On her wedding anniversary, Brielle plans on gifting her husband, Alpha Argon, a news on her pregnancy. But she's left shattered when she found Argon proposing to his first lover, Estelle, a super model and daughter of Alpha Deron from Red Wood pack.
Argon rejects Brielle for his first love. He and Estelle don't hesitate to mock her for being wolfless and a burden with no family.
When she planned to hide the news of her pregnancy, a curious Estelle fishes out the report, shocking Argon with the news.
Brielle thinks the goddess would mend her broken relationship, but her whole world came crumbling when Argon and Estelle pushed her down the stairs, resulting to her miscarriage.
Broken, she receives a divorce letter from Argon, giving her twenty four hours to sign and leave.In her pains, something was awoken in Brielle. Something rare and deadly.
"Don't sign it, Brielle. That's not the way of the IVYs. Make them pay."Her eyes glowed green.
Despite talking a lot about getting revenge, what actually happens is that the FL chooses to endure more abuse to supposedly wait for the right time to strike, living like a doormat even when it nearly kills her, but she's magically rewarded with sympathy that inexplicably happens from the hateful ML that goes through inexplicable personality changes out of the blue. If it wasn't for the ML's magical personality changes, the little moments where the FL retaliates with harmless acting would feel significant to me. But all it ever does is just present more moments of the ML's inexplicable changes in behavior. Where once he didn't care about things, suddenly he cares about things despite having gone through no internal nor external experiences that would naturally lead him to reconsider his thoughts, feelings, and behavior. He feels like the author's puppet, his strings pulled whenever convenient without rhyme or reason. The inexplicable changes he goes through are entirely contrived, born out of nowhere, and only serving to move the plot forward. His characterization feels like a McGuffin of sorts, he acts out of character whenever the story needs him to keep going onwards. And because of this, revenge loses weight and meaning, pushed out of the lime light by the ML's unnatural self-redeeming personality changes. So despite trying several times to get into the story and enjoy it, I'm constantly thrown off of it.
