Description

Rosaline Marte, an ordinary noble lady. Like everyone else, she had a political marriage and was living peacefully, but she was killed by her husband’s mistress. Then, she woke up to find herself returned to two months before her marriage. With little time left until the wedding, she resigned herself to the fact that nothing could be changed. “Your marriage to Marquis Addis is going to be canceled.” “What…?” Suddenly, she received a notice of the breakup, and soon after, talks of marriage with another person began. “I understand you were engaged. In the meantime, I was afraid someone else might appear with courage, so I acted rashly. Embarrassingly, I am a bit older.” Lucas Bryant, the Emperor’s only full-blooded brother, a great mage, and a war hero. Rosaline is bewildered as to why someone perfect in status and wealth would be so desperate for her. “I swear by the title given to me by His Majesty the Emperor and the mana flowing in my body. I will remain loyal and faithful to you. Please, marry me.” “Gladly. I accept your proposal.” In the end, Rosaline decided to trust the man’s trembling fingertips, his posture of humility, and his desperate plea for marriage in front of many people.

My Thoughts on I Thought It Was An Arranged Marriage

First Impressions

"I Thought It Was An Arranged Marriage" immediately pulled me in with its promise of a fantasy romance set against a European-esque backdrop. The arranged marriage trope is one I often enjoy, and the added layer of a female protagonist navigating noble society intrigued me. I was definitely curious to see how the author would balance the romance and fantasy elements, especially with the 'smut' tag in the mix.

What Works Well

One of the strongest aspects of this novel is how the author handles the characters' trauma. I appreciated that the story doesn't shy away from exploring the emotional baggage both Rosie and Lucas carry. Rosie's introspective nature and her way of processing her past life's experiences felt very believable to me. It's refreshing to see a character who is both socially adept and introverted, a combination that makes her interactions within the noble setting all the more compelling. The balance between plot and smut is also well-managed; the story doesn't get bogged down in explicit content, allowing the narrative to breathe and develop. Lucas, with his subtly yandere tendencies, is a fascinating character, and I found the author's approach to revealing his personality through actions rather than just telling us about it to be quite effective.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the story overall, I did have a few minor reservations. Certain characters, such as Amelia, could have benefited from more nuanced development. Although her flaws are apparent, exploring the reasons behind her actions more deeply could have added another layer to the narrative.
