The Fake Madam Disappeared

Description

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

She had never been real to them.

“I never thought of you as my wife.” Even her husband by contract,

“My wish? It’s for you to disappear.” Nor the son she didn’t share a drop of blood with.

Daphne decided to give up everything then.

The Madam disappeared. To be precise, she disappeared before the Young Lord’s birthday, leaving only a single letter. Everyone didn’t mind and thought that she would be back soon.

One day, two days, ten days.

The Madam didn’t return, and everyone went looking for her. But it was already too late.

Hello, this is Cotton, the translator of this novel~

I started translating this novel wholly because of the cover that just hard to forget, because just look at that art!! Anyway back to topic. When I read the synopsis, I was like, 'Kay, this is an 'I love you but you don't love me so I'm gonna be gone from your sight' trope, which was definitely okay for me. Regretful male leads? Sit me in. But then start the angst part of the novel.

Characters:

... more>>
Spoiler
  1. Daphne - I was actually biased towards Daphne all the time because heck! I felt like the author just want to kill her every time, this girl literally had no time to breathe since chapter 1. Girlie ran away from ML but got caught then pretended to be pregnant only to be running away again. Then she got threatened by her psycho brother because psycho brother knows her weakness. All the people in the story was hell bent on killing this girl, even ML's half-sister. As I've always written on every chapter, it always feels like Daphne would make the good decision to fight against her psycho brother, but no. ML had to save her every freaking time that I developed some kind of pity towards the ML too. The thing I don't understand about her is that she loves Damian unconditionally even after all that cold treatment. It almost seemed like Daphne was just there to give unconditional love without receiving it herself. Then at the end of the story, she get back with the ML after all those gruesome experiences. It turns out she was some kind of goddess who is supposedly to be powerful, but I don't know where her powers went, coz girlie is too weak to defend herself.
  2. Edmund - defined as the walking wall made from ice. Man had so much potential to beg for forgiveness and show his love, but no. He had the key, but decided to yeet the communication key away. So here we are, saving girlie every time she was in danger. I think he never got to rest properly ever since Daphne ran away, leaving him the divorce papers. The first time he got hurt, I was like 'yeah, deserve for not appreciating the FL' but then he got hurt every freaking chapters I start to wonder if he was made from steel. He got those cigarettes every time, making me wonder how is his lungs holding up. Then the emotional torment from all sides, starting with the FL, Elizabeth, the Emperor, his half-sister, Damian... basically every one. He got to shoulder all the problems of the world that it felt like his shoulders is bigger than Earth. Why does he have to jump in on dangers? Is he Superman merged with Iron Man? Until the very end, man had little to no good communication with FL. I don't remember any good conversation between them aside from the ending, when they said their I love you's.
  3. Sergei - did I hate him? To the core, yes. He experimented on everyone on his family, even their mother, which his father allowed. I don't even know why he allowed it in the first place. Then Daphne was his almost perfect experiment until she married ML. He's definitely a sis-con, but in a bad way. Who in their right mind would kill everyone on your family just because? He didn't even stop there, but also experimented with innocent people. If there is one person I wished I could have a heart to heart talk inside a dark basement with no lights and filled with torture tools, that would be Sergei. Until the very end, he didn't change and was hell bent on wanting to become god, most powerful being. He's a total psycho.
  4. Damian - I think the character with the most character development was Damian, and it was obvious too. When he learned every single thing that FL did for him, he realized how jerk he had been towards her when FL was just being sincere as his stepmother. I thought he would also hurt FL when he finally found his biological mother, but he did his best to protect FL. Because of his iron will to protect FL, dark magic didn't work on him and he could listen to the evil plans of his biological mother, then report it back to his father. This was also why ML was able to save Daphne at the end of the story.
  5. Carlito - I was surprised when he did a 180 in the middle, wanting to help Edmund and everything. I used to hate him at the first chapters because of how he looked at FL, but then he suddenly changed. He was the one who helped ML to fight Sergei in the end, which I am really thankful.
  6. Elizabeth - crazy, one word to describe her. Thought she was just someone who likes ML just because, but she became crazier as the story progresses. She even used FL to make ML submit to her, but in the end, she's just a supporting character.
  7. Vanessa - as soon as she appeared in the story, I smelled villain, and I was right. Other than her revenge to the whole Winter Family, she wanted to destroy the whole world. In the process, she even used her own son to achieve that goal. Thankfully it didn't happen. She's a smart person, but too smart for her own good.

Actually, the story had potential. The buildup was excellent right from the start. The emotions were there and you could really get into that angsty mood. However, when that mood was repeated over a hundred times, of how the leads are almost dying, it could feel exhausting.

In the story,
Spoiler

FL and ML actually loved each other but they were too dumb, too s*upid, too egoistic to ever confess their feelings. FL expected that ML would reciprocate her feelings when they don't have any proper conversations. ML treated FL coldly but expect her to come back after she disappeared. Is she a dog that would come back when you call? When FL was found, ML tried all his best to keep her by his side, while FL did her best to escape, even threatening him with her own life.

I almost cried, a lot of times actually. But then the story became a little repetitive. The FL got hurt ML to the rescue... it went on the point that even I, as the translator needed to take a breather every now and then.

[collapse]

I actually do not like angst stories, but I refused to believe that Daphne and Edmund's story would be just like that. Well it did actually. If you're looking for a fun read, this is definitely not that. But if you're in the feels to be dramatic with the rain pit pattering on your window, this is definitely the one.

PS. I swear this is a review not a rant. <<less

If I'm going to be honest this story had a ton of potential, but has a few major pitfalls. The translation though is pretty good, and very easy to understand. And major points for the site being easy to use.

The first and worst one has to be that that the male lead (ml) is so unlikeable and frustrating that it's he's the personification of a brick wall.
Spoiler

his constant invalidation of the female leads (fl) bodily autonomy and his refusal to even treat her like a person left a sour taste in my mouth. What tops it all off is him caring about an alleged unborn child more than his own wife. He treats it with a lot more respect than his wife receives.

[collapse]

Another one that truly made this story difficult to read was how feels like at every turn we have to be reminded of just how helpless the female lead (fl) is
Spoiler

her somehow barely surviving death like 3 times really lowers the stakes for the story. If she, as someone who we are constantly reminded is as frail as a twig, can survive the stakes mean nothing to the rest of the characters.

[collapse]
I just don't understand why she's written to be like this.

The story itself could've been about the rebuilding of trust between the ml, fl, and the ml's child. Instead though, it feels like everything falls to the wayside for the dramatic plot to take fold, and the relationship between the three feels like it's barely changed. Overall not the best thing I've read, but if your a fan of angst and dramatic plots, this is the one for you.

The story's flow is a little odd as the author randomly cuts from POV to POV (though she makes a clear distinction between them so it's still coherent), but as a fan of angst, this story is definitely very hard-hitting in that aspect! The plot is somewhat meandering as the main storyline is about the duchess who has run away, but I do enjoy the emotions it evokes in me. The translator is very friendly and enthusiastic about this as well. I recommend the story for readers who enjoy angst,... more>> especially the kind along the lines of "You never know what you have until you lose it". The story focuses a lot on the POVs of the father-and-son duo so seeing them gradually realize how the duchess has been treated throughout the years as well as their (belated) affection for her gets satisfying over time. I hope to see some intense groveling! <<less
