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

A territory devastated by a long war, Pervaz.

And the new lord who shall restore Pervaz, Asha Pervaz.

She receives an audience with the emperor to collect the reward for her victory,

But she was met with ridicule, called a ‘barbarian princess’, and given the absurd right to pick her marriage partner as a reward for victory.

Asha makes the best possible choice in such a situation.

“Then…… Duke Carlyle Haven”

She chooses the noble ranked first on the list of nobility, the first prince, who was recently deprived of his position as crown prince following a grand scandal.

She plans to request compensation when he refuses, but contrary to her expectations, he accepts her choice. While also promising to provide a tremendous amount of support for the restoration of Pervaz.

“What do wish from me?”

“Don’t concern yourself with what I do in Pervaz. Don’t wish for me to treat you as a wife, and don’t join forces with my enemies. Then quietly sign the divorce papers when I request one.”

It was a deal with nothing for Asha to be dissatisfied about.

She took the hand of the arrogant man who even looked down on his father, the emperor.

His lips spread into a charming smile.

“I hope we can get along well, wife.”

A lovely, straightforward read. I binge read the story, spread over a week, and throughout that period, I found myself looking forward to the evenings so that I could read the chapters! Similar to what some Reviews already said, the whole material is simple, but don't get me wrong, that's what made it beautiful. The simplicity. I believe that was the author's intent: to present to us a sweet story of 2 individuals, whose love grew in the midst of the ML's power struggle to reclaim his rightful position, with... more>> the FL'S character becoming his strong equal counterpart.

Just a few notes, neither good nor bad, but I'd just like to comment...

Spoiler

-It seems like the MC is the ML, and FL is the support. It's the ML's story. It's his throne that's being reclaimed. He's the one who had a lot of inner monologue, especially when he realizes, slowly, that he's in love with her. It was so satisfying to see his arrogant shell crumble out of love.

-FL: she's a woman on a mission... who happens to be caught up in a contract marriage as compensation for her war victory... and, fell in love as she rebuilt her territory with him. I love stories showcasing that the FL and ML are equals... and the FL's abilities, in battlefield and in leadership, did not disappoint. She is her own empowered individual.

-The villains were dumb. All of them. Priest was dumb for falling for the FL, Half-sibling brother was simply an idiot, and the Empress was supposedly scheming, but it's not even clear how she's "Mary Sue" politically. Nonetheless, the villains' dumbness are forgivable and enjoyable for a story whose intent was really only to narrate in a straightforward manner. The absurdity of the villains even added comedic parts, adding to why the novel could be read in a light and casual mood.

-sweet, slow burn romance! It worked though, and the author really took her time. The narrative focused on everything that the MCs had to prioritize, casting love as an overarching backdrop that they so strongly deny, yet also stubbornly demanding its presence.

This novel got me hooked from the first chapter. I finished it in 4 days which is quite fast for a slow reader like me.
Spoiler

The FL is worthy of admiration and respect after everything that she has gone through, she doesn't give up. She's not shaken by anyone. She also stands by her morals, no matter what. She cares about her people first before herself, which says a lot about her.

The ML starts off as an arrogant royal, but he later learns a lot from the FL and finds his purpose again. The ML is smart and has a strong conviction to get what he wants. The ML pines for the FL slowly. I was giggling just reading his thoughts.

[collapse]

The character growth from the FL and ML was excellent for the reader to follow.

The side characters have their own story different from each other. The plot is amazing. The translation was good, though pronouns were a little mixed, sometimes, but it was still easy to follow.

OH MY GODDDD this is so fun!!

I love Carlyle's character was written. He runs his mouth, sure, but the author also displays his thoughts and actions in such a way that makes him swoon-worthy. Couple that with Asha's black cat, aloof personality. It was so fun seeing how their story unfold.

Spoiler

That scene where they fought together for the first time??? I was jumping on my bed, legs kicking with uncontrollable squealing. IT WAS SO COOL!!!

