Why do these webtoons have such ah, in-ter-res-ting names? The father and brothers all love Chloe right from the start and aren't cold tyrants to her, despite what the title might say. So, no cold-tyrants-gradually-warming-up or acting cutesy to survive or I-am-not-loved misunderstandings with tsundere family members dramas. Chloe is adored right from the start and it's so sweet to see that. They've been searching for her for so long.

At chapter 10, the first brother to appear is so sweet to FL (Wednesday/Chloe). Chloe's backstory is told well and doesn't seem to be woe-is-me. I could actually sympathise with her through what the story portrayed. Chloe has realistic reactions and feelings as a child who's suffered. She's still very strong even though she endured so much.

The story won't seem to go in the incest direction (stepbro! jk) but will probably have overprotective brothers. The ML seems to be Sunday, Chloe's friend who has suffered alongside her in the same slave trade. They've supported each other throughout the harsh years, and I think their friendship is very cute.

The art is nice, though the lines are shaky at times. It's not the best, but I don't think the art will affect your reading experience much. In fact, the changing eye colours are quite nice.

Overall, I recommend this if you want a nice family historical webtoon with some romance later on.

EDIT in June 2021: Yooo so after seeing many scathing reviews - three, to be exact - I thought I'd add some stuff to give some more perspective on whether you should read the manhwa or nah. I don't disgree with what the other reviews have stated. I think I just place less importance on some  elements and more importance on other elements of this kind of story. Yeah, I agree that the story's typical, nothing new here. And the art could use some more work as it looks flat, even bland, sometimes.

But if you just want a cutesy story with a nice sibling bond and appropriate male lead, then the story is a suitable one. At the time of writing the main review, I was in the mood for turning off my brain and relaxing. This shoujo does what it's good for - relaxing, cute, and doesn't induce great, if any, anxiety or too much drama that irritates me. To me, it's not the relaxing-BLAND type either - it still has some nice plot and a sprinkle of challenges here and there. Though I agree if you want some more well-written plot, this wouldn't be your first choice.
