Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Fernan Caesar, the ruler of the North who came back from the war.
The man, who was perfect in everything, was the only good memory of Julia’s unhappy childhood.
When she was told that he was going to be her husband, Julia believed in the existence of God for the first time.
But…
“If there’s anything you want, feel free to do it. It doesn’t matter whether you remodel the castle, buy jewelry, or throw a party.”
“…….”
“But I don’t want to see you in the morning, so refrain from doing that.”
The gentleman of her memory was no more.
There was only a cold man standing there who did not have a trace of affection or warmth.
“Your heart is of no use to me.”
But loving him to the end was Julia’s biggest mistake.
****
Standing at the edge of the cliff, Julia slowly carved her husband’s once-worldly face into her eyes.
If not now, she would never be able to escape it forever. She would come to love him again.
She didn’t want to be bound to him any longer.
“Julia!”
Looking at her desperate husband, Julia threw herself down the cliff.

We dont know what misery MC went through in childhood. We just know she lived with her mother till 7, was brought to marquis house who abused her and his wife who mocked her. It is told over 46 chapters and we can just estimate this. It shouldn't have been so draggy because it wasnt detailed and just lines like she has been suffering, mocked.
This was a story which portrays how timings could affect relation and emotions. When FL loved the ml, he didnt care and after he began to have feelings for her, she was so disappointed as her only hope outright hated her. The misunderstanding, miscommunication and trust issue between the leads were understandable.
The fl
FL is an illegitimate child from a commoner (a big deal in this timeline) and was constantly mocked and was in misery. Her only light was the ML spending time with her when she was locked at 13 yrs. She clung to this memory and replayed it 1000 times and fall in love with him over the years.
She is quite naive and dumb. Just like ML she wasnt doing anything to understand him, what situation he was in. Even after knowing the reason he hated her was due to her father she didnt try to clarify it and constantly confess her love to ML and ML just thought she was acting.
The ML was warlord, nephew of emperor who wanted to crush his power so forced his marriage to his minions daughter. He hated her as he was reminded of her father's face. He couldn't trust her and blatantly ignored and mocked her.
FL was abused by her family but they maintain facade of loving and doting to outside world. She was married off so that she can have a child with ML and ML can retire. Both of them knew this as it was planned by emperor and father. But FL didnt mind being used as he loved him. ML constantly distanced and mocked her because he thought she was acting innocent and scheming with her father so he was planning on divorce. Meanwhile ML was in conflict with his emotion budding for his enemy:her. Being treated like this disheartened her and she finally was ready to divorce. After he came to know about FL and her situation, he didnt want to divorce her but didnt told FL the reason he didnt agree on divorce or beg for forgiveness.
As his reason were outright there. After he started realize his feelings he started mending amends.
But it was late as FL was so disappointed that she just wanted to leave.
Then comes escaping and the yanderish part. Along with disappearance of fl, the guilt and regrets of ML is shown.
Everything would have been solved if MC properly conveyed her standing and ML gave enough time to listen and analyze her situation. But no, one wouldnt voice it and keep on adding to misinterpretation and other wouldn't ask for forgiveness after doing a mess
And let me tell you something... it’s quite narrow; to the point that only the ML + FL are on this road, and one of THEM! Is trying to push the other innocent and naive one out, ALL THE WHILE, at the same time, trying to keep HER! close to him at all times... can you tell me? I’ll extend an olive branch here.
you ever play tug of war? Okay then. that whole, pulling and pushing friction movement that goes on, let’s focus on that well, that’s the ML mental stability.
yup, let that sink in for a while.
Almost drove me up the walls!
listen, I don’t care how handsome you are, and how long your legs may be to the point where you can leap the Great Wall of China. But! If you’re this mentally unstable and you try to play me around like some sort of toy entertainment? Then we’re probably going to have some issues, and I’ll potentially smack the sh*t out of you.
the ML is worst then an arrogant child who has never been disciplined in his whole life.
