결혼 장사 1-5 [Gyeolhon Jangsa 1-5]
비앙카 드 블랑쉐포르.
자카리 드 아르노의 아내였지만 그의 사후, 사치와 배덕함, 그리고 음탕함을 명분으로 아르노가(家)에서 내쳐진 여자. 친가인 블랑쉐포르가(家)의 몰락으로 오갈 데 없이 방황한 끝에 초라한 변방의 수도원으로 쫓겨나다시피 한 여자. 그리고 그 끝에 결국 차가운 돌바닥 위에서 죽게 된 여자.
명예를 모르는 악녀.
그것이 바로 비앙카의 회귀 전 생이었다.
***
“이게 현실이라고? 정말, 과거로 돌아온 거란 말이야?”
꿈도, 환각도 아니다. 이 배고픔은, 피로는, 생생함은….
이 모든 것은 현실이었다.
정말, 정말 그렇다면. 신이 나에게 다시 한 번의 값진 기회를 주신 거라면…!
‘나는 장사를 하는 거야. 결혼도 결국 장사니까. 자카리의 아이는 좋은 장사 밑천이 되어 줄 거야. 내 지참금도 지켜 주겠지. 블랑쉐포르 영지도, 아르노 영지도 그 빌어먹을 자작에게 빼앗기지 않게 될 거야.’
그러려면 그녀의 남편, 자카리의 아이를 낳아야 한다.
“우리의 결혼은 얼마짜리 결혼이었죠?”
“송아지 400마리, 돼지 900마리, 은그릇 100개, 비단 300필, 보석 두 궤짝, 그리고 영지 일부분…. 아르노가의 이 년 치 예산 만큼이었지.”
“그 값은 해야 하지 않겠어요?”
그를 유혹해서든, 설득해서든.

Marriage of Convenience
(English Translated Title)
This is the most boring marriage of convenience romance I've ever read.
I read the manhwa version of the novel. The art work was great. But that's about it.
The story majorly failed. I do not usually have any type of high expectations for manhwa. Many times despite the plot making no sense, manhwas can be vastly entertaining.
But bro, this story didn't make sense on several occasions, there were so many plotholes and it even failed to entertain.
I truly don't get the hype. Everyone is saying that these two are the badass couple. Frankly? Except the main characters, I liked all the other characters. I read a story like this for the first time where the supporting characters have more complexities and charisma whereas the two main leads are the cliché paper characters.
Our female lead, Bianca, goes back in time when she was eighteen years old and still the Countess of Arno. She's married to Zachary De Arno, the Count of Arno, for nine years already. That means she got married when she was nine. And everyone is blaming her because of her overindulgent and expensive lifestyle and not sharing the bed with her husband when in fact her husband is often fighting outside. His commanders even tried to persuade him into taking a mistress and giving birth to an illegitimate child. Bro?! Relax. She's eighteen for God's sake. Give her some time. People had too much expectation from a child who is all alone in a place full of stranger with a scary husband and who got an ultimatum from her father that she'd never be able to go back to her homeland.
But then all gets resolved magically when her father admitted that he didn't send any letters in nine years lest he can't control himself from telling her to come back when he was the one who proposed the marriage in the first place. During the first meeting between Bianca and her father, they cry and reconcile.
I CALL IT BULLSHIT!!!🙄🙄🙄
As for Bianca herself, at first I liked her, but then she took the Mary Sue route and I was barely holding on.
Zachary was a standard male lead. But he was perfect to the point of being boring. I found even the psycho villain more appealing than him. There's another thing that bothered me very much. In the whole manhwa, it's portrayed that the past Bianca was at fault for their failed marriage. But other than her affair with Fernand, she barely had any faults. She was lonely and alone without a single maid that she could trust. I believe it takes two to tango. He didn't take any type of responsibility for their distant relationship. And even in their present timeline, other than him being gentle, it was always Bianca who took the initiative.
The progress of their relationship was sketchy and insta-love in a bad way. Once, they were respecting each other, the next moment they were in love. Even then I couldn't feel any chemistry between them let alone feel any type of connection with them.
Listen, if there's a pair of protagonists who have many cards on their advantage and still doing nothing despite knowing their opponent; and there's a villain with a much more tragic and complex past who is working hard and playing his villain part very well, don't blame me for not rooting for the main leads, okay?
The "romantic" interaction between them made me cringe and roll my eyes to the point I had to search for my eyeballs in the back of my head.
There was only one face-slapping moment and that didn't even slapped the right way. Except the funny chibis, there wasn't much comedy to compensate either.
All in all, they were barely tolerable. The two stars I'm giving are purely because of the supporting characters. They overshadowed Bianca and Zachary by leaps and bounds. I was totally rooting for Yvonne and Gasper. These two were soooo cute. Princess Audrey slayed like the queen she became. Catherine and Marceau were also a lovely couple. I even felt bad for Jacob though this man just couldn't take no for an answer which was pretty annoying.
Not worth the hype in my opinion🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

