First of all, the romance between the leads. There's hints that he's interested in her beforehand (he DID agree to the marriage proposal after all, though whether he accepted because he was interested in her is debatable) but their relationship is pretty much solidified through s*x. (I laughed at extremelypokeable's review that described it as her magical "hooha" and I can never stop thinking about her v*gina with a different term ever again) Honestly though, as I was reading the novel, I didn't feel that it was unnatural. It's one of those romances where the leads sort of just gradually fall in love with each other (emotionally, since all this is happening in-between massive bouts of sex) until one day you're reading it and you realize it has somehow become normal for the two to be extremely affectionate in public, and you just pause and go, "how did we get here?? the s*x was too good I guess (her pu*sy be fukin LITTT" Whether or not this invalidates their relationship is up to you, but I'm personally of the opinion that it's fine. His love for her is definitely real at this point, and it's definitely based on more than just her magical hooha. They took a different path, but they still ended at the same destination. Isn't that fine? Her magical hooha is still her, so it doesn't matter if he wouldn't have begun loving her if she hadn't had that f*ckin out-out-of-this-world v*gina. Idk, again, it's up to you what you think. I kinda got off track LOL but their relationship/romance is honestly pretty sweet to me. He's pretty much the typical male lead -- possessive, good at like everything but emotions, over-protective, etc etc -- but he has an interesting backstory that was a maybe little predictable.
On to the female lead. I quite like Lucia actually. There were some reviewers that disliked her because she doesn't really do much or is a little passive, but not everyone can be a go-getter type A personality. (Also I relate so hard with not wanting to go out/interact with people/do anything other than my own thing so I can't fault her for that LOL.) Lucia might not fit the modern idea of a "strong woman, " but imo she's quite mentally and emotionally strong. She falls in love with Hugh (very predictably, despite all that sh*t of "I'll never fall in love with you!" But come on we all knew that was gonna happen the moment she said it we knew) but that is realistic. Who isn't going to fall (at least a little) in love with a man they regularly have s*x with, that doesn't treat them like shit, and also shows moments of care? The important part is that she doesn't show him that she's fallen in love with him, as per the agreement. (The amount of resolve she's shown so far for this is to the point that I'm pretty sure (and hoping) that it'll be Hugh that confesses first, or at least brings it up first) I think my one of my favourite parts of her personality is her willingness to believe that Hugh has reasons for the things he does, unlike the typical female lead who's dumb and stubbornly does the things she wants to do (that are quite obviously s*upid things to do) without considering the thoughts and feelings of their significant other. Like COME ON WOMAN, A RELATIONSHIP IS A PARTNERSHIP, A TWO-WAY STREET. Lucia very obviously wants kids but she's willing to wait for her partner to be ready to have kids before taking herself off her weird form of birth control (which leads me to the thing I MIGHT dislike most about this story but more on that later). SENSIBLE. THOUGHTFUL. MATURE. YES. Beyond that, she's not a mary-sue (though they are my guilty pleasures -- I have a lot, unfortunately). One of the FLs I like most on this site.
The magic stuff feels kinda just... jammed in there sometimes, but it's not really a huge part of the story (kinda but not really?) so I didn't mind it too much. The smut is pretty good, but requires some suspension of disbelief. (Exhibit A: MAGICAL HOOHA) Honestly, I wasn't expecting much in the first place so anything above like middle school fanfiction is okay.
The only thing I've really disliked about this novel is something that hasn't/might never happen lol. There's hints that the f*cking annoying doctor (go aWAY) is secretly drugging Lucia so that she's able to have kids again (v complex backstory behind this, but basically Hugh is a special snowflake and can only have kids through this special requirement that of course Lucia has somehow stumbled her way into meeting). Obviously, "secretly" implies no consent/prior knowledge from Lucia or Hugh. Anyways, from typical manga/novel logic she'l get pregnant for the drama and there'll be a reconcilation and yay happy ending but if this happens I'll be pretty unhappy. Like, the story will be so much more beautiful if both parties come to a consensus about having children. I just feel bad for the kid if they happen when one of the parents isn't ready. Right now, Hugh wants kids too but because of the misunderstanding/lies over the special requirement thing he doesn't want them, but... Idk. I think it'll just be more character growth if they both make an informed decision because that'll require them actually opening up and talking, both at their own pace, which makes things that much more meaningful.
