Description

Suddenly one day, Mariabelle’s fiancé Edward broke off their engagement, saying that he had found true love.

His new fiancé was Annette, a commoner who had charms that Mariabelle did not have.

However, Annette’s education as Crown Princess was not going well, and Mariabelle was asked to be her teacher.

“You are the most perfect lady of all.”

Edward had no ill intentions when he smiled and said that. He was just insensitive to people’s feelings.

After turning down the offer to be Annette’s teacher, Mariabelle was offered another marriage proposal.

But when Edward found out about it, he somehow pressured her to get back together with him…

“It’s too late to ask me to get back together now since you broke off our engagement after telling me you had found your true love!”

MTLed the WN to the end.

At first, it seems like another cliche with 2D opponents but nope, it is actually full of politics with interesting characters and enough romance to not make it educational. The motivation behind the key characters was properly explained as well. The ending is a bit weird though. Maybe it's because I MTLed it but the ending doesn't feel like an ending. And it seems like hinting that there will be a continuation. Overall, it's a good read, I think.

So the following is just so when I come back to read this book after chapters built up I can read a summary of what happened and not be confused and have to look through other reviews to try to remind myself which story this is...
Spoiler

Typical plotline where the prince breaks off the engagement since he fell in love with a commoner, he is the prince of the kingdom. She goes back to her territory after being forced to meet the commoner who doesn't understand the etiquette, later she goes to the empire and there she met the ML (empires prince) who took her on a date and proposed which she accepted. She then went with her father to a noble who loves books so her and the ML can claim they meet again at that nobles house as justification because ML's previous fiancé "died" (she is not dead, just loved someone else so faked death) and thats basically it for their relationship. In the kingdom her family is the breadbasket that produces high quality wheat, there is an enemy family who has started importing low quality grain thats sold for cheaper (which is what prompted female leads father to go to the empire for trade) and that family has started to create a relationship with the dumbass princes commoner bride to gain more power. There was also some suspicious stuff about how all the other dukes died during a pandemic while their house was the only one that survived. In the most recent chapter (32) the prince just realized that his commoner bride doesn't even know how to write causing him to start the process of realizing the follies of his choices.

Above is a poorly done summary of what has happened up to chapter 32 for anyone who is picking up the book again or whatever.

It’s a nice story, your typical shoujo “Prince breaks engagement to his fiancée but turns out shes the backbone of the country” story, but with a more realistic and political twist. Instead of Mariabelle leaving and things collapsing like a house of cards, it’s a lot less dramatic, the kingdom doesn’t fall into shambles and the prince is still competent enough to pick up the slack (though much much slower and worse than Mariabelle).

It’s nice that both the Prince and his commoner lover aren’t actually extremely malicious and antagonistic (on... more>> purpose/consciously), and theres real politics at play when Edward breaks things off with Mariabelle that isn’t just “And now the kingdom goes to sh*t and everything fails but Mariabelle is in the land of rainbows and couldn’t care less”. For example, Mariabelle knows many state secrets that she refuses to disclose even after her ties to the royal family are broken and on the flip side the king makes sure to bring her back to test and see if she’s trustworthy enough to continue to live knowing these secrets.

But both the romance and the political scheme are quite shallow. The romance happens at the speed of light with Mariabelle and Renato deeply in love within one to two meetings. The politics are equally as quick and have a lot more development but is unraveled equally as quick and presented at the speed of light.

Overall, the story wasn’t bad. Was it life changing or so good that I was kept up at night? No, but it was a breath of fresh-air amongst all the other “prince breaks engagement and suddenly the country is up in flames” type of stories. <<less

Well, this is more or less like every other typical Japanese webnovel, but I'm loving the development and the fact that it has politics and not much (boring) scheming. One part that I love is the part where Edward (ML's ex-fiance), was declared incapable and when power was collected from him and given to his 12 year old cousin. Seriously he's just too dumb for my liking...

Warning: Please don't expect overly dramatic scenes, fluffy romance or malicious scheming. Just your almost-everyday 'Prince breaks engagement and everything turns upsidedown' books.

Overall, it's... more>> a good read, and the translation is good. Thanks to the translation team! <<less

Above average. MC is marginally less of a doormat than the average Japanese protagonist. As other reviewers have noted, it's refreshing to see a little more attention being paid to the politics. World building is ok as well -- names are consistent with nationality, which is a nice detail.

