I Thought I Didn’t Have Long To Live!
Lariette, princess of the Blanchett family, who was diagnosed with the disease had only three months to live.
I was dying anyway so I decided to do some crazy things.
Firstly, living with a fiance who is older than me and there is no affection between the relationship.
Second, date Asrahan, the monster duke for 3 months! As soon as I decided to run away from him, I discovered something.
The truth is that I didn’t have the disease and only lived for 3 months.
“Lariette, didn’t I tell you?”
Asrahan said with a savage smile.
“If you run away, you will be responsible for any consequences”

A SWEETLY UNEXPECTED JOURNEY FROM DESPAIR TO LOVE AND JOY 🌸💖🥺
🖤
I went in expecting to cry… and somehow ended up smiling through my tears.
This manhwa took the classic “I’m dying soon so nothing matters” trope and completely FLIPPED it on its head. What starts off as a story about quiet heartbreak and resignation becomes one of the most wholesome, softest, and most unexpectedly healing tales I’ve read in a while. I was NOT ready for how much this would melt me.
If you’re a fan of:
✨ Grumpy x sunshine dynamics
✨ Fake relationships that become very real
✨ Characters finding reasons to live again
✨ The gentlest male lead in the history of male leads
Then trust me… YOU NEED THIS.
🖤
The Plot: A Girl With Nothing Left to Lose… Gains Everything 🌧️➡️🌈
FL has lived her whole life in emotional neglect, believing she’s terminally ill. She thinks her days are numbered, so when she’s offered a marriage to the “scary” Duke—one she believes won’t last long anyway—she accepts without hesitation.
But here’s the twist: She’s NOT dying.
And the Duke? Not a monster. Not cold. Not cruel.
He’s awkward. Soft-spoken. COMPLETELY HEAD OVER HEELS for her.
Watching her slowly realize that life isn’t over… that she matters… that someone actually wants to take care of her… I’M NOT OKAY.
🖤
The FL: Sweet, Honest, and Just… So Precious 🥺🌸
She’s been starved of love her whole life, but she’s not bitter. She’s not angry. She’s just… tired. But even in her exhaustion, she’s kind. Considerate. And when someone finally treats her like she’s important, you see her bloom like a flower in the sun.
Every time she smiles?? MY HEART.
Every time she’s surprised that someone cares?? TEARS.
She deserves everything good in the world and more. I just wanted to protect her forever.
🖤
The ML: THE SOFTEST DUKE YOU’LL EVER MEET 🖤🫶
Listen… this man had me giggling, kicking my feet, and falling in love every other chapter.
He’s awkward. He blushes. He doesn’t know how to express his feelings—but he tries SO HARD.
🔥 He gets flustered when she smiles at him.
🔥 He goes out of his way to make her happy.
🔥 He starts to panic when he realizes she might not stay with him.
AND THE WAY HE TREATS HER?? With such gentleness, such care, like she’s the most delicate treasure.
He doesn’t rush her. He doesn’t push. He’s just there, loving her, in his own quiet, devoted way. HE’S A GREEN FLAG IN HUMAN FORM.
🖤
The Romance: From Contract to Real Love 💍❤️
It’s so wholesome. SO wholesome.
They start with a deal—marry for convenience.
But then the affection sneaks in. The little moments. The glances. The soft smiles. The way they protect each other. And then BAM. You realize they’re totally, utterly in love.
It’s not steamy or dramatic—it’s gentle, healing, and real. The kind of love that’s built on trust and quiet support.
And that’s what makes it so beautiful.
🖤
The Art: Soft Pastels, Warm Vibes, and ADORABLE EXPRESSIONS 🎨💕
The art style perfectly matches the tone of the story.
It’s not overly flashy, but it has this warm, cozy feel that makes you feel safe. The characters’ eyes are especially expressive—you can FEEL every flicker of emotion.
✨ Blushes that make you squeal
✨ Cozy little outfits and backgrounds
✨ So many “awww” moments in just one panel
It feels like a visual hug.
🖤
Final Thoughts: This Story Feels Like Coming Home 🏠💗
I Thought I Didn’t Have Long To Live is soft, tender, and full of love in all the right places.
It’s not a story about dying—it’s a story about learning to live.
✅ A heroine finding her worth
✅ A hero learning to love and be loved
✅ A romance that grows quietly but powerfully
✅ And a beautiful reminder that even when you think life is over—it might just be beginning
20/10. Read it if your heart needs a gentle touch.
Read it if you need to believe in love again.
Read it if you want to FEEL something.
Because this story? It stays with you. 🖤🌸

Should you read? If you like this kind of Genre then YES! It’s really good 🥹, love the art and story. So go ahead and binge read 🥰😉
Eva
This manhwa is far too fast paced, like from getting the diagnosis, being thrown out of the house, meeting the ml and moving into his house in 4 chapters? Other manhwas would take around 15 chapters for that. It kinda lacks the pace to develop. The art is really nice tho.

Note for myself: I read until ch 10
