As always when I post reviews, I prefer to stay positive. With this manhwa, it shouldn't be too difficult to explain why I gave it an 8.

<Small spoilers possible, skip down to the TL;DR to have a short spoiler-free review>

This manhwa's title refers to the main character Maurina, with as her alias Marie. She's a shunned princess whose entire family has been killed. She's on the wanted list, meaning if she were to be found out, her life would be in danger. Because of her good heart she had the choice to make a wish, and what she wished for was to be helpful to ... others in any way possible. This resulted in her multiple talents which she could make use of when necessary. Of course having multiple talents would attract people's attention, and that exactly is why she (at first) performs everything anonymously. She can't stop performing good deeds even at the point where it might endanger her in the future. As the story goes on, she befriends even the one she was terribly afraid of, though still not willing to let him know her identity.

This manhwa is created by the same manhwaga as Medical Return (Yuin) and it shows. Talented people shine bright like a diamond. Reading how someone is able to create fascinating wonders is appealing to the eye and brain. Perhaps what makes both of them work so well is that they are quasi always respectful and they set themselves lower than the ones they're talking to, no matter who it is. This makes reading their stories a pleasure and easy to breeze through.

All in all, this is definitely one of the better manhwa out there. If you have some time and interest in this subject then I can wholeheartedly recommend this one to you :)

(I read these 58 chapters very casually in 6 hours with some other things in between, reading these in two or three days shouldn't be hard)

TL;DR:

A wholesome enticing manhwa with a female protagonist in a setting where she quietly shines and spreads good will, making her a silent secret hero. No annoying drama or pacing issues, shortly worth reading especially if you like princess main characters.
