This is a super super cute romance story! Very feel good! I love the art and character designs. The characters are very loveable, especially the female lead-- she's strong, fun, cute, funny, spunky, and positive! I can't really imagine anyone not liking this series. The concept, which is in the title, is somewhat overdone in stories. That did not bother me at all since it's so well-executed, and this is introduced at the beginning, not the end. If this were the twist at the end, I would really roll my eyes. I guess I docked a star for the plot not being a super unique ... masterpiece, but again that's not really what I was looking for in this. This is great guilty pleasure light reading. The romance scenes are everything I want and make me squeal with delight and anticipation.

So far 99 episodes are out and I want to give a overall updated review since the story did start very good , however mini spoiler warning. In start Lareiette is neglected by her family had 3 months to live so she left her family found the duke exchange of fake relationship in exchange of healing him of his curse she's the kinda straightforward charachter who is very good at expressing her love .

Though there was this separation kinda arc where fl leaves thinking she's gonna die and the ml is trying to find her that was just annoying and exhausting to read the whole ... those chapters .

For anyone curious the Duke knows about her terminal illeness about 70 or 80 chapters later so yeah not a fast reveal currently story is good happy happy everything.

The story is not a new kinda concept but the fl having personality is good she has charachter development and happiness development more like . She is very blunt smart , clever the ml on otherhand is cutie pie whos misunderstood as scary totally the possessive for fl lead kind .Tbh he doesn't have much personality except true he's nice smart perfect sad backstory but honestly the fl just seems to have a better or more complex personality or more to her charchter .

Now on to parts that I personally don't like :
Theres tiny bit angst at each chap it's like each chapter end in the bed secene at certain point like idk it's just annoying to repeatedly see those scenes each ep also like understandable they get time at the end of they but there doesn't have to be a s** scene at each chpater end even if it's not revealing a lot and shows their love , it's just the chapter could be amazing have many nice things but at end one bed scene and now the whole episode discussion is focused on that .

Other ml / second ml
Doha is your priest loves fl what I liked was it was clear he wasn't the ml good person but also , Doha like charchters in story like these are bad and a very popular concept since In the end they either become evil or alone (I hope that dosent happen here but so far that seems the case ) .

The downfall after S1
See for me S1 was like 9/10 but s2 7/10
S1 had more in story created good cliffhangers the literal season end was a amazing cliffhanger plot twist s2 is more of skipping panels to read since there's either too much romantic dialogue scenes each ep and there was this running away arc and duke suffering wanting to find her . And the story has included romantic scenes from start but since s2 it just seems it's the end point in each ep takes away all attention from other plot and there's literally every other plot ending fast and only romance phase happening so yeah .

Mixed feelings can't really recommend it to others anymore the art is 10/10 and I like the story I understand it's romance but the whole name was I thought my time was up but now that part is cleared I hope they end the story soon since dragging the story will only ruin the story since all major plots are dealt with we got backstory .
And the other part is that the plot is literally not there anymore except romance and sweet chapters are good but if it gets dragged on more than 30 eps they will need to introduce some other plot or twist or ruin the story . S1 had plots like her family his family her illness doha vs duke , the priest , corruption, etc but s2 is literally best as she leave > he finds . Can't find > find again > obstacle > met > love > plot speedrun end in 5 chapters> love again and in between some worth reading chapters .


Overall s2 just kinda don't have much plot and seemed dragged at a point and I hope the story dosent get dragged more and ends soon with a happy ending.
It was a good story not a masterpiece or anything new I think the fl is just written very well and the fl + ml relation was the best part of the story which makes you as reader want to read it .

I recommend if you want more romance and little story but otherwise not really art is pretty but agai some chapters focus on second lead and season 2 really just seems more focused on romance or s** .

everyone is so insufferable.

it was fine at first but after that my brain actually kept getting turned into mush with each passing chapter the only reason I finished it was to see if it got better but it never did, the main character, lartiete or whatever genuinely gets on my last nerve and that white haired Pope too. The ml is slightly less annoying.
The plot is either incredibly predictable or just something that would never happen
the art style is the one saving grace in this

others might actually enjoy reading this but I doubt that

I don't even have any more words to spare on ... this
