yay

honestly, I think it's good if Jerry tells Ilya his thoughts about Ilya's feelings etc. I hope nothing interrupts that. Then we can finally move on to a stage where Ilya (hopefully) starts debunking those misunderstandings.

Also that's a sweet, sweet future dream that Ilya's having. I support it.

In chapter 2 the glimpse of the newspaper ad states that his "little brother" is a snake.

I agree with the folks saying that the ML is the missing "little brother", but this does bring up some questions:

If you're a snake and you left behind a dried snake penis...
1. WHOSE dried snake penis is it?
2. Will it not cause awkwardness down the line in future if your partner sees your penis as an ingredient?

Lol.

Next question: would he love you if you were a worm?

is the king going to die and if yes, when will that happy event occur? I genuinely cannot stand him and NEED him to be gone asap. Ugh!

this is SO good! What an incredible plot, and the characterizations are so enjoyable.

Also his older version is hot af. Like gooodddaaammnn.

Dandelion: I don't know the context, but I damn well will invent one!

Eager to read the different pov, but meanwhile: I LOVE the writing, and the portrayal of the red flags all over this chapter - it's so believable because that's exactly how they can be IRL. MC thinks what he's being told is cute and romantic because 1. he's not taking what he's hearing TOO seriously, and 2. he's looking at everything through very rose tinted glasses. In reality, this is exactly the kind of conversation one goes back to wondering how the hell did they not pick up on the warning signs (moving in together quickly when one partner has much more financial security and is generally more dominant).

Anyway, I'm curious to see if the ML will develop into a red flag (I can see him becoming more controlling and possessive as well), or if it will actually be smooth sailing from here.

NOPE. You did NOTHING wrong. NOTHING. I'm an adult man and a teacher. Not only should he be MORE THAN OK with you wanting to ensure your safety, HE should be encouraging you to do so as well. As harsh as it may sound, his feelings do not matter when it comes to your safety. You are absolutely correct and should aggressively disregard any of the ......

between "unky" and "the misunderstanding is getting swollen", i don't even know for how much longer I can hang on The art is good, and the story is nice! And honestly the translation isn't the WORST, just has some funny phrases that I can't get over.

you picked the prince over THAT guy?? The guy who was into you when you had nothing?? PLS, GIRL.

I am worried about his sidekick though. I hope she won't be another female character inserted just to be the villain.

So 3 people have died after she had met them one-on-one? No way the cops aren't after her. She carves 5 figures but gets arrested before she manages to do the 6th. She's held in jail pending investigation, but when the cop goes to check on her in the morning, all he sees is a small wooden figure that resembles the girl: she couldn't carve the 5th ......
pls

All I want is for Lexi to be happy.

...if all those nobles keep hating on thisbe after all this, I will have to take a break from reading this. they make me so mad. I guess that's why I can't hate on the ML (at least for now): no matter what bs he's up to, at least he's the one who is not just consistently on FL's side, but always lets her know that he's on her side.

jfc who gave the village idiot access to the internet again??? I thought we agreed not to do that!

he... he was your dog literally 1 minute ago aren't you adapting a bit TOO quickly??

hmm

usually i read manhwa for the romance, but honestly I wish this one doesn't have a ML. I feel like her achieving a peaceful life with her sons and without the emperor would be already amazing enough, and I fear the inclusion of a ML would ruin this.

Here's my ultimate favourite that fits the criteria: https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/watashitachi_no_shiawase_na_jikan/ I read it years ago, then lost track of it but couldn't forget about it. It's so beautiful.
Ugh
