My Husband Thought I Was Dead And Became A Tyrant!

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Serienne was a commoner maid who worked under Count Tremain. One day, her lost memories of the past 10 years flooded back to her.

Her original name was Ashella de Ach. She was not a commoner, but a lady of the prestigious de Ach duchy, a household framed for an incident she barely escaped death from.

After recalling her memories, she vowed to find her family and return to her beloved husband, the emperor of the empire, Lahadelt…

“If you want to live, don’t say a word or even take a breath that I can hear.”

However, he became a crazy tyrant feared by the entire empire.

He was definitely the cute scaredy-cat she had loved, so what in the world happened in the last 10 years?

“There’s a rumor that the emperor lost his lover and went crazy.”

There’s no way that’s because of me, right?

It was a good run. I would definitely reread it at some point.

Good story line excellent translation I just wish for more cause am greedy.

They were in an arranged marriage when they where younger but I wonder how that happened since she has a brother and he is a prince also even if he was the head of the neutral faction I assume he was still a Duke. I kind of don't understand the inner palace dynamics that led to their weeding, but that is the plot royal family died... more>> and the only one left is Hadel so bring him back. And since they weren't expecting this him being married was a no go we need a way to control or sway the emperor so let us take his wife out of the picture real quick.

I liked the fact that her memories returned to her all at once. Returning bit by bit would have led to confusion and an identity crisis, and what if she accidentally slipped up in front of the Duke forgot his name I don't remember bad guys names that much in general her family would have been in an even worse situation. Him assuming she was a clueless commoner with just the right features to seduce the emperor a card that can be discarded at any point was what got her the opportunity to flip the tables later on which was satisfying.

I wanted a bit more in their relationship I felt like they were so robbed of their time together and the whole story was her trying to get back to where she belongs by his side and clearing her family's name. They are so cute together, their blind trust and love for each other I could read another 300 chapters easy. <<less

The pacing was a significant issue, but the way the author develops the plot and characters is the main problem. You can't take anyone or any situation seriously. It feels like a child's play. There is no emotional heaviness like you'd think a husband who lost his wife for 10 years could have. One second he is traumatized and bam! Suddenly, he is completely fine and joking. It didn't fit the character at all. There are unreasonable things like:
Spoiler

a man swinging an ax at them just because they act lovely dovely at a restaurant. And it made me think, "They couldn't think of anything else to write that day?"

[collapse]

Genre should include: Comedy, and tags should include: comedic undertone because what the helly? What the hellion? What the hellyberry? Dropped after chapter 43. I feel like even the drama wasn't worth it.

Soo... This s*** is great. For the people who don't know, this is a story were our FL, Asha, was married to her chilhood friend and ML, Hadel, who was [blind (?) ] And was the emperor's (discarded) Child. He was called to the impirial palace because they had found the cure for his eyes, so he went there without Asha, who was attacked and as a resault she lost her memory for ten years. When she came back (per sey) she will go to meet him, BUT because, eventough... more>> she has blind feith in him that he will recognaiz her, he never soo Asha's face so it's going to be a bit more difficult. Altough they do meet reather easely.

Anyway it's a grat storry and it's true that I only read the firts 12c. BuT it's so good, I already cryed, screamed and was on edge the entiere time

Ah! Yeah here's the wattpad acc that already has so meny c. : @/zardelia <<less

So far, the story is very interesting.

It starts with giving us a peek of the very loving relationship the adorable couple have, then Asha recalling her memories after 10 years. Her dear husband is a well-established tyrant by then. Lol.

But there's an unexpected twist and so, we're not sure how long it will take Asha to get a chance to talk to Hadel and if he would even recognize her as his long lost wife.

Translations are great so far, too. ^^

I saw that this webnovel doesn't have much reviews so I'll review it I guess (I'm really bad at reviewing so pls don't come at me) so I'm pretty sure most of you know about the trope 'Tyrant ml' or 'obsessive ml' both tropes are same to me and I don't really like this trope due to the fact that most novels using this trope has mls whose a d*ck to everyone for no logical reason and the author justifying it by saying he has a traumatic past but he... more>> should be able to differentiate between trauma and logical reasoning right ? I mean I haven't experienced ab*se firsthand but please do not address ab*se in such a way as it's not a light matter anyways before I go off on a rant I'll start the review.

