• Kyrie: A typical aristrocrat till her bones, she is the perfect "Blue Blood" (blue blood is a term used for aristrocrats), Has a very high sense of responsibility towards citizens, people. A quality which is seen in rulers. The only normal people around her are Laura, Maria I wouldn't consider MarryAnne coz she did showed a slight obsession (obsession is a wrong word here but I would say "blind love") with Kyrie (it can be seen in vol 2). She isn't greedy at all, she just wants to play her role as the daughter of Count Buchanan, protect her precious ppl.
• Nathaniel: An existence made from all kinds of evil that comes from humans and from Earth. He was there even before humans existed so just imagine the firm foundation of his beliefs and thinking process. He is the King of Winter. Death angel (that's what I assumed) he is basically a black existence, the shell of human he takes us coz he wants to be with humans he actually like humans he wants to fit in but he is so powerful, so strong, that it's impossible for him to fit in with humans. Once Kyrie said, it's like a prince is trying to fit in among beggars which is absolutely true. Now this existence has been betrayed by humans so much that how can he be shaken up by a single human? And tbh he did got shaken up in vol 2 but he vaguely realised that if he gets betrayed by Kyrie, he would really break this time so he dragged her to the end of the cliff

Now I think I have given a clear gist of the character's background. The story by no means is a fluffy romance or our typical "obsessive love" of humans... no honey pls go back if u r here for your heart warming romance, this is psychological thriller novel. The reason why this novel is so good is because of "Nathaniel" this character is so good and so unique that even as a reader u get attracted to him so I totally understand why the people around him just want him nd use him. He was made so that everyone gets seduced (not physically but mentally, emotionally) he just makes you obey him. He makes you greedy.

For the first time he saw an existence who isn't Greedy now u tell me what he will do if a very small existence is very unique and precious? Ofc put it in his drawer. Yet tbh he held it in for a good amount of time only if that royal family didn't f*ck up. So he went into madness because of the royal family f*cking it up. They blasted his patience and now, suffer.

If u r in for thriller, psychological thriller, obsession, and dark theme... this is for u, dark nd obsession tag doesn't necessarily has to come with smut and this novel proved it. You don't have to mix body with the FL to show your obsession. Nope not at all.

This novel shows how to f*ck A PERSON MENTALLY

So "people" who complained about not having ✨Romance✨ pls stfu and get out.

Now translation quality....

This is the translator's first project and tbh the quality jumped up as the chapters increased, I really like translators who improve themselves while translating novels. Anyways at the end of the novel the reader can notice how the translator has changed herself and improved her quality. So yes at the start it might me a bit annoying (?) But as u go on reading it would be a lot better, you can start reading from the point where the manhwa season 1 ended but the manhwa is going on a different direction as compared to the novel, it isn't exactly following the novel so few might want to know the plot more closely, so it depends on people

he locks her, threatens to kill people she knows if he she doesn't say his name and actually makes her think he killed them, treated her like shit, and when she escaped from him he set up a whole city with people he hired and made Kyrie think she's safe all because he likes to see her cry tf ? There's more but I don't really remember because it's been like 4-6 months since I've finished the novel

he has a complete psychopathic way of thinking. The way he loves the FL is a like a deranged sense of possession.

the ML has suffered a lot of betrayals and loss of people whom he loved, which made him all the more admanant to keep Kyrie safe from harm and away from others.

when Kyrie runs away from Nathaniel and her brother, Gray, helps him look for her. He likes looking at Gray's eyes because they remind him of Kyrie. He asks if he can have one and plucks out his eyeball. He is then disappointed that it doesn't actually look that much like Kyrie's and then he unceremoniously drops it to the ground.

locking her up after she is kidnapped to possess her and out of concern for her safety, gaslighting her into thinking she escaped by hiring the entire town to pretend they are either rescuing her or don't know her, pretending to kill her staff in front of her because he is frustrated and jealous with her PTSD from the guard that he encouraged su*cide from... according to him he was trying to "make her smile". This causes her to regress mentally to when she was 10 years old.

Nathanial is someone who lived so long as an immortal without being given a chance of being human, that he does not have the same views on relationships, love, and human life. Throughout the story, he does many terrible things because he believes himself to only have evil inside, as that as how he was created. The guilt-arc he goes through was SO satisfying he COMPLETELY DESERVED TO SUFFER IDGAF. At the same time, I could relate to the FL to a certain degree. To be so traumatized, so helpless...

It backfires spectacularly on him. For all his manipulation and emotional torture, she basically does what any normal human will do and mentally shuts down.

Which also backfires on him.

She basically wanted freedom and no more of the responsibilities that her father and other nobles put on her. He does this by becoming the villain (The End) of the Kingdom and allows himself to be "vanquished". But other people got involved and she ends up leading a lonely life without him for a period of time.

The new Crown Princess misunderstood the MC in the past and thought she was belittling her when in reality, the MC was trying to save the girl from getting made fun of by nobles.

She also comes to realize that the Royal Family is tr*sh but it all works out as she becomes Queen in the end.

He straight up mu*ders almost an entire castle of people when she is kidnapped and drugged by the Princess. All this because the royal family thought the MC could control him and that she was his weak spot.

At one point, he fakes her escape from him. Even makes a whole town of people act like she's gotten free. The whole thing was the mind trip and a half.

However, once realizing that everything he's done to her has broken her, he spends time talking with other humans and figures out what she wants most in life. So he gives her that and then sinks himself into the freaking ocean so no one will wake him again.

His plan doesn't work as the other immortal in the story gives his immortality to the MC, which also activates her magical power which has been dormant because of her ancestor's actions. After that, she realizes just how boring it is to be immortal. Her changed mentality (and the words of the other immortal before he turned to dust) helped her understand the ML a little better.

Which causes her to go and find him.
