She has long lashes, radiant crimson eyes, and silver hair like an angel’s... but she’s no angel—she’s the villainess Syriana Malforte... and I’ve been isekaied into her body! The House of Malforte has many gifted mages, but none at the level of Duke Azester. My evil mother brainwashed him into falling in love with me, and I coldly used him until his final breath. But with this second chance, I vow to set him free and return him to a sound state of mind. But how? And my heart aches to know… will Az still love me once he’s free?

Hahahaa now I'm not even surprised after reading the changed titles any more, i liked the previous title ''I Lost the Leash of the Yandere Male Lead'' more than the current one given by tapas
Title aside, I personally liked the story, and the art is lovely but beware of the tragedy tag. so I read the spoilers that fl dies and ml becomes crazy trying to revive her. The end of the main story is heart breaking but I also heard that the epilogues will heal the broken heart and fl will get revived (?)
Some may say that it is bland manhwa but I'm a simp for yandere ml and psychological plot with tragedy so I like it

Spoiler
Beware of tragedy :
If you expect sweet romance, you should avoid this series.
There is, but only a few🤏🙄
It’s quite bittersweet.
.
- There is no trustworthy among FL and ML.
You might see fl accept his confession, a few chapters later, “Your (fake) love is annoying”. She might chase him away or whatever excuse that is really annoying. She always think that ml does it on purpose or because of brainwashing.
  • ML is delirious from brainwashing, he harms her without consciousness.
    FL misunderstood he hate her😒 , so she avoids him. He could not remember, so yes, he misundersood her😂
  • FL preoccupies to free ML. ML misunderstood she wanna abandon him.
  • 100 chapters later, there are misunderstanding, misunderstanding, and misunderstanding 😭 misunderstanding is everywhere😨 Beware of no development.
  • the real villain of the series is Duchess, FL’s mother.
  • The reason why all heads of FL’s family have a lot of magic more than anyone because they have to sacrifice using several human that have a lot of magic.
  • Duchess(FL’s mother) is so crazy in love with her husband(FL’s father).
    Unfortunately, he is so sickly. His body is too weak. She can sacrifice everything for husband, even killing her own children for magic, to heal him. The most disgusting part is that she slept with him for reproduction🤯! to produce child, living magic being, no, to sacrifice them for magic
    That is why FL’s father suicided. He didnt want any more victim.
  • The real reason for brainwashing is that ML has great magic, and FL is actually a saintess, has ability to absorb magic. Duchess let them be together so that FL can absorb his all magic. Then she will sacrifice FL, to revive her husband, but fail.
  • In the end of main story, FL suicides. Before her death, she see prophecy in the future. ML and daughter with silver hair and purple eyes.
  • ML is about to follow her, but he realizes he might be able to revive her.
  • Side story, 3 years later, ML devotes himself for magic research and it succeed.

Plan to read
Yandere was the word in title that attracted many readers to this story. Now they have just placed the generic isekai word 'villain' in it and it doesn't make the title stand out from rest of isekai stories.
Again I find out from cover that it is official title for "I lost the leash on the Yandere male lead"
Also tragedy alertFL dies in the end but she will revive

Read a spoiler that said He becomes more possessive after getting rid of the brainwash 😈😈
|
The official is here! They changed the title so be aware: the male lead is a yandere. But really. He's not a guy who's just obsessed by the FL, it's more than this!
This manhwa is also really psychological. The FL's family is what made him being a crazy yandere.
And the tragedy tag is not here to look good. This manhwa is full of angst and tragedy, so be sure you are okay with what you can find here, before reading!

tapas wtf

Yaay! It’s official!!
✔️Yandere ML
✔️ Pretty art
✔️ Angst
|
I thought the premise seemed interesting enough but I had to dnf midway because I got sick and tired of the author’s way of spoon feeding every bit of information to the readers like we’re toddlers. The author really needs to learn the subtle art of show, don’t tell.

//nvm i just got a spoiler from someone abt what happens and nahh im not continuing this lmao😭
im only 3 chapters in but im already thinking of dropping. the plot is pretty nice, the characters are somewhat solid but i dont like how shes going with the be my obedient dog, i wont leave you if you show me your worth kinda route. like? isnt she basically playing a part on this manipulation play? i know she can't do shit against her mom but she can do shit to not make azester feel like complete shit. but it has the psychological and tragedy genre so its prob just playing its part. and hes an obsessive ml, oof ig its just not for me lol

This was too dark for me - if you're into fucked up love tragedies, you're gonna love this. Just. Watch the main characters suffer with no end in sight.

Wow. I thought she was an only child at first but then WAM 3 brothers.

Its very rare seeing siblings in a fucked up family get along usually they would be at each other's throats fighting for the seat of heir but even when they have a psycho sadistic mother they act like normal siblings who have small petty arguments but still take care of eachother its quite refreshing in a manhwa

I know the mother is red flag and I know you guys are gonna hate me for this but she's hot asf
