Description
Xia Ke is a rare, powerful magician in modern society. Because he was so poor that he could only eat instant noodles he decided to perform an ancient ritual magic. This ritual magic allows the caster to legally and reasonably own a huge fortune that can never be spent. Two days later, he was still waiting for the wealth to fall from the sky. Just when Xia Ke thought the magic didn’t work, his doorbell suddenly rang. A tall and handsome man stood in front of the door of his simple two-bedroom apartment holding a brand new marriage certificate in his hand. “Are you my husband?” Xia Ke: “…” Wait, the so-called legal acquisition of wealth means inexplicably entering into a marriage relationship with the richest man in the world? Is there a prenuptial agreement that is so strict that all property can be taken away upon divorce? There is something very wrong with this ritual magic! ~ Zhao Nao couldn’t understand why he suddenly had a husband when he woke up, and had even signed a completely unfair prenuptial agreement with him. “When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth.” After spending two days investigating the memories of everyone around him about this unknown husband, Zhao Nao came to the conclusion—— I must have lost my memory! He plucked up his courage and came to the door of Xia Ke’s residence. The beautiful boy wearing a weird robe looked at him confusedly, then looked at the marriage certificate in his hand. The glass bottle in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. Zhao Nao’s pupils shook. He had such a big reaction when he saw the marriage certificate! He still loves me!

My Thoughts on Abuse of Magic is Prohibited
"Abuse of Magic is Prohibited" promised a delightful blend of comedy, fantasy, and romance, and while it delivered on some fronts, my experience was a bit of a mixed bag.
First Impressions
Initially, I was charmed by the premise: a down-on-his-luck mage accidentally marries a wealthy CEO thanks to a magical mishap. The comedy of misunderstandings was genuinely funny, and I enjoyed watching the protagonist scramble to explain his situation while the CEO hilariously misinterprets everything. The cute factor was definitely high, especially with the mention of adorable, wand-wielding mice familiars!
What Works Well
The early chapters shine with lighthearted humor and a sweet, developing relationship. The male lead's earnestness and tendency to jump to wild conclusions about his "amnesia" created plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. I appreciated the author's attempt to weave in elements of fantasy, like vampires and angels, into a modern setting. The story definitely had the potential to be a fun, easy read.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, as the story progressed, I found myself getting increasingly lost in the plot. What started as a charming comedy of errors morphed into a confusing tangle of vampires, magic councils, and poorly explained backstories. The casual writing style, while initially appealing, ultimately undermined the impact of major plot points and character development. I also felt the romance lost its spark as the story focused more on the convoluted plot, and the characters seemed to act inconsistently.

Final Verdict
While "Abuse of Magic is Prohibited" started strong with its comedic premise and charming characters, the confusing plot and inconsistent character development ultimately detracted from my enjoyment. The first few chapters are worth a read for a lighthearted laugh, but be prepared for the story to lose its way as it progresses. If you're looking for a quick, easy read with minimal plot complexity, this might still be up your alley. However, if you prefer well-developed plots and consistent character arcs, you might find yourself disappointed.
