“I already have a child with another man.”

It was a lie made in order to refuse the proposal of the leader of the most feared mercenary company in the entire country. But his response was unexpected.

“It doesn’t matter who the child is. You can just give birth. In exchange, I’ll take you, Princess.”

She couldn’t understand.

What could this man possibly want with the princess of a failing nation?

Nahhh, I don't like the Female Lead at all. Not one bit. She's a pushover, idk why people think that being overly, turbo, mega kind to others and not yourself?? and being timid and dumb should be a starter pack for you to get the status of FL. What? For sympathy? Oh c'mon it's too overused. I had to read it up till ch63 because I like the plot and the male lead but.. the way the author is projecting the FL to readers is just too unbearable. I am... more>> gnashing my teeth on her more than the villains, for the love of God. 😩🙄 I thought there could be chara development for her but till here, NONE. Just romantic development rofl. DROPPED. BYE. <<less

First, I will say that the translation is really good. I'm not fluent in english, but I can read the novel really smoothly, like it's my own language;

• I found it very difficult to like the FL, I'm serious. I know that it's difficult to make the choices she has to make, but, like seriously, I don't agree with various of her decisions ... more>>
Spoiler

like when she decided to go to her ex-lover's house and they tried to make her marry her ex-lover

[collapse]
. There are moments where I find her likeable, but there are moments where I can't stand her.

• I don't know about the ML yet. There are comments saying that he forced FL to marry him, but in my opinion, it was her own decision. She had options and she chose to marry him.
Spoiler

Yes, he just invaded her kingdom because he wanted Nauk and the FL, but mostly because he wanted her.

[collapse]

Aside from all that, I'm enjoying the story. There are characters that I found very irritating but the story itself is good. And maybe I'll change my opinion about the characters later on... <<less

I've read up to chapter 90 and can't find any more translated chapters so it's currently a drop for me. Rating it a 3/5

Rienne is a princess of a struggling nation called Nauk, she does her best to manage the kingdom, but it's quickly established she has little to no power and is at the whim of Nauk nobles - particularly the Kleinfelders, in which she is forced to be in a relationship with Rafit Kleinfelder whom is obsessed with her. A proposal comes in by the Lord of the... more>> Tiwakan mercenary one day after laying siege on Nauk, in which she is forced to marry him after she finds out Rafit is mu*dered.

The plot is okay.. I wasn't enthralled by it, I thought a lot of times that it was rather repetitive and that there were missed opportunities to make the plot more interesting. I wasn't a big of a fan of the ML in all honesty, he's one character that I think could've been a lot more compelling but ultimately falls flat for me. He's the classic knight in shining armour for FL, every problem she has is solved by him which isn't terrible... but again, I felt like he could've been a more interesting character w nuance if he had a revenge plot instead him being a brute mercenary who's head over heels for FL. In contrast, I like the FL. She's lovely, but like other reviewers say, maybe overly so bc some of her decisions were even a bit questionable to me 😭 <<less

The fl, eventhough she is a princess, clearly she isn't intelligent or wise enough to rule the country. In many occasion she is rather slow to catch on things and it irks me as a reader. If only she is more capable, at least the position of the royal family could be better and she can see the ML intentions and feeling clearer.

On the contrary our ML here is highly sharp and quick on solving problems. It is a pity the princess as the FL here often rely on ML.... more>> I know maybe the author had his/her own reason to make the character like this, but how I wish the female lead could be a little bit smarter so that she could do things and stand by herself.

The story is actually very nice and the translations is super smooth. It is just the FL character that bother me. <<less

This is very good story with interesting plots and characters, villainous and good. The story isn't one of those stories that focuses on mature scenes. I do like the extra side stories continues the story after the "happily ever after".

There are a couple of things I don't like. The first is the FL continuing getting kidnapped or hurt with the ML to the rescue every time. It gets tiring after a while. And the second, I feel that the ML and FL and relationship are a bit robotic. The author... more>> could have written more interesting dialogue around it or it also can be the translation? <<less

the TL quality is really great!!! There are also a few illustrations throughout the text.

some of the early dramas caused by minor miscommunications / misunderstandings get repetitive since they're thrown at you back-to-back, but they get resolved at a reasonable pace so the story doesn't feel like it's dragging on.

i enjoy all the little comedic situations that lighten the mood after a serious scene, but later on in the story when the relationship between FL and ML stabilizes into doting fluff, it starts to feel like I'm reading slice-of-life (which... more>> I don't have a preference for reading), so I find myself skipping ahead a lot. <<less