Webtoon version:
Arranged marriage✔️ Age gap✔️
3.5. Many readers have mixed reviews. At the beginning, the webtoon was still enjoyable, and the art was nice (special mention: PRINCESS AUDREY UWAAAAAAAAH💗PKS WHEN SHE WAS IN THE GARDEN I LOVE HER), the side characters are pretty nice (I LOVE YVONNE SHE SO PRETTY TOO AJSHGAKGHSUKHAKHA) and the male lead is the type that has a cold front but is actually a cute, shy, and protective dog. But Bianca the fl may seem bratty and immature to some readers(honestly shes just maybe 19 years old and was basically sold off to marriage when she was like 6-8 years old with only a nanny that later leaves too so her personality seems reasonable).
But my complaint is how the story is developed, at first it was interesting but the way things between her and her family were resolved was a bit rushed, it would've been better if we got to know more about Bianca and her family and more about the side characters. I also feel like Bianca's character could've been presented in a better way and I feel like those years where Bianca was all alone still aren't made up for, their romance is too fast-paced, and I don't feel the actual chemistry. WORST OF ALL THE VILLAIN'S END THE POOR PRINCE AUGSJHSJAUSHAH NOT JUSTIFIED SO UNFAIR HEAL HIM TOO he had so much potential he could've been developed better(he was psycho and never knew when to stop but😩).
still enjoyed it tho😋(I'm not feeling well so my review may sound different from usual help I'm low on brain cells)

5 / 5 ⭐
** technically for the manhwa adaptation but not all the books are listed yet
Manhwa: 1 - 141 (including side stories)
This series SLAPPED SO HARD. We got to see a lot of character growth in the story, and the romance between these two was top tier gradual tension building up. There's no silly third act break up or miscommunication. In fact, these two communicated beautifully throughout the whole book and there was never a point where I felt frustrated because of something that could have been prevented.
Yes, there is an age gap between our ML/FL including when they were married. But it is important to note that this is a historical-magic novel, where our ML is regresses. And our ML is the biggest GREEN flag, even in the first life. He refuses to even do anything remotely suspicious.
And the side stories of this manhwa??? Unparalleled in the realms of side stories. They are as good as the main story. We get to really see the cause and effect of everything that has happened into play.
And extremely easy, and fun read. Came in for the potential smut. Got hit with the feels and love for all the characters.

I know that some people are kind of hesitant to read this story because the main lead got married while the FL is a minor, and I respect their opinions. But I would say that even if that part of the story is a red flag, overall this is such a good read. First, I like the male character. He knew how much his young wife had suffered and that she would be sad so he did his best to provide everything that she needed, even though he was an absent husband in the first part of their relationship. I loved how he made sure to get back what he had lost and that he waited for her to be at the right age because he bedded her. I also like how he is prepared that he will die, so he made sure that he got his will ready. Another thing, he waited for his wife to be ready to tell him everything and he did not push himself to her. I can say that the female lead was still immature and it is understandable because she was so young when she left her parents' home and got married. But it was so amazing how strong she is, that she will not hesitate to get back to someone who will ruin her and her husband. I love this story and I love the couple.

zachary… the man that you are. this dude is everything, and honestly i would marry him for convenience without a single hesitation. he’s brave, protective, a total provider, strong, lowkey jealous in the cutest way, and stupid handsome while being the greenest flag ever.
and bianca? my fearless countess turned saint-coded duchess. she fought tooth and nail to rewrite her fate, and her character development ate so hard. i love how she slowly learned to trust and rely on her hot husband. their dynamic? obsessed.
the plot was kinda all over the place — like, a lot was happening and sometimes my brain just clocked out — but it wrapped up nicely so i can’t even complain.
the found family in arno was peak comfort. her bond with zach’s knights, vincent (vinny), my brave girl yvonne, everyone… and nicola omg that boy owns my whole heart.
bianca was smart, scared, stubborn, and still pushed through everything. easy, solid 4-star read.

Amazing storyline, amazing art, amazing in-depth characters. Just simply amazing. I loved Bianca and Zachary. I loved how all the side characters actually had storylines and importance to the story. The drama was perfect, the pace was perfect - everything about this was perfect. I enjoyed it so much. Again, the ART was STUNNING. Kudos to the author and the illustrator for making this body of work.

Eeeeeemmm.
Me aburrí y mucho, pero me obligue a terminar los últimos capítulos. No puedo negar que los primeros son entretenidos pero luego siento que se va todo a la mierda.
Obviamente es igual a todos los manwhas del momento, ya que al parecer hubo un BUM en las historias de rencarnar o volver al pasado, así que la originalidad te la metes por los huevos.
Me gusto muchísimo y me hubiera encantado haber visto más de los dioses y santos.

This was a great read! I thought it was going to be like any other isekai but it wasn’t. There was a solid plot and I throughly enjoyed each character. I loved the relationship building between Zachary and Bianca.
An amazing supporting cast with Yvonne, Sovur, Gaspar and Vincent !! Loved them all!
That cliff hanger, before the last chapter got me!

⚠️ Recensione del webtoon e non della novel
Nell'attesa che venga caricata la versione digitale come prodotto da recensire, vi dico qui che DOVETE leggere questo webtoon perchè ha dei disegni meravigliosi, una romance slow-burn molto dolce e tanto dramma politico che vi terrà con il fiato sospeso. Bello davvero

Було трошки нудно читати середину, а от третій акт попав в серденько.
Знову переродження, але як не зовсім, місія Гг - народити дитину - ну таке, враховуючи, що вона явно молодша за нього фізично, хоч і не ментально.
Гг мутить бізнес, як завжди, в неї закохується психопат, війна, туди-сюди, служанка теж в кінці щаслива, ніхто майже не помер.
В принципі норм

Despite the age gap, I have to admit that this story is pretty good. I was hesitant at first since age gap is not my thing, but the book acknowledges that the age gap is problematic throughout the novel and written that Zachary is well aware of his and Bianca's age gap. The major characters are written pretty well with their own personalities that add to the richness of the plot.

Hasta miedo me da dar mi opinión por el age gap y matrimonio infantil. Pero bueno, todo paso en la edad legal y no se vieron hasta despues de ser “adultos” so, bueno. Viva Bianca ❤️ y Zachary post regresión. 🥹🥹
Puntos más por el webtoon 💪 el dibujo bello
