whys this rated so high tf

daym, tell me u havent read it without tellin me u havent read it immaa sumarize it for u a lil bit if u havent read it ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
thi gonna be a pretty long yap, u probly read it or just say aint read allat lmao.
basically ML reach out to FL bc he was in a blackmail relationship w his current wife, who is absolute psycho. he cant kill her nor harm her bc her reputation and influence is EVERYWHERE esp on social world, all he can do rn is bringing FL basically a FAKE concubine or mistress so she will backdown from this marriage on her own, since ML cant divorce her without a reason.
this gonna be a hot take, but when its a trope where FL in TOXIC relationship u probly cheer on her to escape w another male lead, so yea just reverse it.
ml never loved the duchess, he want divorce peacfully but the duchess aint want it. he take the last resort by having fake mistress so she could back down on her own and realize he will never love her. welp instead of backing down the duchess abuse sally to death.
ppl will say why cheat when u can divorce? what IF the case like this, the other one did not want a divorce, theres no love, only blackmailing and shit pretty much toxic relationship, cant kill nor harm other person bc u probly have moral ofc, then are u supposed to stay?

oh okay thank you, I read the first few chapters and it was leading onto something else. Also, from what I gathered from this ted talk is that the ml using another woman as a pawn in his escape plan isn’t strategic it’s honestly cowardly. You don’t fake a mistress just because you want a “peaceful” divorce, you fake loyalty while pulling strings behind the scenes to cut off her influence and ruin her social standing, and then use that to divorce her. I think the ml is quite infuriating and stupid, I hate manhwas where authors put women against each other thats all.

can someone recommend something similar to this the more angst the better please

no wayy the angst in that one is only good up until the 6th chapter, the angst does NOT compare,,, the whole manhwa just goes downhill and i had to drop it cuz the fl is just pitiful but not sympathetic, she doesn’t even get a satisfying or good ending in my opinion, its just hella mid.
I think there’s better angsty ones like May The Holy One Come, my beloved oppressor, My Husband Who Hates Me Has Lost His Memories.
wait so is he never getting his staff back?
He will
