***
In Tilly's past life, she was a villainess who neglected her husband and son for power. Then, the "real woman of the prophecy" came and took them away from her. When she failed to seize the throne for herself, she was executed for all the crimes she committed.
Then, came her rebirth.
She wants to meet her son again so she vowed to be a good person this time. Good enough to seduce Captain Kiho--- her husband in her past life.
But soon, she realized that flirting with the captain is the least of her worry. After all, she discovered that her "evilness" in the past was caused by the true villain--- someone who wanted her dead to steal the special power that she didn't know she possessed.
Power that has something to do with the Four Ancient Beasts of the Moonchester Empire: The Red Phoenix, the Blue Dragon, the Golden Tiger, and The Black Serpent.
Apparently, she's the Beast Priestess...
... and her lineage isn't supposed to exist anymore.
Because of her blood, there are people who want her gone.
So now, aside from having a happy life with Kiho and their son, she has a new goal: to burn down the b*tches who want to ruin her family again.

[EXCERPT]
***
[‘Why am I so horny tonight?’]
Tilly thought to herself while sucking the crab leg suggestively. And then, she noticed that Captain Kiho gulped while staring at her mouth.
[‘Ah, I’m not the only who’s hot and bothered here.’]
She didn’t know if it was the alcohol in her system or her desperation to have a child…
… but she suddenly felt like flirting with him.
They were bound to get married and have a child together anyway.
“Captain,” said Tilly as soon as she pulled the crab leg out of her mouth. “I can clearly see that we’re both attracted to each other. Shall we spend the night together?”
Kiho remained pokerfaced but she saw panic cross his now glowing yellowish eyes. Ah, the captain was flustered. “My lady, you seem to be really drunk.”
She walked towards him and when he didn’t move an inch, she stood in front of him and looked up at him with a grin. “Captain, are you the type of man who will only sleep with his betrothed?”
“That seems to be the case, my lady.”
He said that as if he was forcing the words out of his mouth. Plus, she could see in his eyes that he was conflicted– that it was hard for him to reject her.
[‘Aw, I didn’t know that I have this kind of effect on my ex-husband.’]
Or perhaps she just didn’t pay attention in the past.
“Captain, I have a solution to your problem,” said Tilly in a playful voice. Then, she stood on her toes and whispered in Kiho’s ear. “Let’s get married.”

Let me just start off by with this: this novel never crossed my mind to read it because of the TITLE. It honestly reminds me of many popular translated (I guess not translated as well) Chinese novel titles on here that feel shallow and flat. Though I am up-to-date with the current chapter I’m still not an advocate for the title even now. HOWEVER, let’s just say that in this case the story overpowers my disapprovement of the title that much more. This novel popped up on my recommended novel list for the 7 day reading challenge. With little to nothing I wanted to choose to read from, I decided to give it a shot since who doesn’t like a hot ML who’s a captain?! (plus other reviews who claimed the novel is fluff & candies++👍🏻) Anyways, I’m very impressed that I was hooked onto the story within the first 5 chapters. As mentioned in the synopsis, FL was given another chance to live her first life. She changes for the better and becomes a much more mature and charming person (plus a bit of feistiness to top it off😉). And it’s even better that she and the ML meet near the beginning of the novel🥰 Their love is to die for! They have great trust in one another, good communication to prevent major misunderstandings, and so much fluff and PDA for readers to gladly drown in😂 No shame! AND ML is such a cutie and deserves the world❤️ He is very respectful and always gets the consent of FL before he engages in anything intimate with her. They really are each other’s world🥺 (Heck, where’s my Kiho out there?!😒) The story progression feels very steady despite the two leads jumping into their romance right off the bat. But there is still a good pace that it follows to further heighten and reinforce their relationship. A couple of grammar and spelling errors but it is dismissable and doesn’t hinder the reading progress. Overall, LOVE the story so far. I remember the author mentioning how the story might end between 200-250 chapters, which I think is a wise idea. I can see how this novel could be extended with longer arc lines and more fillers to drag the story out to 300-400 chapters. But I think the value of those -250 chapters will far over weigh that of something more lengthy for the sake of adding more. Lady ‘Crab Goddess’ Tilly X Captain ‘Cinnamon Roll’ Kiho fighting!🥰❤️ And fighting, dear Author! Take care of your health and those around you to give us more lovely content🙈🤗
AMAZING!!! Its definitely not your typical villainess story! Its super cute, and the plot twists later on really have you on edge! In the vast ocean of rebirth/villainess stories, this is one to look out for! :)
Definitely recommended! I ended up binge read all the available chapter😂 The chapter length is very comfortable along with the plot development. This story will make you hooked up and wanting more especially to know more about the mystery and conspiracy circulating princess nia and the fire mages... Perhaps there's more to it? Obviously, don't forget about the romance between Tilly and Kiho. Their relationship development is fast but at a comfortable paced. Their interactions always keep me smiling the whole time😍 Tilly shamelessness is no joke when it comes to making Winter😂 I wonder what will they be like when Winter is born? Also, can I get a Kiho for myself too, author? I hope more people would discover this story in the future and best regards to you author! Your writing skills is great, I barely noticed a grammar mistake too. As a reader, please continue to write with passion and don't overwork yourself❤️ Great things always took time in my opinion. A big thanks to you author for writing the story🤗❤️Looking forward for your future work too!❤️❤️❤️ Stay safe and healthy everyone!💕

