MC is so oblivious, showing it plainly to the whole world while being completely unaware that others will figure it out from his behaviour. And his family and ML all hid from him that this is common knowledge, but man didn't suspect anything with his boyfriend coming to his home continuously for months, after which he gets permitted to live with bf. He seriously just went, 'weird, but cool', didn't think that there was even a slight possibility that the cat was out of the bag. Talk about dense
And both bf and family are working hard on enabling him staying dense forever.
yuseong did nothing wrong but catching flak for coming back. But so-a, jeez, take a hint. Who would talk that familiarly with you?
in the process of dragging it out and having everyone love the FL, the author made ein a mama's boy who's looking for his mother in his wife. For the whole world that sees that ein and karina are a good fit, the two of them have made no confirmation of their feelings and no attempts towards each other, as both of them must first and foremost love the FL.
Also the fl, she didn't discipline her child and now karina is the subject of all rumours. She is saying she won't make ein marry karina, but that just means karina becomes the butt of all the jokes coz in older days only women were ridiculed. It'll be obvious to everyone that karina has been a friend of chade's for years to the point where fl allows her child to call her sis-in-law, but when it comes to actually respecting her or stopping rumours when it comes to her, fl will turn her back on karina.
i don’t think that’s the case. She is gonna stop the rumors but she is not gonna force the children to marry each other because of them. She wants them to realize that they have feelings for each other because she knows if she forces them their friendship above all will crumble and they will hate each other even if they do like each other
become his personal janitor. She is working so hard and using all of her money so that the damned duke would buy back everything and she's left with nothing? He used the duchy, HER PROPERTY, as collateral to buy some lands he doesn't know how to get returns on?? He is an utter idiot, and her father is a selfish prick, but she is enabling them both.
The only thing I think she gains from this, from what I can guess, is a divorce. Which she could have already done on the grounds of her husband confining her to the attic and having his mistress living with him instead! I don't see this going down the path of the FL getting her revenge/ getting justice for all she is enduring.
But didn't we already have the scene where perez confessed and tia accepted? Why are we unnecessarily adding the trope of contract relationship? For manufactured drama? To leave open the possibilities of future misunderstandings? For the fl to have 20 episodes to bury her head in the sand?
Don't get me wrong, contract marriage is one of the junk-food tropes i like, if done correctly. But here it is so pointless
I guess love is not everything to marry. They both have roles within their families. I don't know
It might also be so grandpa agrees to the relation. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Did she agree? I thought it was more like Perez confessed and let her know he was actively pursuing her
I suspect its entirely a contrivance to have the fun of this trope. That the genre has dragged it to death doesnt mean a story like this isnt kinda the original setup it was made for: two people that already know and trust each other but one person is too driven and the other is too insecure to risk the relationship by confessing.
I dont mind it. The trope got popular because, when done well, its quite delicious. On that note; hey Perez, did Tia bring her own engagement ring to the negotiations or do you just permanently keep one in your pocket just in case?
While they have feelings for each other, the law of their empire is that the empress (would be tia's position in case of marriage) cannot be a matriarch (
While they have feelings for each other, the law of their empire is that the empress (would be tia's position in case of marriage) cannot be a matriarch (the position tia actually wants) due to conflict of interest. So for now, whatever feelings they have with each other is not their priority, as the title says, tia will be the matriarch in this life.
Spoiler: they'll make a way for her to be both later on, let me know if you wanna know how, it is major spoiler though
Ooooh I want to know pls!
Perez cannot change the law since it will be abuse of power, what he will do is he will threaten the emperor that he won't be accepting the position of the crown prince if he will not sign the change in law that would allow the empress to be the matriarch of her family.
At this point in the story, Astana is already revealed as a failure of a man and it would bring shame to the King if Astana will become the crown prince. And since he has a huge ego, he will accept Perez's proposal and sign the law change. This is all while the King is on his deathbed iirc since the empress will poison him.
i see your point, I guess we just haven't reached the part where they break down the contents of the contract. If the contract is not time-based, but instead about perez implementing a law allowing tia to be the matriarch for their marriage to come about, i'll be quite happy. That would be a refreshing take on the contract marriage trope
the ml is absolutely useless. Even now as he is chasing her and is remorseful, he didn't put any security on her door? That she was nearly killed the moment he took charge of her security? She was fine on her own and was caught and thrown into the prison because the ml derailed her escape. And then he takes her in and she is almost killed again. Why do you exist, ml? Charlotte is so much better
But what can we even expect from him anymore? Aunt already showed herself to be a threat when she wrecked FL’s room, and stole her medical records. He STILL did nothing.
Now he’s brought her back to house of hateful and neglectful staff with his unhinged aunt. He is just so useless
why must we have romance? And if we MUST, why do we need a 2nd ML??? The prince was great as a friend and co-conspirator, they had such a nice dynamic going. In fact, the prince being with coco would've been nicer. For once in novels i would like to see all the female characters getting paired up with the male characters, instead of having every male fall for the FL.
No bs. Authors always messing it up w the damn 2nd ml
but the FL is going out of her way to bury her head in the sand when it comes to ML's feelings, and about the fact that this is a real world. I would like to see some progress on these 2 fronts
I don’t like misunderstandings this long
Why is everyone hating the ML? The FL is awesome even with her flaws, but the ML is an undeserving and horrible man for having flaws too?
The only issue here is they both weren't making an effort to see where the other stood. They were BOTH caught up in the kind of fiance the other person OUGHT TO be, and they were both wrong.
The ML thought the FL had not much more to show other than her aristocratic nature and breeding, and after a cruel war he wanted a loving family, which he wasn't sure he would get with her.
The FL thought the ML was disregarding the promise and pact between families, and was a cold and apathetic person, and she wasn't willing to go the distance to communicate and grow closer, because she was expecting an unfeeling, aristocratic marriage.
They both do not know how to be in relationships and they are both flawed.
It is awesome to see them both be themselves and still get closer together, because they both like the actual person they end up seeing. This seems like an actual interesting relationship on both ends, instead of a cardboard-insert ML who has no personality apart from loving the FL and hating everyone who touches the FL.
IM sorry i i don't meant to dislike i accidently do that
IM sorry
And i love you comment really
lol, no problem
