You will never understand the impact on the manhwa community this series had at it's prime. It was revolutionary! It was insane! It was ahead of it's time! It's one of those "You had to be there" events!
No because in this manhwa:
The fl and og!fl actually got along and were great friends with no drama
The 2 prince brothers actually cared for each other and there was no fight for the throne
No love triangle between the two princes and the fl just wholesome married couple and siblings in law shenanigans
Great friendships not just for the fl but for the ml too the whole story just screams found family it's not only focused on romance
Fl actually cooperates with ml from the begining and becomes a double spy!
Every character was so interesting and got you intrigued no one was one dimensional every character was well constructed and had a personality
This is a cult manhwa. Everyone who is like me and read it while it was still ongoing from the begining know just how amazing this manhwa was at the time!

I wish there was more manga/manhwa with female leads that are actually selfish and kinda fucked up. Instead of being so altruistic all the time - it's getting boring reading about villainess protags who don't actually do anything villainous other than be a bit rude sometimes.
And the male lead is just head over heels in love. Completely infatuated. He just thinks she's so beautiful he can barely breath in her precence. And he just loves how smart and cunning she is using people for her own gain. He doesn't care if he gets used as well he just wants to be by her side. Even if she treats him like shit it doesn't matter, he just loves breathing in her air.

ROXANA (Chapter 37)
*E/N: Thanks for 100 followers! I'm having a lot of fun editing these chapters, and I hope you're all having as much fun reading them :)
–––
As he ran, Cassis shot a sharp glance back at Jeremy, who had recovered from his surprise and was now looking far more relaxed. Cassis could hear Jeremy’s nasty laugh echoing behind him.
Disoriented by the initial chaos, Cassis had accidentally gotten stabbed by the Karantul’s pincer-like legs, and he was starting to feel its effects. First, the numbness spread through his limbs, before it was replaced by a cold, tingling sensation.
‘Shit,’ he thought. ‘Why are they breeding such things here?’
The surrounding atmosphere was now completely engulfed in the dense smell of poison emanating from the escaped monsters.
“Help me- HEUK!”
Cassis stopped and swung his head around just in time to see the woman who had cried for help get crushed in the jaws of another huge monster.
More monsters were advancing towards Cassis in the meantime, and while his chains were effective in curbing their attacks, there was a limit to how much he could attack without a proper weapon.
He clenched his teeth while shaking off a monster that had tried to bite him, hurriedly looking backwards for a possible escape route- but not before the monster’s poison tail sank its spike into him.
* * *
“Your clothes are getting dirty, my lady.”
As soon as Emily’s hand touched the monster, its black body withdrew with a terrible and piercing scream.
“You don’t have to do anything, so please step back.” Roxana extended her arm towards Emily’s ungloved hand. “Try not to use your power- I don’t want your life force depleting for nothing.”
Emily bowed her head in acknowledgement.
Behind us, Grizelda dislodged an iron bar from a cage, using it as a weapon to defend herself from the monsters.
Those who couldn’t fend for themselves huddled the middle of the greenhouse, away from the glass walls and fighting members of the Agriche soldiers.
I moved toward Grizelda, breaking off an overturned table leg and stabbing it in an advancing monster’s eye to kill it.
“I have to leave,” I said.
“Because of Cassis?” She asked, almost sympathetically. I nodded.
“Yeah,” she sighed. “I have a feeling this is all Jeremy’s fault. Just one of his stupid pranks. I hope your toy isn’t too badly hurt.”
* * *
Cassis had been running for what seemed like centuries, and yet… he had no idea where he was, or where he was going. The Agriche mansion was truly a labyrinth. His limbs were tiring, and his brain was aching. Yet another monster appeared in front of him; Cassis grabbed the sword of a fallen Agriche soldier, and lunged.
* * *
“Someone- someone save me!”
Just then, someone jumped over the monster’s head. The man moved deftly, driving a sword through its forehead. The Karantul fell with a shrill cry.
“Oh… thank you, sir!”
Cassis had no reason to help the people of Agriche. But he also couldn’t ignore a person’s cry for help.
Moreover, it was partly his fault that people were getting hurt by the monsters- after all, Jeremy had only released the monsters to hurt Cassis.
“Oh, good. You’re alive.”
As if summoned by Cassis’ thoughts, Jeremy appeared in the tree above him.
Cassis cocked his head. “You’re happy to see me alive?”
“Yeah. I guess. If you died, I’d kind of be in a lot of shit, so…” Jeremy trailed off.
“Bullshit. You were the one who let the monsters out in the first place.”
Jeremy opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the thumping of dismembered Karantul body parts landing several feet away from Jeremy and Cassis.
“What’s going on?”
A deep, languid voice emerged from behind the Karantul’s corpse. The man had black hair and red eyes- an exact- but much younger- carbon copy of Lanche Agriche.
“Are you in the middle of walking your dog?” The man continued, wiping his sword on the coattails of his blazer.
Cassis looked at Jeremy, who was gritting his teeth in frustration. “Fucking Dion… fucking bitchass,” the younger Agriche muttered under his breath.
Dion ignored the jibe. “Jeremy. Did you open the door to the feedlot?”
