Summary
Read manhwa Marriage of Convenience / 결혼 장사 / The Marriage Business / The Wedding Business
Bianca de Blanchefort. The wife of Zachary de Arno, thrown out of Arno family after his death due to her self-indulgent, frivolous, and immoral behavior. She had nowhere to go, the Blanchefort family having already fallen to ruin, and was more or less kicked to a convent out in the border. A woman who ultimately met her end on a cold stone floor. A villainess with no honor: that was Bianca’s life before she went back in time. “Is this truly reality? Did I really travel back to the past?” This was neither a dream nor a hallucination. This feeling of hunger, fatigue, the vivid sense of everything around her… This was all real. If this was indeed reality… If God truly gave her one more precious chance…! ‘I’m going to carry out a business. A marriage is a business in the end. Zachary’s child will be the perfect source of financial support. I’m sure my dowry will remain safe too. I won’t have to lose the Blanchefort or Arno territories to that damned viscount either.’ Then whether it be through seduction or persuasion, she needed to give birth to her husband, Zachary’s child. “How much was my dowry exactly?” “400 calves, 900 pigs, 100 units of silverware, 300 rolls of silk, 2 crates of jewels, and a portion of a territory… Equivalent to a two-year budget for the Arno county.” “Don’t you think you should compensate for that?”

I’m waiting the translation for chapter 44, and checking for update more than 10 times everyday?…
Now that I’m considered the translator may giving up or postponing the update because someone posted a extreme long post saying why he/she don’t like the story… Hi friend, why don’t you just pick another story to read then!!
It is one of my favourite manga! And I can’t read Korean or Arabian!! Please please please I need the English version!! ??

So I prefer more mature stories with realistic expectations for what can be done so, I really wanted to like this story. But I just don’t think I can get into this one because of the premise of it being a second Life story with a protag who has such a childish personality.
I think I would like it better if the author chose to just eliminate that one detail that makes her a full decade older than what her body is. If she were genuinely 18 at the start of this, and idk, had a vision of the future or something I could then extend grace to her behaviours and actions. But we are constantly reminded of her past life which can explain trauma, but doesn’t excuse actions. Which I’m just not able to overlook since so many other second Life stories do that better .
Our lead here just acts sorry entitled and that isn’t for me. However
.
The story itself is mostly realistic with reasonable explanations of what can be done. For one thing, it’s nice to have a story with a count in lieu of a Duke or Prince. Money is a more tangible concern because of this and politics is about survival rather than a grand game of assets.
The romance being fairly slow is also nice. and it Keeps the male lead in a space more reasonable for his own perspective which is also nice for me since i don’t like how sometimes the men become accessories for the purpose of an adoring husband. He has his own concerns and own life.
I like the story pieces which is why I give it 3 stars. But I don’t like the execution via such an entitled protag since it makes her seem foolish or pig headed. And because it sort of implies that she didn’t really learn anything even after starting life over. And I just don’t feel comfortable with that from a girl who has plenty of material and canon traits to not be this way.
N7Warrior
I also have a second review but this one i wanted separated due to sensitive material in the text.
tw for
R*pe, s*xual assault, child abuse.
Another review had praise for the realistic nature of the story. I still have this with regards to the severity of the issues that come up.
For example
This story doesn’t shy away from the fact that our protag was a child bride. That wasn’t an accident of translation. She was a child when she was married off and we do go through the impact it had on her.
My issue comes with the sort of resolutions we get from the text about this topic and others. Where it’s misunderstandings or reasonable in lieu of having the full weight felt either from the situation or as something the protag has learned from.
As mentioned, this is a girl who was a child bride, and her first life went poorly. However as we go through her second Life, it seems like only the male lead seems to acknowledge in the text that she was a *child*. This is an issue because it’s a trait for him that is used to garner him sympathy points from the reader and not as a fact of her life from the environment she’s in. Her surroundings are full of people who thought it was okay to judge a literal 9 year old for reacting poorly to being sold off. These are the people in her community. The people she supposedly has to “earn” the trust of.
People who thought a nine year old child bride should bear a child soon after marriage.
This would actually be less of an issue to me if we didn’t acknowledge she was a child bride in the context of making her husband seem *romantic* for remembering this fact.
This kind of thing happens a lot. The author has the mind to be conscious of the situation that is being written as horrific and awful, but will undercut it with humor, romance, or play it secondary to plot facts.
An example being us the reader- learning that a person was r*ped and then reacted poorly to a child being produced from said r*pe, and that being a backdrop to the child being ~~EVIL~~
This was very uncomfortable to read due to the framing of the issue.
The three stars isn’t for the material covered. I like that the author is realistic about how horrible these things are. I’m less enthused that the framing of these aspects are subpar.
There is too much of a modern lens that informs the reader “this is definitely bad” while then brushing it off like “meh, this was life back then.”
Lice was a thing back then too. And polio. If we can fantasize about a hot husband who cared about his child bride, we can wait until she isn’t 18 (to him) for the romance to start.
It’s fairly pretty. Decent translation. But I can’t bother anymore.
Catfish
This is a medieval manhwa..let me tell you some of the royals who married at early age…. Isabella of Valois who was just aged SIX/6 when she became the second wife of Richard || in 1396..Eleonor of Castile married Edward | of England at age TEN/10…. Beatrice of Vermandois (age about 10) married to Robert, Margrave of Neustria ..Cecile of France (age 8/9) was married to Tancred,prince of Galilee in late 1106…….there are still plenty of them but I don’t want to make this comment long so that’s all for now…
Hey-peeps
Love every character excpt from the blondes
riane131
I agree
Maggie34
After re-reading again the story …… I just think that maybe Zachary and Bianca had given a new chance for their lives …. Both of them died in vain..so if the story said that Bianca was given 2 chances maybe same as Zachary but they both failed again..their first live was like the marriage doesn’t work bcoz of the young age..Bianca become rebellious so that she called evil wife..the husband was not able to be with her bcoz of war that’s why they don’t got heir that causes Her to be kick out in the Arno territory..
2nd lives was same situation and Bianca being alone she find love with the other guy and that’s Ferdinand….that cause her gossip of being a whore woman while her husband battling for war .maybe Zachary knows about it that why in Bianca memoy Zachary was crying before die..
They both have regrets in their lives their marriage was just nothing…that why this time in their new live they should make the marriage work ….and the romance will begin this time ..???
Iustina
i think zachary was crying there bc he was obviously dying and everyone must have regrets or extreme body pain when dying in war. I also believe that bianca was the one that went back in time and changed, but the count was the same as ever, like she said in ep 36/37. but of course, if bianca was given a chance, then hopefully and probably the person she deeply and truly loves (Zachary :))) will be given a chance as well. They both need to grow together, along with Arno and the people around them <3
Ant1socials
NEXT CHAPTERRRR
Iustina
I really like the way the characters develop and bond with each other in the meantime. I can already spot a lot of signs of what might be the future conflicts and answers to those. Bianca and Zachary seems to really like each other and dont try to hide it. So very happy FL isnt pushing her feelings away and instead of that, she embraces and shows them to the world. They’re both so cute~
Catfish
The manhwa that I don’t like is the one with an FL who only want to farm- she’s so beautiful and optimistic but somehow,a bully emperor together with his bully friends and people joined forces to destroy her…. that is obviously what we call bullying…I dropped that manhwa because I can’t stand someone being bullied especially a girl with no bad intention but to farm…so somehow I understand these readers..maybe they cannot stand some arc of this story and that is there opinion

