It’s such an intriguing story. It starts off slow and somewhat cliche, with the MC who comes from a small, poor Viscount family falling in love at first sight with the rich and powerful Edwin. I thought about dropping it in the beginning because I felt that Heritta’s crush was a bit silly and shallow, and I couldn’t understand why she was so obsessed with Edwin after only a single glance. But I soon realized that she was just acting as her age—she was just 15 years old when the story started. The shining point of this novel is the writing style and the characters. The writing is poetic and beautiful, and the translations support the atmosphere perfectly. The characters are complex and written realistically and age appropriately; even if I don’t always agree with their actions or decisions, I understand where they came from and why they act the way they do. The story gives you a clear look into how the characters upbringing, family, and environment all lead to the person they are now, and it makes them all the more human. The two MC play off each other really well, and give off the sense that they have become better people by being together, which is really lovely and makes their love believable. Than I’m 62 chapters in, and a political intrigue plot has also been introduced which has been quite fun so far. I’m really curious how the story will develop from here on out. If you were put off by the cliche sounding synopsis, I’d recommend to give it a try anyway!
