade. Turns out, all this time the ML always lose control over his body when the MC was near, but still have his own thoughts. So, our dear ML want to kill MC to break free from the curse. He ended up refrained doing so.
  • The magic will be triggered every time MC and ML are close enough, so we get a ML that's cold as ice on one second and a love struck husband the next second. The second hand embarrassment when the cold ML remember his action when he was under curse was real lol.
I like how their relationship gradually changes. It wasn't one of those story where they falls in love from first sight.

Why are you doing this duke?!

*flips table* Why is he doing this!? B*tch! You’re taking advantage of whatever mind control magic you managed to activate, to leech off his status as a duke, to blacken his reputation and image as the bad ass that he had been, messing with his head, much less the extremely dubious consent content of your bed time together!

What right does this character have to do all of these things huh? If all she wanted, (like the first chapter hinted at) was to survive and... more>> live a happy and fulfilling life, then after the duke spared her from his blade, she should have collected her things and made a run for it!

But did she do these thing? Much less make even a token attempt to apologize and leave to seek her own fortune? No. This opportunistic, self centered, amoral, rapist, of a woman was too comfortable, too cowardly to do any of these things.

Instead of coming clean, instead of leaving like a character with integrity and self worth would have, this bastard daughter does just like a cannon fodder thot would, and directly decides to stay, and does her damn best to make sure her mind warping magic *stuck* so she can continue living in the lap of luxury with a powerful man lapping at her heels like the brain dead, love sick, puppet of a man she prefers.

She prefers that over sincere emotions cultivated with honesty and trust between two equal individuals. I’m sure, because she was raised as a bastard, unwanted daughter who didn’t grow up with a healthy relationship to strive after for herself, but still, that doesn’t give this character the right to bemoan about how cruel the duke is treating her.

what a green tea wretch.

It won’t happen, but I really hope the Duke escapes from her clutches and cuts her head off for violating him and making a fool out of him. <<less

It's a nice premise but is unfortunately ruined by the translation quality.

The leads are believable.

Female Lead: She's told to face death with a smile but while doing so, deep down she's still very afraid. She loves the ML because he's the first person to show so much kindness and love to her, but she knows he's only doing so because of the "wish", nevertheless she just can't help herself.

Male Lead: After having regained his clarity, he's very rightfully angry, thinking that she was the one who did this to him,... more>> however before he can hurt her he turns back to his "love love" self. This keeps happening back and forth and his response to her gets warmer as they get to know each other in his regular self.

Their romance is sweet:

Spoiler

It starts off hostile, the ML wants to hurt the FL but the FL doesn't want to die, not just because death in itself is scary, but also because it is done so by the person sharing the body of the man she loves, she would rather be killed by anyone else but him. Then they slowly warm up, the ML learns and accepts that it's probably not her who put this "curse/wish" on him and he finds it harder and harder to raise his hands and voice against her the more they interact. After awhile, he even finds himself falling for her but is very awkward in his show of love and even feels jealous of himself. He wonders if she truly loves him because of how much she seemingly loves his "alter ego" who acts unlike him.

[collapse]

I recommend for anyone who likes this story to skip the novel (I apologize to the translator) and go ahead and read the manga. The manga doesn't have the issues that the translated novel does and is even currently ahead of its novel counterpart (which is usually why I read LN). It also has pictures! <<less

It's honestly disgusting that people are justifying her behaviour and actually loving their so-called "Romance"

First of all, NO. This isn't sweet.

It looks so forced to me. The male lead falling in love to her? Better tell me that the oh-so-great male lead has Stockholm syndrome that's why he fell for his abuser..

And YES. She abused him.

... more>>
Spoiler

If it's not whitewashed by the synopsis and actually tells you the "Summary" then it would outright tell you that;

"HEY! The female lead is an entitled bit*h that "accidentally" placed magic on the male lead to make him like her to avoid him from killing her.

When the magic on him starts to fade and he shows how disgusted he is by what she did, she's gonna cry like he was truly her lover. Not only that, she also tries to recreate the same magic to start controlling him so that he'd once again, like her.

(And she'd get mad and compare him to the "magic controlled" him when he once again starts to show dislike for her. Again, like an entitled b*tch)

[collapse]

Y'all..😬 This isn't cancelled in Korea yet? I'm shocked it isn't. <<less

This novel gives me a good laugh xD

The plot is quite unique because the ML has dual personality cause by magic. Meanwhile you have to bear with some of Mc's foolish actions. For those who like clever MC, I dont recommend this. But those who like light romance comedy, then I totally recommend this. This novel has manhwa too and the drawings are nice. Read the novel and the manhwa for double fluffs and laughs!

Masterpiece!

First to all readers and commentators give the novel chance and don't drop novel too fast. Im reading manhwa and mtled novel and I can tell you all, you made big mistake who ... more>>
Spoiler

made wish

[collapse]

It was (warning big spoiler - don' read)
Spoiler

him who made spell/wish. He was kidnapped and sold to circus as child. In circus he met Erin and her mother who saved him. Later with help Erin mother, he made wish to be loved.

[collapse]

And here comes my Poor Erin, everyone made fast verdict and call her B1tch here, but
Spoiler

the one and only victim was her here. Due to spell, she became mediun of that and was doomed to love him. She has to love him by all the cost. For example spell made her think to recreate of supposedly
"fading" magic to be loved by him. Every her action was...

[collapse]

So tell me who was victim here? Who forced who...

Unfortunately...
Spoiler

when his wish was completed, he has to paid price for that. Everyone close to him died. Also Erin who tried to save him. In the end he was killed by prince. And that's end for his 1st life

[collapse]

After...
Spoiler

that. The spell of Erin mother (another one - this one was to save Erin. Her mother had prophetic vision of incomming tragic future of her child. So with all the cost, tried to change that with new spell. The price was the disappearance of her existence, including memory) actived and reversed time to the moment when MC made wish to be loved.

[collapse]

And here is start of his
Spoiler

2nd life. When he returned to being a child. They were escaping from chase of enemy (easape from circus). But like in 1st life, enemy catch them and he was shoot by arrow (not by blade like in 1st life - scar near eyebrow). Due to bleed, he lost consciousness, but he was saved by his father's aide, who took him back to duke mansion.

Erin mother due to reverse time spell, lost her witch powers and can't make new ones. But again like last time she had prophetic vision of incomming tragic future of her child. So in this life, she hide with Erin. One plus is in this life Erin had happy childhood.

But price is MC can't find her

The plot and comic sense of this novel is unique!

I started reading the manhwa and search the novel on the Search for more of the duke.

The MC that it is not a dumb girl, but a Strong woman.... She is one of my favorites heroines so far

I enjoyed reading the manhwa for sure. I don't understand the harsh comments. If her mother didn't perform that spell, she would've died along with her other relatives. Was she just supposed to accept death without a fight?
