Description
Dietrich, who was born as the first prince of the newly emerging kingdom of Estline, lost his feelings due to his mother’s mistreatment and was called a “cold-blooded prince” by those around him. He was ridiculed. When Dietrich was thirteen years old, he met a girl. It is “Marguerite,” the daughter of the Marquise of Friedenreich and Dietrich’s fiancée. At first, Dietrich does not like Marguerite, but she is devoted to him despite her clumsiness, and Dietrich gradually forgives her. When they were both seventeen years old, the king died. In the midst of the unrest in the country, Dietrich is crowned the new king, and at the same time, he asks Marguerite to break her engagement. In this way, he wants to prevent any misfortune from befalling her. Later, Dietrich is overthrown from the throne by his brother “Oscar”. Thereupon, he was sentenced to death. When Dietrich is on the guillotine and about to die, he sees Marguerite in the crowd, praying desperately. Dietrich dies, murmuring words of apology and gratitude to her. But… When he opens his eyes again, he is somehow transported back to the day of his engagement to Marguerite. Dietrich makes a vow. “This time I will make her happy.” This is the story of a man struggling to make his fiancée happy in a world where he has returned from death and is finally called the wise king.

My Thoughts on The Clumsy Cold-Blooded Prince, Who Lost His Life Due to His Brother’s Scheming, Became the Wise King After Fighting in His Second Life for the Clumsy Marchioness
Okay, that title is a mouthful, but I dove into "The Clumsy Cold-Blooded Prince..." with an open mind, and I have some thoughts. Overall, it seems like a decent read if you're in the mood for something light and fluffy, but it definitely has its quirks.
First Impressions
Initially, I was a little worried. The premise is intriguing, a prince reborn with a second chance to get things right after being betrayed. I was quickly pulled in by the first few chapters, but some readers have expressed concerns about the protagonist's intelligence and the potential for a shallow plot. I can see where they're coming from – the "clumsy" aspect is played up quite a bit, and it could easily become grating.
What Works Well
The romance is definitely a highlight. The interactions between the prince and the marchioness, while awkward at first, are undeniably sweet and endearing. It's a slow burn, a gradual warming up that feels genuine. I appreciated that the story avoids the harem trope, focusing instead on a devoted relationship. I also found myself enjoying the prince's internal monologues, which add a layer of charm to his character. The European setting and noble backdrop create a nice, escapist atmosphere.
Areas of Concern
The biggest issue I encountered was the pacing. While the initial chapters are engaging, some found the middle section repetitive, with excessive "fluff" rehashing already established relationship dynamics. This repetition can detract from the political intrigue, which several readers felt was underdeveloped. The ending, while satisfying for some, left others wanting more, feeling that certain plot threads were left unresolved.

Final Verdict
"The Clumsy Cold-Blooded Prince..." is a decent choice if you're looking for a light, fluffy romance with a touch of political intrigue. It's not groundbreaking, and it has its flaws, particularly in pacing and plot development. However, the charming characters and sweet romance make it an enjoyable read, especially if you're in the mood for something undemanding. I'd recommend it as a relaxing, easy read, but don't expect a complex or deeply challenging story.
