Cute story where it is the ML who is clearly obsessed with FL and does whatever possible to have her stay by his side. They’re kid, Illian, is quite adorable.. He pretends to stutter and act simple minded infront of his mum to gain her attention and affection when in actual fact he is a genius. The antics of father and son in trying to ‘fight’ for attention of FL is quite funny.

I don't know why there are no reviews when this is a gem! I love how there is some kind of plausible explanation why both are strongly attracted to each other even when they only knew each other for a day. I also love Illian so much!! A genius pretending to be an idiot because he wants to be spoiled by his mother! *The only downside was ML manipulating FL to staying (he still gives her a chance to choose, though her choice is already determined based on the choices)... more>> but it is quite acceptable if you read the story.

If you are looking for a family plot (w lil smut) and some fluff, this is 10/10 <<less

This series is a tricky one for me. Whilst I do like the setup, general plot, characterization and world-building, the smut seems out of place. The s*x scenes feel like whiplash to me as a reader, letting down what is a really good translation from BiB. Smut is not a bad thing. However, the smut should at least add to the story rather than distract is a character-driven tale. That being said, it is still a better story than some of the stories I have come across recently which are... more>> like somebody threw lawn darts over a bunch of premises and then forgot to tie them all together in any regard after the pieces of paper got wet with dew. <<less

If you're looking for the child first then romance later on, this is for you!! I really love how the story is going so far!! The battle between the ML and Illian (ML and Fl's child) is so entertaining to watch. I also like how both of them have a sad past and rely on each other for comfort. I salute translator-nim for the good job in translating and for the constant update! Thank you so much for this and hoping to see more of FL and Ml's relationship :D

Heya, Proofreader Ame here! I thought I had written a review for this, but clearly not till now ^^;

One of the most completed and well-rounded stories I've read/worked on: the world building is solid and the major characters have clear motivations, goals, and relevant backstory. The villains are cheap, but not in-your-face to the point that it distracts from the story.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Truthfully, I don’t connect well with both Rosena and Yerhan, I even find them kinda wooden at times, but their love/lovestory... more>> is sweet and I love how understanding and communicative they try to be!! Little Illian being a devilish angel (or should it be angelic devil?) certainly boosted the overall tone of the novel! (〃▽〃)

The side stories were amazing, I think it fulfilled everything I could ever want in side stories. The only way it could've been better is if there's those "what if..." kind of extras, but that's just me being greedy and asking for a mile when the author has already given more than an inch.

If only the author will hear me pleas about a sequel with Illian as the main character...

Spoiler

or his sister as the main character

5 stars! I wonder whether those who gave this novel 1 or 2 stars are ghost? Seriously how?

The great things

1. Amazing translations! High quality translation. Each chapters are long, so you feel really satisfied reading them. And the formatting made the reading more enjoyable. They work fast too. Really grateful for your hardwork!
2. Interesting and engaging plotline. We found out about why the attraction between them are so extreme, why Yerhan changed into a different person when he fights, who Rosena truly is etc.
3. The characters. I love Yerhan man. His steadfastness towards her is commendable. Loyal af, and everything he did, he put Rosena first. Rosena was amazing on the first half, she was strong and intelligent. But one the second half, she became a bit wishy-washy and keep on dragging with he loves me, he loves me not. And Illian the cutie, I love his and Yerhan petty fight for Rosena affection lol.
4. The smut!! There are not many smuts in this, maybe 4 or 5? But that's enough imo. If not this novel would be just erotica.

A very satisfying read. Recommended

3, 5 stars
Again a perfectly balanced relationship between leads but with the cheap villains on the side... I'm so tired reading the same petty fake-family and evil imperials BUT! I'll be not cutting points from these. I'm here to read cliches anyway. It's contradictious yes... Well at least I warned you.
Even though the story dragged, miscommunication took place of the plot and the main leads got stuck to their empty stubbornness for creating more drama... I WAS VERY ENTERTAINED. Especially the father-son duo had the perfect aspect to love this novel.
I was engaged with the story. Also glad that I waited for the translation to be over because I'd want my hand intact without punching any concrete wall after all the pure fury I had.
ANYWAY, the ending is nicely balanced, it's good, don't mind my nitpicking.
Bluebells in Bloom translators deserves big thank you! MUUAH ♥

This story is cute and fresh - the smut is sparse, but definitely different than in most of the novels. There are no ML mansplaining that FL want to have s*x with them - it’s consensual and cautious. If you want wild scenes of lovemaking - look somewhere else. ML adores FL and fights for her, their child is cute and the translation is one of the best I’ve seen in a while. Translating Team is working fast and their chapters are long enough to keep you satiated till the... more>> next release (which will come very fast!). And they’re doing an amazing job. There may be a few mistakes, but overall they are so rare that you can easily ignore them and enjoy a really supreme quality job :) <<less

This feels like reading old fantasy romance novels.

The FL (Rosena) is the typical heroine in Disney or Wattpad stories. She's kind, caring & got animal charmer power... but she also tend to be indecisive and run away from problems instead of proper communication. I think the whole novel was dragged bc of her being emotionally confused and other indecisions.

For ML (Yerhan), I actually find him as green flag tho. He was so patient to FL despite being emotionally hurt with FL's doubts. He and his mini Yandere got cute interactions... more>> that actually carried the whole plot.

For supporting characters, they were 2D and there's too many canon-fodders being sacrificed. <<less

If I had to say something it would be that I don't like the FL much.

