    I haven't delved deep enough into the narrative to grasp the full story, but after reading the promotional webcomic, I can sense its immense potential. Both the male and female leads seem to have experienced hardships, albeit through distinct circumstances. I believe there might be a profound emotional connection awaiting them. Regardless, I'm thrilled that it's gained attention. This is one novel I've eagerly awaited since the beginning. Fingers crossed that it exceeds expectations. Highly recommending it!

    The portrayal of the family was highly unrealistic. I understand it's a work of fiction, but their treatment of the eldest daughter is simply unjustifiable. It's nonsensical, even the servants seemed to hold her in lower regard. If that were real, I'd definitely give them all a good slap, then dismiss them. And I'd have no qualms about firing the entire family. Honestly, I just hope the male lead rescues her from that situation immediately.

    "It undeniably ranks among my top favorite novels. The main character, ML, is exceptional - he supports the FL and has immense trust in her. He's quite adorable, especially during his first visit to her mansion, where he fiercely defended her. He's incredibly sweet, and in the promotional manga, he looks absolutely charming.

    I have a deep affection for the female lead, FL. Despite what some might say about her being perceived as weak due to occasional tears (which is a misunderstanding, as she has endured a lot), I find her strength in resilience to be admirable. It's refreshing to see a FL who doesn't need a second chance to rectify her past; sometimes, seeing her confront problems head-on without needing to go back in time for revenge is a pleasant change.

    While there were a few minor flaws, they don't detract significantly from the overall story. It's a book that, despite imperfections, still resonates with me."

    I'm genuinely enjoying the direction of this story. The machine learning (ML) character supports the main character (MC) when she faces abuse, which creates an emotional connection. I empathize with the characters and have become invested in their journey. I would love to see the sister face consequences, or "karma," for her actions. I truly hope this turns into a webtoon so I can explore more of the interactions between the MC and the ML character.

    Typically, I'm not someone who indulges in reviewing or reading novels late at night, but this one has truly captured my interest. The writing is exceptional, and I find myself deeply engaged in the relationship between the main character (MC) and the male lead (ML). What sets this apart is how well the ML understands the MC's struggles with her family and actively supports her – he's a genuinely kind and likable character, unlike many other MLs in other stories.

    I can wholeheartedly cheer for the MC and empathize with her challenges, especially since I've experienced similar treatment with my cousins, not siblings. I highly recommend this novel to anyone willing to give it a chance, even though I'm only on chapter 33. It's already a hidden gem, and I'm confident it will be a 10/10 once I finish it. In fact, I anticipate rereading it, making it a top priority on my reading list.

    I appreciate the parallel dynamics between FL and ML, as both characters face similar challenges. FL is unfairly treated by her family, burdened with caring for a self-centered and much-liked sick sibling, while ML endures neglect and ridicule due to his noble background. Their connection serves as a source of healing for each other. Although FL's character growth might seem somewhat predictable, the pace is slow but understandable. Overall, it's a relatable and redeeming journey.

    Great! Carry on with it! Translations are fantastic, and both the original and translated versions have their charm. The portrayal of family relationships feels genuine from a psychological standpoint, and although there's plenty of drama, it's well-balanced without being excessively exaggerated. The historical backdrop is also skillfully written. I appreciate how character development starts from the very beginning. With only 12 chapters so far, there's potential for growth, but the novel definitely shows promise at this stage.

    Wow, this really stirred up a range of emotions within me. The treatment her so-called family subjected her to left me furious, and reading about Irene's sufferings brought tears to my eyes. The novel effectively conveys a deep emotional spectrum, even for those without siblings, as we can empathize with the pain. The character development and dramatic confrontations have been engaging. I particularly appreciate how the female lead (FL) and male lead (ML), despite their differences, show understanding towards each other. I'm hopeful that they'll heal each other's wounds and grow stronger together. What sets this apart from typical stories is the refreshing portrayal of the ML, Noel. As an illegitimate child, he has faced societal rejection but has proven himself through perseverance. Initially, one might assume he'd be a cold and calculating CEO, but he turns out to be quite perceptive and empathetic, able to read situations and connect with others on a deeper level. So far, it's been quite an enjoyable read.
