Another 'feel-good fav' of mine! Love, love love this story! Typically in otome iseaki/historical fantasy romance mangas when a fiance is neglected the plot pushes the FL to either find a new better fiance, prove to her current fiance that she's at least worthy of his attention, or laments the tragedy of her situation . Instead of doing any of that Nicole - our lovely neglected fiance - decides to stop expecting anything from her indifferent fiance and with that decision she realizes that she has the freedom to explore her own interests . Nicole and her fiance Lord Caius's perspectives are shown which shows how differently they view their relationship. It's a great story about a young women within aristocratic society discovering her independence after experiencing heartbreak, though I doubt the story will end with them apart.

I'm not going to spoil too much since I don't want to ruin the experience for anyone else but I have to gush about Rubelia! She is the absolute best, her dramatics are soooo fun. Initially her character is kinda set up to be this "villainess" or snobby classmate of Nicoles but she is nothing of the sort. I'd love a spin-off just exploring her love life !
