Description

Tristan’s wife for five years.
She put an end to the hellish married life she had to endure because she loved him.
Eliana, who left behind her beloved child and husband, decided to live a new life under the name Sera, erasing her memories, but she ended up returning to Tristan’s embrace.

“Sera, this was the kind of relationship we had. Allowing each other’s bodies to be ours alone.”
“What happened? Ahhh-ang!”

Now Sera was curious about her past. So intensely curious that she had never been before in the past two years.
She felt so unfamiliar with herself, trembling like a crazy woman in the pleasure this man gave her.
Because her current appearance felt as if it wasn’t her own. She wondered what the true Sera was like.

“Then come find a memory every night. Anything. Even a lingering trace.”

It's really difficult for me to rate this objectively coz my dislike is too strong. I've read a lot of non-con smut and welcome healthy amount of angst and obsession with good plot, but there's no romance here, only pain, constant ab*se, and tragedy.

It's extremely angsty and emotionally exhausting, that I need to skim read most of the part. ML is probably the scummiest and most abusive s*umbag out there that it will be truly disappointing if he ever get any redemption. That abusive tag is really no joke.

Spoiler

He suspected his wife of infidelity and had a child with another man, and r*ped her over and over again so she can conceive his "true" child. The tremendous physical and emotional ab*se cost her two miscarriages. The r*pe even continued after the truth came out.

[collapse]

Although I'm curious about the ending, but I'm going to drop this for the sake of my mental health. Update: Spoiler says that ML is easily forgiven in the end. Wtf. There you go, 1 star for that shitty ending. <<less

ML's actions are not *entirely* his own will or fault. He definitely carries some of the blame but

Spoiler

He's being forcefed magic potion that erases all good memories of FL and amplifies all bad emotions towards her. Basically, everytime he cheats or treats her badly, he had just been dosed to hate her to the extreme. These same people have been also gaslighting him into thinking FL hates him, cheats on him, is using him, etc.

He decided to be loyal to FL after their first time. It promptly gets forcefully ERASED FROM HIS BRAIN while he was trying to break up with the side piece, then he cheats with the side piece because he doesn't remember any of it. To me, she altered his memories and basically r*ped him. So that's kind of how a ton of his terrible stuff shouldn't have been nearly that bad.

[collapse]

It wouldn't have felt so disgusting if it didn't give a few short explicit scenes at the very start, but I think it's to emphasize the vast difference in his later relations with FL. Still. Ew.

The writing, plot, characters, etc are all pretty good quality. There's a metric f*ton of angst and misunderstandings, but it's primarily actual plot and not just people being dense for the sake of plot. Though there's a large deal of forced intimacy (as in most people would say noncon), most of the time it's more like 'hesitant at first' or it comes across VERY sus because one of them is super angry or jealous or forcing themselves for the sake of 'duty'... there's technically a small grey area to argue consent, but you'd need a magnifying glass to find it sometimes. But when it's wanted, it's WANTED. I know that doesn't count for much, but yeah.

Both of the two specific unfortunate incidents later on... ML didn't cause those. He's actually heartbroken that FL made choices that lead to that stuff. She was the one who knew and knowingly chose to do the things that caused it. No spoiling, just... you'll understand if you read to those points.

ML is pretty awful, but if you don't notice various details, you'll often assume he's the cause for things... because I mean, he's pretty awful at times. Extremely awful. It's just that he's not AS AWFUL as you'd first think. The first third of the novel? I wanted to set him on fire... with a very slow burning flame to draw out his suffering. The very end? I think he suffered *almost* enough, not as much as I hoped. At least at the end, it's obvious he'll be kissing her feet for the rest of their lives. <<less

Edit: there should be an award for worst ML. Please don't read this unless you want to throw up everytime ML shows up.

Holy shitttt, this novel's angst is so good? Bad? Either way, I'm not even finished but the amount of hate I have for ML and his father is so strong. Also, their feelings, at least ML's "love" is so superficial. ... more>>
Spoiler

Like a f*cking arrogant, self-absorbed a**hole, he only admits to himself that he loves her AFTER it's proven that Andrea is their child?What?? Then he has the audacity to say that he wishes he had told her he loves her earlier? Just as that witch, Lucy, said, the imperial family only cares about appearances. His only thoughts were questioning why this was happening, and if she could forgive him in ghe future, and hardly tries to take responsibility for his actions, his feelings, anything, even in his head.

[collapse]

MINOR SPOILERS!! For starters, ML's actions are arguably "not his fault, " but that doesn't change his undeserved doubt and disrespect towards FL.

Spoiler

He was being fed drugs that basically amplified his negative feelings for FL, but the KEYWORD is AMPLIFIED. Even before meeting her (at her home, af the start), he already had a horribly spoiled, arrogant attitude, and was downright an a**hole. Sure, he mellows out after the effects are nullified by Eliana, but that doesn't excuse the fact that he has doubts about FL's loyalty for no reason.

[collapse]

Anyways, I think both ML and FL at the moment are both too immature for the situation they are in, only ML's fiancee seem level headed. FL is too weak-willed for her environment, and ML and his family are just irredeemable a**holes.
Spoiler

ML's father, the emperor pretends to be grateful to FL's mother for saving his son, then later reveals that he only ever thought of FL as a tool to save his son.

[collapse]

One more thing that annoys me is this novel's amount of smut. It happens in the most random times, and dulls down the angst... Like why is ML's first reaction to getting FL back, granted she lost her memories, is to have s*x with her? 💀💀💀 Be fr. Even on the synopsis his method of helping her recollect her memories is to f*ck? Their relationship is so superficial though I am only halfway through.
Spoiler

Also, I think it's f*cking crazy how FL just allows ML to have s*x with her several times, arguably forced, then says she is angry at herself for not being able to hate him completely? What the f*ck.
