since they obvs intended for the white haired dude to be ML, i was hoping it was "scheming charismatic characters join hands to manipulate political intrigue to their morally ambiguous benefits"
turns out it was just some typical egotistic dude who treats MC like trash. (up to chapter 22)
the ONLY way this plot can be redeemed is if MC somehow schemes and succeeds in a bit of betrayal to squash his inflated ego- with no doubt or hesitation. like, ok, we've established he's not a decent person. but if MC ends up falling for him and all that conflicted feelings bullshit despite everything, i'm dropping this.
i'd rather she get even, just to level out the playing field. it'd be a hell of a lot more interesting to read about two people who cooperate just enough for the sake of survival but, if given the chance, would tear the other person's throat out.
Looks like our girl isn't going down without a fight. I'm hoping for a good love-hate rivalry as well.
also i knew i wasn't imagining it when i got soft BL vibes fr the 1st couple chapters
best of luck to the uke who's digging his own grave loool
ML's gonna be all "??? wh-??? my dear sweet unrequited love of my life??? could it be he has actually loved me back all this time too and was just too shy so he had to do this roundabout method to show me his feelings when he thinks i'm unaware? A'IGHT TIME TO CONSUMMATE THIS MARRIAGE"
i wonder if someone with a similar face would come along though. for some 'o that sweet, sweet jealousy trope so like, yuki can finally realize his own feelings & that ryouji loves him wholeheartedly now, not just his face
move over 'i'm in lesbians with you', the new phrase is 'i have a fetish for you'
also hosogai is such a dorky sunshine boy, i want more extra content of himmmm
that was my exact same reaction lol
anw still glad i get some english translations instead of pure raws
either way i'm just gonna read it again
her dorky family, the overly attached duke, the tsundere mother in law... they're all so precious jfc
i'm willing to bet ML's guests in the wedding are gonna have some hilarious character reveals too. the way she looked apathetic but nabbed that bouquet like a shark ffkfkfkskdjg
even miles- haven't met the trash ex fiancee yet but he already got a target on his back unknowingly set up by the MC lmao. it's gonna be funny af when the ML meets him
before ch 20, everyone: MC x ML is so cute
after ch20-21: ML WHO??? WE NEED MORE MC x MOTHER IN LAW STAT
even years later after its conception, i see a clenched fist in close up on a single panel, i think of it automatically
