sadslime's manga / #Josei(92)

A notorious villainess who no one respects orders her manservant to sleep with her regularly, despite knowing he's in love with another, because she's so alone and desperate. Meanwhile, he's actually a deposed prince who thinks the whole thing is entertaining. Trigger warning: neglect, abuse, power imbalance, lying/manipulation.

Ayame lives in a ninja village but sucks at being a ninja, and her one solace is watching her secret love, the future village chief, Shoma. But when she hears he's getting married, she decides she needs to step it up and move on with her life, so she asks to learn seduction techniques so she can work as a ninja. To her surprise, Shoma herself is her teacher on the night of, and the next day, he asks her to marry him! Ayame is under the impression Shoma loved someone else so he was forced to marry her, but really he's been in love with Ayame for a long time. Had some cute moments, but honestly, Shoma is a red flag. I lost interest and stopped reading around chapter 30.
