Sure the male lead is not a catch either but she's leaving him no choice. She orchestrated everything and made him the bad guy (sure he doesn't have a stellar reputation but in this case, everything was a lie). And she's doing all of this because of Hector. Does Hector still even want her? She can only pine for him from afar. And if she does get tgt with Hector while married and gets discovered, won't Hector get executed? Because how can they explain their relationship? She's the king's daughter-in-law, Hector getting it on with her is an insult to the royal reputation. And if she says her relationship with Hector is real, then her family's reputation will be ruined (since she cheated on the king's son, bastard or not). So obvs her father, the duke would accuse Hector of seducing her and Hector will die. This is assuming she does get tgt with him.(〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

But if Hector doesn't want her anymore, then she can only love him from afar. She's dooming her life to misery (which is supposed to be her anti goal). She even told Regan she doesn't expect love from him and he can continue to fuck around. And if he does fuck around, then some noble ladies will underestimate her since she can't even keep her man from straying. Some will feel sorry for her but in the end, it's not great for either of their reputations. Her social life will be ruined since the noble ladies won't think highly of her. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍

And speaking of reputations, since Regan is marrying a lady from a ducal house, he will likely need to end or limit his nightime activities. He will hate her more for it. Best start for a short marriage: hate your spouse.

Also, to clarify, the king she was supposed to marry was only in his early thirties (see ch. 1), so he's not some old guy but he does have concubines since he has daughters. I actually think the Severus king loved her since he didn't put up much of a fight and even said he respected Ingrid's wishes (she sent a different letter to the Severus king). She only wanted to get married to Regan because of his status. Because eventually, she WILL need to get married, so she wanted it to be on her terms (not her family's). She wanted someone her family can't control or use.

She did all this effort and still her family's reputation has taken a hit cuz they were associated with Regan. I actually think Edwin's advice was sound. She should have just ran away. She should have broken off with the severus king and sent him a letter about her commoner lover or smth, she's a great liar she can conjure some ideas, and then run away and hide for a while. She can come back and hide her identity or smth and get tgt with Hector then. The damage to her family's reputation would more or less be the same: broken engagement and then running away vs getting involved with playboy while engaged to the severus king resulting to a broken engagament with said king. #-.-)

And the thing that cemented my dislike for her is on the latest chap, 13. She made it sound like he raped her even though nothing happened. She keeps saying it's gonna be a good deal from him but she did it with force. He can't say no. And she WON'T take no for an answer all because for HECTOR. It better not be all for a guy or my shit's gonna explode. I'm all for cunning and strong female leads but what did Regan Do to her? NOTHING! He was just unlucky to be born as a king's bastard and thus became her target.
- - -
After they get married, i bet the author will stop Regan from fucking around because it would insult the ducal household. This will magically make the readers think that Regan respects their marriage when it was not so long ago that he fucked somebody else's wife. And then Ingrid will be all sad cuz Regan hates her guts and she will conveniently forget that she married him all for HEC- fucking-TOR. (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸

    Naw. He does. He slept with a woman to get her jealous, but the female lead is pretty open with his affairs. And she only want to see hector from afar. She has lost faith in true love.

    She did not marry him for hector. She marry him only to stay in this country with a man high position enough to break her marriage from the king. The ML is close to her previous fiance so a man close to her ex fiance is someone she can trust. She knows he wouldnt give her love and she does not expect that. All she wants is to stay close to her loved ones, not coerced in any situation. She did back out from the main lead in ch 13. She agreed to his 'No' because the marriage with king severus was already annulled. The only problem was ML ended up pitying her and declare he is okay with it to save her from her jackass father.

    As explained previous comments, I heard that she did try to run away once with her lover but they cant.

    So Regan just proved that he's the scum of the earth. No surprise. Her plan to get married to Regan really set her up for misery. As for ch 13, yes she accepted his 'No' but the way she phrased her sentence made it sound like something happened between them. She said she was the one morally irresponsible. Makes you think smth really did happen. At least Regan revealed that nothing really happened in ch 14.

    All she wants was to stay close to her loved ones but they're all pretty shitty tbh. Her dad especially, her older bro can still be rehabilitized. Edwin is the only one who cares for her, tho he is pretty rude too. And if being close to family was her only wish she should have just opted for a better husband even if she couldn't love him. Instead, she went for the scumbag with bad reputation. She flipped his life because of his playboy image and she thought that it couldn't get worse anyway, so what the hell, let's mess with him.

    As for running away, she did that when she was 16, young and dumb with no plan. If she did that now, with her wits and cunning, I think she could pull it off. She doesn't need to be with Hector in running away. She could just comback after some time. But yeah, she won't run cause she wants to be with her family so talking about it is pointless ( ̄∇ ̄").

    It sounds like you've read this before. Does this have a novel or smth? Do you have any other spoilers? Like who fell first? How did they confess? Do they even end up tgt?

    Also, thanks for being all civil in this comment section. I was prepared to get roasted for disliking both the characters. It's not that I hate them, but so far their actions have been very dislikable.

