Chinese historical setting, shojou, romance, comedy. The FL is one of the painters invited to the palace to draw the emperor. She also draws BL fanfic using the emperor and his white-haired half brother as inspiration. The emperor accidentally finds the fanfic and wants to hunt down the artist. Thus, comedic shenanigans commence. The white haired half brother hides the FL as his "apprentice". The half brother is the 2nd ML, but he's not evil. He maintains friendship with the couple in the end.
It's a BL omegaverse. The story's mythology about fated mates is about a wolf (alpha) and a white deer (omega).
There were 2 childhood friends. One was the alpha prince descended from the wolf, while the omega descended from the white deer was only allowed into the palace because the 2 were confirmed to be fated mates. The prince wanted to defy or question the concept of being tied down to just one person, while the omega wanted to be of use to the prince by trying to become a civil servant/ official (unheard of for an omega and future wife of the king).
I'm gonna miss this whole dynamic once she turns back into a human. Same thing with the Hawk Princess. They had more chemistry when she was a hawk. Hopefully this series can do it better
Sooo true they always mellowd down the personalities once they turn back human
The banter & sense of equality disappeared. It became the same:
Princess: cries, blushes, wants to be useful but still gets kidnapped like an idiot
ML: we can't be in love! Because of politics, hierarchy, but I'm still jealous & overprotective
Yeah pretty much i think there is some other things too but it just becomes bland and the same basic romance
that is normal becoz the mls are not seeing mascots anymore. The treatment will ne different.
Nah its not really as much how ml sees them but the fact thhay fl personality does 180 and is nothing as she was before
Agreed. Even if the MC used to be an animal or a pet, their shared time together made a connection, a friendship. They have a dynamic, they know each other's quirks, the MC has seen the ML while he's alone & vulnerable, the ML has seen the MC interacting with him without the burden of hierarchy. That chemistry shouldn't disappear just because the MC becomes human again. Even with the hierarchy now becomes an obstacle. While they talk alone, there should be that lingering friendship that they do know each other, beyond the veil of human/animal form.
Trueee, same thing with the manhwa about the FL turning into a crow. It was interesting when she was a crow but as soon as she turned into a human, her focus was learning palace duties and paperwork so her personality mellowed out a lot and became boring
