Doha is turning into a complete POS, but I don't feel bad and still can't forgive Rie for leading Asrahan on the way she did because she thought she was what?....going to die!?! Yes, well, she would've died like her brother had it not been for Doha, but forget Doha. A blind man can see how strongly attached Asrahan is to Rie. He isn't happy with her relationship with Doha, but still gave her space to live her life (with a watcher lol) She did the do with Asrahan and became even more affectionate towards him as time passed. She did all this, knowing that she was going to leave him behind. A man with his own personal traumas. I don't need Asrahan save her from Doha. ATP, I need to see a redemption arc with Rie begging for Asrahan's forgiveness for her selfish motives and for being a hypocrite. Regardless of her reasoning... she is SELFISH AF!

And I've been waiting over a year for some of the seasons of other stories there to update also. Perhaps the author is overwhelmed with deadlines to other stories.
The FL is incredibly dense at times and makes me want to throttle her... especially when she got found out by the husband and ML. She could've handled that situation like a boss (see as her husband already knows her wishes for a divorce) yet she chose instead to act like a child. At the same time, I totally understand why she wants to get out of her marriage and the fact that she feels powerless to make it happen.
The husband is wrong for using her for money AND neglecting her. Sir... you can't start feeling some type of way now that your wife doesn't want you. I just love when people have that.... I don't want you, but I don't want anyone else to have you... type of attitude. It's sooo attractive. (Eye rolls)
I'm not quite so sure if the husband is actually 'cheating' on his wife and/or if he's just simply being manipulated by Freya. No doubt that he's not in love with his wife, but there is something so weird about the relationship between him and his maid and the fact that this so called relationship seem to start exactly when the hisband was told to investigate the FL's father.
ML reminds me of the ML in The Princess Demands a Divorce.

I feel like I have been reading this 'love story' forever and now that things are finally coming to a peak I just saw that... there is a 2nd novel?!?! If that novel gets adapted also, I guess I might be committing another 3 years to that story. I don't know any details about the 2nd novel, but can the 2nd book really surpass having a ML like Jay and is it titled 'Pay It Forward'?

She is a 'dignified' and sensible character but she is weak when it comes to her loved ones. Her father, sister, and Damien. People are tired of the Cold Duke trope, but to understand Damien and Chloe's characters is to understand the time period this story is written in. To understand a cold Duke is to understand powerful men marry for not for love, but for the benefits of such an alliance. Damien gained nothing by marrying Chloe. Her family was neither wealthy nor powerful. She may have been the pawn to some of his schemes, but ultimately a marriage to her held no great benefits. To understand a cold Duke is to know the importance children are in marriages amongst nobles. Yet Damien chose to save Chloe over his unborn child. That was a defining moment which gave readers a glimpse of his true feelings for her. To understand a cold Duke is to understand with one wife seemingly dead, he could now find a wife more 'fitting' for his current level of now being an 'Emperor?' Damien went into an enemy country to get Chloe back. Chloe may not like Damien, but she also never stopped loving him. She just redirected those feelings. Is Damien an a-hole? Well of course he is. No doubt about that. Does he truly love Chloe? Yep, but his cold upbringing did not prepare him to actually fall in love nor how to treat that person. He can learn though (Which is the true purpose of these types of stories) Had Chloe received the emotional support she needed at the loss of her child (even if that support wasn't necessarily from Damien), this story would have went in a totally different direction, but then people still would have found a reason to be upset.

...I came here to see if people had the same idea of Jessica as I did and was not disappointed. Because how are Camilla and Jessica literally the split image of one another if dear ole daddy wasn't still out there planting his seed everywhere. I do understand amongst the rich and nobel class, arranged marriages are common and rarely their choice. Rarely (not always, but rarely) in history will you hear of a true love match when it comes to arranged marriages. I don't feel that women necessarily fell in love with their partner, but resolved themselves to their circumstances and tried to find as much happiness allowed OR they simply became bitter. The later would perfectly describe the wife of Camilla's father.

...translations make me wanna barf. I was reading on Webtoons but wanted to read ahead. I literally stopped reading and forgot about this webtoon because of the translations here turned me completely off and I was too impatient to wait for Webtoons. There should be some way to put a placeholder or something so these trash sites and their trash-lations aren't automatically updated here.

I understand why people are frustrated and/or mad. Granted that she is now in her sunken place due to past traumas and current betrayal that are constantly triggering her. Yet, Pen is literally being handed a helping hand to help get out of her situation (which many people don't get) and instead she's harshly slapping it away. What other choice does she really have now? Switching over to her father and brothers is impossible at this point. There is a good lesson to be learned here. To not put all of your eggs into one basket. Which is exactly what she did. Now that this happened, she has a choice to either sink or swim. Instead, she has lost all hope and is actively choosing to sink and wallow in her despair. I'm sure readers want her to keep fighting her way back to the top, especially because there is a hand reaching out towards her. You can empathize with one's situation while not being an enabler to their behavior. Personally I'm frustrated because of the way she is acting towards Callisto. She's trauma dumping on him when all he's trying to do is offer a helping hand. That's another lesson folks. Stop trauma dumping on innocent people.

Opps Mistakely cut of myself
She's not leading on the ml ,Fl has made her intention very clear.She has stated that she needs someone who loves her and that isn't the ml because ml has also been clear that emotion like love are useless for someone of their position.
Both have different goals so its best to go thier own ways rn.

Yeah but... she's literally back at zero with what options she has and she refuses to look at his favorability score for whatever reason. Callisto may say and act one way, but he has natural a-hole energy. A-holes don't seek out people just because yet time and time again...he just keeps popping up. At this point, something is better than nothing. And yes, she is trauma dumping on him. She's simultaneously thinking about the game and how she was treated in her old world, which is causing her to lash out. A simple no thanks... I'm not interested would've sufficed

Nor is my comment about being team Penelope vs team casllisto.
I have also made it clear in my prev comment about ml being clear about his intention.
Both want different things so its best that they go separate ways. That's all I am saying
The thing that made me reply to your post was about the line "Fl trauma dumped ml"
I give it a 8/10. It was a cute, quick and sweet story. I liked how attached and possessive of her he was, but not to the point where he totally took away her independence. I going to assume that she also continued practicing medicine after the birth of their first child. The smut wasn't overwhelming to the point of taking over the story (which I think is why I took a break from BL) She was shy, but not prude to the point where their intimate moments was off-putting. My main complaint I have with historical stories with heterosexual couples containing smut is that the stories tend to be (for the lack of words)... basic. It would be nice to get a story with a balance of an intriguing plot and passionate moments. They would be my ultimate power couple... lol