Plot-It's pretty generic but they gave some uniqueness to it like not making the FL go back in time and stuff to gain back everything (the only other novel I could think of that has this uniqueness is 'two-faced princess') I also adore the fact that ML and FL are already in love but I can't really comment on the plot much as it only has 11 chapters at the time of me writing this but lemme say this, this has a lot of potential and I mean A LOT.

Characters-Asha (fl) :She's a determined female lead and does not let her emotions make s*upid decisions. She also does not believe in rumors blindly and be scared rather she feels nervous cause she wonders if ML would recognize her or not (she really wants ML to recognize her) and I would say she's really a likeable character.

Lahadelt (ml) :He's a really pitiful character and there's a very good reason as to why he became a tyrant and it's because he wants revenge on all nobles as they're the ones who killed our FL and it's also really sad how he looks at the moon and imagined how Asha looked like because he had never seen Asha cause he was blind, the only information he has on her looks was that she had silver hair and silver eyes. He had also been cast away when he was young cause he is an illegimate child and also cause he's blind back then, our FL was the only one who offered a helping hand to him and became friend and then to best friends and then to love- (you get the point) anyways he's a really good ml.

Overall-It's really good and I hope it won't go to sh*t and I'm giving this a high rating so that it may become more popular also the translation is really good. Thank you lilac novels for translating this :). <<less

Pros:

  • The couple is very sweet and adorable. It's a pure and genuine love with no toxicity or ab*se.
  • Both FL and ML are intelligent and capable characters. Neither of them make brainless or idiotic decisions that make you want throw something at them.
  • There are no prolonged or stretched out misunderstandings for the sake of pointless drama.
  • Throughout the story there are occasional flashbacks to the couple's childhood memories, which are really cute and it helps make their undying love for each other more believable.
  • The story doesn't rely too heavily on overused clichés. I especially like how this isn't just another transmigration or reincarnation story where the character's lives are completely reset (that plot device has always felt kind of cheap/lazy to me). Instead of being reborn, FL lost her memories and was missing for 10 years. Which means that there are actual negative repercussions to her absence, such as missing out on seeing her younger siblings grow up.
Cons:

  • I really don't have any complaints other than the fact that at the beginning of the novel, all of FL's memories abruptly returned randomly after 10 years for no apparent reason. It would be nice if it wasn't so rushed, and her memories returned back gradually or something.

This story is one of a kind, it made me cry, laugh and filled me with sweetness. At first I was hesitant in reading this, but I still tried because the reviews were great, and I didnt regret it, my only regret is why did I read this when the chapters were still short. Its a wonderful story, the translations were also great, thank you for that.

I liked this novel from the first chapters, and by the nineteenth chapter my love for it intensified. I really love FL and the way she talks about her husband (ML) with such love. To me I am very sorry for ML because he lost his beloved for 10 years. For ten whole years, Carl! He suffered so much.I so wanted him to quickly understand that FL is his Ashella alive. I care so much about their relationship. I bow to the translators, thank you very much🛐🛐🛐

It was nice seeing it start at regaining memories instead of the whole ordeal of 'You're my lover but something happened and you lost your memories!' kind of thing. They also quickly solved the misunderstanding and let them have their cute moments.

I love this novel very much. I liked the heroine’s plan, her trust in her husband and her lack of fear of him, and the beauty of the scene of their meeting after ten years. Sad and happy, mixed feelings full of tears of joy. I hope the translation will continue because I miss the beautiful couple. 😭

I’ll start iff by saying I really enjoyed this one. The tone here is different from a lot of the other novels I’ve read here, and the thing that really carried it for me was the relationship between the main couple, which does stand out.

However, I did have some gripes with it. My main issue was that there was never a real issue, problem, or threat to our main characters. The ML is incredibly overpowered and can do superhuman things. The FL is always one step ahead. Because of this,... more>> even when the narrative was trying to create tension it all fell flat for me. There wasn’t a single time where a chapter ended and I was left worried for what would happen, since again and again it had been shown that the leads were far above any other character, and nothing would ultimately happen. <<less
