The Man’s Perfect Wife

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

The foundation of South Korea’s high society is money, power, and marriage. His marriage was considered a mere ‘contract’ between the fathers.

So it didn’t matter who the bride was going to be. Pretty or ugly, addicted to shopping or depressed, promiscuous or virtuous. The important thing was what the bride would bring to the table.

However, she was different.

He recalled Yuan, who had been sitting so gracefully in front of the magnolia tree. Her white, slender face, pure smile, and her brown eyes looking at him.

Crack. His chest hurt. Damn it, it hurt so much that he began to curse.

***

Their bodies perfectly became one. Their entangled bodies, legs interlocked, embracing each other. They moved as one as if they were searching for salvation.

“If you begin seeing another man, I’ll kill you.”

He sharply bit the nape of her neck.

“I’m warning you now, but I’ll really kill you. Don’t even look at them. Don’t talk to them. Don’t even acknowledge their presence.”

Yuan let out a soft moan and couldn’t respond.

In the night, a spring night where the heavy darkness dripped down like paint, the room was brimming with passion.

3.7 stars

This was an intense story that went from a 0 to 100 in less than 3 seconds. Very Hollywoody/K drama type of story filled with corporate spys, superpowered hacker babe, wolfish inhumanly handsome son of a chaebol, mind-blowing sometimes violent xxx, childhood ab*se and trauma, revenge, angst, etc. All in 17 chapters. Hits many clichés. I shamelessly enjoyed it :) The r*pe at the beginning put me off... but didn't stop me from reading the rest of the story *shrugs*.

I cannot emphasize enough how much I enjoyed reading ththisI honestly blindly went into this expecting some dark dramatic romance with a yandere (i mean, theres a r*pe tag for heavens sake) but what I got really surprised me. The twists, the thrill, the action, THE SMUT. Damn. Everything just caught me and made me fall deep into this story. The events were pretty dramatic (like a kdrama, as somebody said) but it was so well-written that I can't really complain on it. ITS JUST SO GOOD. Not to mention... more>> the smut is also well-written and SPICY AF, totally worth it.

The only thing I was sad about was the epilogue, the author could've wrote more about what happened to everyone, I think that point should've been there. One or two chapters more would wrap everything nicely but anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Its really good. Totally recommend. <<less

Don't judge a book by its title. I picked this up expecting another cliché tsundere ML with no plot — wrong! This is a short novel with an intense storyline. I just wish it were longer so the romance, angst, and revenge could be built up more slowly. Overall, it's a good read with well-written (and logical) smut — a rare find!

Good novel but one big thing made no sense at all. Why...

... more>>
Spoiler

Why not hack the bank to transfer the funds? It is safer for FL, instead of going to the bank personally in disguise and transfer the funds. It’s still the same crime whether it is done online or in person... the risk is way, way less if done online. ML being okay with the disguise and not okay with the hacking makes no sense. He can’t be that dumb, right?

[collapse]

This alone knocked the novel down from a 4 star to a 3 star. <<less

This novel is good.

It all starts from a relationship based on carnal pleasure but later they develop true feelings. Past plays a big role because the plot is mainly about a revenge. What happens in the novel is sometimes very unrealistic but we cannot actually hope for something grand in 17 chapters. This is not a all perfect novel but it is worth reading. There's a lesson there the author tries to convey.

This book is a good choice to pass time.

I loved reading this novel so much. The smut is written with beautiful and arousing descriptions. Unlike other romance novels with a similar situation to the MCs causing so many misunderstandings to the point they get annoying, they only have a few major ones which tie to major plot twists. Although it's a short novel it brought so many twists and turns throughout, creating such a heartwrenching and tear-jerking story. I enjoyed reading this getting more than what I expected.

the story is interesting but I couldn't help but kinda hate all Male characters. All of them had a twisted personality and multiple times I felt like I was reading something only men would think (and this kind pissed me off).

Other than that, the story is very good and the plot is nice.

Til about chapter 10 the plot kinda loses its momentum for me. I dont really care for the personality change with the FL and it just a little basic for me. But not a bad read if your looking for some good smut.

wow, this is good. Its like watching k-drama. Romance, drama, suspense and mysteries. This novel has it.

i like the MC and ml. How both of them are in denial of their feeling and in the end accept they love each other. The characters are growing. Some learn to love, one learn to let go of their love and one learn to find the meaning of his live.

fully recommended for you to read.

I think I might be a masochist. I wanted the romance to fail in this story lol. It's a really good story but....I was looking for a different kind of ending. I'm sure though that I'm part of the minority.

The whole novel felt like rollercoaster. Okay it's a bit exaggerated, but yes there had too much twist.

If you want to read this novel then remember it was a dark novel. In this novel we see the brutality of the contract marriage. And it also depict that revenge is not something which can make you surely happy.

... more>>
Spoiler

Start with a contract marriage. Hero and heroine don't want to break this contract and don't want fell in love. Then 2 year time skip. In this time skipping hero and heroine already fell in love. But heroine past is too dark. She is not innocent rather she wanted to hurt the hero despite being he is not guilty. Then the hero also suddenly come to know about heroine scheme.

Its a main theme. But I think there had two ending in this novel. One was the main heroine, her sweet ending. And the next is his brother ending. His ending was tragic. He always felt revenge was the right thing. He lost his only sister and his lover and also lost himself. But he is not happy.

[collapse]

If I want to rate this novel then its 4.1/5. Despite being perfect wife in title the heroine is not perfect. She had a flaw. And another thing she is dangerous.

And next come the hero. He is mature. First I thought he was forcefully se* with her. But its not, he always respect her decision. Even when she told him about his lover and her scheme (it was her brother, lol), he saved her and her brother.

And another thing when she could not cook, but wanted to cook for him, he just said "I didn't married a housekeeper. You just perfect me". <<less

I really really loved this. Like many other reviews, came for the smut, stayed for the plot. If anything, I feel it was a bit rushed, especially in the end, so there wasn't enough time to develop the characters and quite some plotholes were left open for the imagination.

There is a moment of dub-con which really made me doubt about the development of the novel, but I feel the author was able to stir it well enough to not be too bad or gross.

There were some plot twists that I... more>> wasn't expecting really (
Spoiler

seriously, a bank heist?!

[collapse]
), but again, with how it felt a bit rushed and lacked character development, you can't really expect some things because you don't really know much about the setting or characters.

If we leave it as a short novel, which it is, you can't really complain about the above due to restrictions, but it just makes me wonder how much better it could've been if it had been longer. <<less

Waaaaah! It was amazingly hot with a good plot. I was initially here for the smut but the plot really drives you to enjoy and keep going.

Thumbs up to translator-shi for the good translation quality!

I just wish there was a bit more epilogue about the MC and ML down the line but it was short. Also I wish there's a separate story about Eri.

Overall, I totally recommend TMPW for a short and sexy read!
