Another lifetime, another hard life—Letitia’s misery continues as her uncle sends her off to the “Monster Lord” to fulfill an old pledge. Imp attacks! The three witches! A hideous masked devil hunter husband! Terrifying is an understatement. But as she becomes the lady of Halstead, the rumors fall apart. Lord Erden is caring, he likes bunnies, and that gasp perfect face under the mask! How can he not know he’s HOT? Can she help protect the castle from devils and help Erden see his true self?

Too fun for its own good, I love this story to death.
[Contains SPOILERS, read at your own risk]

This melting pot of story beats, character personalities, world-building, conflict, and just sheer color is so much fun. Too much fun, in fact. I am anxiously waiting for the next chapter with bated breath.

My only qualms are that the places to access this story are what I would call hardly accessible, but honestly, that's hardly the fault of the story and more about the market around it.

The main character, Letitia, is clever and outgoing. I love her determination and drive; she is the glue holding all of the story aspects together. The experience is fantastic, watching her every interaction and clever thought. I would heartily recommend reading this manhwa for her creativity alone, especially as she basically invents Bitcoin in the fantasy setting to get one up on the Devil of Wealth.

Her romance with Erden, her male counterpart, is one that I think about when reading other manga and manhwa. He's an interesting paradox of no self-respect and extreme respect for Letitia that has him following along in her schemes in ways that are...well, not unprecedented in storytelling, but are REFRESHING to the core to read and absorb. And, unlike similar conflicts in romance stories, it never seems tired or out of left field: all the puzzle pieces are there to understand why Erden himself is Like This and why he treats and interacts with Letitia this way while never really communicating his anxieties. He's a character built out of the Female Gaze, and it's, quite frankly, revivifying.

I wouldn't say there are any specific Off™ aspects of this manhwa to warn anyone of. There's the Threat of "oh underaged protagonist gets married to someone significantly older than her" that is dispelled very quickly (thank Gods). The familial narcissistic abuse that Letitia lives with is short but extremely exposing and sets her up for you to understand her later anxieties, rather than being used (at this point; the manhwa is still ongoing) as narcissistic abuse apologia that is growing more common in other media. Violence is typical for the genre, and there's not a lot of blood? I can't remember any personally.

More or less, I wrote this as my first review of anything on Anilist to really recommend this story to anyone feeling really bored of fantasy tropes and the genre overall. My Secretly Hot Husband really embraces and breaks free from many genre hangups and is just a stupidly fun read. I wish I had more friends that read manhwa or just read stuff in general because I would be pounding at their doors to read this. I would, full-heartedly with no smoke, start a book club just to read and discuss different aspects of this story.
