I didn't have high expectations for this story since the premise was ambitious despite being only 30 chapters long - I didn't think anything was going to be fleshed out.
However, I was a little taken by how dumb the female lead is. She's arrogant and blase about many things which leads to a domino effect. First, she lets a small slither of evil escape which sets the plot in motion and was a seriously illogical thing to do. Then, despite being a whole-ass angel and I'm assuming knowing human nature (esp since it's explained they can read emotions and whatnot well), she gives the ML's abusive father a fuckton of cash and is thoroughly surprised he's gone to gamble it. A similar thing happened when the ML is placed in the orphanage, she's still surprised about the neglect and abuse there.
Let's not even bother getting into her lacking of planning to make sure he stays "normal" and all of her actions that contradicts that goal. Let's not even talk about their lack of chemistry - her liking him out of nowhere was so manufactured.
Alright, since I got that out of the way, I did enjoy the ending and appreciated that everything came full circle. A 6.5/10 reading

Totally fangirling over Marceau and his wife's story. Find yourself a man who has loved you since he was a boy and decided to move the heavens and the earth to be by your side.
I'm also VERY glad to see that they have such a loving relationship despite the time period and setting, including her parents as well.

im assuming theres some sort of background lore us readers aren't in the know of yet regarding the ml having unrequited love for her for a whole ass decade, and she DID agree to the whole bet thing... but i feel a little ick about this whole situation, esp since she doesn't wanna get involved with royals for politics and prophecy sake - i wish they came together in a different way.
Can we get a shout out for her father? Every woman's fantasy.
