I'm honestly curious as to what the manga the MC originally posted was like. I've seen stuff mistaken for shounen ai but not straight up yaoi lol
That childhood friend is actual trash. No matter how long/how well I knew a friend, I could never forgive for falsely accusing me of a crime.
I feel like this whole second blackmail arc has dragged out for way too long. Like I know this webtoon is mostly smut and is tagged that way, but at this point whenever I see smut in a chapter I get the insatiable desire to throw my phone out the window. I just want to bypass all the fucking and move on to the damn climax
I see..... It makes you feel lonely and sad about yourself and you wish you can do the same thing they are doing....... ~ You poor unfortunate soul in pain, in need ~ Don't worry because your not alone. Let us all sink deeper into the pits of darkness. ლ(´ڡ`ლ) (▰˘◡˘▰)
Tbh, I think was more invested in Nakagawa's story than I was with the actual couple. Lol I was looking for more of him in the rest of the manga
Ultimately, her choice is between Albert and the dukedom is based on what she thinks will make her happier. From the story so far, I think it makes more sense that she turned down the dukedom as it has been one of the biggest source of unhappiness so far. Sure her grandfather and a few cousins are nice and make her happy, but what everything else? Because others desire the power that comes from the dukedom, her father was estranged and she was kidnapped and almost raped. Even with her grandfather's overwhelming support, her extended family was still incredibly hostile. If she were to become heir and married to Albert, the hostility would probably get worse. Due to his experience and pedigree, they might respect her even less since they'd assume Albert was the main reason behind any success she has. Then you'd have rumors of Elijah being used by Albert to gain more power and wealth. They could clear up any rumors, but they would continue to linger about lead to even more unpleasant rumors. She probably would've been miserable if she accepted it.
On the other hand, if she were to become Albert's countess wouldn't she have a better chance at happiness? They are already her second family, the people around her respect her and her upbrining. Albert would probably let her do anything she wants (within reason) giving her an opportunity to get her dream job, a teacher.The still could be rumors there also be rumors, but Q wouldn't be neatly as malicious since she's now the Duke granddaughter. Also, she gets to stand by the side of someone who has never-ending love and respect for her. Could she regret her choice someday? Maybe but, at this point of the story, marriage is the happier choice of the two for her.
The author used a "fade to black" transition at the beginning and end to indicate that it was a flashback. A lot of manhwa tends to use this transition, but most of them keep the black background until the end. The way the flashback was presented was definitely slightly confusing especially since it spans multiple chapyer. I also sort of forgot the summary. I wonder if this is an adaptation of a novel. A lot of things that make sense in written form become confusing when drawn.
