I absolutely love Mother's Contract Marriage. I love some of this villainess genre histories, mainly The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen, but it's getting so much saturated that it's becoming the second isekai to me. But this one is such a subversion of the genre because we are not following the person who goes back in time/enters a book/reincarnates in a noble society, we are following their daughter. Such a premise is interesting in itself but it's executed in a lovely way. I love the main character, who is a real child, not an adult in a child's body, not a super genius child, just a child. Butthe thing that sets Lilyca apart of others in a special way is the optimism and trust that she can put in others. Between conniving nobles and the bottom of society she always use her childish imagination to keep her wonder and navigate through life.

If you don't care much about the deconstruction of the villainess genre and also don't care about such a refreshing and good main character you can honestly just look at the pictures, because they are the most dropping gorgeous art I've ever seen. Honest to god, I have no idea how the artist can pump these chapters maintaining such a good art level.

I highly recommend this one, even more if you have read some villainess histories and is getting tired of the genre.
