This got official and the name is so right. I've been waiting for translations to continue. Currently read around 20 chapters.
One of the best FL out there but ML still need some development.

And the FL's Dad here isthe Daddiest of them all 😏
woahh it got an official version!! title fits perfectly, and it's a great revenge story. ML and FL both trick others, they both have brains and are both manipulative to the idiots. ML could use some development tho. i read up to around chapter 20, can't wait to start reading again
FL's reaction was priceless when shefound out ML wasn't actually disabled lol
This is kind of gender reverse of “typical” main power couple in manhwa. Here, MC is strong, powerful, and rich sword-master with great background (typical duke of North). While ML is the one who is in trouble but with brains and extraordinary powers & needs contract marriage. (Like illegitimate/ adopted/ unprivileged child of count or ignored princess sometimes with secrets)
Edit : On second read, ML should qualify for title “Cinderella”
Also seems like author is same as Everything was a Mistake - G-ANNE?

Like always, good plot, had potential but went downhill.
On a serious note, does the FL always have to married to the Imperial/Royal family? Is ending the manhwa with her being the most powerful person in the Empire with authority necessary? Isn't it enough that she lucked out by being the daughter of a Duke whose Duchy is very powerful?
Now that things are starting to get better for her, she's been acting rashly. She has temper tantrums and gets mad when things don't go her way. I honestly have a headache of how many times I've seen her scream and yell whether it be at the very unlikeable male lead, her ex, or basically anyone else. Maybe some people like her personality, but I sure as hell don't. It's very tacky and annoying. Not something I would like in a female lead I'd look up to as "a badass". Her personality is out of character now that she's powerful. It doesn't make any sense. Time skip after time skip after time skip leaving us all jumbled up. It's as if the author was too lazy to write some character development and just begun to show random flashbacks at random moments because... for who knows what.
Now onto the male lead, of course, of course, of course, he had to be a crippled man faking being crippled. I could honestly care less what past he had or what he was going through to go to such measures but something about him icks me very much. I've only read up to chapter 12 since I can't continue with this bullshit but something about him really does ick me. Is it because he saw himself as the female lead's savior and manipulated her into thinking he saved her life when she didn't even ask for it?
Is that the only reason she couldn't slice his neck? Because he "saved" her. Even if she was going to slice his neck, that would've been the most idiotic decision she would've ever done. Just because she has powers and is powerful now doesn't mean she can just go around wanting to kill nobles when they displease her.
In conclusion, L male lead, L female lead.
Had potential but it feels like it's doing too much. The fact that the ML was pretending to be disabled is one thing, but the ML being human but somehow literally God-like is too much. Then there are the boring and badly planned scheming and flat characters pretending to have dimension. It's too much and somehow not enough all at once.
It's quite good, but I'm pretty sure it would've been even better as a psychological thriller rather than just a romance drama with how manipulative the ml is.
Okay this will be a long one. So we start with the fact that FL is being shunned for seducing the prince and not being worthy. Eventually they break up, FL goes home and boom her biological father has come to get them. There is literally nothing on how FL has been living all twenty years of her life so far. You can't even tell if she's a noble or not. From cultural context, the society would ask about her father but there is literally no background on this. You just know that her mother raised her alone with a lot struggle but never explains what kind of struggles. Nothing on what was her relationship with her maternal family or anything. And twenty years, but not a single person saw the resen between the FL and her father but then suddenly one day he shows up and say omg look at the resemblance you're totally my daughter so I'mma take you anr and your mom to far away north without any preparation whatsoever.
Just like that within two chapters FL becomes super powerful. I could put up with this but like they say nothing about how she wrapped her head around this newfound family, and suddenly it's been a month. She's already mastered every lessons and even showing super natural talent in swordsmanship! Huh? In twenty years of her she could tell that she was a genius? Anything to make her look like an FL even if doesn't make any sense, right?
Then suddenly the father's like yeah you're slacking so I'm going to slar with from now on and then they show not a single panel of them slaring with each other but you flip the page and three years have passed already! What? Nothing on how much she's changed, how her life was on these years at all!
Now she goes to atend a ball after so long as the heir to the most powerful house, but apparently nobody knew she was the heir in the last three years. Nobody even knew that powerful duke turned out be her dad like he came with a whole army and just left with her and her mom and not a single servant in the house spread the word?
How did the FL become so manipulative and cunning all of a sudden? Twenty years of separation and her mom became smitten with her dad in a day? She got over her fiance and immediately moves on to his brother? Just to use him to destroy her ex-finance?
The plot could've been explained so much better it makes me angry to just think about it. It literally feels like youre jumping from this scene to that scene and half of the story is just cut off! The art is 100/10 but the story is just random patchworks basically. There's no plot, only plot armor to bring ml and fl together. Ridiculous. I don't think I can continue to read this.

It's okay I guess, is not the best story out there but the FL is pretty badass and the ML is nice, his personality is weird in a good way. There is one thing I still can't get over though the reason why her parents separated was so ridiculously incoherent haha everything could have been solved with one simple conversation
ooo finally a coherent translation!! lets see if its good or not but fl is pretty cool and ml is also super manipulative so interesting. manipulative to OTHERS btw, everything is clear b/w ml and fl lol they out here tricking every idiot
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. And rightfully so! Plot's the usual political and power struggle. I wanna see how it'll go especially that FL grew confidence, we love to see it! I wanna see more of this growth. And ML is quite in a predicament and a position different from the typical aristocratic and nobility set up.

cesio may be like a red flag but also hes a green flag and u know what guys hes just christmas
Of all the hot dads, this one is the most like an actual dad. He is the sort of dad who will make you mow the lawn with a crappy push mower and then buy a swanky riding lawnmower as soon as you move out
