You Promised to Divorce Me After 10 Years, Right Dear?

   The female lead is admirable and hard-working, but somehow also very emotional. She has not been isekai’d nor has she returned in time.
   The art is fine enough, especially the hair and eyes. Although the way the female lead smiles might take some time to get used to, I felt it looks somehow shrewd?
   The male lead is trash, as so often, and also looks like a walking cliché. Unfortunately the story puts him into the spotlight for many chapters, which is a sure sign that he will stay the male lead until the end, and the divorce will either not happen at all (annoyingly very likely) or they will remarry afterwards.
   The male lead has of course been abused by his father in his childhood, which made him become stiff, and often women throw themselves at him – which he has just endured and avoided, but has never told them off harshly or retaliated, while he had no problem being cruelly rude towards the innocent young female lead when they married as children?
   He’s said to be a hard worker (always shown buried in ominous paperwork), but one’s spouse and family is also part of one’s responsibility, especially for nobility in these kind of stories. However, the male lead even threw his wife’s letters away and never cared about how she was doing.
   Even when the male lead was only a teenager, grown-up women already tried to seduce him. But instead of making it clear to everyone that he was already married and showing up with his wife-on-paper regularily, he preferred to ignore her existence and pretend he has a lover. Like being known as a cheater would a good idea to stop determined women from trying to also become another lover of his…
   And then the author thought it would be a good idea to make this idiot of a male lead change completely all of a sudden only hours before the main couple would have divorced…
   The male lead formerly planned to miss the important coming-of-age-ceremony of his wife altogether. But after the ceremony has already begun, out of the blue he suddenly worries that noble ladies could bully his wife that he had completely disregarded as if she didn’t exist so far, and he hurries to the ceremony just in time to “save” her.
   After the male lead realizes that the female lead is now grown-up and beautiful, he starts to regret his bad morals, and from then on glues himself to her side; helps her with her business and other stuff.
   Sadly, because he’s suddenly nice to her, the female lead starts to have second thoughts about the divorce – although he’s certainly not the only man who’s interested in her and being married to this guy already makes her a target of bullying and even her business is attacked…
   We all know how stories like this will go, so I’m already starting to skip chapters and maybe I’ll just check in a lot later only to find out why this divorce is not going to happen, or if some very much wanted plot-twist has happened.
