i pushed off reading this (this has been in my reading list for days until now) because some of the comments really put me off. i read that the fl was annoying and selfish and other things that i wouldn't normally be able to tolerate while reading so i didn't touch this until now.
but reading it (im still on ch 28), that wasn't the case at all.
i was so mad at the comments that ive read before, calling her selfish and such for treating her child like that. but who can actually blame her for what happened to her?
yes, both of them married out of convenience, or at least that's what the fl thought. her husband seemed to have genuine feelings for her but he sure as well DID NOT conveyed it properly. yeah, sure you like her, you want her, you treasure her, BUT DOES SHE KNOW THAT? nope. she doesn't.
all this time she was doing things for others, none for herself. (this is why i ws so mad at the comments saying she was selfish) she thought she'll finally be happy now that she's married and has a child, but mind you that bearing a child is not a walk in the park. THAT and she experienced a lot of mourning, stress and anxiety which is already too much for a pregnant lady like her. she experienced all of that WITHOUT her husband with her.
i cant even imagine how hard it is to go through THAT kind of experience, thinking you can lean on someone but when you need them they're not there??? not only that, when her husband was gone, she was being treated like an outsider, like a stranger—bet they even treat their guests better than that.
then she bear a child and suddenly she's being told "your body isn't yours anymore" (or something like that) LIKEEE she was just their just to produce an heir and she wasn't needed anymore. who would stay sane after all of that??
and now she has to take care of a child. she's still young herself but has to carry all of that burden with her. she felt like that because she was unstable, she was clearly not doing ok mentally and instead of helping her, she was treated like a crazy woman. literally everyone in that household drove her mad. i wouldn't even be surprised if she was slowly poisoned by a servant inside, thinking she wasn't any good to be the duchess anymore. sigh.
i feel so bad for her.

I agree!! I was reluctant to read it cause the comments were like 'FL is selfish', i was so mad at people after i read the webtoon. She isn't selfish at all. Her story made me so sad. She had to go through so much and when she needed her husband most, he wasn't there. The vassals continued to ignore her. I am actually mad at her husband. Like dude, you saying "now you're pretending to be a mother" have you ever tried to understand her. It's his own fault that he didn't convey his feelings properly. Why blame the FL. I get she wasn't being a good mother but that's exactly why she came back in time. And there was reason behind her behavior too. She knew her mistakes so was trying her best to be a better mom after she came back. She was so depressed during her pregnancy. I feel so bad for her.

i really thought she would be like those female leads who acts annoying and selfishly because of the comments, but i read the story description and thought maybe this was different and it was!! i don't like everyone just jumped go a conclusion that she's bad when it fact i can very much empathize with her.

i tried to translate chapter 11, someone provided chinese and Japanese raws in the comments. but i can barely understand mandarin and i have no clue about japanese but i can clean the raws and typeset!!
soooo if you can translate japanese or chinese, or if you know anyone, im available!!
that is... if the tl group abandoned this, but the last update was nov 2020 so i'll assume they did. i just want to read the rest ;-;

i really liked the ending before the epilogue(?) where kyungsoo thought he'll never be happy as long as yule is with him. i was satisfied with that closure, i think it's fitting with the whole theme of the story.
like,, he didn't exactly end up with yule but he's still there and lingering with him. i mean, considering what happened between them, it was never meant to end up on a happy note. it was kind of tragic, yes, but it's befitting.
so yeah, I'll pretend ch. 73 didn't exist lmao.
but yeah it's soooo sososo good. i was so happy when the author said they wanted to make yule the most evil he could ever get, authors reaching their goals with their stories and characters for me are *chef's kiss*
besides that, i was glad the author also didn't shy away from character flaws and went crazy with the storyline, good for them!! i mean, i was expecting the worst but still managed to get surprised. now that's a good story.
dhajsjs gaaaahh ive been avoiding this for so long, i kinda regret not getting to it sooner

