    Reading all over again
    Funny and cute rom-com that I like to read all over again when I can. If it were to made into an anime or live action, it will be one of rare things I look forward to see.

    Sweet story
    It’s so refreshing and heartwarming to read this story. I love the art, and all of the characters are so memorable. The FL is especially interesting as a main character, she has so much personality without ever feeling deliberate or annoying. The ML is written well too. It’s nice to see a guy who’s direct for once, instead of relying on misunderstandings and assumptions.

    Lovely story!
    Such a cute love story!! The plot was very fun to see unfold. The story is balanced very well. I would like to see a spin-off of this one!

    No misunderstandings
    I truly loved how sweet this romance was. The lack of a miscommunication trope was honestly so refreshing

    Very cute
    This story was really lovely. I liked the couple a lot, and the story was good with decent pacing. There wasn't any spice, which was a refreshing change.

    A beautiful short story
    The manga was cute and fun to read. Both of the mains are a little cliché-d but they are still engaging and fun to watch. The story does feel slightly rushed toward the middle-end but not in a way that makes the story feel incomplete. Overall I give this romance a 8.2/10. Im definitely saving this one to have a feel-good story tucked away for a rainy day <3

    Fun historical court drama
    I really enjoyed the pacing of this story. I love historical romance and a little court drama and this manga had it all. The only thing missing was a ghost or some magic.

    Cute. It was fun.
    This review contains spoilers. I don't really believe the emporer would be allowed a solitary consort before he had an heir, but I guess the romance demands it.

    Is this really what happens when you confine a bunch of women together? Can’t believe the level of bullying! It’s fun to read and satisfying when both MC beats the bullies.

    Looks promising
    Love the artstyle and interested on how the plot will go. Technically it is kind of obvious on how will it ends, but still want to see how the progress will go.

    Enjoying it but translation needs more work
    I’m new too reading manga but uh the translation needs a second run it’s mostly fine but every now and again has weird fails that scream no one gave it a second run through for errors or bad use of English words. For example I’m unreal should instead be I am not the real one. Honestly unsure how too report an issue like this too the site.

    Pretty Good
    The plot can be predictable at times, but it’s an enjoyable read if you just want to read something short and simple but still endearing.

    キャラクターがいい
    女の園の後宮の漫画はドロドロしがちで、私にはたまにキツく感じることもありますけどこれは大丈夫でした。もちろんドロドロもありますけど、スパイス程度でいい塩梅。あとはメインの二人はもちろん、周りの人のキャラもそれぞれ良くて引き込まれます。

    ハッピーエンド❤
    ストーリーがスッキリとしていて、わかり易く、ものすごく意地悪な人物も出てこないので読みやすいです。ほっこりとします。ヒーローもヒロインも真っ直ぐな人なので読み終えたあとが気持ちいい〜。ありがとうございました。でも欲を言うなら、婚姻後のイチャラブがもっとあれば、キュン度が上がるかなーと思いました。
