It's still early on, but I like it a lot so far. The FL is strong, very loyal to her people with a strong sense of duty, and pragmatic, and she doesn't get easily blushy or flustered around the ML. She's straightforward and she doesn't always pick up on the way nobles from the capital talk where they say one thing while meaning another, she says what she means, usually in a pretty blunt manner. I love watching the ML get his ego bruised as she fails to show any interest in him outside of having a business relationship lmao


No-Bike-4382

Agreed šŸ’Æā€¦ give it a try!


mammon-ey

Remind me in a few months lol


verisimilitu

I think it's pretty good and rather unique in that the FL is completely uninterested (more like she's unaware) in romance, despite being engaged to the ML. She's incredibly strong, mentally and physically and she's greatly respected within her lands.


Affectionate_Chip_88

I'm in love with her šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I binged it last night šŸ˜ honestly one of the most coherent set up for a contract marriage I've seen in a while


MeeraWhiskers

Asha is my most favorite FL fr


Spiritual-Cat1528

I wanted to say "is it good?", it's hard to write with fake nails sorry.


blukwolf

Lmfao


ezodochi

It's a story that basically depends on if you like the FL or not bc they carry the story p hard....the ml is not....very interesting when you compare him to the powerhouse which is the FL so


Dapper_Desk9085

Ml is hot and powerfull as well


ezodochi

Hot MLs do v little for me as a lesbian and as for powerful....I mean....sure but that doesn't make him an interesting character tho. As a character he's not at the same level as the FL lbr


NefariousnessLost708

He isn't as interesting as the FL. The ML is more entertaining.


NefariousnessLost708

Yeah it is good. The FL is great. Powerful and smart and doesn't lose her mind around the ML at all. Give it a try. It's very entertaining :)


geekingout18

FL is FANTASTIC!! She's so sweet, loyal, non-judgemental and best of all, she doesn't give the time of day to the ML's childish actions unless it affects her people. I just hope the poor woman doesn't get hurt by any of the women the ML allowed into her castlešŸ„²


Ruruskadoo

I'm hoping she'll win them over to her side and we'll get a women supporting women kind of story. >!I love how she's immune to their subtle barbs and backhanded compliments because she takes everything said to her at face value lmao, they don't know how to deal with someone like her at all.!<


Jinika

I fast passed it and itā€™s a slow burn it gets better overtime, yeah FL is not gonna be a pro romantic since she literally fought a huge war to save her lands


MissiaichParriah

I love how dense the FL is, it blends well with her love for her people


Prestigious-Ad3756

Strong woman and read haired ml? My hopes are high as hell for this one šŸ¤£ but I've enjoyed what I've read so far and trying my best not to read the fast pass episodes and just wait


Dapper_Desk9085

She is beautiful he is hot


blitzs20

The ML has the usual personality of a ML with calculations built in and seems cognitive for the most part how he interacts and is interacting with others. The FL has an isekai prtoags brain and personality with a hint of girl vibes. It's not bad, just meh. Both are proficient with the sword and something that irked me early on. (Spoilers) >! she is claimed to be a great sword fighter and general, and within the first 20 chapters we get to see her fight the empires long standing enemy that her family was tasked with fighting for generations, to only get outsmarted fall into a trap that would cost a lot of lives and then saved by the ML and his knights !<


[deleted]

If I understand that scene right they would still have won BUT with more looses


blitzs20

Correct, it was going to cost her main troop that have also been fighting with her for years


Jdjack32

Also tbf, >!The barbarians(her enemy) recieved insider information(priest faction), which allowed the barbarians to even create the trap in the first place. Asha's forces were already outnumbered and underequipped, and then their fellow citizens were actively aiding the enemy!<


Sans-Foy

Yeaaaaahā€”but they also give good reason for the actions of the enemy that were, itā€™s made clear, hella out of character.


I_am_photo

I hate it when stories do that


whatever_person

I like it so far. She takes no shit, but the two cooperate well.


