AGH FUCK IT'S ONE OF THOSE STORIES, I TELL YOU!! IT GETS YOU HOOKED!!
I started reasing this only because of the MC (the art is so-so becausw my standard is too picky) and then the next thing I know, I'm invested in the story. The delivery is *faint, chef's kiss* and the characters don't feel flat. There are some cloche but the depth of both the plot and the characters is amazing and their situations are realistic in approach. The political schemes keeps me on my toes. And of course, the romance is... ugh! Just when I thought the ML can be redeemable, BAM, he becomes a piece of shit. I've lost it many times, I've cursed him too much, but I can't help reading the next chapter.
SOMEONE SAVE ME AHHHH.

I should have stopped at the lake scene and started marinating it again.
Anyway, spoiler for ramona—
Ramona who was the "original lover" isn't a bad person. She was jealous of Tia but never act upon it. In the end she even got motivated by being around Tia and wanted to take over the Brown family after seeing Tia, as a female, can take over the Lombardi family. Her previous goal was to become a knight for the imperial family, but it changed to becoming the head of the Brown family in order to also help side with the Lombardi.

You see I like this. Because it shows that women's main goal in life, and not to sabotage themselves, is to succeed rather than sabotage themselves with love. Sadly in real life, a lot of women sabotage themselves for love. Whether it's having a kid or keep Clinging On to somebody that doesn't care about them or jealousy or acting out, those are things I think that sabotage them in real life. But here? I love that she has a head on her shoulders and they both do. Love is secondary, Revenge and success is what comes first. I want to see more of this. I hate it to see game of thrones, create queens that were emotionally unstable, here you can see Queens with a good head on their shoulders
That bitchass better get tf out of the story or I'll Perro de Presa Canario my way to her apartment.
