The score is only as high as it is because of the translation quality. ML acts cruel towards FL all to get back at her for her betrayal, which after 40ish chapters we don't know. Whatever the reason is, it will not excuse his treatment. I wish FL would be free of him but we know how these stories go.

This is going to be a spoiler as it's based on later chapters so stop reading if you don't want to know. &, as expected, they brushed off his past behavior by making him injured on her behalf. Suddenly, they're both going to forget that & be a loving couple again (for a bit).

Honestly its gotten more better as the story progresses. In the most recent chapters (recent as in the ones we can read for free without paying), its no longer stagnant. Some truth comes out and she decides to end it all. Character development can be seen.

Eh, I guess that depends on the reader because I felt that as soon as she got injured & he saved her the story took a shift with them being a bit out of character for the sake of their love story progressing. It made me scoff when suddenly her dreams were to be a reporter & then we learned that Timothy had a close friendship with a woman. I always hate that trope of the cold powerful man who isn't close to women except their lover but then a childhood friend reappears. I know why he feels as if he owes Harmony but has it been revealed why he called off the engagement with Samantha in the first place? I've read up to the chapter where Harmony announces she's a mistress in order to meet Samantha's conditions for her to agree to a divorce (& I think I'm really dropping it now as I don't care for the story's direction with a probable time skip & them eventually ending up together) but I wonder if Timothy is also playing along with Samantha's plan to trap Harmony & whoever is behind her. By that I mean, they're working individually without knowing each other's true intentions but working towards the same goal. Do you have spoilers?

one of the most toxic novels I have ever read, I'm at chapter 308 , can't take it anymore. The quality and translation of the story is very nice. If you can take all the toxicity, read at your own risk .

This is such a rip off! You need to purchase coins inorder to unlock chapters and the coins are crazy expensive when it comes down to unlocking the whole thing. Then you’d have to spend more for the privilege or upgrade inorder to unlock more chapters. And each chapter is dragging it’s story into explaining something that doesnt even need to be explained so that the chapter would just seem “longer” and so that the author can release more chapters. The story is even getting crazier and crazier but most especially the amount of money you need to read this book is crazy ridiculous!!

The conflicts are the same throughout the chapter……. Misunderstandings or new rivals😓😓😓 the plot is heavy with drama and no resolution. This is such a depressing plot for the MC.
