I think the point is that Regan treats women badly so she is returning the favor?? Idk it unsettled me too but I decided to stop reading into it.
I don't think this is suppose to be famale empowerment, it's more like she trying to use the ml to get out of her engagement. i can agree that people might not like how she manipulates and use her family money/power to get the ml to marry her. But honestly I like the fl she seems really interested.
What chapter did you see regan treating women badly.
I can go back and look but he threw the woman to the floor, calls them sluts whores and bitches for no reason, and I feel like there were others but I’ll check.
I agree
Well, we read lots of stories about those times and about how women were forced to marry. It's part of history ( and still practiced in some countries) and also a romance story trope. This has reversed it, and I think it's fun. Ofc, I expect him to fall in love with her, that's why this is also fun, I don't think he will be miserable.
Reversed it? Are you talking about how proactive the FL is at breaking her engagement? If so, yes it does. But that is exactly my point. Her proactiveness means that she's bullying someone to marry her, kinda like how the King of Severus was previously using his country to force her to marry him. It's entirely typical of nobles, ofc, and even I am curious why I'm so angry over this but I am so yeah I think I'm gonna stop reading this. Hats off to you peeps who will continue to do so tho. Have fun~
Yes, most of the time I have trouble reading a story where the character I identify with does things that goes against my personal conscience. I suspect that is happening with you. I think, because already with this trope ,( forced marriage/contract marriage ) is something I enjoy reading because in the romance genre it's just a way to force two people together who wouldn't otherwise be together, and they fall in love in spite of it, so I can be along for the ride:) . In this case, and in the time period, she doesn't have a lot of choices to control her own fate. Even her brother smacks her around if she doesn't do what the family wants. Without judgement, I would say the ML 's life will improve when he is with her, so I don't feel sorry for him. But I understand, I hate reading stories where there is cheating, or lying, or even drug use. We all have things that aren't worth it and take it out of the fun category for us personally:)
Idk maybe because I hate the ml I think he deserves it ╮(￣^￣)╭
I mean, girl power and all but I can't stomach how she made the engagement happen. Regan OBVIOUSLY does not like her at all, and yet he's being bullied into a marriage he does not want, all for the selfishness of the FL. And she is, such self-centeredness is so appalling, nvm that she is "helping him get funds for his business". To be sure, such characteristics ARE the point of IRL nobles but dear God someone help people understand that bullying someone into marrying you is not at all what Female Empowerment should be.
