y'all in the comments need to stop complaining about him being a psychopath/jerk/cheater whatever. this is a SEINEN NOT A SHOUJO. it's not your typical high school romance. yoshino doesn't even like him like that, she has no feelings for him. i think you're all forgetting that they are in an arranged marriage. SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WHAT HE DOES W OTHER GIRLS. all of the characters in this manga are crazy, they all have their problems. it's catered towards mature audiences. if you're that bothered by the fact that kirishima is the ML then go read a mf shoujo.
( p.s. / i love shouma but isn't it also shown that he sleeps w girls as well??? i forgot what chapter or i think it was one of the extras but he was shown in a girls bedroom the morning after they had sex like ya'll c'mon)
SPOILER (⊙…⊙ )
it makes me sad that people are already shitting on the ml but it's understandable since this is the start lol i mean i was like that too when i first started reading the novel
buuuuuut then i read some spoilers and found out that his daughter was actually a result of him being raped by his previous wife that's why he doesn't like touching women :((( that's also why he can't love/dote on his daughter bc of his trauma
O.o some good old representation I see. That specific situation is rarely represented in books, although I've been seeing it slightly more often. Women have all the resources in the world for when something like that happens to them, but men really don't get much, if any help in his regard. I hope he ends up overcoming his trauma, not for MC and their relationship, but for himself and his happiness.

i have spoilers!!! if anyone wants to know anything feel free to ask!!! (●'◡'●)ノ
SPOILERS
oooo honey that man gets way worse, he becomes like creepily obsessed w juvel, like in his inner monologues he's always thinking about how she's his possession, thinks about capturing her and shutting her away from anyone. he's bad news PERIOD. there's a part where her dad goes over to mikhail's house and warns him not to bother her anymore and guess what the mf does, he goes full on yandere and says shit like he's gonna kill her dad so that way he can have her to himself. this is also a big SPOILER lol but later on in the story once juvel and max confirm their relationship to the public, once again mikhail starts w his bs again about killing max (not like he ever had a chance lmao)
okay so this is a pretty big plot spoiler for like the whole story lol so if you still want to read continue
SPOILER
so this juvel is actually the same person as the one she read in the 'novel', she's had three lives. the first one was when she killed herself, the second one was when she was a normal korean, and her third one is the present timeline.
so her dad was actually the one that let her have a second chance at life.
when he found out she killed herself, he went on a total rampage and killed everyone, including the emperor.
if you remember the pendant that she was trying to give him back (i'm not sure which chapters but you know which one i'm talking about) that's what helped him give her another chance to live.
the pendant grants you one wish at the cost of sacrificing yourself, and so he used it to give her another chance to live and she was able to live a new life in korea
she will find all of this out later on in the story bc they do talk about it to each other.
wow that was really long lmao, hopefully you can understand ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
so hello novel reader here! i just want to let all the new readers here know that, yes there are a lot of misunderstandings in this story, but that's what moves the plot forward. you will see why in later chapters if you choose to continue reading. if you don't like these types of stories then this isn't the manhwa for you. i only say this because a lot of people are already complaining about that. enjoy reading! (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
my boy is finally gonna make an appearance next chapter! SUPER EXCITED ヾ(☆▽☆)
