“Miss Berta has disappeared! She took everything, including the dowry, and ran away!”

The sub-male lead in a popular fantasy romance webtoon, Jurgen Nil Everdeen, has transmigrated into the role of Berta’s adoptive brother.

Having raised Berta so well that she refuses marriage and escapes to find herself and her dream, Jurgen goes to meet the main lead, Hernan, to sort out the situation.

However, at the meeting meant for apologies, Jurgen makes a grave mistake, leading to an irreversible contract with Hernan…

“If Mr. Everdeen marries me, we can perfectly resolve the dowry issue.”

“What if Berta returns?”

“Do you think things can go back to the way they were before, after sleeping with your sister’s ex-fiancé?”

For me this novel was a total miss. The premise of this novel hit the spot so I was looking forward to how it unfolds. But for the most parts I was reading, some things kept bugging me a little to much.

In just 21 chapter, ML made MC drunk twice taking advantage and manipulating MC each time. ಠ⁠_⁠ʖ⁠ಠ

Not my type of story but might be yours so go ahead.

Spoiler

The MCs sister and ml, MCs sister thought it was ok for ML to pursue MC I can understand her reasoning but the way they went about on how to. This sh*t kinda pisses me off.

MCs sister and ML both decided on the fact MC would not fall in love with the normal way so they decided to make him drunk and complete a contract that in a way restricts him which makes it easier to manipulate him.

Both of them fully understood MC and his thoughts on having a drunken relationship. They understand his personality, so they knew he wouldn't be favourable of this situation. BUT they still went that 'Drunk Had s*x Routine'.

MC understanding the mess since it was a mistake tried to resolve it. BUT ML not wanting to end the relationship tried to wind him up with the virg*n marriage thing. When MC tried to say no by saying he couldn't get pregnant BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO MARRY.

ML tried to make him able to be pregnant without fully telling MC what he was doing. ¯⁠⁠_⁠ (⁠⊙⁠_⁠ʖ⁠⊙⁠) ⁠_⁠/⁠¯ The f*ck?

But MC after understanding refused and then like a good red flag ML starts to gaslight MC by saying how much MC was enjoying it last night and how MC must have felt good doing it. So MC was fully willing to do it and should also be agreeing to the marriage.

After all this MC still thinks it was a mistake not wanting to marry the ml.

Then ML start sprouting nonsense like how adults in full consent and not intoxicated 😂 engaged in such activities couldn't be considered mistake.

HELLO SIR, YOU MADE HIM DRUNK!!!!! Where IS The SOBER Part Coming From?

After this I said nah not for me cause I know by some way of nonsense it will be

'A Happy Ever After Thing'

I wouldn't say the ML is actually a yandere. Maybe original storyline ML was, but not the current one. Scheming maybe, but honestly, even his schemes are mild.

It's an ok read. The sugar is scanty though. Like, I'm on chapter 51 when writing this and there's been very little progress romance wise. The ML has been waging a slow war on the MCs stomach, but the MC still can't stand to be in his presence for longer than 5 minutes outside of talking about work. And not in a tsuntsun... more>> way. <<less

Spoiler

no matter how much the ML plotted, in the end MC fell for his clumsy, non-plotted side

[collapse]

... and I have to agree on ML not really being a yandere - we know that his aim was MC, but he's got normal relationships with his subordinates... and talks things out with MC if there's an issue (hallelujah)

Also MC. The particular thing I liked about him is that he's reasonable. But like very much. He knows his standing, goes after what he needs or wants, but even in situations when a 'crisis' hits in (and there's plenty because of Ml) yes, he's flabbergasted, but still tries to calmly asset the infos and work out a solution - which are usually quite creative.

The story is actually pretty well-balanced, from both character and plot-plot screen time wise... it was way better than the omegaverse chinese novels I've found

And it really has just the right amount of sweetness in-between ^^ (especially when you read ML's perspective from his childhood... and their relationship C: - anyways, they're cute as h*ck :>

(Btw fun fact that
Spoiler

MC is a kinda power-bottom (?) - once they start their relationship ^^ hehe :p

Honestly, this was such a gem. Both the MC and ML are flawed individuals, and due to what happened between them, their relationship turned sour

... more>>
Spoiler

Sleeping with each other while tipsy. Yes, MC did consent (bro looped his arm over ML's neck and said "Yes"), otherwise ML wouldn't have proceeded with it. Even MC does admit later on that it's impossible to have pleasurable s*x if ML forced him to begin with. ML did pay the price since he technically wanted to manipulate MC into liking him and kissed him with that intention, but then got too excited and ended up sleeping with MC

[collapse]

Some people did ask if the dubcon was necessary but imo it sort of is, otherwise MC would never even consider ML as a potential lover because 1.) He's younger than MC; 2.) He's still stuck with the idea that ML should be with OG!Heroine; 3.) Due to his personal experiences in his previous life, he doesn't believe in love because it only begets betrayal and pain and thinks marriage should be transactional. Despite this, MC was clearly crushing hard on ML the moment he saw his face.

