I want to give a counterpoint to the one other review. If you start off by watching the anime, I think it's much easier to hop into this manhua. I think the anime does a good job of giving the female lead more agency and softens the male leads less than stellar behavior in the later episodes.

Be prepared if you're hopping into this one. It's got bunches of characters (some of which look really similar), it ties different political plots, romance plots, and petty vengeance plots all with a sprinkling of magic powers. I really enjoyed the silly plot and romance. I like the antics the characters take in overcoming adversity. It's true that the male leads not great, he is mostly a jealous bundle of jealousy. But I don't read this type of romance novel to have a model on what relationships should be like. It gives lots of squee moments between the main leads as they grow to love each other. The female lead has female lead syndrome: every male character falls in love with her for little to no reason. But at some point the author seems to move most of those male characters onto new romances, showing that they can grow. And I think the female lead is fun. She doesn't let folk push her around and uses her skill sets to protect those around her. I do think continuously writing the same plot on how little trust the two leads have for each other and how often they are jealous can get stale and I skimmed some arguments while reading.

The art gets better mostly as you read and the later translations (if you're reading the scanlated stuff) gets much better.

Overall I enjoyed it and will keep reading as more gets scanlated, and think if you like overly complicated romance plots that are still mostly lighthearted you may enjoy this too. I really do recommend again you watch the anime first as the pacing is better, but that opener....

The story of a dumb girl with a little ghost, she gets married with a chauvinistic pig of a prince and is surrounded by other similarly disgusting men which sooner or later fall for her for whatever ridiculous reason. This is the story of the MC finding love with one of those pieces of sh*t, most likely the crown prince, someone who outright announces his disgust for her when they meet for the first time... and I won't loose my time reading this crap but I'm certain he'll do all kind of painful things to her in the future too.
An example, the ML outright insults and diminishes the FL announcing his love for another woman (this might even sound romantic, how faithful!), a few chapters later, this "loved one" asks the ML to spend some time with her, what does this loving man reply? "Disobey me and I'll send you to a whore house" oh how loving, oh how I wish that this loving man will end with our delightful FL... I find this disgusting. Oh, let's not forget right after the ML tries to have all the family of the FL killed because he was forced to marry her... how charming. By the way, if her family had the power to force the emperor to marry the crown prince to her this in itself is completely ridiculous.
This fascination of woman with bad men is beyond me, I dislike those kind of people and I dislike even more those who like those kind of people. "Oh, but he changes because of the power of the love for the MC", no he won't someone like that doesn't change, and if it does it will be in regards to the MC, he'll go off killing the families of other girls that dared displease him, and he'll probably think he's doing something good and "romantic" for his girl.
Add a very bad art-style and you get a very very bad manhua, among the worst I've read so far. Also, it has one of the worst translations out there, the result is the characters speaking like aborigines in the movies.
