“Black-haired bastard…”

Why, oh why, do the main leads in romance fantasy novels always go with a dark-haired man? And why, oh why, do I always end up giving my heart to a brunette?

Vileon Byers, the sub-male in the novel “The Marriage Alliance”.

He is the childhood friend of the heroine, Empress Odette, and is now Chancellor of the Empire.

Reader 1 has unique tastes, and she’s always drawn to the sub-male lead who never gets the girl.

How can the Chancellor defeat the iron-blooded, black-haired Northern Archduke!!

Crying out in the night, Reader 1 suddenly possessed Marienne Didi, the third assistant to the Chancellor in the book

Yes, I will fulfill my greatest love and make Vileon the leading man of “The Marriage Alliance”!

“Don’t you want to dye your hair? What do you think about black hair?”

“Why do you suddenly think I should dye my hair black?”

“Because it’s the only way to end your long-standing unrequited love, Lord Byers.”

If your hair colour is a problem, dye it!

If it’s the power, you practice!

Let’s call it Operation

B.U.T.

“Leaving the place without looking back, speaking coldly while staying close… What’s all this?”

“It’s the way to communicate with the Fourth Princess.”

“Does Her Highness really like this kind of behavior?”

“Without a doubt.”

“But it seems like the behavior of a very violent person.”

Vileon halfheartedly complies with Didi’s wishes. However, Odette remains unmoved, Vileon smirks, and the Northern Archduke appears.

Despite her appearance as a fluffy, cotton candy-like rabbit, she pushes her favorite character from the original work like a fierce beast.

Will she succeed?

First, the main character is like a rabid mad jackrabbit.

I say this in the most heart warming way, she's an absolute dedicated madwoman.

She will do anything to give her bias his happy ending.

I love her.

This story is a 10/10 just by her existence.

I will not say the specific thing she has done because I can't do it any justice. But the comedy tag is rightfully deserved.

.

Spoiler

At one point she slaps her boyfriend's ass

See that comedy tag? This novel ABSOLUTELY deserves it! Like damn I had a great time reading this story because the FL is crazy and insane lmfao! You will love her. Also the ML is like a bf who is trying to keep his hyperactive gf in control lol. The other characters like Duke, OgFL and priest are good too (though the priest is weirdo) but one thing is that after 50-60 chapters the novel started becoming boring for me. I am still continuing it because I have my hopes... more>> for this one. <<less

I loved this novel when I read the incomplete translations several months back. It's got my favorite trope of a fun MC supporting the SML pursuing his love but ends up with him herself instead. Their chemistry and the development of romance is very natural. Also, ML is a brunette which is so refreshing that the author made the ogSML character actually look like one!

However, now that the translations are complete, I can't find it on the translator's website anymore 😭

The top reviews were all right. Because how is this girl be so mad funny? I love how like Vileon said, FL really couldn't lie. She's an honest girl, dedicated, eyes on the goal, and hell insane.

Plus

You're so right Marienne, I too, don't understand the hype that surrounded a black haired ML, when there's is a d*mn Vileon out there ready to be wed and smooch all around his minty body scent. (Now I get the urges to buy some mint fragrance perfume too and spray it all over my... more>> bed)

i automatically gives off 5 star for a cute, funny, adorable pink hair FL🫶🏻 <<less

The MC Didi is not the brightest, but what she lacks in self-preservation/common sense, she makes up for in comedy and gunho enthusiasm!

And our ML Vileon is the greenest of MLs. He's not the one note, filling taste of congee. As the story progresses, what we think is a pretty straight laced character is actually nuanced and crazy in his own way.

This isn't a story for using your brain. It doesnt so much focus on exciting intrigue but rather on the experiences that have natured or nurtured our preferences and... more>> how that define our quest for love, aversion of love, and what love is for each of us. Not as serious as all that. It's just I've read a lot of complaints about the MC trying to change the ML in her quest to help the ML and she already KNOWS that shouldn't be the way, but she and the ML are both battling the hopelessness of unrequited love so there's not much one can do.

As far as the novel translation, as we all know, Korean being a mostly gender neutral language, a lot of pronouns get mixed up so you kind of just need to keel track of initial genders and go with it or try to remember by context. It's not the worst and is certainly not one of those mtls. Dorothea even gives us colloquial context notes at the bottom of chapters. ^_^ <<less

It seems like this novel is not my cup of tea... I have too high expectation based on the ratings..

It said comedy but I just find it annoying or boring or kinda forced? I havent read till the end, but maybe several leads will fall for her "charm" which is typical. I don't really feel the flow of the story, maybe it because my biased opinion that hating the FL character.

Idk if I want to continue the novel, but at this point, it not entice me enough..

I have complaints... But first of all... What's up with the average score?? It's way too high for a randomly written novel like this.

The problem is fully FL. She is designed to be obnoxious, s*upid and childish. She yapps WAY TOO MUCH. Not gonna lie, I chuckled ONE time when she screamed "virg*n" to the OGML's face but in the long term, she is insufferable.

This novel doesn't have a dot of common sense so if you don't like ULTRA absurd comedies like me just don't start.

Dropped after chapter 15.

I LOVE THIS TO PIECES ❤️

Marienne and Vileon is the greenest power couple, great communication and honesty, no drama, no lies

This story has the best second male lead syndrome healing HANDS DOWN

... more>> I feel healed, the grass is green, and everything is alright and beautiful in this world

Cain was such a great addition to the mix, I keep re-reading the parts when Marienne went full throttle mad rabbit mode for his black hair 😂

Odette is a surprisingly well-developed character seeking for revenge. I'm so glad that gurl stayed true to herself, it's honestly refreshing

One of the funniest reads, I had such a grand time binge reading this light novel for 3 days straight

Thank you author-nim & translator-nim for sharing this exciting and fun piece ❤️

10/10 recommended read <<less

Omg this has had me almost constantly cracking up,

MC: fun MC who isn't Mary Sue who's perspective is incredibly relatable to those of us who have read a lot of ropan

ML: Absolute darling ML who was too cute and considerate to be the original story's "ML"; he basically has all the opposite characteristics to the red flags we tend to see in cliche cold violent controlling MLs that commonly crop up in rofan novels

This was such a good read. Refreshing I'd say. The MC stays true to her character and so does the ML. He might seem like a goody-two-shoes at first but like he said so himself : he is nice to good people.

Story is pretty light hearted and fun for the most part. The main character is crazy but the good kind. Putting it on hold for now because things seemed like they were going to start to get serious and I just don't have the capacity to deal with that rn. Plan to finish this later. So far its a decent 4 stars.
