Plot summary: Pereshati, murdered by her family and lover, returns to her past-self's body before her murder and makes to set things right. She meets the Lapileon family, one with an old, rich bloodline -- old, rich, toxic, and cursed. And she marries its Duke, Therdeo... at least for a year, until she's safe.
Overall rating: 8/10; so far, this story makes for a great drama/thriller with lots of mystery and tension. There isn't much humor in this return-to-the-past manhwa unlike many other comics of a similar trope. The plot moves through story beats at a steady pace -- though the romantic tension has been going
...
rather sluggishly for what's out so far. The art is simple and clean, with Pereshati's pink hair a standout helping to represent her as soft and reserved compared to many of the other characters. At times, Pereshati herself can come off as a bit dry; if you choose to view this as a sort of shyness or reserved disposition, she becomes somebody to easily root for. Otherwise, my personal like for this webtoon comes from its clear intent to build a family -- so a strong push in the 'found family' category for this one. It explores much of each of the Lapileon family members and Pereshati's personal relationship with each of them from strangers to true family members, which I am excited to see turn to obsession as the title suggests.
TLDR; drama dialed to 11 as Pereshati (accidentally) forges a new family from the ashes of her old one. If you don't like Celphius Lapileon, get out of here!!! He's just a sweet sweet child!!!!!
