It's a story about an abused daughter who finds happiness amongst "monsters", as the true monsters are her "family" who hide their sharp teeth behind pleasant smiles.

MC - Main Character

TL:DR, If you just want a feel-good manhwa with simple plot and simple villains, this is for you.

Art: 5/10
Nothing special. At the very least, there are no distracting moments with obviously edited 3D models or funky anatomy that will distract you from reading. There's a distinct lack of shoujo-esque flowery sparkle patterns if you're into that. Lots of block colours. The paneling layouts are good and not confusing.

Plot: 3/10
It's a very feel-good manga that doesn't require ... any thinking at all. Plot points involving the MC are very predictable, you'll know what'll happen from a mile away.

The antagonists– minus the Big Boss (can't comment further as I've dropped the story before they reveal themselves) are painfully stupid to the extent that when revenge is served, I wasn't satisfied at all. Might just be me. There were too many elements that forces scenarios to occur, which is always a bad sign.

There is an overarching plot that hasn't been touched at the point where I've dropped which concerns the monster Duchess, but obviously I won't know what happens then.

Why I dropped this:
It was good the first few chapters, but my opinion of this started deteoriating when it was obvious that the story was using cheap methods to get the plot going. At one point, the MC is naive (which is understandable since she was still a child) but to the extent of being OOC as to ensure she would fall into a trap while being amongst the safety net of adults around her.

That the antagonists are somehow able to survive every time they are "brought to justice" was my breaking point. The reusal of the same excuse from the villains for their crime when they should have long been dead felt like poor writing, especially since this manhwa's world has far kinder bystanders and side characters compared to most other medieval manhwas.

Likes:
The thing I liked the most about this manga is the Salvatore family. They are all lovable and despite the façade in front of the MC, they don't lose their sharp edge. Fun fact: The emperor is not like other emperors, the man actually has a conscience and used his position to garner advantages for the MC's side (which I've never read in other manhwa) no "my hands are tied tee-hee can't do anything because I have to be impartial".

I would have liked this manhwa if the antagonists were better written or the MC was older.
