Winsome

Well, it's not bad, but it started off with a decent pace, with other characters developing while the heroine just kind of toddled along in her do-over life. Then suddenly, prince declares his feelings and she has a quick existential crises, she acts like a fledgling teen in wuv, express machinations of the empress and then a sprint to the finish.

So, this is cute, she regresses in time to change her miserable fate, he is a stoic, but kind in his own ways. There are 'huh' moments, like how the hell did y'all not smell the crazy on the obsessive blonde, i mean, really? There are some crimes that can be covered up and some that SHOULD NOT be, don't give a shit how much you 'care', 'cuz if you cared they wouldn't have done that shit in the first place.

Well, hmm, not great, not bad...but, what was the point? Her family just went with it, I mean the emperor argued with the priest about the babies, then did exactly as the priest wanted anyway...and the priest, he did all this because he wanted the dark girl in his cage for his egotistic pleasure? Um...ew.

It's here because, though a cute story, blondie is a bit annoying. I mean, even spending years with a person, won't let you know everything about them, so why be so desperate for the seme to share every nuance of his life, even while suspecting it's dangerous? Just accept it as is and go from there. Everyone has secrets and if you share your secret, it's not a secret anymore and some are traumatic to talk about, so have some empathy for your partner and let it go.
