전쟁이 끝나 평화를 되찾은 스완튼 왕국의 남서쪽, 작은 영지를 가지고 있는 베르디에 가문은 심각한 재정난을 겪고 있다. 아들이 없는 자작가의 아름다운 둘째 딸 앨리스가 이번 사교 시즌에 훌륭한 신랑감을 맞이하는 것 외에는 집안을 살릴 방법이 없어 보인다.

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)

Betrayal of Dignity (manhwa)

Thank god it’s finally over—I wasn’t even a fan of this series, yet somehow, I devoured all the volumes in one go like I was possessed. I live for those wild, messy, toxic relationships in fiction, like, the ones that dive deep into the chaos, show the fallout, and make the characters realize they totally screwed up. But I cannot stand when they try to pass it off as some perfect love story with a ‘happily ever after’ that has no real growth or redemption. This thing? It had the nerve to paint all the abuse and manipulation like it was some epic, true love. And that totally ruined it for me. A tragic waste… though, the art was absolutely breathtaking.

"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 !!!!

[Ana · Rating 1 out of 5]

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.

Red flag guy and clueless girl trope.

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.
