Following a life of bloodshed and heartbreak, the great Empress Martina is reborn as Astina, the genius daughter of a humble count. But her peaceful world is shattered when bankruptcy forces her father to marry her off to the dangerous Archduke Atalenta. All of high society knows him as "Terriod the Beast" because of a family curse that turned him into a wild monster. Luckily, even the deadly beast of Atalenta is no match for the former empress's mighty sword. Everyone is shocked when the new archduchess tames her husband all too easily and takes over as the family head. No one's more surprised than Astina, however, when her casual kiss returns Terriod to his human form. Not only does he resemble her past life lover, but he has no memory of her from his wolf days. Despite these awkward circumstances, can the new power couple join hands to rule over the archduchy? (Source: Tappytoon)

Read the full take

A former empress who lived a life of bloodshed is reborn as a count's clever daughter, and her world is upended when she is married off to a man whose family carries a dark curse. The premise pairs a fierce heroine with a dangerous, misunderstood husband.The strongest element is the heroine. Her hard-won skill with the sword and her blunt political sense make her a fun lead, and the swordplay gives the story a lively edge. The long strip format suits the action beats well.The weakness is familiarity. Royal romance-fantasy follows many expected patterns, and the curse and court politics can become tangled. The supporting characters are less developed than the central pair.If you enjoy reincarnation romance with a strong heroine and swordplay, it is a solid pick. It is more energetic than tender. Expect courtly scheming, a determined lead and a romance that starts from an unlikely place.