IMMACULATE!!!
ehem. its nearly 5 am and i just finished binging this. but im freaking in love!!! the story telling, the delivery, the dialogues, the panels, THE ART!!
im just gonna rant here because i won't be able to sleep if i just left thiis with me but i was hoping we would get to see jiwook being thrown in prison or something like that. it pains me to think what the real siwon went through because of his own twin brother. to a point where he felt content and relieved that he's finally dying. the part of that story wasn't really touched and im so heartbroken for the original siwon.
it sucks because i understand the sibling rivalry, but i was in siwon's shoes instead. or must i say that my older sister just really hated me and i grew up knowing that she'd rather have anyone but me as a sibling?? like,, that wasn't even that /bad/ (we're okay now cuz we're all adults but i still feel awkward hanging around her, i guess that kind of relationship isn't easily fixed) but it really did fuck me up in terms of how i handle personal relationships with other people. so i cant even imagine how it was for the og siwon to deal with such toxic brother.
aaaaa it really hurts hdaksjsjsh anyways!! aside from that, it's a really good read. im so glad i decided to click on this

i actually read the novel long before and i knew there was a manhua, just couldn't get myself to read it because you know... PAIN
but i think the manhua came with a punch with the overall atmosphere. the art fits the theme of the story so much. though for me, the novel hits like a whole eight wheeler truck.
it's the like... multiplying the heart ache you feel while reading this by ten while you're suspended in midair and with every clench in your heart, you're dropped a thousand feet from above.
its fun :))))))))) *smiling through the tears*

the fact that i see ppl being downright disrespectful to the artist and their work while reading on an ILLEGAL SITE??? uhmmm.... are you okay? is anything good at home??

Yeah i agree they are even literally complaining about the plot but they can't even make a good plot themselves they just keep complaining here about the rape and can't even tell it on the original site lol the illegal readers are much more demanding than the people reading it on legal site. I totally compared comments here and there but reading comments here are useless and just hypocrite.

(since i cant reply to that person who called me a hypocrite. honey, what happened? come on.)
uhm you know the author literally won't see their comments right?? so what's the use of their opinions? if they want to say something, tell it to the author on the official site.
do not cry here. it's useless lmao.
besides, when did it even become about me reading here. at least i know my place, and i know that complaining here won't change anything. I KNOW IM READING AT AN ILLEGAL WEBSITE.
least yall can do is read or not read at all. don't like it? then stop reading. you're not inclined to continue and you're not entitled to tell the author what to do or what not to do.
sure, voice out your so called opinion here but yall know it's useless, right? right. since the author won't see it. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
at the end of the day, this book remains FICTION. FICTION THAT DOESN'T EQUATE TO REALITY. being mad at the content is a waste of energy. use that energy in something that's actually worth your while.

thanks bb ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ I usually ignore id*ots like this one but when I skimmed their original post I laughed at how st*pid they sounded. They are like “wahh you’re criticizing my favorite rapist character, and I’m illogically going to try to make it seem like you’re being disrespectful (lmao tf, aren’t we all pirating here?) because I can’t handle other people having different opinions from me wahhh” basically lol

can you even read? im honestly concerned about your reading comprehension honey. i said yall's "criticism" is useless here unless you go tell that to the author to the ACTUAL site where they upload the ACTUAL work.
first of all. YOU CAME HERE YOURSELF. and you're telling me to pack it up?? BOI WHAT EVEN—
and when tf did i even say that???? i wrote that whole paragraph telling your opinion doesn't matter HERE because it's an illegal website and YOU CAME UP WITH THAT?
i didn't even express my opinion about any characters in this story, NONE AT ALL IN ALL OF MY REPLIES. and somewhat, magically, you know i have one. STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH OMG.
have fun "discussing the truth" with your friends. cuz yall always right, right?? preaching about expressing their opinions but apparently mine's sounded so stupid, it burst your bulging veins. keep yelling at the wall, honey. drain that energy and rethink your whole life please. :)
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Yeah i totally agree with you their reading comprehension are so slow hahahaha they even complain not reading the whole story subtly, they just complain not re reading the whole story 2 or 3 times. Now who is the immature one I vasically think them. Calling dojin a rapist When basically Bj alex, yohan and 99 others did the same way too. Such hypocrite people.
i.... i just had a thought while reading this... if this were to become a kdrama.... kim seokjin.... would be perfect.... to act as deokhoo...... omg..... why am i doing this to myself....
Lmao I like how you volunteered Jin for the role, the man needs someone
I kinda think JK would fit too. because gamer and all the stuff he asked to take home and probably pilling up some corner of his house. PLuss seokjin will cry if his room is in the state of chaos. ps. Bearded Jin looks Dangerously hot
i thought about the messy room part as well shaksjsh but yeah, jungkook fits the character too! T^T
