Yeah, I'm also surprised that this is manga/webtoon. I'm too used seeing manhwa all over the place.
Did not plan to find anything good so soon. No really, I consider this a stroke of luck, a jackpot of search, beacause this manga / webtoon is simply adorable, I can't even express how fantastically fun and cute this is. I had so much fun reading it, I know it's not over and I will gladly continue following it. Eng version can be found on webtoon.
After reading now I understand why some want their man have a little wolfdog or a pup vibe, because this man n the cover is the exact embodiment of it. He is so good, he may have made few things hard for himself and for others because of his situation, but overall this man is perfectly good.
Their dynamic is so fun to follow, the art style truly elevated it. Those funny moments, ah loved them.
#fantasy, European ambience, comedy, romance, fated lovers
The story takes place in a fantasy land that has an on-going situation with a protective shield against monsters and demons. The ones at the forefront are those who are known as guardians and saints. Many wield magic in order to defeat the dark forces that try to seep through to the peaceful world, but the one who bears the most tragic fate is the Guardian and Raven is the current one who knows that his fate is sealed. There is also another person who wields incredible purifying magic and that is Estrella, also known as the Greatest Villainess of the Empire.Both of them did not cross paths when suddenly Raven's house receives an order from the Emperor to wed with the house of Sharens and his soon-to-be wife is none other than Estrella.She is known for her behavior and he is known for being a womanizer, but are these even true?
The very first meeting she comes to him and says I want to see you kneel. You're sitting there gaging because I never expected such a turn, but she has such an adorable personality with an awkward touch, but she also moves forward with such resolution.
She is truly the domineering one in this relationship, at one point she even compares herself to old lecher because Raven, who is a rumored womanizer is nothing more but a paper tiger, those rumors are not true and he never had a relationship with a woman. All his love will be given to Estrella.
But it doesn't mean she doesn't have the moments of doubts and vulnerability.
Can't consider this a spoiler, this is given quite early in the story, but Guardians are said to sacrifice themselves because they know no other way how to fix the seal that loses power over time. This is why he pushes any love or relationships away because he is such a kid boy who truly doesn't want anyone to hurt over him, but he still manages to attract a load of people with his kindness. Despite his fierce looks among his people they all know he is like a mother hen.
Estrella promised herself that she will do anything within her power to protect him. Our girl is built different.
The story is truly light-hearted, of course stakes are high, but the vibe of this work does not allow you to feel pressured. These two are like two cutie-patooties that are so fun to follow and root for.
SPOILERS~
Well, this also comes in early, but I still consider it a spoiler, Estrella has the memories of her past life where she and Raven knew each other. He loved her dearly, but she was afraid to put trust in another person, not realizing that he refusal will be her deepest and biggest regret. He sacrificed himself and before doing so he claimed he fell for another person, which Stella (her past name) passed as "well, it always happes". I have no idea what pushed her to be so distrustful, but she was devastated by his passing, because she actually loved him too, but was afraid.
This is how she is a strong character but vulnerable too. She lives with guilt that it is all her fault. But when she found the truth about the Guardian sacrifice she promised to do anything to protect him, so among all the people she is the first to do so openly.
On the other hand ML is also contradicting, because he knew the truth from a very young age, he almost talked himself into this, but deep down it's not like he isn't afraid. All his prior actions stem from the fact that one day he believes he will be gone, but with Estrella appearing he can't help but feel greedy for love.
