PSA: The Citrus Aurora translation is EXCELLENT but they're doing half-chapters and they're not labeled as such. I'm up to chapter 84 on CA but had to switch to chapter 42 on Kakaopage to keep reading the story.So far, this is a cute, fluffy story!! Don't go into it expecting one of the next magnificent works of fiction and you'll be fine. There's no artificially manufactured misunderstandings or angst for the sake of angst. You find out in the first chapters that Dale is actually the emperor and keeping Enya in the dark is a long, running second plotline between him and his aides in the palace. I didn't expect that at all but I kinda love it now. Hahahaha.As another reviewer mentioned, our MC isn't the paragon of street smarts or a master strategist, but she does squeeze everything out of what she's got. Her great plan to stay out of the emperor's eyes was to milk every possible crime and seed of corruption out of the original novel she transmigrated into and parcel where to find evidence of those crimes slowly over time to the authorities in the palace. Her aim is to keep the emperor so busy that he has no time to look for her and it WORKS! For three years, anyway. He's in a massively overworked and exhausted state by the time he finds her. (It hasn't told us how he found her, though, yet.) She happily bubbles about this to her faithful contract husband (the aforementioned, exhausted emperor) and his reaction was *chef's kiss*.The emperor has two very good reasons for wanting her as a wife, though. Aside from him being -completely- smitten with her.Spoiler
There's hints that they met as children, and there was some accident, and she forgot about him.
Also, he's dying and he needs her transmigrator buff abilities to help save him. Her ability to smell what ailment someone has (the translation says diseases but she can also smell if someone is poisoned) awoke at the same time as her memories of her past life.
[collapse]We've just run into another main actor and a plotline with someone impersonating Enya, so I'm heading over to Kakaopage to read the rest.
