A refreshing and comedic read; the female lead's sharp wit and comedic timing are incredibly satisfying! 🤦 3. A classic rebirth novel, the most classic example being that both the male and female leads are reborn—a double dose of romance! 🤭 4. The male lead is a cunning yet adorable wolf-dog, a member of the Imperial Guard—reminds me of "Under the Power"! 🤭
