Synopsis

Forced to wed the daughter of his bitter enemy, King Karloi of Croisen is far from happy with his marriage. His wife, Evonne Deluah, is a symbol of his helplessness—a constant reminder of the deaths he failed to prevent at the hands of her father. Still, Karloi holds out hope that his first love lives on, all the while opposing Duke Deluah in any way he can. To this end, he takes on a concubine, an act unheard of in recent years, further undermining Evonne's tenuous authority in the palace.

Unbeknownst to Karloi, Evonne is harboring her own secrets—she too is just another victim of Duke Deluah. Despite her refined appearance, she was once a peasant known as Rue. As much as she longs to disclose her real identity to Karloi, a horrible curse prevents her from uttering the truth. To make matters worse, her mother remains an unknowing hostage of the duke.

As Karloi continues his endless search for a girl he cannot be certain survived, he finds himself sparking a mysterious connection with Evonne. Meanwhile, the forsaken queen continues to dream of a life where she and her mother can simply live in peace, free from the struggle for the throne.

Preliminary (94/133 eps)
I see that this story is quite controversial. Here’s my take: if you happen to be one of those people who loves a drama romance with an imperfect and sometimes toxic couple, you will love this story. I typically don’t mind if there is some toxicity, because I think it makes character development from a romance standpoint more profound. I actually love this series. It’s probably my favorite Webtoon I’m reading right now. My only complaint is that the story is a little stagnant right now, but I have a feeling the plot is about to pick up a bit. I feel like this story ...

I think this one is for more mature audiences, it is an interesting prespective and makes one reconsider life. It isn't a frustrating story if it is binge read. It is a rollercoaster and even though I'm great at guessing the plot, I couldn't

I think it is interesting the fact how they so desperatly need each other, even if it's toxic (everything in their life is) so we can't just look at it with "normal coloured glasses", I think they're eachothers path to peace.

If the reader is able to go through (and see through) the violence, it is a beautifully constructed story where everyone ...

I wanted so badly for this story to get better! I stuck it out week to week but I think I'm going to drop it entirely :( At the start, it seemed like a good premise. Not super unique but I was interested due to the pretty art style and likeable FL. But it quickly became a story of abuse & misunderstandings between the main leads. I don't want our girl to even be with the ML which rarely happens...that's how horrible of a person he is...and this has not improved 60+ chapters in.

**Minor spoiler that you learn in like the first chapter: Male lead ...
