Typical romance book on Webnovel. Strong female lead and strong male lead. But just mix in a bit of sexual assault, emotional manipulation, starvation, physical abuse and you have yourself this story. It's not really unlike any others on the site really. Also there's very clear review manipulation so take with that what you will.
Tbh i didnt like the novel at all, didnt have anything to read so i just went with it. At the start the female lead is show to be cool, an assasin strong and what not, just for all to be for nothing as the male lead is better than her at everything, also their relationship is one of the worst i ever read (for the first 300 chapters at leat) he drugs her, hits her tortures her, abuses her and what not it start to get sick at some point; and she just takes it all despite being a master assasins. i dont want to spoil the other half of the novel that changes the plot 180° but if you can get past all the abuse then you should read the novel, the second half is better but i didnt like the change tbh, like i said i just keep reading because i didnt have anything to read and just wanted to see how this ended. To resume if you can get past all the abuse in the first half, and you are ready for the plot to change totaly in the second half to the clasical novels with reals gods and power ups then you should read it, if not then just pass it.
The synopsis is great as it describes the traits of the female lead but as I read more chapters and came across the male lead , it gives possessive vibe where it reaches to the point of being abusive and hard headedness. The 2nd lead is the same , abusive. Though I am not a total feminist, some plots in this novel implies that wives shall submit to their husband to the point of having their husbands have the final say in everything.
There are inconsistencies like the FL and ML being said to be very close to the same strength but the ML always far overpowers the FL. Also, the ML isnât much older than the FL but seems shocked by how strong the FL is when he is stronger. The FL is the leader of the assassin guild but always fights head in, which isnât something an assassin would do. She should have just flashed around and killed the assassins the emperor from her birth country sent. They shouldnât have seen her coming and just died, like their leader did at the end. She also shouldnât have let any get away. Great translation but otherwise not good overall and the ML is particularly rough and abusive.
I totally hate ML.He is an abusive guy who only knows to force FL. FL looked promising in the beginning with her cool and strong personality and that lasted only till she met ML. Even though she isn't totally submissive to him I don't feel like she is doing enough. ML says that he likes her but I honestly think he only has lust for her. I thought he would treat her better after few chapters but it's not happening. I've read till 153 and FL has suddenly started liking him for no apparent reason. I really tried to hang on to this novel as much as I can by trying to justify ML and FL. Like how he might not how to behave when in love or FL doesn't know how to overpower him or whatever. It really feels like a Stockholm syndrome cause she has been kept captive by ML for marrying him. Actually I hate all the males in this novel. Haven't found a decent one in this story.
