Well..as the title suggests, the MC did indeed reincarnate as a crow. Crows like shiny things and so the ml's golden hair immediately attracted her towards him. She later finds out she is in an otome game she played a few years prior to her becoming a zookeeper. She doesn't know which specific game it is and her memory is hazy in regards to it. Ofcourse she later finds out about it further down the road. Mc likes predators such as tigers, lions, wolves, cheetahs and the like. And so she is very knowledgeable about animals. The way she came unto this fantasy otome world is because of her senior taking sick leave, she was assigned a more important and dangerous job, that concerns the predators. A tiger approaches her and then she faints(?) then wakes up in the world she is currently in. She is appalled at her being a mere crow and curses that she is unlucky as most transmigration story involves possessing the body of the MC. She decides to survive by becoming someone's pet as the wildlife doesn't suit her. The ml was injured and chased by orcs which she caws (the sound crows make) to create a distraction, the ml escapes and then she finds some medicinal herbs to stop his bleeding and all. Then they form a symbiotic relationship of some sorts. The MC (as most Koreans are) are very weak to visuals. So her true motivation behind it is his looks basically which she denies ofcourse.
We then meet ml's 'sword' his personal guard who is fiercely and comically loyal almost always trying to cut his own neck or other body parts for his failure to protect ml. He is vexed that ml always has a crow ' the embodiment of death' by his side and since he wears his heart on his sleeve..the ml catches it and explains she is his benefactor and is his saviour. When they returned to the kingdom, the ml who is the first prince is targeted on all sides as most nobles support his younger brother who has already 'awakened '( they can change their form to wolf)..A wolf is a holy entity of some sorts and because of this wolf other kingdoms fear them and do not invade etc. So when the ml did not awaken even in his adulthood, the nobles sided with the third prince who has already awakened at an early age which also includes the ml's trusted teacher which is why the ml has trust issues. The ml hides the fact that he had already awakened to catch them off guard( our MC found a precious rock which when eaten makes people awaken or kills them when they are not strong enough to withhold the power of the rock). Further down the line, the ml and his bro have a fight to the death in their wolf form to confirm the successor of the dying emperor. The ml wins despite his bro using tricks to enhance his fighting skills and absense of fear etc and also the power of the demons. The younger bro is helped by an elder of the magic tower who escapes after their trickery has been found out.
So the ml introduces mc to the emperor as his mate which he approves. Quick note : wolves only have one mate for life. The mc and ml enter a contract of some kind where the mc promises to be his engaged empress until the ml seduces her to have the same feelings he harbours towards her. Needless to say mc already loves him but is unnerved for the arrival of the og fl and how the story will unfold based on her choices. She also rescued a slave who turns out to be a great spirit mage who is the first person in history to have a contract with four superior spirits of different attributes. Side note (mc also has a wind spirit called 'Mui' whom she formed a contract with, Mui is very cute and smol). He is in love with mc too cuz of saviour syndrome? The og fl is revealed on ch 48 and she seems to be a transmigrator too who has evil intention, she is a bitch...just saying. She glares at mc upon arrival to the tea party hosted by mc to have a negotiation with the og fl, only problem was she didn't know the name of og fl as the otome game allowed players to choose whatever name they want and she never bothered to learn the default name of the main character that is Adrianna btw. She seems to be angry at mc for having all the targets by her side at her every beck and call and does not bother to hide her hostility which the targets pick up on. She requests a private meeting with mc which they don't allow because of her hostility towards mc and also cuz mc was shaking and trembling after she arrived which she refuses to admit by saying 'I am fine' and dismisses them after thanking them for their concern. The chapter (49) ends with og fl asking or demanding for the MC's identity...she legit says "Who are you?"
