This story is an awkward one, or at the very least is too impatient with what it wants to do. It's plagued with simple tropes executed rather lazily and the art reflects that.

However, it's unique wherein the Villain and his father aren't good people. Legitimately so. Their mindset is warped, but they do know how to spoil FL once she transmigrates into their stepmother/wife. It doesn't take long for that to begin and so FL struggles to realize just how messed-up they are. Even though she's aware of the novel's future events.

The story is really just about FL trying to prevent the Villain ... from growing into an adult as he was written to become. And the smallest gestures are enough to pierce the barriers the father-son duo hold against others, but with both of them love-starved, they find the other annoying in their constant attempts to secure FL's time. Which is endearing and a way for them to bond as father-son rather than a business relationship they just weeks prior.

(Due to dropping this so early yet there's currently 82 chapters totaling two full seasons, I'm marking this as Mixed Feelings. My main reason for dropping was it being too dull for tastes.)

How do I put this.. oh yeah. It takes every fiber in my body to contain the anger within me.
[The spoiler is at the last paragraph, I already put warning sign]

This Manhwa has 🔞 scenes from the main character which is Roselia, the Villain's Mother. It's nothing horrid. It happened (a couple times within the series actually) when Her relationship with her Husband was fixed. It's nice that they have seperate chapters to warn people in case they do not wish to read those scenes. Clean chapters, and raw chapters.

During the early chapters, I could make do with the poor script writing. The ... plot is interesting enough, 'I became the Villain's Mother', so I endured my wits reading those inscruciating poor written dialogues.

It became more agonizing as I reached Season 2. I began to notice the patterns the author use to write their plot. Once in awhile would be fine, but the pattern would repeat every few chapters within Season 2. I won't describe the pattern, but should you choose to read this Manhwa, you will soon see it for yourself what I meant.

One of the most disappointing turn off events would be when the story fast forward to where the Heroine's child was all grown, a time lapse, at that point of the story the relationship between the Heroine and her Husband had been fixed. What I anticipated most from the story was that they would have a child together! Why would the Author tease us with such ideas but not make it a reality! This isn't just a selfish wish of mine, rather the storyline itself led to a promising premise where such possibility would have existed. To me that seemed like a failed opportunity on the Author's hand. [Eventually they did have a child together, but it takes a very long time in the story.]

I try not to get too disappointed, so I tried to accept it as is. It's fine, as long as I still had some enjoyment to the plot of the story. The patterns would often repeat, the only interesting parts are when the main characters face any conflict or issues because only these two elements are what makes variety to the plot. Other than that, I would say it can be boring most of the time.

What makes this Manhwa add fuel to my anger is the unjust, the bias, the hypocrisy that pairs with the poor script writing. The immaturity! Agh! I mean c'mon! They aren't children, why is the Author so hell-bent on making them act like it?! Not just person to person, but every character in the Story! From the Royalties to Nobles, much less Peasants. Even the main characters. It really shows the Author's lack of human understanding, much less writing abilities.

It has it's good point. Like how we get to see the relationship between the Heroine and her 'Villain Family'. It's genuinely nice to see all the misunderstanding and love blossom within the family. A happy life is always worth admiring. Making friends, and fixing the family's image amongst the nobles and citizens. Bringing prosperity and honor to the kingdom. These points within the story are worth getting into, but sometimes it's just not enough. So I can't say I don't recommend it, solely because of the good parts of this Manhwa. But I also can't say I like it, cause I don't quite like it that much. Thus the low rating. That's all I have to say, hope this helps.

Roselia is the Villain's Mother. The Villain is her Son, Ein. We basically see him grow up from a child into a fine man. He finally gets married during the last few chapters of the Manhwa. This Manhwa was supposed to focus on the Heroine right? Roselia's intimate moments would be enough.. but it felt weird to include Ein's 🔞 first time as well. That's just my opinion.
