[Mild spoilers, especially for ch 21]

The deveploment of the story and characters/their relationship feels so natural, it really feels like they are taking their time. The ML wants to make sure the FL is okay and feeling good, he doesn't want to rush things and is respectful of her space - and oh my gosh, any kisses they do feels so nice to see, whether that be little pecks or something more.

The story also feels realistic for the most part, with how she is shown to be healing from trauma, as well as how the characters around them act. When the servant (not palace maids) saw the hickeys and had that reaction, it makes sense, as no one else knows how she is actually like. They see her as someone with the mind of a child, and of course, want to protect her. I can't wait to see how the story unfolds in the future and when others will know the truth.

I'd be really interested in hearing someone's take on this series who has experience on mental disabilities that the FL is showing. In general as well, I'd be curious to hear more from a disability perspective and how it's portrayed in the manwha, despite it not technically being real. I understand that the people around FL don't know she is pretending, but man, something about the characters infantilizing her hit me a bit as someone who is AuDH.

In general, I kind of hope this series would show different kinds of disabilities. Not just physical, but also some other mental disabilities. I know it's unlikely, but I could see this story not doing bad with that.

I also can't wait to see the future where FL and the ex-fiancée become friends. She (ex) is clearly implied to not want to get together with ML, and I can see the two becoming close friends when they eventually get to know each other (maybe it starts when FL is still pretending, maybe it starts after she starts showing her true self). If I remember right, the ex was implied to be into swordmanship... hell yeah.
