Tl;DR: SHE DOES NOT RAISE HIM. SHE MEES HIM WHEN HES 8, HELPS HIM OUT, GETS TRAPPED IN A DIFFERENT DIMENSION AND WHEN SHE COMES BACK HE HAS GONE CUCKOO BANANAS.
Is it a kind of weird premise? Yeah. But worse marriages have happened in history and worse FL/ML pairings have been done, where the FL LITERALLY RAISES the ML. (Looking at you, I raised the tyrant and ran away, looking at you, I became the dukes maid, looking at you that hansel and Gretel witch one, and also literally every go back in time/reincarnation story where the FL becomes a child again)
But she rejects the marriage because he's a child and only ends up going through with it because surprise, he's an 8 year old duke who can be easily manipulated through marriage, so she decided to stay by his side to protect him. There isn't any romance during this time.
Her original plan was: after he didn't need her protection anymore she wanted to find him a nice wife his own age and then go off on her own to grow flowers.
Honestly, if the whole trapped by dark magic things didn't happen that's probably how things would've gone, but unfortunately her disappearance was the last straw in his sanity and he got really obsessed and when she comes back he is certifirtifiably insane.
People overusing words like gr**ming takes the meaning out of the word and muddles the very awful details it actually entails. She knows him for like a month and then basically is in a time comas for ten years. That's not grooming. It's just kind of weird. But every time travel reincarnation romance is kind of weird, but suddenly when the FL looks her age it's not ok anymore?
Anyways. My point is, this one actually isn't that bad. If has interesting lore and the FL is a great character. I rate it 5 stars to offset the review bombing from people who didn't bother to read it.