She doesn't really think. Her thought process is shallow as a puddle. Most of her actions are protected by the plot, but you can't see a drop of forethought.

Maybe because of the perspective it is written in. But her actions are brainless or mostly justified by one or two unreasonable reasons and all the other ways she could accomplish things that are easier or more logical or brings some benefits, are completely ignored as if... more>> they don't exist and it's a matter of fact that she does things the s*upid way.

Also, someone commented how in the first half she was smart. Yeah. I fear the second half.

Maybe I'll retry it later. But mostly.... it's not my cup of tea. I like my FL strong and/or smart and/or determinate. <<less

Cliche plot as it is, but I think its a good novel. Love how it was well written and well translated. Not much chapter only 100ish till completed but I love how each chapter is long. There's smut in a small amount of chapter and I love how they have the disclaimer in every chapter with smut parts lol.

I love the cute interactions of the family members, mom dad and son. I love how it didn't take a long time for them to realize that they're in love and be... more>> stuck in misunderstandings..

Anyway, thank you so much for the author and the translation team for this novel, I enjoyed it <3 <<less

LOVELY AND LIGHT. Is this epic or groundbreaking? No. But it was a fun read. The length of this was just right. And while there was palace intrigue, it didn't overshadow the entire novel. If I had to be specific about why I liked it, I'd say three things: characterization [not deep but delightful], anti-imperialism thread [not plot essential, but a fun twist] and translation [smooth sentences and witty comments]. I gave more deets below.

1 - Characterization: There's a wonderful tension between appearance [or reputation] and reality with the... more>> three main characters.

• The ML is rumored to be ugly, wicked and cowardly while in reality he is a handsome, brave yandere who battles monsters in the crown prince's name.
• The FL has a firm sense of what is right, she is rumored to be soft and malleable in society. But instead she is adept, clever and vicious as necessary... except for with her family members who shamelessly feign weakness and s*upidity in order to gain her attention. She remains clueless as they vie for priority.
• The son [is he the 2ML?] is believed to be less intelligent because he feigns a stutter and a lisp. He still savors being read fairytales by his mother until well into his pre-teens. But in reality he is both crazy smart and super manipulative [truly a mini-me of his father]. When he is given a bullying, classist tutor, the man is subdued within 48 hours and only follows his bidding.

2) Anti-imperialism sub-theme: Even the perception of the battles between humans and encroaching monsters is overturned. In moves that strangely echo what happened with US first peoples, their land was taken and they were essentially reduced significantly in numbers before being sent to a land of their own as compensation for having all their land taken.

3) Translation: Finally, Bluebells in Bloom translation was excellent. I didn't stumble over grammatical errors all the time so I could enjoy the reading as much as the content. I was surprised when the translator mentioned that this author didn't have any novels picked up as manhwas because this could be a great graphic novel. <<less

This novel was frustrating enough until I wanted to throw my phone away several times. The angsts was way too dragging. I mean, when I thought that the happy ending was finally here, the author added another unnecessary misery one after the other just to prolong the angst. Thankfully, the ending was sweet enough and the author gave plenty of side stories to soothe my wounded heart. And also, good job for the translator for the amazing translation as always.

So I guess divorce didn't really happen in the end? Misleading title. I'm one who's a fan of women getting divorced and standing strong on their own without a man. After all, not all stories need romance. Well, the novel is good, but sorry this ain't my cup of tea. Good translation though.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Also confused why this one isn't rated higher. I unapologetically loved this one. The translation was excellent as always (Bluebells in Bloom is one of my FAVORITE translation teams because not only is the TL always really good the comments are HILARIOUS. It always takes me longer to read their stuff because I get caught up in the conversations and it's always a blast.

This one was REALLY cute. I have to admit the Yandere Dad and Mini Yandere battle was probably the funniest part for me. Illian, psychologically,... more>> is the spitting image of Yerhan, and is CONVINCED he has nothing to do with his father. Rosenia is a strong heroine internally and psychologically tough, and that's a more unusual combination. She works HARD to make a place for herself and I truly respect that. Her family and Yerhan's are both absolute tr*sh but I love how they both recognize that they're broken people and try to make themselves whole. They end up being an excellent couple and the whole story is very wholesome. As someone else mentioned, if you want a kid first then true love story, this is definitely for you! <<less

Hands down, this is one of the best novels I've read. The story flows nicely with good characters and attraction and love that survived conflicts and test of time. I am looking forward to the side stories.

Fun read! Another well translated work and great characters. Not gonna lie— ch75 made me cry. 10/10

I was looking for romance novels, and without any complicated understanding, I'm glad I found this novel.

The interaction between ML and their son looks funny.

In my opinion, the FL is quite dense but not annoying.

Major thanks to the translator for the daily update.

It's cliche, and because of the miscommunication cliche, it's frustrating in the middle. But it's entertaining. And that is all I wanted and expected from this novel.

The bonus is that there is a surprisingly complex and well thought out backstory to explain the "unexplainable bond/draw" ML and FL has towards each other. And their son being more than just a cute baby. And the many side stories that has no angst or frustration. There is even a part that focuses on the son at school!

The translation is great! The writing style is good. The plot is also fine and tolerable, i've seen worse. Gave it 5 star because of the ML 🫠 really adorable (I'm a simple person). Strong female lead! Also, the whole family relationship is just funny. Classic ML who fell hard to fl. Full of fluff 🫶 a good read when you're bored.
