이 와중에 앨리스가 돌이킬 수 없는 사고를 쳐 버리고, 클로이는 결국 위기에 빠진 가족을 구하기 위해 오만한 젊은 공작을 직접 찾아가 그녀의 일생일대 가장 큰 도박을 시도하는데….

3.75/5

[manhwa cr chapter: 61]

I love it when the strongest, smartest heroine with the biggest heart gets paired with a hero who’s just a little—or not so little—out of his mind and completely obsessed—or more like insane—about her. I love it.





(I’m actually scared of Damien)

"Would you sacrifice your honor to marry a Duke?
In order to save her family from ruin, Chloe Verdier must find a groom for her sister, Alice.
She soon runs into the handsome but arrogant Duke Thisse who makes a proposal that could save them. When Alice flees with a mysterious man, Chloe must seek out the Duke in the biggest gamble of her life."

So... general tl;dr
poor girl marries rich-dickhead. Runs away with handsome counterpoints (possible nod to pride and prejudice), leaves sister to fullfill said contract with aforementioned rich toxic psycho.
... Starts out with showing that he's not so bad, leading his troops in battle (his father gets killed and beheaded etc).

2/5 the drawing is good. writing quality is below a telenovela.

3.9.25- complete/ the ending was a little rushed but it did what it needed to do

I love this red red reeeed flag man

[Chris Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's still ongoing.. on season 2 now but damn the FMC is so strong and dignified! One of my fav so far. She has got a limp (which is a significant plot point in the story) and isn't physically strong but mentally and emotionally 💯
Her husband, the crazy Duke, is a bit unhinged lol and manipulative but totally obsessed with her! The art and the plot makes this one Amazing read! 👏

4.5 stars 💕

I NEED S2 NOW

[Leila ✨ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Para qué escribís un personaje femenino tan bueno, tan inteligente e interesante si igual vas a hacer que perdone todas las atrocidades que cometió el protagonista cuando ni siquiera se disculpó ni se arrepintió de haber hecho lo que hizo xd

3 de 5 estrellas.

[Prottasha♡︎ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Smart heroine who doesn't give a duck to hero's act. Even though hero is the worst person, evil manipulator... I don't care. cause I've seen him going crazy for her. He is super jealous, possessive and madly obsessed with her. I ABSOLUTELY loved IT

MMC alphahole

Betrayal duh. angst
Marriage of Convenience i think? 💭
MMC BIG RED FLAG 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
Has dark themes w/ tw but no r-19 scenes


Oh my god this story is INSANE I DIDNT EXPECT… i shouldve read this sooner and I am so tempted to read the Novel. The pain and the angst the FMC is experiencing :( I could understand why she was experiencing trust issues I WAS ABOUT TO THROW MY PHONE ACROSS THE ROOM BY THE END OF THE SEASON.

But this man bless his delicoous ass of a body. The FMC. I just love the flow of the story, but it was kind of too underwhelming on how the ughhhh so called mini villain went? Haha well thats just me. But I am still catching up with the next chapters and I NEED MORE. Its just getting juicier and juicier. She thought she could outsmart him, but mwhaha *evil laugh*

Sigh my heart STILL 🥲🥲🥲🥲

I need grovelling tho 🫠🫠🫠🫠

So glad Manta finally provided an official English translation for this novel. I’m a reader of the manhwa and have heard how good the novel is. Damien’s still a massive RED FLAG 🚩 but a well-written red flag nonetheless!!! Seeing his perspective was interesting and added more layers to the stuff I already knew happened. I also loved Chloe’s character and how even though she is a passive, dutiful character; she is not weak. Looking forward to seeing how their relationship develops in future volumes. The prose was also surprisingly great.

The male lead has so many red flags yet I can't stop reading this. Hoping for a redemption arc!

[Venus · Rating 5 out of 5]

10/10! It’s so good! He’s really evil and honestly she’s so strong! Willing to do anything for the people she loves! Can’t wait to read more <3

Best Korean romance web novel, I won't take that back !!!!

[Chichi · Rating 4 out of 5]

what a manipulating,conniving dictator, did you give in? Noooooo

Basically what s1 of betrayal of dignity manhwa is
Damien i found to be quite a fascinating ml bc a lot of the time red flag male leads in manhwa can be physically violent, unnecessarily aggressive, cold towards the female lead and the set up between the couple is family dislike, like it is very repetitive.
This subverts the usual historical manhwa tropes with that Damien is low-key is a narcissist and he had no family trauma to explain that neither trauma from outsiders. Damien just a freak for the sake of being one. Rather than having an angry, grumpy persona, he can be rather quite playful and witty as well as taunting and manipulative(manipulative is an understatement).Like framing her for murder than saving her so is unbelievably insaneeeeeeeee...all to try and get her affection, ecspcially when he said he wouldn't try and take advantage kf his power to do that.

I would describe the dynamic he has with Chloe as like cat and mouse.I like Chloe personality shes mature, smart and observant, she always knows exactly how to respond to Damien and despite her position it never feels like she a passive victim. Chloe deserves so much better than Damien and I wish she wasn't so sweet, knowing that will probs end up with each other. Although this dynamic is entertaining and I enjoy thier witty banter, I wish they were more equally morally debased uno something resembling trash belongs in the trashcan(another manhwa).

It started really strong it then it just didn’t go well. He didn’t deserve her and they didn’t even give him a good redemption arc it was just oh no she’s not dead and I will find her no matter what everyone says and completely ignored what he did or if she wanted to get back with him, he only cared to have her. They do make a better job with the extra chapters and I get why they hid them cause it would’ve been to obvious he did fall for her and the girls who like abusive romance wouldn’t be interested but i feel like they could’ve at least made more chapters of him regretting LIKE REALLY regretting her death and the lost baby cause it was NOTHING. Like what are these people teaching other people

[Livius · Rating 1 out of 5]

Read vol 1 and it was so bad. The protagonist needs to stop crying every second page, the author needs to stop writing about Damien's blue hand veins every single chapter and for god's sake damien isn't cruel. His words just bite, the girl is overly sensitive and he's completely nonsensical bc the writing is bad not bc he's a complex character. Save your money.

Betrayal of dignity
Season 1(1-30)

I love a good twisted ml, but not this kind bro. He a bit toooooo cray cray for me, might have to say buh bye to this one.







Spoiler








Like he totally framed her for murder so she’d sleep with him… that’s taking it too far man. All of his actions are planned and kinda hate it ngl.

[Ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

A strong FL love that, ML consistent in character. It was good but it felt rushed (I read the manwha) 81 episodes I wished there was more so that the story could have flowed better but overall good story and art.

Red flag guy and clueless girl trope.

[Geena · Rating 4 out of 5]

4/5

This that regency era toxic romance that only korean manwha can pull off!!!!!

[Aubrey · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'll just say this. Possessiveness is not love. The things Damian does to "win" her affection are messed up. Not my favorite read.

Read season 1. I didn’t mind the beginning, didn’t like the middle, hated the ending. I’ve dropped this series. I don’t like manipulative asshole main characters.
