I just go "aww" so many times because these two are just true soul mates. I love it so much!
Now, Elestia is a shut-in bookworm like me, I can relate so much lol. Facing the hostile environment of a royal court would challenge anyone, but she is doing so well and has a strong spirit! Typical for this genre, she's having a hard time believing in her kinda-husband's love even though she can literally hear his deepest, most secret thoughts - but I am confident that they're going to grow as a couple, and maybe one day she'll become the empress after all! I'd love to see that.
However, as sweet as the romantic plot line is, as hauntingly the conspiracies and manipulations at the emperor's court are creeping in and slowly building up. I'm hooked and I really wanna know where this is headed! What does the emperor's advisor want? What's with the rivaling sorceress? Can't wait to find out!
The art is beautiful and so sweet, I adore it. And!! I am in love with the change of genre mechanics, for this is no Cinderella story. It's so nice to see all the love Elestia's family is showing for her. Maybe it can help the emperor at some point with being a little less stern and ruthless ^-^

Cute, but I have questions...This review contains spoilers. So it's a cute series, but there are factors about it that force me to drop the score.
The thing that really concerns me the most is the past life stuff. So far, it seems like her past life only exists to give her unnecessary trauma. It doesn't connect to any of the other characters so far, not even the ML. It's just a tragic past life she remembers out of nowhere that exists just to mess her up further.
Then we get the whole spirit beast thing. So she's able to hear the king's thoughts through his spirit beast, but not anyone else's through theirs? And the king somehow magically can swap places with his spirit beast out of nowhere just for the sake of a hug from her (an ability that just comes out of nowhere). And the MC can control spirit beasts, which I guess is fine, especially since she didn't have her own (so it balances out). Except, whoops. Suddenly she gets a phoenix (which turns small just for the sake of having a cute mascot in the series). Oh, and now she can control people too. So there's that.
Overall, it feels like a mess at times, which is why my score is where it is. But we'll see how things go from here.
