I am actually quite annoyed at how the Queen of Heart (MC) loss her autonomy over her own body simply so that the plot can move along. I get that she can't control situations, however, to the point that she also can't control her mouth / speech, that is a different situation entirely. Quite exasperating really. It made the story felt like a program instead of free will. I want her to act like her true self instead of a 'program'.

Must be SO HARD to be present in the FIRST & ONLY ONE happy day in your sister's entire 18 years of miserable life which you had abandoned..
He cannot make time for only one day.. You are not her brother, you are Claudian's brother.
Sad part is, he was away in the academy to study & be heir to Crescente Duchy. He returned only for a short while, then when everything blows over, he left the Crescente Duchy for Count Kenneth Relampago (manage business) and Rudolph (be the heir). What the fuck you go to school & left your sister to fend for herself for so long for?? Mother... To be completely honest, you went to school only to fool around with Ramona and Claudian anyway.
Theo, you can go to hell. If she dies, don't come to her funeral. You haven't earned the right to.

Long story short, I dropped this at Chapter 12. So, she broke out of her forced detainment to save this red eyed commoner guy about to be framed in noble court for some crime he didn't commit. Basically, she got no brain to protect anybody as she directly accused the black haired main villain (I'm guessing) of the crime WITHOUT any solid evidence but only HER TESTIMONY. By which, of course, backfired as the court took it as 'hearsay'..
*Insert a really, really heavy disappointed sigh here*
She is as brainless as her shoeless feet in court.

That was really refreshing. In fact, I wish revenge arc on that dreadful Koner / Hidden Saint girl could have been longer and more horrifying. Too many times, bad deeds go unpunished because when they reincarnated, all the bad people deflected to say that they haven't done the bad deeds yet in this life, or those were all somebody else's fault.. Whereas the Dragon's bride had to maintain her sanity and memories all through four lives worth of torture and death with no mercy given. And yet, people expect her to be merciful to only one life worth of torture and punishment doled out to all five perpertrators? I couldn't care less about them to be frank. I am just ecstatic about this refreshing story for a change.

There are a lot of extramarital affairs in here.. I mean, at every turn .. My grievance lied with three points..
1. Lexi and Rakias had to start their relationship as extramarital affairs. Quite unfortunate.. (I guess I am a pretty possessive person because I ABSOLUTELY ABHORS CHEATING.)
2. Lexi had to serve Kleio in bed throughout hee entire revenge plans, also while sleeping with Rakias on the side. Ew.
3. Kind of sad Jeremi and Emiliana (actually kind and upright characters) turned out that way i.e. had to be framed and executed.
However, on a positive side, this story is indeed one of a kind.
Girls love, boys love, straight love, unrequited love, no love, boy in girl clothes, girl in boy clothes, and even tragedy love are in here. Real gender bender.
