This become one of my top fav novel of all times.

Some people might think its very similar to Solche's CBYB or Bastian as there's quite a few similar settings. But the story and characters definitely has their own uniqueness.

The writing is just captivating, characters emotions beautiful described, some might find the pace too slow but I really like its progressed, as this is how a successful character comes alive in writing, every little scene add up to the character building slowly.

FL is beautiful, young, pure, seems obedient from outside but... more>> she has a strong personality doesn't like to depend on others. She's really kind and gentle and doesn't want to trouble others although she planned to escape from her marriage.

While ML is the stereotype arrogant noble man, strong pride, selfish, doesn't know about love. But his actions are so affectionate, he is exquisite, the smuts are delicious. Ridi has another much more sexy version of the cover art, do check them out.

There's angst, drama, runaway and redemption. Well written and closure. So its a master piece to me. <<less

This novel is absolutely lovely! I really enjoy how well the characters are crafted. The story feels refreshingly unique compared to what I’ve read before. The female lead, a fallen noblewoman, is beautiful, gentle, and a bit naive, while the male lead is an arrogant yet intriguing naval officer (a captain). Both of them dislike the idea of marriage for their own reasons, leading them to form a mutually beneficial pact. Although the agreement initially favors the female lead, their relationship gradually deepens as the story progresses. I love the... more>> pacing—it’s a wonderful slow-burn romance. I’m eagerly looking forward to more chapters and seeing how their story unfolds. Thank you so much for the translation!Happy Reading :) <<less
