"My in laws are much too obsessed with me, which is a problem. "

Aaaaah this story was so good!! The way that all the characters are so realistically portrayed and their relationships are developed and the way that she went about enacting her revenge... it is all so good! And yes, there are a lot of stories like this, but this one is something really great!!

the art is immaculate. i said 'dark' because this manhwa explores some darker themes quite well. while it doesn't go into extreme depth nor is it profoundly graphic, the expressions and the panelling give it a sense of maturity that isn't often seen with manwhas of this type. i enjoyed the way that it explored the familial dynamic, as well as touching on the

'cult' that appears at the hand of the princess.

it's a bit of a longer read because of its weekly release schedule, but i definitely enjoyed this one.

I really enjoyed this manhwa and it's story. The art style is lovely (I love that the male lead looks somewhat vampiric) and the relationship between the female lead and male lead's young son is great. I'm really curious to see what happens with the plot twist at the end of this season

the "religious cult" that appears to have been formed from those that regressed after being poisoned by the family blood

. I primarily give it a 4/5 because it felt somewhat slow in certain areas, although that might be because of it's weekly release schedule - I definitely think it can be a bit hard to gauge a story's pacing if you're consumption of it is based on a weekly schedule.

Definitely considering reading the webnovel after this since I'll be a bit too impatient to wait for the next season!

Blood is explicitly shown on multiple occasions in relation to war, injuries, death/murder, and the

one of the female children being used and abused to harvest her blood to be sold as poison

one character drugging another's beverage to leave him incapacitated and vulnerable

the male lead's family having a blood curse that causes them to have strong bouts of illness and is believed to eventually be fatal
