Kiko's manga / #Reincarnation(3)

To be or not to be

Despite it being of the traditional flowy, long hair always waving in the non-existent wind, Chinese style, I plowed through this one after starting it on tappas. I simply loved it. The ML was reincarnated into an ancient emperor from a popular present day novel and keeps trying to steer the story back to its original plot despite the fact that he's the one falling in love with the 2nd ML, another deposed then brought back to current emperor! The illustrations were glorious and the story pace never slows down. I was saddened when his first stint as emperor ends in tragedy but was happy to see him reincarnated as an almost identical self as a king! Even the flash forward to the present CEO with all the side characters who had died back in his life was sweet.

Spoiled, bratty actor kills himself after an acid attack ruins his face and his possessive manager/lover dumps him. He is given a 2nd chance to be a better person and turns things around and falls in love with the CEO of the rival company. Story drags just a little bit but I really like what he does with his 2nd chance and the developing romance.

Keeper of the Pearl

Complete | Dorook | 2019 released

Although I think some of it was lost in translation, I really enjoyed this story of their developing love and the retelling of the Joseph Dynasty version of the prince and his ill-fated love. The flash back happening when the current alpha is unconscious was a nice way to take the time to tell the whole back story. I shed some tears when the Omega figured out that the dragon that was visiting in his dreams was actually his 3rd pregnancy and the unborn child that was never born b/c he was killed by the prince in the JD era. I loved the epilogue of the grown children loving each other and their loving and caring family.
