There's one thing about this story that bothers me in particular (aside from the ML's last name almost being "wrinkle") and that's the fact that Ash buys her in the beginning.
I understand that he just wants to ensure her freedom and safety, but his manner of doing so just perpetuates the problem.
Her ex-husband learned NOTHING, except that his cruelty, selfishness and unempathetic actions will eventually be rewarded.
He absused his wife for years and then sold her to the highest bidder, leaving her to potentially suffer hell all over again, yet he gets away scot free. Scot free AND rich.
Ig it's entirely realistic, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Shit like that happens all the time in real life, so it kinda sucks to see it in fiction too. Idk

Oh boy, Ch. 41 was the final straw for me and I'm gonna drop this now.
I know lots of people dream about a grand, fateful love - "the one" that will make us happy - but stubbornly clinging on to the first person you fell in love with, like Linox does, is not healthy.
If you need to kidnap someone in order for them to spend time with you, you need to let go - not actually through with the kidnapping.
Go see a mental health professional, son. This ain't the way.
As for Amy, goooooooood...! I just wanna smack her.
No one gets to decide what makes someone else happy. Linox told her over and over what would make him happy, yet she refuses to listen and stubbornly clings on to the notion that she knows his needs and wants better than himself. Which is stupid and arrogant.
When she doesn't listen to him, her "self-sacrifice" just comes across as a shallow attempt at playing matyr in order to make herself feel better, and I can't stand it.
The author clearly wanted a dramatic love story, but with each new complication I just get more of the feeling that these two shouldn't be together.
If you wanna draw out a love story that's not very interesting on its own, it usually works better to let the surroundings and/or circumstances be the separating factor, rather than the character's stupidity.
At least that's my opinion.

I already don't like the premise...
I've read enough stories about FL's who were neglected and/or abused bc of their thoughtless husbands, to know what's coming.
It will probably be revealed that the ML loved the FL all along, but some misunderstanding or trauma caused him to act cold towards her. But I call BULLSHIT on those excuses.
Bc the "misunderstanding" is never the root of the problem, that caused the first timeline to end in tragedy. No, the reason is that the ML didn't realise that his position as a man, noble, leader and husband is one of privilege. His actions forms the basis for his wife's life; whether she will be respected or disregarded, be cherished or neglected, be served or spend her life in servitude.
He has no regard or compassion for his wife's feelings or circumstance.
If, in the first timeline, he had just spent a minute to think about how his words sound or how his actions can be interpreted by her and others, she wouldn't have had to experience the abuse and neglect in the first place.
One could argue that he simply didn't know how his actions affected her and that he didn't have the sense to understand or predict it. But even that is an empty excuse, bc he could've found out if he simply asked her, spent time with her or checked up on her. Just ONCE during their TEN years together.
Imo, there are no excuses for his behaviour. His wife was completely at his mercy and as a man of privilege, HE SHOULD KNOW THAT. Even if he lacked common sense and empathy, that much should be obvious. Yet he still spoke and acted like he did and made his wife MISERABLE.
I think it's great that our FL gets a second chance - she deserves it. But he doesn't.
The fact that she has to go through hell, be executed and DIE, return to the past and then SHE has to do the work of two people to fix their communication problems, so they won't both die or live in misery, is just infuriating.
If she has to make those sacrifices and then spend the effort to teach him how to, maybe, become a decent husband, it just means that he wasn't worth it in the first place.
Run away from that bastard, please. He doesn't deserve you.

The premise for the plot is kinda dubious, but my god the smut is SO hot and the art is so pretty!
And its so refreshing to read smut where the FL is confident in her body and sexuality, instead of the meek and shy FL's who are always paired up with some possessive and misogynistic ML.
We stan a confident and sexy woman! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Why do they always have to know each other from somewhere in the past? What's wrong with meeting new people?
I wonder what cliché they are going for, then. Childhood friends that got separated? Old classmates where one of them had a crush on the other? An incident where they met in passing and the FL saved the ML in some way, or gave him some "life changing" advice?
Argh! Is it really too much to ask for a bit of originality in your smut manga?! Is it???
Lol, JK. Ofc it ain't gonna be original. It's a smut.
