omg pls do!! i can't wait for them to love each other with no bounds （/TДT)/
Please! I am on the edge of my seat wondering, and please tell me his reaction!
pls say when she reveals it cause aufhhbggggghhh
please spoil it for me i’ve tried reading the book but i didn’t like how riftan was portrayed :(
spoil me everything pls
how did they portray him?
Like a damn cold criminal (if I remember correctly)
from the first chapter he comes off strong. maxi kept telling him no she didn’t want to have sex but riftan insisted anyways. i just didn’t like it at all because he isn’t like that in the manhwa.
So this happens around chapter 171, which is away after what we're reading now. Riftan walks in Maxi's father beating and "punishing" her. he freaks out and starts beating the shit out of the duke, he broke his jaw and nearly kill him but Elliot and Ursiline stop him.
then he and Maxi will have a long waited conversation, he asks Maxi how often the duke beat her and she confesses since she was 8 years old and she started stuttering.
then he asks her why didn't she tell him about it because if he knew he would have protected her and Maxi says: because I liked how you treated me like I was special, you're the last person I wanted to see me this way but I was truly nothing...
and then Riftan confesses that he had Maxi in his heart for a long time even before she knew he existed and says (this is one of my favourite lines from him) as if my heart no longer belongs to me, it ceased to be mine the moment I met you.. how could you think you’re nothing? How could you be nothing?
what?? nooo
Riftan in the books is similar to the webtoon I like the book version a lot more because he's super sweet in the smut scenes and he gets better and better.
???? in the first chapter he forced himself while maxi kept saying no????? have i read the wrong novel?
if you're referring to the honeymoon scene he asked her if she wants it. and she doesn't say no (and also spoiler: the reason Riftan was not really romantic that night was that the duke imprison his father and threaten to hang him as a criminal unless he marries Maxi and refuse to let him go until Riftan and Maxi consummate). and he always makes sure she wants it too.
anyway, the webtoon is based on the novel and the characters are portrayed the same way. so give it another chance you might like it!
let me know if you want me to spoil anything else! I read the novel at least 10 times lol.
also sorry if there are any grammatical issues english is not my first language
before they begin he says speak if you want me to dress and leave because I can't stop if we begin, and then he asks her again if she wants him to leave. anyway, I agree the first chapter was not ideal but I don't think he forced himself since he did ask if she want him to leave, also they were both in a really bad situation. I won't judge Riftan based on the first few chapters..
you’re tempting me to give it another chance but that first chapter really threw me off guard because i love riftan so much i didn’t want to see him like that
AGHHHH thanks. sucks that it takes so long for it to happen, but i just wish maxi learns to love herself
omg yeah give it another chance, just don't judge Riftan until you reach chapters 9-10. my boy gets super defensive when he's nervous but he gets better after chapter 8.
Yeah, she will!! book 1 is about Maxi's journey and how she will actually start living and getting healed. in book 2 she's more confident and she tells Riftan he was the reason she decided to change and start loving herself.
I know it might seem long but that's why the story is so beautiful and realistic.
I'm gonna spoil this for those who are interested.
First of all, there is no love triangle in this book, riftan loved Maxi waaay before they get married. Agnes has no feelings for Riftan too. they're mostly like brothers and sisters always arguing. agnes has a boyish character and speaks her mind so Maxi does overthink sometimes. but in a few chapters, she becomes more comfortable with Agnes and they will have a great time together.
in my opinion, the next few chapters are the least exciting ones, it's mostly about Maxi dealing with her inferiority complex but then the action begins and gets exciting.
for those who are wondering when will maxi tell Riftan about her past, I can also spoil it in another comment.
also guys this book is a masterpiece, if you like the webtoon go read the book it's much better!!
