need help finding this romance fantasy manga from bato
luckily I remember most of the plot:
Basically, fmc is engaged to the cp. He suddenly falls ill and they learn he’s been cursed, so the newly appointed saint steps in to lift the curse. The whole time the fmc was sitting next to him holding his hand, but when he wakes up, the saint is in the room and takes credit for taking care of him the whole time. Cp is an idiot and breaks up with fmc to be with the saint. This is also an issue for fmc because her dad wanted her to be the future queen no matter what.
later on, the cp’s brother gives her a potion and tells her to take it if she wants to take a break. When she does, she goes into a coma but can still hear everyone around her. She realizes it was a special potion for the royal family in case of emergencies. No one else but the King, queen and the cp brother know what the potion is. The cp is unaware because he’d pushed all of his lessons onto fmc. To seem like he’s being generous, he sends the saint to wake her up, but the saint is unsuccessful. And ever since he broke the engagement, his claim to the throne became shaky. The king and queen decided that he should travel the country with the saint as she goes around healing people instead of becoming crown prince. the saint doesn’t have an issue with this and in fact likes the idea, however, he doesn’t and says that he’ll instead marry fmc so he can be cp again.
Fmc is also seen as someone exceptional and well liked by others. There was a whole part about how she has a meal plan for her dad and his health. However, when she’s in a coma, the servants claim to not know the meal plan. So his health starts to fall. It’s also revealed that the father was told by his dead wife to make her happy, but he takes that the wrong way and assumes that being queen is what would make her happy instead of just asking her. Thus her entire childhood was filled with lessons and no playtime. When she later wakes up, he tries to get closer to her, but she shuts it down.
the male love interest is a childhood friend who spends his time by her side while she’s asleep. He’s the one that talks to her all day and even sends her flowers. There was also a female character that was nice to her but I don’t remember what their relationship was.
the artsyle didnt stand out too much, I remember the writing format was: the events before she’s asleep-> everyone’s pov just before she’s asleep and during-> her pov before she wakes up-> her waking up and the aftermath. I remember she also had a personality change from being asleep and having alone time to think things through. Since seeing who came into her room and for how long told her who really cared about her.
theres other details that I’m not 100% sure if they were from this story or a different one. I’ll list them here anyways if they help ring some bells:
- Cp might’ve asked fmc to either teach the saint about being a consort or asked her to plan the wedding. this was because I think the saint came from poverty or a low ranking noble family so she didn’t know these things.
- speaking of the saints rank. I think there was a dilemma where cp claimed his relationship with the saint was true love but was questioned if his true love meant he’d abandon the throne, hence why he was told to travel the country with the saint.
- the saint also seemed to have some sort of bad interaction with the queen, tho I don’t fully remember it, I think in the end she went to cp to cry.
- I think the dad went back to the king to restore the engagement several times, despite her saying she didn’t want that.
any suggestions will be big help! tysm.
