Honestly, I'm surprised she didn't try breaking it off after reading the book, knowing that she'll twist herself into someone she doesn't recognize in the name of expectations (didn't say love because she was doing this since she was raised to be of a certain status).
I love dark haired beauties, but this one pmo. He took the rumors about her as gospel and didn't bother getting to know her in all the years they were engaged. Like she said, he treated her like dirt in his pockets, barely acknowledging her as a person.
I'm certain he's gonna chase after her and the redhead will chase after him.

I shouldn't compare the sisters, but they harp on Iora's beauty when I think Wellmy looks way better. Iora looks plain compared to her, even in her dressed up mode.
Anyway, I love that this is a story about sisters who loved each other against the wishes of shitty parents and other outsiders. They never lost sight of each other.
I still don't like the prince, even though they tried to explain his dislike of Wellmy. He was still jumping conclusions (and missing Iora's true aim/personality).
( ̄ヘ ̄)

It's actually obvious that Wellmy is prettier than Iora, but since Iora is well trained in etiquette she appears more elegant than Wellmy plus Iora is the legitimate child of their family so even if Wellmy is prettier the other nobles would probably choose Iora since nobles values legitimacy.
Also, Wellmy didn't actually put effort to in learning etiquette and other things noble should learn because she doesn't want to attract attention in a positive way, she literally wants other people to perceive her as a vain woman with only a pretty face (just like how the cp perceive her).
When it comes to intelligence, both of them could be considered as genius in different ways. Iora is a type of genius who could easily learn everything, while Wellmy is a type of genius who has a very logical mind since she thinks like an adult at a young age, it only appears that Wellmy is not a genius because she works hard. She actually has a good plan, its just that she is so kind that people who knows her true self saw through her plans. Aside from that, as what Aides and Iora said, for me, Wellmy is better because she is brave enough to put her plans through actions.
Also, Wellmy always says that Iora is better than her. That Iora can easily be the rank 1 in their school if not for the abuse, but I think Wellmy is not below to Iora, they could be equals or they might even be a chance that she could surpass her. Wellmy actually has a lot to prioritise as well to focus solely to studying, she has to deceive her parents, deceive the people around her, entertain Iora's fiance, make sure no bugs goes close to Iora, planning the downfall of her family and etc. It's true that Iora is better than Wellmy in any magic as well as magic research, but Wellmy is better than Iora in support magic. Both are gifted in magic, they just have different specialty.
All in all, both are very special in their own way. It will only manner to people's preference to choose who is better than who.

I went on to read it elsewhere (had points from plaza) and here are some spoilers for y'all.
1. The prince bought her the first night because he thought it was, in fact, his ex-fiancée and wanted to be sure. Them having sex was after he got carried away.
2. It was common practice to go to a brothel to get experience. It was true his uncle told him to go, coincidental that he went to that particular one she was sold at, but intentional that he bought her.
3. They both fell in love with each other, him knowing that it was her and hiding his identity, her just falling for him and thinking he looked familiar (chapt 13 she finds out after he falls asleep next to her).
4. The one who sold her was the trash girl, not her father. Her father lost sleep trying to find her and appeal the annulment of the engagement.
5. The prince never allowed anyone else to buy her and when she tried to cut him off, he bought the brothel. It worked in his favor when he was trying to re-establish her position as crown princess. Convinced the nobles that she was untouched because he saved her in time (in truth, he was the one who touched her... Repeatedly).
6. Trash girl gets exiled after everything comes to light. Looks like she's planning on doing something else later on but that's the latest chapter. After she sold the FL, she heard news that the FL was stabbed to death by a customer, so she thought she was in the clear for being crown princess. The prince hired someone to lie to her, so she thought he was going to the brothel for experience for their wedding night.

They didn't touch much on his reaction to her being sold because they slipped the behind the scenes portion of his investigation.
He wanted to end the engagement, originally, because he actually believed the trash girl's accusations between the FL being cold towards him and the "witnesses". After presenting the case to everyone in court, he properly apologized to the FL in front of everyone about his role in this and how he believed her and her friends rather than investigating. Claimed he was ashamed as the future ruler of their country who should have known better to not allow a simple manipulation mislead him.

This is a bit more separate, but I’m just surprised that kings in general or crowns were sent to the brothel bride before they’re getting married. The idea of experience is so stupid’ cause like which bride would be happy at the thought of her partner going to sleep with another woman. On top of that, I’m presuming they’ve been virgins their entire lives until this one night they go to the brothel which then in this conference case he goes repeatedly even though yes we also a female agent and they’ll get together in the future, but still. Imagine if this was a complete stranger, and the female lead was the fiance.

Because men being experienced are celebrated. It's something that's a thing now where some will look at a man weird if he's a certain age with no experience. To be nervous or clumsy during the first night is seen as not being able to lead, I guess.
Meanwhile, women were taught to be pure for their future husbands and have him take care of her needs.
That's crazy! The 100th story ended up being Hina's 1st story... She's going to do the ritual to see Yuuma again, I guess.
Omg sorry I think I accidentally pressed downvote… meant to upvote aahh
It happens. I hate that we can't change the votes, either