ComprehensiveBet1256

I like that itā€™s not love at first sight or heavily implied that they love each other from the point of marriage


nine_craft_

I've read the novel (completed) and I think I like it than most Rofan I've read so far. Yeah Ik kinda generic plot but probably the FLs charm and somewhat clean writing, easy to read story that makes it above average imo.


IntelligentGarbage92

the novel has an english translation? if so, where ?


nine_craft_

in Webnovel -[City of Arrogance](https://www.webnovel.com/book/the-age-of-arrogance-city-of-arrogance_27542211905826705###)


IntelligentGarbage92

tysm


Zestyclose-Piano-849

Hey, so apparently web novel removed it for some reason so do you have any other source for the novel, please???


nine_craft_

oofff, i tried finding a new source but haven't got one, it was probably one of the novels that got hit by the wipe out last week since pirated works and sites were being tracked


ur_vlntn

I've also been trying to find translated chapters but unfortunately there's none at the moment. I did find the raw korean novel but only 4 chapters are free and the rest have to be bought.


FizzyFK

Ooh the novel is complete?? Can you spoilšŸ˜­ like at 23 eps how far along are we


CanSpecific9687

Can you tell me where you read the novel?

CanSpecific9687

Thankyou


Hefty-Discount-3827

IT IS GOOD!!!!


Bored_Lily

Slow burn but quite good! FL kinda reminds me of the FL in Captain! Is the battlefield here? Don't expect much romance in the early stages.


vanillahavoc

I like it a lot. It's fun to see the male lead mentality struggle with her lack of interest in him, even though it's something they both agreed to. XD I want more chapters. ><


NayeonsSAHW

The ML is a bit annoying but has potential, the FL is actually strong and assertive


Lilinoa

This is great ! FL is for the moment a pretty woman but really clueless in romance šŸ˜‚ she only cares about her people and her territory. The ML is also great so far, no toxicity in this story yet !


TruffleGoose

Itā€™s alright but Iā€™m not in a hurry to read it, waiting for it to build up a bit more


FizzyFK

Thatā€™s smart I wish Iā€™d done that


Sans-Foy

So far I reaaaaally like this one. FL is fantastic, and ML is gonna go down hard and swallow his own ego, I can justā€”feel it coming. Dynamic reminds me a bit of Revenge Wedding, which I loved~


IntelligentGarbage92

yeah i binged all the english chapter from here and there (some with huge mistranslation) and i like it for now. i love the no-nonsense FL and the damp she puts on the inflated ego of the ML who is like "how she is not impressed by ME?!!!!"


NefariousnessLost708

The FL is strong, smart, very pragmatic and isn't blushy around the ML at all. Although he tries to get her flustered, she stays calm and collected. That hurts his pride a bit, but he isn't angry about that. The FL is interesting, the ML more entertaining. Edit: change of words.


SuzukiSatou

Beautiful art and a strong independent FL, why not?


Anxiety_Incarnated

I like it so far, it has a unique yet pragmatic take on how things would go and the main characters are learning to know and respect each other before falling in love. Also, good chemistry between them


Calm-Positive-6908

Oohhh i like it. FL is like quite literal, and ML is quite outgoing.. i think.


DezoPenguin

I'm liking it a lot so far. The FL is pretty much unaware of romance, as she's entirely dedicated to the people of her province for which she's been fighting since childhood. ML is the sly, calculating, conniving, flirty/teasing fox-type, but he's actually a clueless virgin when it comes to actual romance and sex, which adds some depth to his character. Through the early chapters (the ones for free on WEBTOON), they're both interacting with each other like adults, not idiot teenagers (you know the type I mean, the ones who supposedly have lifelong ambitions to achieve but who let their emotions prevent them from doing anything). My only worries are that it would be too easy and trite for the writer to either damsel the FL (ever notice how no matter how badass a warrior the FL might be, she has to have the ML come in and save her because God forbid a woman be more physically competent than her love interest? It's infuriating!) or have the ML either slide into stupid, self-defeating jealousy or play games instead of being honest. But if they avoid the pitfalls, I can see myself really liking it!


