Misunderstanding as a troupe was never my cup of tea. It still isn't. There are several translation mistakes in the story. Additionally, the male lead in the story's first half is not justified enough. Trigger Warning: He r*p*d, abused, circulated rumours about, cheated, neglected, and killed the female lead. Lastly, he drove the female lead to her death. Naturally, he had plenty of "reasons" to do so. He even has a happy ending together with the female lead. Furthermore, had I known this story had these elements I would have avoided it at all cause. This is a tragic turned happy story. Of course, the story was fully wrapped up and had a satisfying ending. There are many emotional scenes. However, all the above adding up together with a ton of misunderstandings is simply too much.

A great read overall. As the story progresses the author reveal more background information of the MCs and their misunderstanding. A simple yet rarely done task of communicating about the problem of your relationship can easily avoid the mishap that happens 👆. If you have one to begin with. 🗿

A good novel b/w Misunderstanding of L and Fl . A lot of pain but a happy ending at last . Though The ML is quite dumb but the Fl fills the criteria

Heartwrenching story. It isn't cliche, shows real character growth, helplessness even though they appear "powerful" and the general foolishness that comes with being immature and unaware of how to love when tied down by political intrigue that's out of your hands. But the story also speaks of second chances and that even deep trauma, if not completely healed, can be overcome. I think a lot of people hate Igor and its easy to hate him because his incompetence and foolishness lead to Rihannan living a miserable life. But I think the primary person responsible is his mother, who couldn't let go of her obsession for the throne to the point that she killed her goddaughter and tried to pass off a bastard child who had no relation to Igor as his. 2 kingdoms got destroyed because of that. I think the novel depicts very well that the lust for power in the short term will destroy everything in the long run, even oneself, and that's what happened to her - she was killed brutally by her own son. But above all I like that Igor would do anything to make up for what he did, even if it was letting go of Rihannan. So yeah it's a good read and will make you cry. It made me cry.

Good to read, great misunderstanding to both ML and FL. Though the pain didn't disappear in one night , the progress is good. I'm satisfied that it's not too long to read. Great pastime.

I have some huge feelings about this one. There's a lot of rip your heart out angst and if that's what you're looking for, this story delivers in spades. I loved how they used multiple POV to illustrate how the misunderstandings arose between the leads because of differing expectations and backgrounds. It was a great demonstration of unreliable narration and how vital communication is to understanding and relationships. The writing flowed exceptionally well and the editing was fantastic - this story was much easier to understand than some of the others I have read, and I DEEPLY appreciate that. I really, REALLY enjoyed it for the realistic depiction of trauma and the aftereffects - both of the MCs would probably be diagnosed with CPTSD. I especially liked how Igor realized that his past behavior really was abuse and rape, and that it genuinely was his fault for Rihannan not understanding what was going on behind the scenes because he never told her what their families were doing. Rihannan's reaction to being married (again) to her rapist and her determination to move forward with her life as a person who could feel love and enjoy sex despite her past was a visceral gut punch for me, as a fellow rape survivor who was also married to their rapist. I genuinely can NOT say too much about how much I appreciated the depiction of trauma and recovery. It made this SUCH a hard read but so, so worthwhile for me. I cried at multiple points in the story, and that's unusual for me. I was very pleased and surprised by the amount of introspection of both leads - they thought about what happened and how they were processing it, and came to a genuine understanding by having to put in the emotional labor and WORK for it. They learned from their mistakes and there was SO much character growth, especially in communication. The path forward was NOT straight, and that's rare in a lot of these stories, which added to the realism. This really was just a stunning story - I read it in about 2-3 days, and could not put it down.

Welp my first review was rejected lol. long story short, weak FL, ML with conflicting emotions, manipulative mother, millions of misunderstandings. pretty good first read but definitely will not be re-reading it. the ending is pretty cute. The writing style and translation were excellent tho. The comparison with other similar novels was, this one is pretty average, I've read better.
