The Emperor’s sword, called the Emperor’s Guardian and Knight of the Emperor’s Sun.

Elacion 1441 – The Emperor’s Sword, Lydia Centrin, the guardian of the empire, rebelled.

“Your Highness, may I say one last word.

-From now on, don’t swear by the sword.”

Just as there is darkness because of the warm light and as spring comes because of winter.

Her fate, which has lived with a frozen heart to protect him, is lost to the dew of the execution table in an instant by the ploy of someone hiding in the pure white light.

Meanwhile, in the Empire, Elperanda, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Reinhardt, lost her life in an accident, and miraculously, Lydia is reborn with the memory of Elperanda, and her soul resides in Elperanda’s body.

If Lydia’s life is winter, Elperanda’s life is like spring.

In her new body, she lives her new life, and again – Saintess Jia scheme, hidden behind the pure white light, come to her….!

When there's a nominally trans person stereotyped as an unshaven drag queen, I get ticked off. I fully understand translators using "he" pronouns considering the source, save a few cases where the character explicitly recognizes the person's gender. Someone themself using gendered speaking style doesn't translate, others referencing them in genderless ways doesn't translate, but stereotypes come through loud and clear. Considering this made me drop it, despite being a very minor example, it must have been the final straw.

A slow, traditional, and largely flavorless story. There hasn't been much... more>> catharsis yet and I doubt the story can pull it off. The "Sharing A Body" tag I was interested in seems to be *false*, as the handover of memories was the same in some other stories without said tag (as of this far). Part of why it held my interest this long is I'm interested in how the story approaches the magic swordsman combat style. At this point I doubt the two kinds of skill fit together in very interesting ways.

In short this is a mid-to-low tier story, where the interesting elements aren't capitalized on. So at that stereotype I dropped it.

The translation was shaky but passable. Many chapters need an editing pass to remove redundant half-translated paragraphs. Thanks for the hard work. <<less

This is a well-written story and the translation + update schedule are also great.

Honestly there's not much romance going on up to this point and honestly I don't think our MC needs ML or some sort. She's already good on her own. The villain in this story was the typical green tea b*tch, so if you're alright with that type of cliche then I'll really recommend you to read this.

Anyway, I want to point out my thoughts regarding the prince. I admit that he's a jerk and also kinda dumb. But it turns out that he was being brainwashed and hypnotized by the fake saintess using some sort of power all along. So I got a mix feeling about him. At the end of the day, it doesn't change the fact that he hurt our MC very badly. But I still feel bad for him. Because he was robbed of his own conscience and the one person who he could trust and truly care about him (our mc) against his will. So I think it's unfair for him too. The one who's truly at fault here is the fake saintess.

The premise and characters are interesting but the writing lacks emotion. Idk how to explain any better than it feels like someone is telling me the gist of a story so I will read it... or like a synopsis.

It just feels very halfhearted.

I don't really know why this novel doesn't have reviews yet (or why it doesn't have at least a 4.0 rating), but I can assure you this is a really good work.

To sum up, our FL lived her first life as the crown prince's knight until she died accused of treason (all of this was plotted by the fake saintess). She then possesses the body of Elperanda, who actually had the powers of the saint from the beginning. Most of the story is about our FL trying to uncover what... more>> has happened that made her lost her first life and then we have a lot of drama and schemes.

There's almost no romance, but even so the narrative is not boring. And +1 point for the great translation work and update schedule. <<less

I thought it was good but nope, it's just so so.

The MC personality makes me drop this novel. She's kinda naive and not smart. Because of her naivety, innocent people died. She knew something was wrong, but she somehow "postponed" her action. If she just did it right away to help them, not waiting for tomorrow to come, she could have saved those people. Moreover, eventho she knew she couldn't trust a certain person, she let that certain person in charge of people's life and the result? People died.

I'm talking about how all of those orphans died in the treatment center
