^(○)^ Hetero Manhwa Themes: Fated mate, bullying & isolation from family, animal characteristics, mating. ️Setting: Based on the hanbok worn by the FL: 57 BC to 668 AD. 'The earliest visual depictions of hanbok can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms of Korea period'. FL: Told all her life by her family that the black marks on her fur mean she's fated to mate with the Black Serpent, she goes in search of him. She is determined to help him, which makes her very, very naive and overly trusting of him. ️ML: He is the Great Black Serpent. He has been living by himself in a cave. When the FL turns up and seems excited (resigned) to see him, he seems to not believe his luck. Art: Really good. Looks familiar to other works. Usual colourscheme used in historical Manhwas.

^(○)^ Hetero Manga Themes: Magic, cruel stepmother & half-sister, forbidden powers, false rumours, fight for the throne, forced marriage. FL: Even after being abused by her stepmother and forced to live in a tower, the FL has always worked hard for the sake of becoming queen. She adored her half sister. The FL has powers, that seem to appear in moments of distress. Her father is apparently unaware of her being abused. Art: Good! Typical colourscheme of the genre. ️Setting: 15th-19th c. Europe.

^(○)^ Hetero Manhua Themes: Royalty, matriarchy, family dynamics, battle for the throne, authoritarian regime, isekai. FL: A former medical examiner, she died and was reborn as the 'crazy' daughter of a queen who turned the kingdom from a patriarchy to a matriarchy. She is intelligent, witty, focused ultimately on her survival and able to recognise when things are bat shizz insane. ️ML: No confirmed-confirmed ML as yet. Seems very reverse harem coded TBH. Art: Very pretty. ️Setting: Matriarchy, with scene elements of 13th-19th c. Europe.

^(○)^ Hetero Manhwa Themes: Revenge, time rewind, lifespan exchanged for time rewind, marriage, rebellion, treason, royalty, nobility, forced marriage, gods' mercy. FL: Down to a lifespan of just over 1 year, the FL has rewound time a number of times and been executed repeatedly. Now she just wants to love. She is chaotic, sassy, cute, silly and unhinged. Art: Gorg. Slightly different from the cover, but no less good. ️Setting: 15th-19th c. Europe. : That last scene in the 1st chapter? *chef's kiss*

^(○)^ Hetero Manhwa Themes: Time rewind, reincarnation, martial arts, revenge, clans, evil stepmother, surviving. ️FL: In her 2nd life, she has decided to go to the depths of the Abyss (the place no talents are thrown down and never return) and gain the support of her uncle. She is actually innately talented, intelligent, and cunning but has pretended to be dumb to gain her revenge. Art: Really good, but different from the author's other works. ️Setting: South Korea (57 BC – 668 AD). ️Scanlation: A few parts in the 1st chapter, the words in English are unreadable due to the Hangul not being cleaned. But all very readable and the syntax is good.

^(○)^ Hetero Manhwa Themes: Isekai, battle for the throne, spirits, death, constant suspicion, place of women in society, societal hierarchy, medium, meddling ghosts, not living like one's parent, returning home, surviving, marriage, abusive parents. FL: Desperate not to live the tragic life of her shaman mother, the FL has always tried to ignore ghosts. Brought to another world by an annoying ghost granny who wants to teach her a lesson, she is resigned to use her powers if it means surviving. She is witty, practical, resilient, cunning and intelligent. ML: He lives to ensure his brother, the crown prince, survives to become emperor. He trusts a few but recognises that our FL is talented and special. ️Setting: 15th-18th c. Europe. Art: Unique eyes. Cover similar to art inside. : A rating of 8.5?!! 8.5?!! For this GEM of a manhwa?!!! It's funny, intelligent, has spirituality, a BAD-ASS female lead AND a romance that's actually BELIEVABLE! As I've said before DON'T TRUST RATINGS!- Cos this should be 9.something AT LEAST!!!

I'm in heaven

FL: Trained by a drunken master, she is seeking the writer of a greatly respected medical textbook to tell her why she 'sees' special things that help her treat others. ML: A prince.
