In a world where noble girls are expected to marry at the age of 16 years old, the female lead is headstrong lady who wants to start a business and be independent. Meanwhile, the male lead is a sly, charming tactician who is both good with words and numb to emotions which leads to interesting and frustrating misunderstandings.

I didn't think it would be that kind of book, but there were some spicy scenes, so I learned a lot of obscene words which was very interesting. 5 stars on language learning, haha.

What's troubling me is whether to recommend this or not. This is not a rom-com, it's more of a romance drama. The main characters and their interactions are interesting, however, there are a lot of misunderstandings going on, so I found it both entertaining and frustrating. Also, because of the "bet" between our main characters (which they both agreed on, mind you), (spoiler for the bet: one is pushing for lovemaking while the other is opposing). If not non-con, at least dub-con.

Entertainment: 3.5 stars.
