My rating: 10/10
It's a masterpiece exploring the complicated relationship of a daughter and a father who lost his love when she died giving birth. It has its ups and downs and I came to love every single character. The romance is only secondary, it comes up at the end.
REINCARNATION, FAMILY, MAGIC
The FL is reborn as the princess of a novel. But when she realises that she will get killed by her own father the emperor, she tries to change her fate. Due to her different behaviour she gets close to him. Can she touch his frozen heart and change her fate?
SPOILERS:
There isn't an endgame. I wanna know who marries the princess. But the side stories are missing.
Anastasia:
She's the princess and the FL. She's been reborn multiple times before crossing over to a different world and remembering her past life through a book. She originally was supposed to die by her fathers hands because she caused for him to ferl pain and is the one his love died for. She's intelligent and has a big heart. I absolutely adore her. She also possess great magic power.
Claude:
He's the emperor. He ascended the throne by killing his older brother who murdered his mother. He possess great magic power.
He lost his love (a dancer) when she gave birth to their daughter. They knew it would happen but she chose to do it anyways. Afterwards he lost it and killed multiple people before killing his own emotions with black magic and abandoning the princess.
When he meets her again she slowly destroys the walls around his heart and makes him feel again. After he then meets his wife's soul while being unconscious and talking to her one last time he somehow finds peace.
He comes to adore his daughter and becomes quite overprotective.
He's an interesting character with an unique backstory.
Lucas:
He's one of the two MLs and a magican who's lived for a long time. He meets the princess when she's still a child and becomes her playmate disguising himself as a child. He's rude and honest and her most important helper during her hard times. He's a mix of tsundere and yandere (he actually thought about burning the whole empire down if he lost her). That makes him interesting.
Ijekiel:
He's the other ML and the og ML of the novel. He's the dukes son and first meets the FL when Lucas teleports her to the duke's mansion and she falls from the sky into his arms. He's quite well behaved but actually has a teasing side. He later shows his bravery when fighting against the previous emperor.
Jennette:
She's the og FL and the princess's cousin. She was born using black magic and raised in secret. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father (the previous emperor) was considered dead. So the duke took her in. Originally she was supposed to gain Claude's favour because she had a caliming aura relieving his pain. But her father actually made it so that her presence slowly killed him. She's a kind character who wants to be friends with the princess and searches for her family. I'm glad she could live with her father in the end.
Anastasius:
He's the previous emperor who got "killed" by Claude. He had a rough childhood due to his mother pressuring him to ascend the throne and his lack of magic power. He was envious of his little brother and got possessed by the spirit of an emperor from the past. Since then he's been the villain so to say. But when Claude pointed his sword at him he actually wanted to die. The spirit just wouldn't let him. He himself is cold and has this "bad boy vibe". He develops a soft spot for his daughter. They find happiness in the end when they leave the capital and move to a harbour city.
The emperor from the past:
He's remembered as the greatest emperor of the empire but actually didn't possess a lot of magic power. When his father tried to convince Claude to make him his student Claude refused leading to the prince becoming obsessed with him and using black magic. His soul lives on and possess people who feel envious. He's killed in the end.
