To answer why he didn't marry her after his brothers death; it was illegal to marry a deceased brothers widow in the 1800’s. And strictly prohibited by the church. Bastard children or children born from adultery rarely inherited titles or wealth. Also titles belonged to the king so if they created a large enough scandal, they could have lost their ancestoral land along with their titles so a lot of reasons to keep all that secret.

I really liked this one. I've read so many shorts that pack too much in and then make the pace too fast to enjoy it. The pacing in this feels just right; I got a whole damn story with plot and smut and then bonus sides. On top of all that the writing, art and translation were perfect. You don't come across gems like this all the time.

100% would recommend. This is a work of art; how is it not trending and popular? I came across it accidentally and decided to give it a shot since it was completed. You get two eras with them. The first era was supernatural and full of tears and reincarnation but also filled with love. The second is in modern times and lovey-dovey. There is no SA, no love triangles, tons of green flag moments, communication, an excellent storyline, and the gradual improvement in the artwork was great.
Edged on a cliffhanger is some torment.
