I do not recommend this story.
Sure, the art is pretty, but it’s not stunning enough to make me forgive the extreme stupidity and all the logic-holes of the plot.
The general idea is good though – a girl’s ability of psychometry (obtaining memories or sensations through touching objects or living beings) was misused by her father in order to blackmail and do crimes. He gets busted of course and so the female lead is also caught, but she is saved by the male lead and from then on helps him with his power struggles by using her ability for him…
BUT all of the details and scenes that this story consists of are so messed up!
First: the fatherly abuse is extremely overexaggerated against all logic; just to make the female lead look as pitiful and battered as possible.
She’s also completely oblivious, thinking her father does good things with the information she gives him – a horrible man who starves and imprisons her in a cold moist bare dungeon cell like a rat?!
When they get caught, the father pushes his crimes onto his daughter, and she is dragged away – but why isn’t he too? Who in their right mind would believe a criminal that yells in panic “someone else did this, not me!”?
Next, suddenly the prisoner’s carriage stops so that the female lead gets a chance to run away, but is stopped, nearly gets r*ped – and all of a sudden she is miraculously saved just in the nick of time by the male lead who has come riding full-speed exactly to this spot in the dark woods…
After the saving, the male lead does not comfort or help the female lead up immeditately – nope. Instead it turns out that he is another conscience-free b*st*rd who urgently pressures the severly shocked and mauled girl to prove her ability to him (he has everything prepared for this and then also reacts like he knew about her ability in advance).
The female lead is brought to the manor of the male lead and from then on switches back and forth several times between being submissive, subservient and knowing nothing about the world – and then suddenly acting aloof, cheeky and even elegantly proud like a refined noble that she never even was.
She’s been imprisoned and abused for years, escaped death by a hairbreadth, but isn’t traumatized at all.
The male lead keeps on being cold and unfriendly, only sometimes he’s a bit nicer per chance – he’s now using the female lead exactly like her father did, minus imprisonment and starvation. Instead, she’s “allowed” to accompany him in his attempt to exact his revenge (and to eventually take the crown).
Also the female lead gets herself in troubles when trying to help others out of her own will (and then she’s kidnapped again, what a original idea…).
Her own “revenge” part of the summary merely refers to her her father who was her only abuser – although he should either be in prison or dead. Unfortunately the author just lets the father run free and even keep the money he has robbed after he shoved the whole responsibility for all the crimes onto his daughter – only so that the female lead can burn with the desire for revenge.
Why though? She was in rags, starved and visibly mistreated when she was found, instead the father was the head of the household who profited from the crimes, used all the money to pay assassins and was found out be the culprit by blundering…
Since she escaped a prisoner transport, shouldn’t she be a wanted person? Seemingly the author didn’t think that far, instead the female lead can just go on a “date” with the male lead into some restaurant and everything, without dying her hair or any kind of disguise.
For several chapters, no other possible male lead candidate shows up, and since a lot of short pseudo-romantic scenes are strewn in between the main characters, it’s clear that the female lead will basically be forced to yield to this unkind man who only uses her – he doesn’t even need to treat her nicely for her to fall for her “saviour”.
And the male lead seemingly doesn’t know a single other woman so that he has to make the female lead his wife someday? Well, she’s pretty and even submissive towards him, so it’s possible that this is his k*nk or something 🙁
Unfortunately there’s just too little brain and reason in all of this.
Helene is a noble lady with the mysterious ability to see the past of anything she touches with her hands. Her cold‑hearted father has exploited this power for his own gain, using and draining her for years.
Betrayed by that very father and driven to the brink of despair, Helene finds herself face‑to‑face with the beautiful yet infamous “Cold‑Blooded Prince,” Wilfried. The two of them form a relationship as co‑conspirators, each seeking to carry out their own revenge.
A dangerous love romance woven from secrets and buried pasts.
