Description
Although she was an innocent woman who did not know the world, Rowena fell into a love trap and became the mistress of Duke Killian. She devoted her body and mind to him for three years, but she was thrown away with repeated contempt and misunderstanding. One day she secretly gave birth to his child and lived in hiding like a sinner. After five years, he returned like nothing ever happened. “Long time no see. Miss Philone.” “… … Don’t you remember throwing money at me and throwing me away?” “I threw it away, so I have to pick it up.” Killian smiled, responding lightly. The cold eyes turned to the door where the child was hiding. “I didn’t expect that you would be so quick, but in the meantime, it must have been sweet.” “… … .” “Choose. Miss Philone.” A man who lifted my cheeks with a glance of appreciation of the object reported. “Will you be my mistress again, or will you die with your child on the street?”

My Thoughts on The Mistress Runs Away
"The Mistress Runs Away" is a web novel that certainly evokes strong reactions, and after diving into it, I can see why. It's a story packed with drama, romance, and a healthy dose of angst, but it's not without its flaws.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise – a young woman navigating the complexities of a relationship with a powerful duke, set against a backdrop of aristocracy and potential betrayal. The European ambience and promise of a strong female lead piqued my interest. However, as I delved deeper, I found myself questioning some of the character's choices and the overall logic of the plot.
What Works Well
Despite some criticisms, the translation quality seems to be a high point, with several readers praising its excellence. The storyline, while frustrating at times, does manage to keep you hooked, even if it's just to see how the characters will navigate their messy situations. The angst and misunderstandings are definitely dialed up, and if you enjoy yelling at your screen, this might be your cup of tea. Some readers appreciate the flawed nature of the characters, arguing that it makes them more realistic, as people often make rash and emotional decisions.
Areas of Concern
However, the female lead's naiveté is a recurring issue. I found myself questioning her decisions, particularly why she didn't seek help from her wealthy uncle, a successful novelist, when faced with debt. Her choices sometimes felt illogical, driven more by pride or a thirst for a "hot guy" than common sense.
The male lead also raises some red flags. He's portrayed as powerful, yet easily manipulated, which feels contradictory. The relationship between the leads is often described as toxic, with the ML exhibiting misogynistic tendencies and the FL enduring mistreatment. It's a slow-burn angst fest that can be frustrating to read.

Final Verdict
"The Mistress Runs Away" is a mixed bag. It offers a compelling storyline and well-translated prose, but it's marred by illogical character choices, a frustratingly naive female lead, and a potentially toxic relationship. If you're looking for a lighthearted read with perfectly rational characters, this isn't it. However, if you enjoy high drama, angst, and aren't afraid to question the characters' decisions, you might find yourself entertained, albeit frustrated, by this novel. I'd say approach with caution and be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions.