However, the narrative style of Japanese light novels conflicts with what is expected of English language storytelling, and the translation isn't that good either, making the prose incoherent at parts. The emotional developments of the side characters are far more convincing than... more>> those of the protagonists, which is depressing. Content wise, this novel does not pass the Bechdel test, and MC still falls into the category of yamato nadeshiko who care to only 'strongly think' (sic) when it comes to wanting to marry a specific boy. The good-wife-wise-mother railroad is ok for everything else, even with someone of her level of training. Making someone like this the centre of a proper story is a mistake. 3 stars. <<less

Chapters are short, so this is a pretty quick read even at 80-some chapters long. The story was pretty average, there's no action in it whatsoever, 100% of the story is just characters talking to eachother. The ending was pretty boring. The more I think about the story the worse it gets, to be honest. After this review, I seriously doubt I'll remember ever reading this story, it's just... meh.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Impressively good - NOT isekai, there are actual real-world consequences for the feckless prince. I love that it also concentrates on how Mariabelle was basically railroaded into becoming a perfect princess because Edward was completely incompetent, and had no desire to become competent or a halfway decent ruler - therefore whoever he married had to make up for everything he lacked in manners, strategy, diplomacy, etc. Once Mariabelle ditched his lame as*, there was suddenly no one to make up for all his impressive shortcomings. Poor Annette certainly... more>> wasn't able to - she came from a completely different background and has no basic knowledge of where to even begin learning. Edward ends up being his own victim, and it's BEAUTIFUL. Poor Mariabelle never even questioned why she had to be perfect and Edward didn't until she met Renato, who is the crown prince of the neighboring empire and immediately proposes to Mariabelle,

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD -
Spoiler

Ranato's fiance - who is actually his cousin - is in love with someone else and they were only engaged as basically a Make A Wish for a little girl (the cousin) who was not expected to live past the age of 12. She did, and fell in love with the doctor who cured her - who loved her back, and so she wanted to renounce her nobility and marry the person she actually loved. Renato, being a reasonable person, went along with this and therefore now needed a fiance, and since literally the most competent person on the continent suddenly came free, he asked her. I LOVE Renato - he's a kind and supportive person to the people around him, and his relationships with his aide and brothers are just hilarious. He anticipates that Edward will put all the blame for the broken engagement on Mariabelle, despite her being completely the only innocent party involved, and he moves to block Edward's tr*shing of Mariabelle's reputation with the play by writing and having his own performed. There's a lot of other plot points I would love to discuss - Edward is a complete IDIOT about the people around him, and part of the problem is that he only has yes-men surrounding him, and that lets some terrible influences in. Edward is a completely spoiled brat who does get what is coming to him eventually, and while I feel sorry for Annette - she's a surprisingly sympathetic character, neither a villianess nor a complete angel, just an ordinary person caught up in political games that she is neither prepared for nor willing to be involved in who gets thrown into the deep end and jot supported. Edward makes his own grave, and he's not happy about it but honestly he completely did it to himself. Mariabelle and Renato get to live happily ever after, and he gets to give up his right of succession and get shipped off with Annette, who he no longer is as enamored of as originally. Sucks to be you, buddy - next time try being a decent human being instead of a sinkhole of selfishness!

4 stars for the slightly different plot from other broken engagement story.

Unlike other broken engagement story, this story focused more on political intrigue within and outside the kingdom rather than romantic story between MC and ML. It's find though because it's quite refreshing. But what I couldn't stand was MC and ML's lack of role in the main story.

... more>>
Spoiler

MC was merely a pawn in those schemes and machinations that happened in the main story. Her engagement was the result of her father's effort to reduce the duke's influence while her broken engagement was the result of the duke's manipulation who wanted to insert his own people to be the crown princess. Poor MC, unaware that she was part of conspiracy. Somehow, she managed to know it in the middle of the story but she was quite calm about it, like she didn't mind at all that she was used by her father. Maybe she thought that it's part of her duty as a noble daughter.

As for ML, he didn't know much about the conspiracy because he was from another kingdom. He only knew few that's related to his kingdom so he hardly helped uncovering the conspiracy.

So in conclusion, MC and ML weren't like the protagonists of the story at all.

As for the ending, it could be better and so were the extras. <<less
