FL is spoiled noble that needs rich man that hates nobles. Her family falls and she needs to work after being betrayed many times. Becomes tutor for his sister as they slowly open up about their problems and get closer to one another. She meets other man who likes her but can't bring herself to love him Business problems and drama about their past relationship as she suspects that ML is fault for her father's death. She runs away and lives miserably until he saves her. A lot of drama Very realistic and interesting dynamics of two flawed people and arrogant nobles. Love the character development on both sides Not sure if I like the second half. The drama is super interesting but it hurts my heart ;-; They are so toxic for no reason. Why won't you just be honest and get together? The last half was painful since they separated again and again but didn't open up about the truths or their feelings. Don't know why they didn't just take their money and run either Still beautifully written and quite different from the usual things I read. I honestly expected a bad end, but the ending was so beautiful;-; 01/03/23

FL is ex soldier and becomes bodyguard of son of sultan to get family out of debt. People want him dead, but she is far more concerned about her own life. ML is terrifying and likes threatening her. They already met during war, where she spared his life. She fails to protect him from assassination attempt, so she has to keep taking care of his wound. He confesses love even when she is still scared. Her sister visits and is kidnapped as FL should kill Prince. He finds out and kills enemies. Sends her away as he cleans up before following her later. Get married and have children Great story. Incredibly interesting characters and especially the ML is intimidating as hell. I barely ever found any "monster of the battlefield" scary, but he is portrayed so scarily. But why romance? As of chapter 50, ML tried to kill FL a few times. He claims to love her, but I don't see it with how he keeps treating her like crap. He's a great antagonist, but I really don't want her to end up with him. The second half of the story felt like a separate story. It's sweet that the ML became a loving father and husband, but the change does seem odd. I feel like the start shouldn't have been so severe if they were going to end up in typical romance ending. Though, I appreciate that no tragedy struck. Not sure if any of this is culturally appropriate. Seems to be fiction focused, so I just read it as this 14/04/23

The Predatory Marriage Between the King and the Paladin

FL is princess of kingdom and is mistreated. Eventually gets revenge on those who wronged her, takes over the nation and forces childhood sweetheart to marry her. Treats him coldly since convinced he joined some noble lady as concubine while leaving her behind when they were teens. Backstory of how they met and he had to flee shown. Then they finally solve misunderstanding (house ML built wasn't for other woman but for her). Happy ending with them reigning with small daughter The ML is the hero of this. He is so sweet and devoted and also forgiving. I can't put into words how much I wish him all the best in this world FL isn't a good person. ML did want to sleep with her, but she still forced herself on him and treated him shitty for no reason. Wish they had just talked earlier, but I guess the FL had no trust in anyone left. Very morally gray relationship, mainly toxic from her side. In the end, they always loved one another though and had happy end. Most side characters are trash, from her abusive stepmother and siblings to the priest that sold children to nobles. They deserved what FL did to them. The backstory about the abbey was also heartwrenching. The ML was hurt so much, which is horrible. 27/04/23

Amnesiac Maid is mistreated by noble family and is only friends with son of them. Emperor that is known as warmonger that keeps inspecting women's eyes shows up. He saves her and has her brought to palace. She leaves at night and runs into him. He bites her and drinks blood. The second and third part of the story are so much better and less like typical romance. They show their background story and how they met when she was immortal and ML was sent as foreign prince. She was suffering under immortality and then made ML immortal when he was attacked. Third part has a revolt and betrayal by important side characters. Open end with FL waiting for ML to wake up. The betrayal actually hurt. Both male side characters showed their bad traits, but i still wanted to believe in them. Their selfishness hurt a lot. The other side characters have some serious problems though. The latter half is super angsty. Liked it a lot. Didn't guess what would happen to the end. Like that FL didn't forgive betrayal and the way she used her powers to order invaders to leave. 06/10/23

FL is princess but let's her husband take over rule. She is ignorant as he keeps doing things behind her back. Eventually meets noble girl she grows to like, only for her to be imprisoned. FL investigates and finds out that church is spinning intrigue with drug. Her husband supports it. He is obsessed with her and wants to keep her safe, but his father wants her dead. ML is mercenary who protects FL on her journey. He starts out cold and ends up liking her. He wants revenge on her husband Enemies are church which was infiltrated6by cult people who want to use drug and kill people for goddess with king's father on top. FL gathers political strength to fight against them. Very slow and in depth. I was unsure for the first seven chapters, but then the story picked up. All characters are believable. No cartoonishly evil antagonists aside from very minor ones. Like twist of husband being evil but not wanting to kill FL. He actually loves her but goes too far when wanting to protect her. I worry about the preview of her being executed for killing husband since he definitely deserves it. Wasn't into the cult plot line at first, but I love the execution. All characters are important and each one feels fleshed out. Only their help makes the victories possible. You really want the FL to succeed. The ending is perfect. Rounded with no loose strings. Satisfying and heartwrenching at the same time. I adore it. The best political manwha I read 12/01/24
