Description
Tiana, a timid girl whose magical power continues to decrease year by year, suffered a life of ab*se due to her being an incompetent, powerless saint. Driven away to an empire called the ‘Cursed Land’, she almost got killed on the journey which caused her to remember her previous life as the great saint of the empire, Else. “Oh? A little bit of my magic power is coming back…?” Tiana was welcomed as an empress, and her husband, Felix, was the beautiful emperor and her protégé in her previous life. “A contract marriage until I stabilize the country, and you will be my wife only by name. Once this ends, I will free you from the role and guarantee you no hardships for the rest of your life.” (He used to be so small… and wow, what a generous offer!) Tiana was extremely busy in her previous life and was ab*sed in this life. She vowed to save the falling country, but she’s also hiding her identity to live a leisurely life. “I have someone I love. I will live my whole life with only Else on my mind.” (Um, that’s me from my previous life…) As Tiana grew closer to Felix in her current life, she also found out that her lack of magic power and the empire’s curse was related…!? This is the story of Tiana, who used to be a powerless saint, reclaiming what was stolen from her and finding herself surrounded by many precious things.

My Thoughts on As I Awakened from Being a Hollow Saint, I Will Fully Enjoy This Hopeless Contract Marriage!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I’m diving into "As I Awakened from Being a Hollow Saint, I Will Fully Enjoy This Hopeless Contract Marriage!" And honestly, that title is a journey in itself. But does the story live up to the name? Let's find out.
First Impressions
From the get-go, this web novel screams "fluffy romance with a dash of fantasy." The premise is intriguing: a saintess suddenly realizing she's been… well, hollow, and deciding to actually enjoy her life, starting with a contract marriage. It's got all the hallmarks of a classic shoujo setup: a beautiful female lead, a handsome male lead, and a whole lot of potential for heartwarming moments.
What Works Well
What immediately grabbed me was the focus on communication. So many stories rely on manufactured misunderstandings for drama, but this one seems to actively avoid that trope. The characters actually talk to each other, which is a breath of fresh air. It really makes the relationship feel more genuine and less like a series of contrived plot points. The found family aspect is also a strong point. Seeing the characters support each other and build genuine connections adds a layer of warmth to the story that I really appreciated. There's a certain sweetness to the whole thing, leaning into the "cheesy" side of romance, but sometimes that's exactly what you need after a long day.
Areas of Concern
While the focus on communication is great, the plot can feel a little… predictable at times. The "love interest falls in love first" trope is definitely in full swing, which, while enjoyable for some, might feel a bit cliché for others. I also wonder if the "hopeless contract marriage" part of the title fully delivers on the angst it promises. It leans more towards lighthearted than dramatic, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it's something to be aware of going in.
Final Verdict
Overall, "As I Awakened from Being a Hollow Saint, I Will Fully Enjoy This Hopeless Contract Marriage!" is a charming and sweet read. If you're looking for a story with minimal angst, a focus on healthy relationships, and a good dose of fluffy romance, this might be right up your alley. Just be prepared for a bit of cheese and a predictable plot. But hey, sometimes a little predictability is exactly what the heart wants.
