i’ve had this manga stuck in my mind for days now and i can’t remember the title but i want to reread it so bad. does anyone know the name of the manga i'm thinking of or have the link? the plot: basically the fl from a wealthy privileged family gets betrayed and sold by her (some paternal figure) to an island or something or assassins which she doesn’t find out until late in the story to become a prostitute or killed (for some reason i forgot that had to do with power and succession in her family). she meets the ml and he saves or and she like becomes his wife? i think. and she tries to convince him to help her escape and get off the island (which he does and doesn’t/leading her on/lying to her/but then actually trying to save her/almost dying/etc. i loved their dynamic and the art of the story alongside the stories of all the side characters but now that i’m trying to reread this manga i literally can’t find it anywhere in my lists so im cooked

any strong smart overpowered fl recs? i need to recover from some of these manhwas
