The female protagonist suffered for most of the book. Although I don't usually enjoy light novels, I felt the male protagonist wasn't that loving. From beginning to end, he was the one manipulating her, as if she were stupid. She wanted to assassinate someone but lacked the strategy, and was always exposed by the male protagonist. He never showed her any kindness.
Could it be that Teacher You has also gone on a diet?! Thinking of using the surname Xi 😆
The female lead's father, a royalist, is a political enemy of the male lead, the regent. Due to court intrigue, a marriage based on mutual suspicion and testing begins. Amidst love and hate, and feigned affection, feelings slowly develop. The female lead and her family gradually learn about the male lead's grand ambitions and the emperor's unsuitability for the throne.
I'm hooked on [Orange Candy]! I'm hooked on [Orange Candy]! I'm hooked on [Orange Candy]!
Checking in to commemorate the day, finished reading one book. Continuing with "Entangled Dragon" 😳
The male lead is extremely rare and utterly disgusting 🌈
I watched it on and off for several months.
A marriage decree, a mutual wariness. The book avoids dramatic, melodramatic conflicts, using everyday life to unfold the protagonists' dynamic of power struggles and growing affections. The sham couple slowly develop feelings for each other amidst restraint and tug-of-war, a gentle, flowing tale that grows more captivating with each reading. [Orange Sugar] I'm hooked!
It's beautiful. The ups and downs and reversals are also interesting.
Of all of Fourth Sister's articles, this is the worst, worst, worst. The emotions are incredibly awkward. It's completely nonsensical. Compared to her previous works, even those by Song Yin and the old lady, this one only gets a 40.