Everybody has a tough background, but you’re the one who makes the choice of being an a**hole.
people will try to console themselves by saying, “ahh~ the ML suffered, so that’s why he did what he did.”
again, everybody suffers, but it’s our choice if we choose to harm those around us. And this c*nt knew the FL was honest, naive and sincere. So the fact that he did ALL THAT, and the while, knowing THIS, made he seem worst to me.
it’s like being understanding to wife beaters, and hiding behind the excuse that they had a tough childhood.
You see where I’m trying to get at? come on people.
the novel already starts with su*cide right off the bat. To drive someone who’s supposed to have a docile persona, to the edge... of a cliff! You got to be the devils cousin or something!
anyways, I wouldn’t watch a movie with a bunch of dogs dying, just to shed bucket load of tears; to the point where I could even grow crops with them. But this novel drive me to be curious about what the outcome would be since the FL does already in the beginning. Was I disappointed? Very much.
FL is stubborn but I can understand. She's constantly humiliated by the only good person she have but then gives up and just wants to be left alone. Can related. She's a good cookie.
BUT YALL THE WAY SHE LITERALLY SAID "I want you to go hell" TO HER STEPMOTHER??? Queen shit. I S C R E A M E D
Him locking her up is really beaten path for the yandere league. Now, the part when she loses her memory and he change the whole staff so they can lie to her really freaked me out. Somehow the author doesn't make it seem as creepy as I just did and it took me some time to realize.
Mr. Priest, wtf? You are a priest don't be flirting you weirdo
This novel solely focuses on the relationship between the ML and fl, and that's what makes it even worse.
There's no plot, everything is centered around how the ML hates the FL whom he didn't want to marry but was forced to.
She loved him even before their marriage, and so she was ecstatic when they got married. Inexplicably she had to go through 5 years of emotional abuse, neglect and literal torment by his side. Still, it was impressive that she didn't lose her will that quickly. She wanted to work on their relationship, but he just blindly hated her.
Then came some misunderstanding like when
he found an aphrodisiac her father gave her to seduce him and bear a successor.
Then comes the next crucial point when the ML
finally decides to investigate some things after the FL had a literal handprint on her face in the castle. Turns out her father slapped her, turns out she is an illegitimate child, turns out she suffered abuse even before coming to marry him. Well done ML, finally deciding to investigate your forced marriage AFTER 5 YEARS.
From spoilers, it seems that
she runs away around chapter 35
Actual engagement I felt to the story would be ~3/5 //edit after reading the ending
It's a happy ending after so much drama and so many trials. The redemption arc was really long and bumpy, but wasn't really the best. One night, when the two were together, after Fernan took Julia captive once again, he said "I can't take it anymore" and the two proceeded to have s*x, with Julia in a literally dead state emotionally. That was really unpleasant to read and it was glossed over by something like "the night of the passion continued" or something along these lines and the act wasn't mentioned anymore. The people commenting under the chapter didn't seem to pay much attention to it, so maybe it's just me being sensitive to consent and all the other formalities/basic courtesy. So yeah, the ML wasn't really sincere, even if Julia in the end thought he was. Only a few chapter away from the ending did the two come to realise they love each other and live happily ever.
The translation was well done (my only gripe was some pronoun switching but I see that often in tnl novels) and I think the story itself was written well. It did not need to be 109 chapters tho as many of the conflicts kind of just repeat themselves with new things thrown in for flavor.
I don't think the either the MC or ML grow or change really or maybe not in a satisfying way and it felt like there were no real consequences on either side.
honestly when the amnesia section happened I thought I was going to rip my hair out because I was like "This DB is going to get all he ever wanted with no consequences wtf"
THAT BEING SAID, I'm still a sucker for happy endings. So while this story was frustrating and made me angry quite a bit I didn't hate it but I understand why I see a lot of reviews of people dropping it.
