TheChilliest's manga / #Drama(158)

Wow this actually starts off with the reincarnated female protagonist already somewhat accustomed to her new life with little confusion over her death and where she is...I like that we understand her modern to ancient time crossover but it doesn't flashback much. Also the female protagonist she's quite funny, clever, kind and competitive as she always seems to reference leveling up and draws from her knowledge of dramas. I laughed when she started picturing a closer relationship with the Empirer saying she deserved it...It didnt take her a long time to get use to being a queen but I like that she's nicer than the person who use to own the body she's in, plus I haven't ever seen a story like this where the female protagonist already has a son with the Empirer and there love had been tested by royal court politics and the former queen's desire to monopolize her love. I hadn't seen the reincarnated person's clothes cross from life to the next either that's interesting, also the queen's son is so cute!

I like that the plot has a detective mystery vibe, and I always laugh with the person who is the female protagonist but isn't suppose to be the main character in the story that they get reincarnated into has to figure out that she acutually is more than a side character or person in the background--that they've altered the very fabric of the story as they once knew it. The female protagonist really paid attention to key details about the novel she read and its characters and I love how she stands up for equality and kindness, and the part about clever, cautious, devious duke's becoming mushy lovers was ironic because she'll be the target of his affections at some point he already finds her interesting.

So we have a case of reincarnation and transportation to another world here...I've never seen that one. It's also funny how go with the flow the female protagonist is, but I did think it was a little wasteful about the food going to waste after barely eating it. Anyways, the banter among the characters is nice and the whole marriage idea to get rid of some form of dilemma also takes a different turn with all parties being so willing. I feel bad for the celebrity who got transported though since she literally has no family in the new world and has to resort to similar schemes as before...but then again it would have worked more in her favor to be seen as a sainted at heart even without abilities so that she'd gain allies. The quote, "It takes a brave person to marry a handsome person" and the female protagonist proposing to be a "trophy wife" stays with me.

When I first read this I was exited about the mafia aspect because mostly when I've seen mafia/gang it describes the leader as ruthless but then there's no fight scenes or actual fear that the person is dangerous and you should flee for the hills. I for one like the mafia leader to have a moral code of no rape or undue abuse of women or children, if the woman can defend herself and has the intent to kill then defend yourself that's okay. I also like when it's increasingly difficult to gain trust or affection from the mafia leader due to rival gangs always gunning for your life, men/woman wanting to spend time with you to gain power, favors, or make you indebted to them. I'd have a thick wall of caution and I like that Mr. Yu has an inner circle of people he'd consider friends, I was surprised to see a woman among them because he seemed to have intense resentment toward women as he takes their first times and ditches them and oh boy even going so far as to tell the women that if they get pregnant to not expect any child-support from him or to even recognize the child as his own...I mean the abortion money was new to me definitely. He keeps himself detached even to the point where he could watch a person drown for awhile without flenching...I dared to wonder if he allowed himself to care/love a woman what would he be risking? The female protagonist I give serious props for being praised for her high intellect and not easily giving her first time away even when she truly loved her boyfriend...they made an agreement to have sex on her 18th birthday but I guess he couldn't wait patiently and gave in. I mean her boyfriend did recognize her abilities and seemed to cherish her to some extent since she was the only one he called "girlfriend." I also liked Mr.Yu's original disposition how he has a different manner of speaking and walk that he usually covers for, I think I'd wreck his mental/emotional defenses and learn how to swim with martial arts.
