Series without conflicts

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

I feel like last two chapters tried to squeeze at least 5 to 10 chapters. Other that that, antagonists are has nearly non-existent, but it's not bad thing, I was able to focus on main couple and their journey to happiness. Overall series is mostly peaceful, calm and heartwarming - "worst" thing are gossips about ML and FL which isn't even mentioned often as most time both spent in dukedom, not palace.

Just one comment: so-so

The story is also interesting, but the pace of the narrative goes from 0 to 1000.

Chapters: 96.
In my personal opinion for such a plot if well handled they could have been enough. The way they were handled, however, they are too few.

Story:
Lily is forced by her father to marry for the third time, and this news comes to her upon the death of her second husband. The future mate is the duke, son of the king he had with the monster queen. This information is public and the whole kingdom knows it. The duke does not want his wife to see his face, and for the first few periods she will always be blindfolded. He thinks he looks like a monster instead, as he will be told again and again by many people, he is handsome. The story will evolve and so will the love they feel for each other, all intertwined with political and economic backgrounds as well. Honestly speaking, the potential plot had tons of it...but it was a disaster. Up to about chapter 75 very slow and focused on the carnal relationship, from 75 to 96 on the other hand a non-stop race, with HUGE time jumps, plot holes (not to call them abysses) and relationships between characters not at all clear.

Drawings/Graphics:
The draughtsmen were outstanding; I was only able to finish it because the quality was so good. I can't compare it to drawings by artists with more fame and experience but for what I saw they put their best into it.

Final Reflection:
Would I recommend this manhwa? No ❌.
Would I read it again? No ❌.

It definitely wasn't horrendous

I really didn't like how they did their interactions most of the time. It just felt a little awkward 🫢 and then when you feel like they should have gotten past that awkward stage, it just comes back again. It wasn't bad it was just fine.... Glad I left it alone for almost 3 year.
I stayed for the monster blood and the scales. season 2 got better but I don't understand why the bad dad traded his wealth for the lameo son.... 73 chapters until she saw him in his monster form and it was so anti climatic 😮💨 the monster babies at the end were the best

Review based on how much the prologue made me want to read the story

by Utsukushii Yume

Rating: N/A

The prologue starts like a smut, ridiculous conversations attached with groping, anger and ion. I took interest in the deaths of the FL's husbands so I may have given this a higher rating if the prologue had stopped right there. However the prologue continues on into some overly dramatic soap opera, it gave me the feeling that the story would try real hard to take itself seriously, but logic and common sense will not exist in this world.

Based solely on the prologue I think people who enjoy soap opera's or overly dramatic romances that toss out logic all in the name of ion and love, I feel this book might be fun for you to read. I don't plan to read it, but I will skim it as I wanted to see if the prologue represented the story correctly. I figure at worst I'll get a good laugh at the ridiculousness and at best I might actually enjoy it enough to read.

...chapter 4 & 5

by TiredandDeadInside

Rating: 5.5 / 10.0

Had me hollering. She can clearly see his clothes in the courtyard where his face is also RIGHT THERE. Out in the open. When he runs after her to hug her from behind inside the castle in chapter 5 he shields her eyes and turns her to face his chest...a chest wearing the clothes she very clearly saw on a man in the courtyard. These clothes are also very luxurious and unique. She does not connect the dots. My girl is in a whole class of her own for idiocy.

Make it make sense.

However...she slowly gets better. So, 5.5 for that.

Dropped at Season 2 END.

I'm glad she's leaving. Soon, Vlad, your half siblings will have greater cause to get you into even more trouble because Lily lost ALL ability to think for herself with them there but mainly because you can't fucking communicate you absolute fucking moron.

Argh. I cannot stand Vlad. His trauma and body dysmorphia is horrific, yes, absolutely understandable! HOWEVER you'd think with all of those level headed people beside him, who quite literally will die for him and have been loyal to him all those decades, telling him repeatedly that he's not a monster would have some kind of affect on his mental image of himself. He has zero respect for his people's words and actions, it seems.

It's R19 chapters are good, male lead gives FL freedom, not a toxic or tsundre one.

Bizarre

by MaZzAx

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

Can't say I'm impressed. I mean, it's entertaining enough that I'll keep reading, but the writer makes no effort to make it clear why the male lead doesn't want the female lead to see his face. Nor does much effort go into preventing her from seeing it. When she eventually concludes that the face she saw was her husband's, there isn't even a scene where they discuss this. It's just skipped over.

The male lead shows no concern for traumatising his wife by forcing her to be together with him blindfolded. He acts like she's scum for attempting to sneak a peak of his face during the night, and later acts like he's the greatest man to ever walk into her life. I'm not even sure I understand why he appears to have fallen in love with her instantly.
The male lead lacks appeal because of the way he was introduced and his confusing motives regarding not showing his face. You know there's a reason, but the execution is so sloppy it's like some non-event.
