Marienne is simply perplexed at her husband Duke Alexias's extreme shift in behavior. He's known for his cruelty. Marienne, too, has received nothing from him but neglect since their engagement. She's resigned herself to being a mistreated prisoner in his home. So then, why? Why would he suddenly profess his love to her and propose to her in earnest? Especially since they're ALREADY married?!

A bejeweled bouquet of flowers, courtship akin to that of a fairy tale prince, being addressed as his GODDESS?! There seems to be no end. But despite Marienne's bewilderment, Alexia's sincerity somehow cuts through his bungling displays, and his words of affection begin to thaw her lonely heart.

Unbeknownst to Marienne, her once ruthless and unfeeling husband has "returned" from the brink of death. But what could've caused this change of heart? Why is he so desperate to ensure her happiness? And most importantly, will he be able to do right by Marienne this time?

    Story of a Deeply Tender Transformative Experience
    This review contains spoilers. The earliest chapters present pretty typical psuedo-historical romance fluff but it's still somewhat charming. However, the chapters that reveal the reason behind the transformation in the Duke's behavior are thought provoking and evocative. I've rarely seen a story of redemption so grounded in human experience. He doesn't change because of one brief experience that shifted his perspective but because of an extended experience that broke down his world view and self worth before building it up again. Once you understand the impetus, his change in behavior is completely believable. Someone who when through what he did could very realistically respond the way that he did. This is a VERY worthwhile read.

Minyoung

A second chance to do right by her
A twist on the "kind girl thaws the heart of the cool and aloof prince" trope. It's a tale of starting over and setting things right, but from the male lead's perspective. It's an interesting journey learning what exactly spurred Alexias's sudden one-eighty. It never gets too heavy, though, as Alexias's eccentric displays in the "present day scenes" are sure to bring a chuckle out of you.
