Description
Under the order of his father, Urien Martritz (18) had to marry Rodrick Edel (27), the kingdom’s most fearsome and ruthless warrior. No noble dared to propose a marriage to the young, yet formidable duke, all due to the rumors surrounding him; him having a hideous face, him having extremely pe*verted tendencies, his violent nature to kill anyone who opposes him, and so on… And yet, he proposed a marriage with Urien Martritz. However, Urien himself was known as a man-sl*t. Due to his younger brother, Arnault’s influence, Urien, who had been branded as someone who’d seduce any men he could lay his hands on, arrived at the duke’s mansion with nothing but the clothes on his back to fulfill his father’s order. There, Rodrick presented a ‘contract marriage’ to him. First, the contract period was two years, Second, they weren’t to interfere with each others’ lives. “There’s no need for love between us.” Despite Rodrick’s cold words, Urien was overjoyed. Because as long as he could fulfil this contract, his wish would definitely come true.

Even if He Confesses His Love, Our Marriage is Already Over, No? Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Even if He Confesses His Love, Our Marriage is Already Over, No?
"Even if He Confesses His Love, Our Marriage is Already Over, No?" certainly piqued my interest with its intriguing title and blend of adult, drama, and fantasy elements. Diving in, I found myself drawn to the core concept, even if the execution wasn't always perfect.
First Impressions
The initial setup is what really grabbed me: an arranged marriage, a cold male lead, and a protagonist seemingly resigned to its inevitable end. It’s a well-trodden trope, for sure, but one that, when done right, can be incredibly compelling. I was curious to see how the author would navigate these familiar waters and put their own spin on the story.
What Works Well
The dynamic between the misunderstood main character and the gradually softening male lead is definitely a highlight. Watching their relationship evolve, albeit slowly, provides a satisfying emotional core. I appreciated the absence of overly annoying side characters, which allowed the central relationship to remain the primary focus. The supporting characters, particularly the male lead's brother, added depth without detracting from the main plot, which I found refreshing. Plus, the pet lizard? Absolutely adorable and responsible for some genuinely touching moments.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overarching plot, I found the writing a little wanting at times. It felt like the story could have been fleshed out more, with greater attention to detail and world-building. I also think that while the cliches were enjoyable, they weren't always overcome in the most unique ways, which is a bit of a missed opportunity.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Even if He Confesses His Love, Our Marriage is Already Over, No?" is a worthwhile read if you're in the mood for a chill, slightly cliché story with a focus on character development and a slowly blossoming romance. While the writing isn't perfect, the storyline and characters are engaging enough to keep you invested, especially if you enjoy the "cold male lead softens" trope. I'd give it a solid recommendation for those looking for a comforting and heartwarming read.
