A sweet and hilarious story. 

The perfect amount of comedy, drama, and relationship development. The art isn't perfect, but it's good. The characters are an utter joy to read about, they're all so interesting and unique. I really like both the female and male lead a lot, they're such great characters.

I was a bit hesitant to start reading it since it didn't seem like my kind of story from the cover art and the summary, but those give off a different vibe from the current story?

Anyways, I really like this and recommend it.

Although it have most perfect review, it is kind of lie because, plot is good and cancept is also good but that doesn't change the fact that it is uselessly lengthy, overdetailed, and it looks like author of this manhwa forcefully tried to lengthen it which made it bore,

I really really love this one, it's funny and the art is fun and different. The fl, Dylan isn't your classic shojo protagonist nor is she excessively violent, scared, obsessed with being a villainess, or hung up on "NOt cHaNGinG tHe OrIginAl sTorY" She's just a lady who wants to help her younger sister and knows that her situation is probably temporary. The ml, Cedric, is somewhat similar in terms not being any extreme, he isn't cold but he isn't clingy either he respects the fl and isn't being excessively kind, he's also not pulling a ceo esq " I'm gonna be super rude to you but I'll also shower you in the stuffs hahaha love me" -thing ( gosh  I really hate that lol) he doesn't chase her around nor is he possessive of her. He's just a normal person who wants to please his grandfather before it's too late. Neither of them have a secret crush type of thing ( yet anyway) they're just two married individuals with out some weird divorce in a year/marriage of Convenience/"bUt ThE ReAl FeMaLe LeAD iS coMmiNg" -contract thing. In conclusion this one really mixes things up and I'm quite enjoying it.

This manga is one of the most refreshing, if not THE most refreshing, manga I've read. Characters are realistically portrayed, complete with personalities that feel organic with motivations that make sense. The female lead doesn't want to take advantage of her knowledge of the novel or seek revenge upon those who will harm her in the future; rather all she wanted to do was protect her sister from the bad end. That's it. Nothing more to gain or lose - which makes the premise more interesting. 

More than anything, I like how they slowly fall in love with each other and they don't even realize it! For an arranged marriage that started off with a farce, the progress and speed at which they get to know each other is peppered with hilarious moments and tender situations. The art style took some getting used to but with their antics and the world they moved around in, you wouldn't even notice because you'd be too caught up with what comedic act they'll pull out of their hat next. 

The characters here stand out and seem like actual people, rather than just another stereotype. The mom, when you meet her, is my third favorite character just because she's mischievous and righteous at the same time. Very interesting! 

If you want to read a good manga, definitely read this one!

50 chapters of absolutely nothing happening and I don't mean that lightly but literally. 

Story: soo cliche " I changed the whole history of the novel and even changed the whole future yet somehow reasonably still believe that mc will fall for his future love like what happened in the story even though the entire world building is changed and I am even married to him now and that it all only happened because his last wife died in the original story... "

I don't know where common sense went. Where can we finally get a story where fmc isn't dumped enough to realise if she changes the story then everything changes, people fall in love with different people and never well the same timeline repeat if you change history. but nah let's not do that.. what a dumb cliche story. 

Plus after reading up to chapter 54 its basically a slice of life where the prologue never ends, you prepare to go to school for example and your in a never-ending eating breakfast for 50 chapters and that's when you start walking to school but by 4 chapters into the 2nd season your still at doorstep. 

Basically, FMC marries mc and nothing els happen, her introduction to high society and the introduction to the rest of the world takes 50 chapters to begin and as someone who paid for every chapter on tapas, I feel it's done on purpose to milk the readers as much as they can. 

Like why do we need to know every single thought fmc or mc thinks about then talk about it out loud and repeat it over and over endlessly then go of topics like doing side quests but only to talk about trivial stuff that has nothing to do with stories, its basically white space filler. 

Lastly, fmc changes the whole history of the novel and the future yet somehow thinks that mc will still love the future girl that was in the novel even thu she married him instead of a sister who would of married him and died then he would be saved by the said woman but now he no longer needs saving so fate and history has changed. How da fk would he even fall for said women in the novel, fmc is such an idiotic character and the story is written with not a single common sense. 

Art: Starts out great with tomboy fmc and strong women yet later fall in whole fairy tail pink art which is quite plain. 

Characters: Unfourtently FMC start of strong as a tomboy woman who is strong-willed but quickly loses that uniqueness and becomes an everyday flirty type of character with no depth or smartness. MC is the same as the same rest of the characters not much depth or thought process. 

Frankly, I don't recommend reading unless you like a lot of slice of life and have the patience to go through 500 chapters because that s how long it will need to take to get anywhere. I'd have rather donated the money I bought chapters with to charity as it would have been better spent.
