The Dead Lover Returned as a Tyrant
Emperor with resentment ML x Miserable princess FL [9/10] The story is very simple: the princess who is an outcast in the royal family meets a man, they fell in love, and her brothers killed him. Then, five years later, he returns and takes her as a concubine, with the purpose of making her miserable, until he knows the truth and then reconsiders and understands that what she did was to protect him, so they are lovey-dovey, then revenge, then lovey-dovey again and happily ever after. First of all, Lise (FL) is such a cutie patootie, she is a little dumb indeed, but i mean, for some reason, the way she is writted like one of the purest souls and kidest heart in earth is so lovely. She has suffer a lot, being thrown away from the castle after her mothers death and a new abusive concubine and her children enter the palace, seeing how her lover and all her mother's stuff were destroyed by her siblings and being trated like a slave, it's incredible how she still has that will to live. And not only that, still worries about the people that are in worse situations, like that guard that was threataned with his little sister so he had to "incriminate" Lise and with that lose the emepror's favor, like, she didn't had any responsability to him, but saw through him and understood that she couldn't blame him, so didn't make him take accountability for that. She is so pretty and very kind, a real angel. And also Ballond/Destad (ML) is a really green flag if we took away the main reason for him to take her as his concubine. I mean, he was thrown and persecuted by his family since he was the heir and his parents were dead already, he had to have a lot of hatred in him. But thanks to Lise, to the care she took on him, the way she saved him, and also the way she loved him, he could restore that little lost soul of his; his initial gloomy face changed to a very energetic and more expressive one thanks to Lise. He had a good reason to try to take revenge on her, after all, those words really hurted him, and seeing how happy she was with the siblings that tried to kill him, well it's understandable why he would try to hurt her. Thankfully he did nothing to be sorry about. It was a relief seeing how the truth was uncovered before he made her suffer more than she already has, since he wanted to put her in a pedestal to then throw her away, thinking that she enjoyed lots of luxuries when in reality she didn't. He is a very respectful and lovely man, a very kind and pleaser to his wife, while being a tyrant towards others, i like that so much. He is really the standard, the way he tooks care of her, and also takes revenge on others for her ("killing" her step-brother and taking him to the dungeon to be torture to death since no one knows he is alive, making her step-sister a slave-criminal that takes care of pigs, making her step-mother suffer the absent of her two children, knowing well they are suffering in some place witthout nothing she could do about it), the way he protects her and puts her in the most precious place of his life, and also how Ballond dismissed all the concubines and declared that there were not going to be anymore since he obviously has now his empress, his love of his life... uff such a good man. I also liked how they visited her nanny and coachmen after so many years, and how they are still such good people, since they were the few people that actually care for her and later on for him. How they are happy to see them well, and how Lise and Ballond treat them as their parents, their family. Such a good story, yeah it may have a basic plot, but it is entertaining. Thanks to communication the problem is solved quickly, the revenge is very good, and the relationship between those two is very peaceful and full of love (so envious of them). It has some smut here and there, but i like how is mix with the story, so it's not so tiring. I also love that they ended showing us how they create a family, how happy they both are, finally having a family on their own and finally reaching the happiness they once lost. Such a cute and perfect couple <3 (plus; the brother was so hilarious, love him <3)