[collapse]

The translation was superb too, with minor errors that you can easily overlook. Overall a really enjoyable read <<less

The story is so nice. The male and female lead are both lovable characters. It is not the typical novel that is emotionally dragging. Where can I read the full novel? Thank you for responding.

The real story begins in chapter 14, you can read the description and skip there.

I hate it when authors show a scene in the first chapter then begin their story weeks before that. Plus the chapters until she actually proposes her deal are full of unnecessary knowledge that can be summarized in a few sentences. You already know how things will go.... It was so unnecessary that even the low-quality manhwa cut those parts and put them as flashback scenes. Actually, they even removed an averagely important villain, perhaps because... more>> he was being overly petty at random times?

Another factor for the low score is this: If we add up all the villains' brain cells, they don't add up any higher than 2 I think. The emperor is a straight child, the empress is a classic overreaching egoistic woman, the royals are letting out hungry turkey noises, villainess women who tries to ride that ML d... Such a tasteless choice... I thought I'd be fine if I skipped ALL THOSE LOOONG antagonist parts since they're pointless. You can basically read the last two paragraphs are you'll be done...

ML&FL's relationship was quite fun for a while and I loved how ML found a way to have fun with her. BUT! IT ALL GONE BACKWARDS! I hoped that by chapter 50 they would get a bit close but nah... The relationship stayed the same.

I should add that even though ML grew up in a warzone he sometimes makes ignorant comments or asks s*upid questions about FL's territory... Since he is SO disrespectful that even people close to him don't respect FL's side. It annoyed me so much. This behavior is a constant element in this novel btw.

Spoiler

Well, he did try to cut their tongues just for the show but after that, he still continued to bad mouth their conditions anyway.

[collapse]

Anyway, dropping at chapter 55... The author really had to bring in cheap antagonists to that castle... At this point leads together don't have any screen time... Why would you put multiple villains so close??? They are so boring at that too.... UGH, I'm done. DONE <<less

This novel was wonderful, heartwarming at the same time. The characters were so devoted towards each other trying to fulfill what the other lacks and so on. The story itself is not overly dramatic and avoids any of the usual plot twists that the other novels had. It has its own smooth pace that was just following the flow of the storyline, honestly that part itself was amazing considering that it was just a one way flow of story regarding the ascension to the throne with their affection just sprouting... more>> along the way.

It stays true to its plotline and is even somewhat committed especially with how the author makes the characters overcome the obstacles without any unnecessary drama. Coming this much I could even say that it's just your ordinary and typical romance fantasy, without any tags of transmigration or reincarnation, it's ordinary in a way that its predictable and just that, yet this simplicity has its own charm.

Especially with many of the novels that I've read before this, with all of their over the top plot and characters, compared to that this was done in moderation and is honestly like a refreshing spring breeze—nothing shocking, nothing enraging, and nothing to shout about. You simply read, relax, and enjoy your coffee until you reach the happy ending, and it was nice as the books I've read before this makes me so emotionally drained. It was soothing and enjoyable, which provides me a relaxing read without that much of an emotional exhaustion. Overall, it was an amazing and refreshing experience.

Loved this story!! The author did such a great job. I started off the story thinking there was no way these two characters would get together in a way that made sense and that it would just be the author forcing them together. I'm glad to say I was wrong. The author did a wonderful job developing and growing her characters til it just made sense for them to be together.

This novel is a chief kiss fr, I liked it all tbh, the only thing that irritated me a bit was FL and ML being hesitant to express their love but their relationship was really good and powerful like literally and not like any typical contractual relationships

The only reason I am writing this review is due to the incorrect and incomplete information provided in another review.

After all the actions taken by Carlyle he apologized to Asha for insulting her people and other actions taken by him without making it an ambiguous apology. Please read the whole novel before writing a review as your words may turn away people who may enjoy this novel for what it actually is. A Good Novel.
