TheChilliest's manga / #Marriage(47)

I like how believable it is that they actually get to learn about each other and love each other after they're already married.

This one stays with you because you can see the power of a great person/teacher believing in you, but also it has that sweetness of first love, an older sister caring enough for her younger brother that she becomes like a mom to him, and a tad bit of gangster violence or street fighting ability which is fun.

I didn't completely realize it till now but I really like the otome feel and seeing things from the supposed villian/villainess side of the story because who knew what brought them to where they are or if they really are as bad as people make them out to be...they could even be better then the "heroes/heroines". Plus I love how bothe female leads are reencartnated, but of course Irene is awesome she was confined to a hospital bed before but now she's taking control of her own fate and even allowing the demon king the life he deserves.

I didn't know if I'd like this at first but I like that I gave it a shot...usually I like when the female protagonist starts from the bottom and works her way up into noble society, but to think that someone would be so disrespected as a duchess. The parallels between the female protagonist past self and the soul that use to inhabit the body she's in are also noteworthy since they both were used and taken for granted by those around them with no complaint on their part, which you can register the self-hatred in both their lives. When the female protagonist took strides to stand up for herself it was truly beautiful and man what happened to the Duke is the very definition of child abuse...I mean wow how can someone go to such legnths to crush a person's soul. It's bittersweet that no one took the time to know the other duchess, but the praise and friendships theat the new duchess has earned makes me happy for her and learned so much about tea!

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.

I can say I'm more of a fan of the hot-tempered, handsome, bloodthirsty, excelled at many things except love with a tragic past when the the path to love comes slow but sure and that hot-temperedness is still there but lessened, and cute jealousy arises but throwing magic in the mix is didn't like it at first like the characters. But if I think of it like one personality made from magic and the other his original like it is it's like he has dissociative personality disorder and it doesn't hurt the male protagonist to learn from his magic personality...I think there's an inevitable blending of warmth from one to the other which is nice!

My oh my Alexander looks like a Greek god! But I really think something is wrong with many of the people's brains in this story which is both entertaining and aggravating at the same time. I mean I love that Clare has the internal qualities of what makes a real princess: kind, brave, humble, plus she's a true survivor. She studied hard in her past life and became a veterinarian with and extensive knowledge of herb then when she was reborn she was a slave who is also studious and eager to help others but also biologically royalty. She has skills in treating the sick and she's not full of herself. It's depressing that princesses or beautiful women are seen as those with long hair and frilly dresses who don't know how to work. I mean a slave can't do this, her offspring can't be seen as royals because she's not blonde and blue eyed (genetics doesn't work like that--probably saved her though), she's a boy or a teenager (I get it she's lively and fun to watch)...these things irked me and man are slaves not human they can't learn to read and write what if a slave teaches herself how to...is it that unbelievable! I'm thinking that Alexandro's dad also doesn't understand sexuality...if he's gay then it wouldn't have mattered how he was raised. I'm tired of of his dad's meddling as well so he can think his son is gay if he wants, and he and his wife made it so that their son had a sense of justice where he despises political corruption but also noble women who seem to hide their true intentions. I like that howl means a lot to him but you think he'd want to figure out what happened (black stallion is definitely his spirit animal). I know it will take all the slow people awhile to understand but Clare was different while her everyone was being killed in the palace where no one cared about her she bravely came out of hiding to stand up for her servants, I know a quick head chopping was suppose to be a merciful death...but if anyone had bothered to look into her past they would have seen her abilities and wouldn't want to kill her. Anyhow, everyone wake up and smell the aromatherapy bath sometime before we're all old...she should be treasured, especially after to death threats, and I want to see real time lovey dovey scenes between Clare and Alexander. I rant and rave because I hate/love the story and I grow impatient. Also I must add that Alejandro is sexy and doesn't know it or care, because how can he not know the effect his beauty has on others...I mean these body shots gave me heart attacks.
