It's a sweet story worthy the read. Quite the break from all those others stories that you are probably reading!

This was very well done. The scene with the moonlight flowers is perhaps the best scene of its kind that I've read. Hats off to the author!

The author used the storytelling fundamentals splendidly.
> Characters - were believable and had good development
> Dialogue - flowed naturally and was fun to listen to
> Selectivity - no element is wasted in this story

They did "writing into the metaphor" and "show don't tell".

I also appreciate how Iris is a believable woman with her own aspirations, dreams, and conflicts.

The translation was a little off in some parts that made me wonder who was talking sometimes, but the story was nicely constructed. My favorite part was what happened after the whole "happily after" that the otome game never showed when the heroine was paired with her love interest.

But I feel like the otome game element was unnecessary because the story would have been perfectly alright without it. It was put in for no reason honestly.

A very short but very good one shot. MC and ML mesh very well together, and while we only see snippets of their relationship in the past, it sells the childhood friends to sweethearts very well. I do think the whole otome-game throw in was a bit unnecessary because it only shows up in the very end as a kind of plot twist, but the twist in itself was quite unexpected and well done at the end. Overall; it’s a great story to read when in between series or just... more>> wanting a quick romance story. <<less

Basically a condensed version of what we imagine the otome reincarnation novels to be. Only, we get to skip all of the unnecessary confrontation drama and instead focus on the MC's personality: her thoughts, her feelings, why she ended up engaged to the prince, and where her heart truly lies. The very end about the Prince's (then King's) future seems future forced though; if she was his true love, why was he so quick to break the engagement without trying to win her back ever? Seemed like an unnecessary attempt... more>> at "revenge". <<less

This story was very charming and I liked it quite a lot, even as a one shot the author did well in making it feel like a complete story that flowed quite well rather than wasted potential like a lot of other one shots.

The characters were well developed and I could feel myself getting attached to the dynamics of the relationship between the main two, it wasn't your stereotypical cheesy shoujo romantic relationship which made me feel quite satisfied. The humour and teasing of their relationship made me break out... more>> into a smile many times. Shiris and Darius were very likeable characters which made it easy to read, and I have to say I ended up shedding tears of joy for the two near the end.

Spoiler

I cant believe he bought her an actual jewel as a child aaaaa I wish I could have had such a romantic childhood ww~

Also I quite enjoyed that titbit of information that he was a yandere in the bad end///ohoho~ Though I feel that information was very out of place and sudden, it shows how much Darius had loved Shiris despite her leaving.

Since this is a one-shot, my review will be short and quick. Still, skim through it if you want to read it through fresh eyes.

My rating if based on my personal preferences, as always, and I kind of wish we had a ten-stars system. Regardless, this lands itself right on my radar of 7/10. It's status as a one-shot gives this fluffy short the advantage of wrapping itself up. The background info wasn't exactly needed, but the interactions and writing makes you want to break out into a smile by... more>> the end. Sweet with a dash of humor, this makes for a pleasant and fast read. <<less

This is really an impressive hidden gem of a story. One (long) chapter, and tbh it reminds me a bit of reading an O. Henry story because it's so firmly rooted in a time and place that FEELS very real. The translation is excellent, the banter between the childhood friends is fantastic - there are snippets of conversation from them being kids that feel incredibly true to life. There are so many little touches in this story that make the whole thing layered and immersive. I am SO happy I... more>> found this! <<less

Despite being a short story it's well balanced. The author nicely portrayed the character's perspective. The development was good too. The main couple was adorable. I don't feel any pity for the prince.
Spoiler

He loved FL. But how absurd it is to test your fiancée in front of public proclaiming an affair.

Cliché, short yet satisfying.

This is something new from other "reincarnation in a game world" short stories. It heart warming. It emotional but it didn't make me cry, but it made me feel proud for female lead. A female lead who has her own strength and powerful personality is really charming. 💖💖💖

Beautiful. I can just imagine Shiris' and Darius' conversation at the end. I'm glad the author even put in a short epilogue. 5/5 That was fulfilling.

A simple sweet story, it's so sweet you'll die from diabetes. Another plus would be the fact you get to see what happened to the Prince at the end too which makes it even better since in most other ones, the one who broke the engagement is usually never mentioned again~

Breath taking short story. This is what awakening to true, faithful, love is.

You'll be driven into a historical mystical world, where plots are a constant thing... But that doesn't stop the Female Protagonist from having opened her eyes on "one important thing".

If you wish to know what that "One important thing" is, then... ;) Go ahead and take a go at it.

Thank you for translating this story. :)

For a short otomen game story that's told from the first person point of view of the female protagonist, Shiris... I'm quite suprised with how this story goes.

What's my favorite part of this story? I definitely like its ending. ;)

... more>>
Spoiler

Warning! Spoiler!!

.

.

After her engangement is broken by the crown prince, Chris, Shiris come back home to her family and friends. There, she meet her best friend and childhood friend, Darius.

.

Darius has been in love with Shiris for a long time and he's unhappy when Shiris goes away to train as crown princess. Now, Shiris is back and there's nothing that could stop Darius to woo Shiris and make Shiris to be his.

.

.

I really love how the Author closed this story:

Darius marry Shiris and they live happily ever after. Everyone know how great their love for each other.

.

The crown prince Chris become emperor Chris. He's known as a playboy emperor and has many concubines. But he doesn't has children and no true love. Shiris is actually the one that Chris truly love.

.

Anna, the woman that make crown prince Chris broke his and Shiris engangement, become just a very low ranking concubine in Chris imperial harem that nobody care. Karma is a b****!
