This is TOP TIER!!!! The premise is very overdone (child mc, terminally-ill female lead who's originally an extra, etc.) BUT everything else is a breath of fresh air! First of all the male lead: I don't think I ever saw a male lead with his personality, I usually only see it in female leads' older brothers in other childcare stories. He's an ABSOLUTE MENACE of a brat, but surprisingly not annoying in any way! He's such a cutie, I can understand why his family (and everybody else) dotes on him so much (≧∀≦). Which brings me to another original point: the male lead's and female lead's backgrounds. As some people already said, it's usually always a cheerful and loved female lead 'saving' the traumatized, emotionless male lead from an abusive environment, while here it's the opposite: the male lead is loved and doted on by those around him and is an absolute extrovert who decided to adopt the 'cold-hearted' introvert female lead and heal her, both physically and emotionally. I love this change so much! It completely changes the perspective. Another character I love to death is Mehen, the female lead's 'mom'. He's such a welcome change from the usual cold father figures who eventually become doting fathers. I mean, it's similar, but his motherly (lol) personality is very different from usual, not to mention the fact that he's not actually what would be the 'main/official dad' (a duke/king/emperor) but only a subordinate of the presumed father who took on the role of raising the female lead. His love for the fl and their emotional connection feels so real and moving! Father-daughter relationships in this kind of manhwas are almost always more comedic and stereotyped, if you know what I mean? I think this is the only one like this other than My Daddy Hides His Powers, my absolute favorite story of this genre. ALSO, another thing I love is how the female lead's previous life and traumas aren't just brushed off like most authors tend to do. Here, her previous life has a clear impact on her current mental health, and the story will probably focus on her gradually overcoming it. This is another aspect that I only found in very few stories, and it's one of my favorite tropes ever! I wasn't expecting much but this manhwa really has all I usually ask for in a rofan with a child mc, I'm so sad I can't go binge-read the novel raws as it's still ongoing
This will be very long, brace yourselves...
