I like it, even though it’s a story based on too many constructed (and not even always logical) “misunderstandings” between the main characters.
But I adore the female lead nonetheless, and how she had been working hard for the sake of the country before her marriage and how she’s making herself useful after marriage quickly as well, like by teaching immigrants’ children/orphans. This is really refreshing to read and see.
Readers who dislike large age gaps might feel put off by the seemingly middle-aged male lead maybe, because he constantly struggles with his own age, often thinking that he is “much older” than his wife – who loves him regardless.
Other than that he’s a pretty typical male lead, super serious all the time, rather uncommunicative, stiff, polite, but not very social, and always buried in work. Plus he just HAS to be a war veteran too – with the idiotic nickname “grim reaper marquis”… At least he doesn’t have black hair (or… maybe he even had before his hair turned grey?).
The summary is wrong about one thing – the worrywart male lead does NOT desire her wife “every night”, instead he believes he’s considerate by offering separate bedrooms after the bridal night, and it’s the female lead then who strives to get closer again.
Unfortunately there’s an annoying cliché b*tch of a (step)sister too who snatched the former fiancé away from the female lead, who torments maids, hates her sister for no reason and commits pretty much every cliché stupidity in the book.
Oh, and their father is an opportunistic and rude a**hole too.
The former fiancée is not only a despicable guy (and also drawn like one, similar to the contemptible sister), but he’s the crown prince on top of that, which is an extra-boring trope.
We can now only hope that this villainous and moronic couple will not really become the future king and queen of the pitiful country…
