Lauvil's manga / #Revenge(28)

Sasha is the daughter of a count. When her father dies, and his fortune is left to her, her stepmother and sister secretly collude with her fiancé to poison her to get her money. Only, on her deathbed she instead travels back in time. She quickly breaks it off with her lover but she also needs to do something about her stepmother. Since she doesn't know who in her household would take her side, she searches for protection outside the home. With a man... Ofc... She decides that the best way to gain protection and support is through marriage, and thus seeks out a partner He must be a man who had no greed for her fortune, no interest in her body and has power, and no one fits the description better than the gran Duke of the cursed Lapelle family. However, upon arrival she soon learns that this curse is not just a rumour and is in fact very dangerous. For when the Duke tries to dismiss her, after her sudden proposal, and she grabs his arm, he reflectively slaps her hand away and cuts himself on her ring. She accidentally touches the ring to her lips, and wouldn't you know it: It was poison. Yup. The duke's family literally have poisonous blood, which is their curse. But Sasha didn't die. Or actually, she did. But she revived again. Multiple times. So, now that she knows the family's secret and she also cannot die, he decides it's best to just give her what she wants and marry her. There is something inexplicably iffy about this story, and not sure what. Maybe it's the cringe intro of the story, where the family who poisons her to death, smear it in her face like psychopaths. Like, it's excessively staged. There is absolutely no reason that someone would admit to a dying person that they tricked and lied to them, never loved them, betrayed them and also was responsible for them dying - except for the reason, that the MC would otherwise be to gullible to realize that she was manipulated and murdered. It could also be the fact that the ML is either indifferent to or laughs at it, when the MC is displaying open fear towards him. Like, no words of reassurance or comfort. Nothing. Instead the FL magically realizes that everything is fine, and then is 100% fine all of a sudden. The story is not the worst I've read, though. It's mostly just a little cringe and unrealistic, not outright problematic. So I'll keep reading for now.
