I tried to read the first chapter but turned off by the PT's unprofessionalism - didn't he basically sexually harasses a client who paid for his professional service? It's my personal pet-peeves.
Is the PT supposed to be the OTP? I kinda curious because the rating is high, but if the seme keeps being an a**hole then maybe it's not for me. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

Lol I know, I read a totally hardcore hentai sometimes too but they don't have plots or character development which I'm currently looking for. My question is whether this particular manhwa have good plot/char development to redeem the seme's unprofessional attitude in the beginning.
Smutty BLs and good plots/character development can exist in the same manhwa. Is this one of them?

Okay so you're gonna receive some hate because people are obsessed with that character, but yes you're right, he did basically sexually harass him and used his weakness for his own advantage with the excuse that he was helping him, like I said people on this website are obsessed and crazy over the PT so... idk they choose to ignore that but don't let that get to ya, you're right.
Also this story is pretty underwhelming so far, nothing really happened and tbh none of the characters are particularly likeable, mc is too naive and sort of has a weird/ pointless motive, the pt is a pretty basic/ standard (boring) guy and the second love interest is your typical mischievous and cool dude who plays hard to get- nothing impressive or that interesting, it's a smutt story with a hint of conflict and romance to keep people interested. I'd say that reading it isn't a priority but if you want something to casually read then yeah, go for it.

Thank you for answering :)
Yeah, I agree there's a lot of jerky characters in a lot of this type of manhwa as if its a requirement. Although my gripe was the client relationship rather than the harassment itself if that makes sense. If they can separate personal & professional time properly, then it's ok for me.

Thanks for your thorough answer :D Internet points are meaningless, so no problem at all if people dislike my question. I did ask it because I'm genuinely curious if the story is so good I should leave my personal gripe on the door so to speak.
Based on your answer I probably will leave this one alone for now, and maybe check it out again once it's completed. Thanks again!

The plot is too convoluted for no reason with a lot of holes. For the main part, she acted too brazen for a maid, like she shows zero politeness to the person who's supposed to be her employer.
Why did the Archduke so quickly to assume she's an assassin just because she knocked the glass, and where was the supposed FL in all that riot when the wine she brought is proven to be poisoned?

The original FL is a saintess. So she's supported by both church and emperor. It wouldn't be wise to punish her without exposing her crime to all of the country. If he went to the court with just one evidence no one would believed him because his words against her words. And no one would accepted the testimony of servants because they are not noble. So Duke needs more solid evidence.

If I want to read the novel, can I read from chapter 154 like the other commenter said without missing anything important or should I read from the beginning?

Tbh you won't miss out on anything major or important if you read from chapter 154, but now cuz i'm a big fan of the LN i would always recommend to read it from the beginning, there are some details that isn't included in the manhwa, so it's kinda up to yourself if you want the full enjoyment of reading it from the beginning or jumping in where the manhwa is atm.
Imo i got a better understanding of Jin-Woo as a person reading the LN, and i understood everything that happened around him, because it's told in more details combared to the manhwa.
^^
So the MC must have a brother or sister right? Strange that it wasn't mentioned.
I'm rooting for the Prince to be the ML! Woot!