This is the WORST story I have ever read in terms of normalization of misogyny and child abuse. The author is trying to make all this crap into something romantic … this is just revolting and disgusting. I read until chapter 28 because I wanted to see how the MC would overcome her traumas, but I can’t anymore. I like the MC and the ML is handsome, but … they have a HUGE age gap. It gives me the chills (not in a good way) when I see the scenes with 9 years old MC and 20 years old ML. And the worst of the worst is the father who sold off his daughter for political and “educational” reason. I do not recommend this story to people who are sensitive to child abuse and misogyny … but the art is great and the translation is good too.
Spring and Summer
Yes I agree that FL’s father is a piece of shit.
Like… I don’t care how much he cried when he met his daughter again…*sigh* I feel readers got fooled by his tears… What he did is unforgivable (+ I personally think he is a bit misogynistic)
(+) that “I didn’t contact/talk with my daughter to protect her” is a piece of crap. I also don’t even want to think again, that she had no one in a foreign land… (yes there was her nanny but she died too soon) , how much she was criticized for her body, for not giving birth!! and many other stuff.
Catfish
I don’t know where is the child abused here,?and who is that child?..okay,we have different perception and interpretation,.if you don’t like it,then go in peace….
Iustina
this manwha ist trying to normalize misogynism, it’s just the way women were treated in those times. Dont forget, if you’re going to read a medieval comic you need to accept the rules of the past that they were living in.
Catfish
This is one on my favorite manhwa…so good and the translation is very flawless very understandable..and the art is awesome too..⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hikikomori
Its cute and all, but when will the misunderstanding be cleared??? I’m getting tired of reading lol bye for now.
Iustina
i dont understand but accept your feelings on this manwha. Though the process of healing between the relationship of Bianca and Zachary need to be slow and steady to have good results. Furthermore, there are many misunderstandings because they still dont know each other really well and even if they try really hard to, it still takes some time to get to know and understand the other person.
For now, im really happy with the way this manwha is being made and i think you should give it a chance and read up until the last chapter. I, too, was sceptic whilst reading the first few chapters.

Can I please punch the prince and that viscount!? my god!!! can I just do it once!? but it would be much better if I can do it more than 10x ??
