@degenx yh it's kinda wasted. And the romance could've been good even if it was cliché, the problem was how they portrayed the girl, she's like someone who doesn't know how anything works. She can't see that her beauty was causing trouble not only for the mc but also for her own family since many was after her. What sealed the deal about her for me was two things. First one was when her father decided to take the mc as his heir, he explained to the mc that he knows he has many enemies due to his power and actions, and therefore he'll pass all of that to him too. Now with a reflection like that, a father like him would also educate her daughter to be careful and show her how the world works for someone of their status, and yet the daughter was acting like a complete idiot, second thing was when she escaped at night to go visit the mc in prison, that's was so dumb, and the dumbest thing was the servants of the house agreeing with her to go undercover and covering her absence for a while at night because of "love", and because of that she not only got discovered by the enuch targeting her family, but a random mercenary fell in love with her at first sight, in just one night, undercover and with no one to protect her. Man this sh** pis*** off so bad. It made no sense at all.

@HASHI Personally I don't think the author has any experience when it comes to actual romance, or how interactions should more or less work, i'm going to go out on a limb here and assume this is a korean manhwa but if it is korean based its reading more like a chinese based martial arts manhua. which is sad because the way the interactions and relationships work out fall straight up in line with the chinese variant one where its super cliche, the mc is super emotional and makes outlandish decisions and no one questions it, and the females act either really villainous or they're super inexperienced and really annoying. I like the concept of the story but I hate the delivery of the story. The character dev also follows the same layout. I hope the author improves but it's only one of those wait and see. It doesn't help that the translations from early on were missing a few pages for at least a good while.
