in a rational way : yes mariage with a good partner is the best for her
She has no friend, no support, no money, and her family hate her
Rational and logical thinking, You’re absolutely right. But will that be an exciting journey for the reader? Not really unless you through in more characters to the mix with subplots but there aren’t any and her family are just background
it could be if she is reincarnated or sth like that. She has none, no friend, no family, no money, no background, no knowledge. She is a bird in a cage. Unless she is off the street, or working as commoner, there is no way around it.
So by contrast, how realistic is it that she can stumble on a prince and get a royal wedding like a Cinderella? Too convenient. If she can attain a royal marriage this easily, she can definitely find a way out of this cage.
For example, she could have stolen some valuables secretly from her ex fiancé, cashed them and started a business in secret until she files for divorce. She was unhappy and lonely, not some dirt poor prisoner.
that's also true, but marry off to another dude is still more feasible than get rich by on her own and have enough power to talk back to the people who made her suffer. If she steals his money, she would lose her dignity. I don't want her to commit crime because of trash like him. Tbh, the fact that she left without taking anything from him was the best part.
If it's my choice, I would rather her divorce, get some settlements(money,etc) and marry off to a lower rank noble or a wealthy business man, then live her live quietly. But it won't be satisfy for many readers.
she's only book smart, so she know how lead a household. so she need to marry someone who will accept her, but in her country, it will be impossible.
the prince was the best option ( he has a higher status)
But manage a business without partner will be hard, and she have no support.
she could go to jail if she stole something from her ex-fiancé.
In fact she was treated without respect, because if i remember she has a commoner mom (?)
yes, her name was a maid, I think
This is true, ofc marriage is more feasible but again that’s what I meant by boring and convenient. Divorce and settlement money won’t necessarily leave the readers dissatisfied if the author knows how to pull good twists but we obviously know the answer to that.
Her not taking anything from his was not the best part. I completely disagree. She should’ve taken everything and left him homeless for all that depression he caused her but no, we just need to get a yet another Mary Sue who leaves the ex in tears and regret and call that revenge.
She would go to jail only if the ex fiancé reports her and it’s clear now that he had feelings her for so there’s no need to worry about jail time. And even if he didn’t like her, it would be pretty embarrassing to have the world know that your own wife needed to steal in her own house to survive so I’m sure he’d keep quite.
I guess we have to agree to disagree. I don't like taking things the doesn't belong to me, if I was in her case, I would also do the same, I would take nothing from him. Unless they shared money and she made money him, then she should take it. But they are just engaged, not married, so I doubt that it's her money. They didn't go in depth if she managed the dukedom finance, if she didn't, then she really lived off their money.
Anyone else find this story incredibly vanilla? No dislike or anything but I’m just not engaged. Webtoon websites are saturated with these type of stories lately so to stand out you really need more than the typical tragic backstory. The best way to separate a good from bad story is MC’s path to success and this author took the most straightforward and boring path. Marriage. Really? That was the only way MC could get away from her horrid family and fiancé? By jumping into another marriage and making everyone jealous on the way?
