Slight continuity problem. First frame showed her next to Lily, next time she appears she's alone in the frame. At the end, Lily's there again.

Trying to decide which is supposed to be the genuine affectionate look from the Duke, the one he gives her or the one he gives the saintess. Right now, I feel like they're completely different, but neither seems 'fake'. Also, yandere maid and sudden demise of tailor and the series description all have me thinking there are complications that may include his genuine feelings for her.

On the other hand, it may be about him trying to fool the king, who seems to have ordered this marriage. He may just be trying to present the appearance of a happy marriage. The fact that he seems to have refused to make a baby with her is sus.

Still early. Whether this is a good, complex story or a cliche still remains to be seen.

I'm thinking there is trauma from her family centered around her self worth. It must be repressed and that's why only good things are ever mentioned to the husband. 100% good and 0% bad of course isn't realistic at all. It might be normal in conversation among stable people but given that she's very unstable there's definitely something wrong.

We also currently have no idea what the medicine was for. If it was truly for her benefit we should have seen some negative effects already, but the only issues she has seem to be mental. Her memory issues also seem like someone's intention. That said, it's concerning that someone mentally unwell would forego her medicine.

I don't know if this is based on an LN or anything, but there is a chance that medicine was just meant for a brief time. Regardless she seems to have at least basic modern knowledge and in medieval times "medicine" wasn't exactly the best even if well intentioned.

I feel it's obvious that the husband is madly in love with her but has reasons to keep his distance. The cloak being loose was an obvious sign of being fitted for her original size, and thus not suited to the saint in the least. It was always meant for her and her alone, and in the story flashback it seems he was trying to replace his wife in his grief.

In general so far this manhwa is very intriguing in how it is exploring the uncertainty of an unwell character and an unwell reincarnator, and we have little idea of what to believe in. It really does feel mysterious and I hope it keeps up well.

I like how this story is going, please do not make the saintess a villainess, I’m tired of that trope. In that regard, I’m also tired of married male leads who are married, and simply keep being around unmarried women for anything that isn’t business. It does not look good on anyone.
