uotoni's manga / #fantasy(382)

FL is isekai'd into her fave book as a rando. She wakes up in a well and when the villagers get her out she comes up with a ridiculous name and they decide she lost her memories when she hit her head and so they call her Lefie. FL, after discovering she was in the book decides to become rich by becoming a fortune teller and using the books contents to tell the future. This gets her into the hall of the emperor, who was the cold and brutal tyrant she shipped with the FL the most (but he was a 2nd ML). However, the emperor asks her to fix his curse, which obviously she can't, that turned him into a little boy. To save her skin, she tells him she has to stay by his side to fix the curse. He is sus of her, because she knew shit no one should know, so he keeps her by his side. Apparently they are looking for some cursed item. Prince suspects his aunt, who has a similarly imposing aura about her as he does. The only people who know he is the emperor is FL and his knight guy. There is also another duke aside from MLs aunt, his name is like Casean or something with a C. FL convinces everyone that ML is the Emperor's son and that the Emperor had a lover who died and that's why she brought the prince here and that the Emperor is out mourning his lovers death. Surprisingly, it's believed. But now people try and take advantage of him while the emperor is "gone" and also target FL who is acting as his guardian. The Duke guy I mentioned before acts like he's loyal and shit and they all start to trust him even though he is sus as hell. The Aunt seems sus, but I think she is secretly just bad at socializing with her fam. Maybe I'm wrong. ML becomes "sacred prince" when FL predicted rain coming to end the drought because she finally remembered a letter in the novel mentioning it. Also, there is a fire being that keeps appearing and set the castle on fire but then it stops when ML tries to keep FL from going into the fire to rescue maid friend. So that's how they decide he is sacred. Also because at the same time a prophecy came down at the temple about a kid coming out of fire being the sacred child. Later we discover that the fire was actually part of the uncontrolled powers of the Great dragon. They find the dragon as a red headed little boy in the Sacred Place and take him back to the castle under the pretense that he is the prince's friend. But the temple wants him because he has more divine energy than the strongest pope ever. They try and hide that he is the dragon, but also keep him away from the temple. Apparently he's cursed to stay in a child body too. There is a job at the temple that is basically a woman who lived in solitude in the Sacred place with the dragon to befriend him and keep him stable, and there is a girl in one of the sus families whose trained her entire life for the job. When FL meets her, she is initially kind but then says some weird shit at the end. Same thing happens later when the girl helps them in the Temple, she is super kind at first but when they walk off FL overhears her saying something rude. So, she's sus. ML falls for FL, and kisses her forehead the one night that the dragon turned him into an adult, but FL struggles to see him as anything but a 4 year old child. I left off after we see the tragic backstory of his mom and how she died and then how he killed his siblings and the emperor after they tried to assassinate him when he was older when he tried to give them a 2nd chance. Also, the dragon asked ML if his mom was really a priest, because her energy was different. Anyways, this one was really cute so far. FL is comedic and funny. The kids are cute, but it never seems like the ML is actually a child, and doesn't really cross that line, which is nice. No fucking pedophile shit. She sees him as a cute child when a child and a handsome man when an adult, but never thinks romantic thoughts towards the kid version. I think she is the Ardal for the dragon, but doesn't know it. I think the dragon does know it, but is hiding it. I really enjoy the story and the art isn't bad. Even the non-official translations have been pretty good, so I don't have to wait for official translations. 4.9/5️

FL: Erin ML: grand Duke Calix Evil Ex: Raymond Evil exes mistress: Serena. This is the one where Erin got divorced and made a bakery and the Grand Duke Calix came back and is in love with her and she can see poison and has magic that gets into her baked goods and apparently heals people. I left off with Duke Calix confessing and asking her to go back to his dukedom with him and her about to go to his bday banquet and confess she likes him too. Also she found out her desserts are powerfully healing people and curing illness. Also, the little magic Brownie Bree said he could move with her if she takes a tree from his forest and replant it. This is cute so far. Art is a bit different from usual but still good. I like the story. 4.85/5️

Tried reading before and got to ch 15. Think I held off due to translations.
