It’s hard to recommend this story because it’s too mature, realistic and miserable. The more you understand how harsh the world is, the more you will understand this manhwa. The best thing of this manhwa is not only the beautiful/detailed art style but also the story and character development Story: I’ll review both from manhwa and novel (which is finished already) view point. The setting of this longgg, unpredictable historic romance drama manhwa is likely be in 19th century without a single fantasy thing, mainly focus on ML and FL. It’s not a romance story that MC mostly show their love to each other and makes you smile. Ifeel my heart ached all the time while I was reading because the story is so intense, miserable and TOO realistic. The pacing is good too. For example, when they faced an unpleasant situation, the story was told little by little so the read would be deep into the story and be shown that the problems were not easy to be solved.
Aside from drama, the scene when mc slept together came out VERY often.

Character:
THE DEVELOPMENT IS TOO GOOD
The word ‘male leader’ doesn’t mean ‘good person’. He is like real-world human who have good and bad side. The reader might judge him as a bad person at first glance but after knowing how he grew up, everything was understanding why he did something bad.
For the FL, she is an air-head countryside girl who mostly did stupid things yet I couldn’t hate her because that’s the way she was, considering how she was rose.
