This is one of my favourite manhwa, especially from the "villainess" / aristocracy genre, whatever you want to call it.

It takes a very refreshing spin with a somewhat spanish inspired setting instead of the ever present english high nobility and the characters, especially the female MC, actually look the part instead of having pink hair or something like that. While not a no-go for me, a pinch of authenticity is very appreciated.

What drew me in initially was the art in general, which is of very high quality. No matter the setting or emotions through facial expressions, are beautifully conveyed.

The story doesn't ... shy away from pretty difficult topics, if you have issues with depictions of (sexual) violence or self-harm it may not be for you! But there is a warning in front of every chapter.
All I can say is that it takes these issues seriously and doesn't just use them for cheap impact, but for serious character motivation.

Also refreshing is the courage to not just shy away from the topic of sex in general.
And as this was THE main reason for the nobility to marry and produce an heir, as well as just an important part of any relationship.
To be fair, it maybe goes a bit far sometimes, but there is a censored version which keeps the most "intense" action out.

It seriously brakes my immersion so hard though, with so many of these stories when they just want the fancy dresses and tea parties, but take nothing of the actual motivations from the time period or general human habits into account.

Really looking forward to how the story develops from here on out.
