Really good transmigration manhwa. Letitia, originally from Korea, has died in a fire and reborn in a different world with memories of her old life. She loses her parents young and is living in her uncle’s manor as a servant, her only use for him her inheritance. But when he has to marry one of his daughters to a devil lord of north, he sends Letitia instead. She’s heard horror stories of life in north and her future husband, but it’s still a better fate than being burned at stake for being a witch, with which her family threatens her.
Letitia is only twelve, but it turns out her husband to be is only fifteen. He hides behind a mask, because he looks like a monster, but she soon realises he’s very kind. In a prologue that gives a peek to their future lives, he’s very handsome, but it may be she’s only one who sees him that way. That remains to be seen.
At their engagement party, he shows her a secret text that no one can read, but which should help them to defeat all the monsters of north. It turns out to be in Korean, so she can read it. Other modern items pop up too, like butane canisters that help her defeat some monsters.
Encouraged by her ability, he leaves right after the engagement to search for more such books. He hides the castle with magic before he leaves, and for seven years, Letitia and the villagers live in peace. But now the magic is vaning and he’s not back.
This was an exciting start for the story. Lot of action and intrigue. I liked the time jump too, because otherwise it would’ve been either icky or too slow to follow. And the full colour art was very beautiful. The original official webtoon is still available in English too, so I think I’ll continue reading that instead of waiting for the next volume to be published.