Awesome story ❤❤❤ml is so cute. Fl is really smart.she knows her mistake and is trying to change her relationship with the ml and helping him.I am also waiting for winter💓💓💓💓
If you like Romance, sort of redemption for the Female protagonist, cute fluffy moments, fairly realistic interactions, three-dimensional characters you will love this story!!! I am advent fan of other world stories, this story has definitely become one of my favorites!!! The story is written quite well and has obviously been story boarded. If not written well it would have become confusing. The FL situation is like queen with a scalpel (but not half as annoying personally). The ML is a gem!!! And I am looking forward to their child!!! With only a few chapters the author definitely surprises you, delivering a very sweet story that gives you a break from just lust filled romance (even though the are good looking main characters), to pure love story due to hilarious reasons might I add which I Love !!!
If u search a story with smart FL, cute adorable innocent big wolf ML then this is it. Im glad i found this book, it's so refreshing with so many fluffy fluffy moments 💓💕💓💕
WOW! This is so good! Like really really good! FL is smart and funny... ML is protective and adorably innocent at times... I highly recommended this book!!! Good job author!!! 👍👍👍👍
Author-san, I really really love this novel... I love the FL who is trying hard to repent from her mistakes towards 2 important persons in her life namely her husband n son I could tell her constant effort to support, encourage, protect n love the ML And do i need to emphasize the existence of a 'monster' ML towards others n gentle n doting towards his beloved FL No one would refuse that kind of ML in their life rite???🥰🥰🥰
I love the story. Both ML and FL are great! The story also has a nice pace. Thumbs up! Keep up the good work author. Looking forward to more amazing chapters.
the works of the author is amazing that you dont wish to put down the novel whether it's this or others by the author...the only disappointing thing is this being the first novel is still not complete and the author is writing many more. I have already lost track of the storyline cos its been so long. though I love her works but seeing how all her novels r incomplete yet she's starting new ones, am not sure if n when she will complete this novel. So henceforth I will only read her novel once its complete.
wow just wow...it's one of the best books I have ever read . ...n I'm extremely excited to reach till the end....this book has drama , emotions pain,love , passion , everything a book reqiures to last expression on ones life...damn author your book has made me cry, laugh, blush and happy...and last but not the least I'm waiting for their happy ending author
Wow That is all I have to say. The book is astronomical and i just can't stop reading it all over again and waiting for more updates. The characters are amazing as well! And I stan for a power couple like kiho and tilly! Cant wait for baby winter to come into the world! Keep up the great work author san🔥👋
I am shameless enough to give this novel a second review. Maybe you remember my first review hehehe. This novel deserves a 2nd good review. Who knows perhaps in the future I will give a third review. After all all good things go in threes according to Rumpelstiltskin. I really hope that author will make more novels which I will fully support. Tell me author where have you been all the time? Why did you not show up earlier to bless us with your novels? But if you stop after this novel I will find you and slap you to senses. Ýeah I am not a tolerant person 😋.

This story is really good! The FL is smart and trying her best to change her life for the better. While the ML is protective and adorably innocent (except in a certain room 😉) Hehehe am also excited to meet baby Winter and see that evil witch’s downfall hmph 😤
I am enjoying this beautiful book so far and I can't wait to read more updates about the love and growth of Tilly and Kiho. Looking forward to seeing Tilly become a Fire Mage and a powerful Lady. Kudos to u dear author.
You need to read this novel!!! (This review is based on chapters up to the 82nd) Firstly, this is not your typical reincarnation story. The story is full of mysteries that will never fail to hook you. The plot is multi-layered so you won’t be able to guess everything in one go, hence it’s not boring or predictable. I love how author reveal one thing after another in a pace that is neither too slow nor too hasty. So, there is not one chapter that I find boring or unnecessary. This is such a nice thing because sometimes I find stories (even those that I really like) to be dragging or too slow. I can totally feel that the plot is well thought and solid. Secondly, I love how the chapters are quite long. So even if author only updates one chapter daily, but the reading experience is kind of similar to reading 2 chapters daily. So even though the novel has only 82 chapters as of now, but I think it is quite comparable to 150 chapters of most other novels. So far I’ve only encountered 2 or 3 books in webnovel that publish long chapters like this one. So I really really love the author for this. And so far the update seems regular; one chapter daily with extra chapter once in a while. Thirdly, I love the character build in this story. For starter, I so very much in love with both the main couple. The FL was supposedly a villainess in her first life but seems like there is some conspiracies behind the happenings in her previous life. And I love how thoroughly author incorporated the legend of a phoenix in her character; from how she lives a few life with one being better than the previous to her being the heart of phoenix. She is lovely, smart and has a mature beauty; beautiful face with a seductive body. The ML is portrayed as a very good looking man. But because he had lived a very hard life since young, he is quite aloof and quiet. But after meeting the FL, he starts changing and find enjoyment in interacting with her. He is notorious for being the ‘shadow beast’ but personality he is a gentleman through and through. He fits with the saying ‘gentleman in the streets, beast in the sheets’ 😝. I really love how he is with the FL. Their love and passion for each other are to die for and I love every fluffy and steamy moments of them 😆. So, give this a try and you’ll love it!
