TheChilliest's manga / #Cute(73)

Hesitant to read at first but other than the strange beauty standards with scars, freckles, birthmarks, and even weight I kinda like that in a way women have more power and are respected especially with the men to women ratio bein unbalanced. When they say beast men they really mean that though what with the territory conflicts, desire for reproduction, I'm not a fan of eating someone else's cubs even if they won't stay off my land (sorry Curtis), the power ranking... many things are discussed about wild animals that I just remembered or learned. In this civilization men are the ones that get discarded if they find the right solo partner but women actually practice polygamy...I was shook when the level of connection between the women and her partner means they can be imparted with the powers of their husbands. However, it doesn't look like many women have strong connections with their husbands and beautiful women aren't as common. What confuses me is why don't the beast women have ears and tails like the males? I've gotta say I think that maybe feral beast men aren't as bad as the rumors say because I love Curtis...he definitely doesn't treat Bai poorly once he understands warm blooded mammals better and for the most part that instinctive fear of snakes fades with his maturity and sweetness but he does have a fiercely predatory side as well not to mention his jealously. Parker isn't bad he's kinda cute and thoughtful...Winston,Harvey, and Muiri grow on me more and more but you've gots to have serious bravery and power to go up against Curtis...as sweet as he can be is literally deadly! I didn't think I get so caught up in this beastly world but I'm interested in what the merfolk look like, only downside is that if you get pregnant it's just you and your husbands handling the labor unless there are complications plus you've got to get inventive with cooking and clothes.

It's interesting how self preservation and the morality of being a doctor can clash so much in the female protagonist...I like that the female protagonist has medical skills from modern times and gets a second chance at life through reincarnation...no one would want to waste that opportunity. I get it a stranger is very untrusting whose at death's door, but obviously in whatever life he/she came from trust isn't something to take lightly. I was like how you gonna leave the stranger that just started trusting you after barely keeping them alive....can't you both think of a way out of the situation together lady? I'm glad the female protagonist didn't let him die, but boy did she change her tune when she found out he was a prince...I'm like oh you feel a little bad now? Anyway, I always like seeing different medical practices and ancient romances, the struggle of court life and defying people's low expectations of you, and I especially like tsundere characters because for all their outward mean talk they're real softies on the inside! The female protagonist is also kinda funny and able to stand up for herself and others quite well...the person who use to reside in her body was gentle but often abused and I'm glad the family members that had fun hurting the past soul are now getting what they deserve!

It definitely has a different feel to it as the female protagonist,Wei, running away due to her family not considering what she wants and just throwing her into marriage when she has just been reincarnated since she's the daughter of a concubine, but she supports herself well on her own using her past knowledge of being a forensic specialists/coroner to solve cases with her son. It's even interesting that the fist time she met Prince Ling he was suffering the effects of some aphrodisiac, but her usual acupuncture didn't work...and well neither of them forgot that day. Their son, Xiaoli, was taught some great things as a toddler I mean he's leagues ahead of the time period that they're in like his Mom, since she has modern day medical knowledge and he knows what to do if he gets kidnapped--awesome. Prince Ling is quite clever in his own way, great at martial arts, and cares about those in his care and has a strong sense of justice--he makes a good dad who also understands the heart/mind of the Wei.

I definitely haven't seen a plot like this one...super interested since it delves more into attraction and sexual orientation! I think it's sweet that the female protagonist wants to keep an eye out for her younger brother, but I get the feeling that he's quite the adorable playa and Sena whose interested in her may have never found out that he's bi or pans if his new love interest hadn't disguised herself as a boy---I like that he has no trouble seducing guys...they literally fall for his Casanova ways but seducing the "plain but cute boy" really erks him! Loved this line, "I don't like you, but I like the drinks you make!"
