Description
Right in front of the prince, who had come to take her away with the glass slipper in hand, Cinderella elopes with the wizard! The prince, who couldn’t leave empty handed lest he become a laughingstock, decided to take Cinderella’s not mean stepsister with him instead. They returned to the castle, got married, and lived happily ever after…Not! You’re not going to love me? Of course, I know that. I’m just aiming for a peaceful divorce with tons of alimony. Feel free to get a mistress or concubine in the meantime. The new princess enjoys her peaceful palace life, managing her field and fishing, but for some reason, the prince’s cold attitude begins to thaw…? This is the story of Cinderella’s older stepsister, whose feet won’t fit the glass slipper and who doesn’t have a pumpkin carriage, reluctantly marrying the prince, while trying to find her own happiness. *This story is the serialized version of the one-shot with the same name.

My Thoughts on Cinderella’s Older Sister Reluctantly Marries the Prince The Substitute Princess’ Peaceful Life in the Detached Palace
First Impressions
Okay, so "Cinderella’s Older Sister Reluctantly Marries the Prince" is quite a mouthful, but the premise definitely grabbed my attention. A substitute princess finding love in a detached palace? Sounds like a recipe for some heartwarming and comedic moments. I dove in expecting a lighthearted fairytale twist, and for the most part, that's what I got.
What Works Well
The story is undeniably sweet and simple. If you're looking for something to unwind with after a long day, this could be it. I found myself chuckling at the misunderstandings and enjoying the "mofumofu healing" moments that were mentioned. The gradual development of the relationship between the main characters is also well-done. It's a story about pining and eventual reciprocation, which is a trope I personally enjoy. The author does a good job of creating a cozy atmosphere, making it easy to get lost in the world.
Areas of Concern
I do have to admit, the Prince's initial behavior wasn't ideal. Some find his actions problematic, particularly the forced marriage and the initial coldness towards the MC. While he does eventually redeem himself, it's understandable why some readers might find it hard to completely forgive his early actions. Additionally, the MC isn't the most proactive character, which might not appeal to everyone. She starts with an inferiority complex, and while she grows, she might come across as a bit passive for some tastes.

It's perfect if you're in the mood for a simple romance with fairytale elements and don't mind some initial angst. While the Prince's initial actions and the MC's passivity might not appeal to everyone, the story's sweetness and heartwarming moments make it an enjoyable experience for those seeking a lighthearted escape. Just be aware of the potential issues beforehand, and you'll be able to appreciate the story for what it is.