    There are tons of spoilers in novelupdates. I just heard that the male lead did catch feelings for her. They fulfilled marriage obligations like sleeping together. She ended up pregnant and miscarried I believe. The fl family wanted them to divorce but the male lead and female lead begged to remain married I think that this was what made this story so eye catching. The male lead promised to enter a rehab centre to end his addictions.

    About the morally irresponsible part. I understand if u see it that way but from my perspective it is just the dad not willing for her to explain. She was so flustered and he was so violent she had to admit her mistake to appease his anger so she can fully explain. It happens to me a couple of times(recently I was accused to staging a break in...it was so stressful I was on the verge of breaking down). Some people will not let you explain what went down. They had this idea you did something wrong. I did like the female lead. I said I was sorry and that calmed them down a bit because they thought I was about to confess 'the truth' when in fact I was only apologising for this incident and then proceed to explain my side if the story. Luckily the person was not violent. That is why I completely sympathize with her. Sorry for the little story. I feel refreshing to share this particular incident with you. It was so heartbreaking. I was threatened with expulsion and everything. God. I hope no one else will go through what I went through.

    Thanks for the reply. In hindsight, I can understand how the female lead got flustered, her dad already had it in his mind that smth happened and he was not open to discussion. It may also have smth to do with her upbringing, like apologizing first to not escalate the situation. I'm just glad that Regan cleared up that nothing happened between them. Also, I'm glad you got out of your situation safely ^_^

One of the better stories you can get from a harlequin. No secret babies, no crazy male leads, no dumb female leads. Unique plot conflict, not the typical *she's gold digger/ i'm a playboy*/ *i've got a past trauma type. Also has nice art.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS


didn't like the 1st volume at all. victim (uke) fell in love with his rapist (seme). seme gets forgiven cuz he had a shitty past too wtf. vol. 2 was good. this would have been rated higher if there was no rape not just becuz rape is bad but becuz there was no purpose for the rape at all. like, why was the uke raped by the seme in the first place??? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ so that they would have something to fight about??? i'm like ヽ(`Д´)ノ. the rape didn't have a purpose (i.e. psychological effect-trauma, anger/resentment about the abuse, thriller/psychological tag- are either of them S or M, or just not sane.) this wasn't that kind of manga. there are so many other triggers for the seme and uke to fight other than rape. rape was just there for the smut, nothing else. it was a useless trope and it made vol. 1 trash.

    The story is quite long and a lot happened so I'll just spoil some events and you can ask from there.

    Aria plans to seduce Oscar, the guy Mielle is to be engaged with (there families were already talking about it but there was no official engagement yet iirc).

    Aria meets the Crown Prince when he was out in town incognito investigating.

    Crown Prince thought that the woman he met in town (while he was incognito) was Mielle since Aria was wearing Mielle's dress.

    The hourglass is not a one time deal. Aria gets to keep the hourglass and she can use it once a day and turn back time 5 minutes before. Backlash is that she gets very tired and she needs to sleep longer.

    Crown Prince also has some hidden powers.

    Aria is not in anyway related to Mielle, her brother, and their father. Aria was borne from one of her mother's customers. He will be introduced after Mielle's house is ruined.

    Mielle is not the endgame villain. Another girl will be introduced. She is Oscar's sister and the Crown Prince's fiancee.

    Because of the hourglass, Aria makes contributions to her father's business. A frustrating misunderstanding occurs.

    Aria earns money for herself by investing in start-up companies. She earns a name for herself as Mr. A. Young businessmen come up to her to fund their companies cuz every company she invested in was successful.

    There's politics in the story. Royalists and anti-royalists. Crown Prince's fiancee's family is in the anti royalist faction. He's supposed to marry her so there will be power balance.

    The big reveal is when Aria attends the bday party of the evil sister lol. He came up to Aria and asked her if she really wasn't Mielle hahahaha He walked out of there.

    Preciously, he asked his aide to pretend to be a businessman and help Aria's father. When the aide went to their house he praised Mielle for being intelligent and helping her dad's business (this was the misunderstanding, it was actually Aria who did that but the dad didn't correct the aide). So the nxt time the aide came, he brought gifts for Mielle from his master. This was actually the crown prince's way of wooing Aria but hahahha he was wasting his time and money on Mielle instead.

    Aria pretended to help Mielle and she was doing it so seriously too that Mielle actually believed her. There was no doubt in Mielle's mind that Aria was deceiving. When Mielle was supposed to be beheaded, Aria did the same thing to her (like what happened in her past). She talked to Mielle (in a voice that only they could hear) and told Mielle the truth about the hourglass and everything else like how she knew about Mielle'a schemes. Mielle kind of lost it at that moment.

    Aria's grandmother was a royal (but I think it was a branch family). She later married the love of her life from another kingdom (iirc). So Aria has royal blood. Her dad was the heir to a noble family. Both grandma and dad are permanently living in another kingdom. Dad's name was Chloe. He was actually looking for Aria's mother since before but she was using a fake name when she was a prostitute (i think it was Apple/Cherry) so he did't find her
