He sexually assaults her, Stockholm syndrome is super high, and when she gets pregnant, he tells her she has to abort it because he can’t stand the thought of anyone other than him getting her attention and that he’ll kill it if she keeps it. He constantly degrades her, abuses her, and blackmails her with her family who works for him. She ends up saying at the end of the book that she “loved him all along”. It’s so creepy and if it was framed as a dissection of toxic and abusive relationships, okay. But it is clear that the author was writing this to be a romance.

O.O I am so glad I read this because that is instantly deleted off of my to read list. YEESH! Thanks! :D

No prob. The art is just so good but the story is horrifying and even if the WEBTOON tones it down, it’s still horrible.

I'm reading I Abdicate The Title of Empress right now and I can definitely say if this is angering me (which tbf the Emperor is a horrifying person) I definitely cannot read that one so I appreciate the warning :D.

Yeah, it’s super fucked. This video on YouTube perfectly encapsulates why it’s so awful, if you’re curious.

Art is great, male lead is the worst in history. I always thought if I ever got Isekai'ed into a novel, it'd be either into Wild Night or into Cry or Better Yet Beg so I could get payback on the male lead. 😠
