“We did our very best to bring about misfortune.”After many years apart, Giovinetta and Johannes have finally professed their deep-rooted feelings and spend their days basking in each other’s company—but their happiness is short-lived. Not only are their brother, Winfried, and Giovinetta’s maid, Griselda, quick to catch on to what is happening behind closed doors, but the arrival of Giovinetta’s future son-in-law also provides a cold, hard reality check. It’s one the lovers are eager to run from, but will they be able to pull off a daring escape before the voices of dissent extinguish the flames of their love?
This story is so absolutely toxic that it burnt itself into my system. Seriously, I find it so repulsively toxic sometimes that I cannot stop and guzzle it down like a madman thirsting in a desert. Oh, also the art is so extremely pretty, I want to rip off the pages to hange them in my apartment as posters.
While the beginning was interesting but not Sooo great, now the story really takes up speed! It's enticing, interesting, has a nice touch of supernatural and mystique, while also sometimes giving me the heebie jeebies.
UPDATE: I've finally finished the webtoon and the ending, the ENDING y'all!! 😭 perfection 🤌 I was towards the last third truly worries it'd be a tragedy. There is so much tension, trauma and hurt, especially on John's part. But the ending is exactly what I needed and was orchestrated heavenly. 😌 Brownie points also for giving me a story that was always 10/10 did not see that coming. Kudos!!
