Description

I have never been loved since I was born. So I was curious about what it feels like to be loved. “Your Highness, please love me for just one year.” I asked him to fall under a spell that would make him love me for just one year. In return, I would give him information that could change his future. “I can see the future through foresight.” I didn’t bother to mention that the price was my own lifespan. Anyway, I wasn’t planning to live long. “I accept that proposal.” So I married him, and 11 months passed. There was less than a month left. Of my lifespan, and his love. “The contract will end soon.” “……I see.” “Don’t worry. The spell will definitely be broken.” “That’s not what I’m worried about. Let’s talk about this later.” “Alright.” But that ‘later’ never came. For some reason, the spell broke early, and I had to prepare to leave. I thought everything would be settled by leaving a letter and departing from his side. He wouldn’t want to see the face of a woman he was forced to love, even for the last time. But a week later, an unbelievable rumor reached my ears. He was looking for me.

My Thoughts on After Cinderella’s Spell is Broken

"After Cinderella's Spell is Broken" definitely intrigued me with its premise. While the rating might seem a bit lukewarm at first glance, I found myself drawn in by the unique spin on the classic fairytale. It's an adult fantasy romance that delves into the aftermath of the "happily ever after," exploring the complexities of a marriage born from different social statuses.

First Impressions

The story sets itself apart immediately. It's not your typical Cinderella retelling. Instead, it dives into the gritty reality of Ellen's life after the ball, focusing on her contract marriage with Grand Duke Enoch. I appreciated the slow-burn romance, which allows for a deeper exploration of the characters and their motivations. I also found myself getting quickly invested in the characters themselves, and the world they inhabit.

What Works Well

What I really enjoyed was the character development, especially regarding Ellen. She's not just a damsel in distress; she faces her challenges with resilience and gradually grows throughout the story. Enoch, the Grand Duke, is also a compelling character. He's introduced as a brooding misanthrope, but his possessiveness and protectiveness towards Ellen add layers to his personality, even verging into yandere territory which might appeal to some readers. The story excels in dramatic irony, keeping me engaged and eager to see how the characters would navigate their complicated relationship.
