Description
Cordelia, who was sold into marriage and subjected to various humiliations, finally saw a way to escape this hell when her husband, who lacked character, manners, and intelligence, fell into a coma after an accident. “O’ sacred star, please kill my husband.” However, it seemed that her prayers had been answered in an unexpected way. Her husband woke up but lost all his memories. Cordelia saw this as an opportunity, but… “Please sign here. You were eager to finalise the divorce before this, remember?” “Heh, a divorce agreement. I’m sure you know why this upstart family welcomed you as a bride.” There’s no way my husband was this astute! She deduced that something unimaginable must have entered his body. He was presumed dead; it’s a chance she won’t get again. “Don’t you think your personal circumstances and ‘just divorced’ are incompatible given the circumstances?” She threatened, putting her life on the line. She desired to learn magic from the great wizard and use it to secure a better life after her divorce. But she made a mistake, and that was underestimating her opponent’s temper. “As my student, you should study and only sleep three hours a day.” “Read five theses together, and you’ll be done in no time.”

My Thoughts on I Wish My Husband Were Dead
I dove into I Wish My Husband Were Dead with a healthy dose of skepticism, but I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. The premise alone – a wife instantly recognizing her husband has been body-snatched – is a breath of fresh air in a genre often riddled with oblivious protagonists.
First Impressions
Right off the bat, the story grabbed my attention. The initial setup is intriguing: her husband wakes up from a coma, but he's… different. And not in a "reformed man" kind of way. I was immediately hooked by the mystery surrounding the new "husband" and the dynamic between him and the female lead.
What Works Well
What I appreciate most is the intelligence of the female lead. She's not some damsel in distress; she immediately picks up on the change in her husband's behavior and attitude. Her skepticism and cautious approach to the "new" husband feel incredibly realistic. The narrative doesn't force a romance, either, and that's a huge win for me. The focus is on their precarious situation and the alliance they're forced to forge, which creates a compelling and complex relationship. I also found the "new husband" to be quite interesting. He's not your typical charming male lead; he's described as irascible and picky, but still a vast improvement over the original husband. This adds depth and nuance to his character, making him more believable and engaging.
Areas of Concern
My main concern, and it's a significant one, is the translation status. It appears the translation hasn't been updated in several months, which is a real shame. The story is well-written, and the world-building, while not overly detailed, is sufficient for the eleven chapters available. I really hope the translator picks it up again soon because the story has a lot of potential.
Final Verdict
Despite the translation hiatus, I'm giving I Wish My Husband Were Dead a solid recommendation. The unique premise, intelligent characters, and intriguing plot make it a worthwhile read. If you're looking for a fantasy romance with a clever protagonist and a refreshing twist on the body-swap trope, this might be right up your alley. Just be prepared for a potential cliffhanger and a long wait for updates.