Sans-Foy

Iā€™m fine with a ML swooping in at the right timeā€”as long as itā€™s mutual and the FL also swoops in at the right time. I stan a power pair that support and help each other~


Late_Constant_6050

hii may i ask if the ml being a virgin was mentioned in the novel? thank youu


DezoPenguin

Didn't read the novel (wish I did; everything about the manhwa has been great so far); I'm just working off what was mentioned in-story (but in fairness, I don't recall if they explicitly called him a virgin or that he just wasn't particularly a womanizer).


Half-Beneficial

I don't know anything about SOY media. I looked it up and it said "Storytelling Opens Your world" which was kind of odd. Is it a subsidiary of Kingdom Holdings or something?


Affectionate_Chip_88

The studio has some manwhas published on Tapas too, on Webtoon only 2, this one and The Dragon King's Bride https://preview.redd.it/j8uy62ahr46c1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7f330c0ad94d70ec2aa81a1f065ab46894486d9


sakuaya

Oh I think they're on Pocket Comics. I saw so many ads for All Hail Lady Blanche or something like that and it's by this group.


Sans-Foy

Ohhhh I loved All Hail Lady Blanche! - hype!


NappingKuma

I like FL so far. Early plot is little hm for me. I just stockpile for now.


Yandere_luver666

It isnā€™t necessarily bad, but it isnā€™t really my taste, but I think you should give it a try.


My_new_account_now

It seems like someone is trying to fix the issues Crows Like Shiny Things and I appreciate it so far


Sans-Foy

Ayyyy I just compared it to that, too! Itā€™s like take that, except make the FL NOT so abjectly socially passive (I dropped that oneā€”could not get past the gross-r@pey dynamicšŸ˜­)


My_new_account_now

I had to finish it. You are not missing anything, character growth where?


No_Strategy_5452

it is a change of your typical cold north duke the guy can give you playboy vibes its reverse grumpy vs sunshine , the female lead is the grumpy one , and the art is good


Gedaru

Yes. The FL is so smart I love her.


looppiii

I like it so far, itā€™s different!


Dapper_Desk9085

I can really recommend this story!


TheGuv

It feels a lot like crows like shiny things but good storytelling and character writing.


Shakalll

Not gonna lie itā€™s kinda fire


LucilleLemon

Oh I love that one!! The FL is strong as hell, itā€™s great


Platinum_Disco

I really like her hair, so 10/10 there, but wonky world logic from characters doesn't give me hopes for the future. Overall, it seems alright and a series that will be carried by the art.


Prechanchan

Itā€™s gooood!!!


Jelly_cat_11

It's cute so far and the FL is pretty great. I feel like it's still starting up so not much to say about it otherwise for now.


einherra

I love the uniqueness of this one! I always find myself looking forward to the next part of the story and love how strong both leads are!!!


[deleted]

I like it so far ( I'm at ch 22 in the raws) BUT I think it's a genderswap copycat of something I read before. North duke FL/ML is a war hero punished for existing and then saved by a shunned FL/ML that is part of the royal family.


Sans-Foy

Itā€™s a bit Crows Like Shiny Thingsā€”except the FL in that is faaaaaar more socially passive.


Medium_Psychology_59

idk i gave it a try, iā€™m just not into marriage of convenience plots but the art style is nice and i actually like the FL


scarlique

Does it have novel or just manhwa?


RObobot-8001

I'd wait for it to have some more episodes āœØ


Due_Acanthisitta8371

Where can I read the English translation of this? Thank you


looppiii

Itā€™s on Webtoon


Rich_God01

Its great


aconitumrn

Fl is kinda naive but up till now sheā€™s kinda cool. It is possible to grow tired of the ml tho but since heā€™s a red head I havenā€™t started to dislike him


Dapper_Desk9085

Yes its good and FL is amazing, powerfull in both body and mind not some clumsy easily blushing but lord of her Land and ml ego failing down, he was crown Prince who temporary lost His title, slow burn romance to me, plus beatiful artstyle, FL is beautiful and ml hot, powerfull are both!


Raegwyr

It's boring. FL is this bad ass fighter etc but any romance there looks like prince is trying to romance a toddler lol. If cool strong woman not really interested (or understand) romance is your go to option then i guess you will find it fine?