Spoiler

Berta (OG!Heroine) only approved of ML in the first place after ML proved himself worthy and because out of many of MC's plethora of suitors, only ML wanted to make MC happy and not because "MC makes them happy".

[collapse]

Both MC and ML address their faults too, as well as each other's fault, which I find special since there's too little KR novels about calling out your potential lover's red flags and telling them upfront to stay in their lane. MC has strong modern morals (so none of that non-con sh*t prevalent in other KR novels happen and even with that dubcon one, he doesn't brush it off under the rug).

MC definitely is the dominant in the relationship. ML too, does not cross the line except for what he initially did. He always pays attention to MC, stops him from overworking, and generally just loves him unconditionally. He's a puppy seme lol. MC is too sharp for him to manipulate (not that he actively wants to, he just wants MC to like him) so he uses aegyo instead. Ngl, it IS effective.

Spoiler

MC stated in later chapters that he felt like ML was tailor made for him. MC was so used to just giving and giving and everyone just taking from him and encouraging him to give some more, that ML's actions of giving to HIM instead of taking was met with suspicion instead of gratitude. I also like how unfilitered MC's thoughts are, with how he resented Berta for leaving (but would still forgive her), how he resented ML for not saving him on time (give MC some slack he was actively dying at that time lmao), how he thinks ML has chained him only to realize it was MC holding the chains all along

[collapse]

The plot twist at the end was such a gag show tho. It was messed up but was also emotionally relieving.

Spoiler

Also MC insisting he doesn't want any child to wanting all three children at once. THREE!! Even the dragon was aghast. And ML was like "Okay I'll be pregnant for the other two" 😭😭

[collapse]

Anyways, 5/5! Translation was 4.5/5 due to the occasional change in name, although I can see why they managed to miss it. <<less

This is a really light and cute read - a workaholic beta transmigrator who thinks he has no time or reason for romance x a doting and obsessive alpha duke. While the cast of supporting characters isn't large, all of them have interesting personalities, and I especially liked the MC's omega sister. The omegaverse elements aren't too prominent in the story; in fact, that setup doesn't ultimately go anywhere beyond touching on the ML having pheromones and establishing that marriage between any combination of genders is socially acceptable in this... more>> setting as long as it's a combination of genders that can theoretically produce a child. There were some unresolved elements I had some minor gripes with:

Spoiler

There is mpreg, but it isn't actually related to the omegaverse setup in the end, and the omegaverse elements mostly come off as an abandoned plotline. The ending, while not unsatisfying, is a bit abrupt and leaves some background elements unresolved, most notably the dragon's subplots, the hints at the MC having an unusual constitution for a beta since he's so affected by the ML's pheromones when as a beta he should barely even sense them, and the MC's business development plotline - you never even get to see him break ground on the new hotel he's been planning for the whole novel.

[collapse]

Overall it's a really nice, light read; the romance element is cute and satisfying. <<less

If you're looking for a light and enjoyable BL novel with a touch of drama, this one is a great pick. The story follows a clever protagonist who gets tangled with a kinda possessive yet oddly endearing duke, leading to a mix of sweet, humorous, and suspenseful moments.

The pacing is smooth, making it an easy read, and while there's some tension and darker elements due to the "yandere" theme, it never becomes overwhelming. The interactions between the main characters are entertaining, with a good balance of affection and conflict. If... more>> you enjoy BL stories with a mix of fluff and just the right amount of drama, this one is worth checking out! <<less

I am not sure why the rating is so low, I find this to be a very lovely story, the MC is head strong and a bit selfish at time but they all stems from his own experience he is inherently a nice person and though at the start the ML wanted to trap the MC, he does not actually force him to do anything, he took care of MC and just really love and respect the MC. I love the story but I do hope that the ending could've... more>> been longer or extra ch to tie the end would be great. Also if you are reading from the translated chapter in NU there are some typo likely due to MTL, some of the name might change between chapter, but it shouldn't be that much of a problem, you can generally get what they are trying to imply after some times, I hope you can give this story a chance despite the low rating.

Happy reading! <<less
