Summary: The author begins the story with some sort of siege. The main character is first introduced to us as a mistaken wife of some rich family to be sold off (aka human trafficking). Her real identity remains a mystery but it is indicated that she has had no real working experience. We come to know of her real personality (calculating) when some gentleman inquires about her Qin (instrument from ancient China) playing. With humorous undertones, their relationship develops, however, unknown to him are lurking secrets that she must keep if she wishes to keep her life. And, of course, lies upon lies form as ... she remains in enemy territory. Just who exactly is this "master" she serves and will her developing feelings for Zhen Beiwang interfere will her duties?

The art isn't the best I've seen but it's easy on the eyes. Really can't complain.

As for the characters, I love how the heroine is very intelligent and talented and although she is slightly manipulative, she does have a conscience and strong sense of duty and justice. In the story, however, she is said to be plain looking with a nice body but honestly speaking, she looks pretty enough to me (this seems to happen a lot). Her love interest, on the hand, is very handsome, successful and almost as calculating as she is….almost ;) But there are some implications of his cold and possessive personality as well. Sadly, there has been no character development at all. Why you may ask? Because only 6 chapters have been released and it's too soon for that to happen.

A not-so typical romance where partners stand on more equal grounds. Just like the main character, Ping (I think? The girl has many aliases), this manga entices and then ignores; leaving you wanting more.

This is a historical manga but if you've come looking for action, move on; it's more about deception and mental warfare.

Side-note: This is also a novel which I found to my delight because I couldn't help but want more. You can read it here:

It picks up on page 9 of chapter 6.

Although it isn't tagged as comedy, I think any one who reads it will agree that it is.

For staters, the art is probably some of the best I've seen and quite different from this author's other work, 1/2 Prince. If your looking for a manga similar to that, I wouldn't recommend reading this.

Most of the characters have outer facades they work hard on maintaining. Why? Because as a guardian/knight, they each have "images" to keep. The main protagonist is Creus Sun, the Sun knight. Usually, it's quite hard to place good sarcasm in manga but here, it's very, very amusing.

As for the plot, because of ... it's supernatural elements and conspiracies *ahem*, there are a few points that can be misleading which, of course, keeps it interesting especially with the humorous overtones.

If your looking for a sarcastic and witty manga, look no further and give this manga I try. It's a bit slow on updating but also one of the few manga I don't mind reading over and over again =D

WARNING: If your overly-religous, then do NOT read this manga. It doesn't necessarily mock religion but you might find it offensive it some ways. If you still insist on reading it, I won't (or rather can't) stop you but hey, I warned you.

I should first start by informing you that volume 2 is NOT a continuation of volume 1 but a revision. Personally, I think it's good enough to re-read it again but I enjoyed the first version better. Although, volume 2 is a re-write, the story is developed farther so I recommend that you read it.

The characters are fairly common with Choi Ha Ram as the female protagonist (violent and energetic) but the story, itself, is amusing and funny. The plot is slightly different from your regular shoujo manga especially because of the supernatural element and interesting twists that come along the way. I particularly ... enjoying watching Ha Ram and Yu Ga On's (ghost) relationship develop and like any good story, mysteries lie closer than you might think. Overall, it's a nice read. Time will be well spent.
