Saw this on the otome Isekai reddit, was hella confused by the description and read it somewhere else some days ago.
It's a very good story, the system is teaching the ML to be a good guy to his wife and for the moment, he's clueless lol. He treats her with respect thinking she's someone else's wife (aka the dead puppy's wife) but it does hurt MC since she doesn't know it's a "different person with different memories".
Here's my theory: after drinking rat poison, his soul transferred to another world resembling earth, the system erased his memories, trained him to be a strong hunter with all sorts of skills and abilities (including cooking). And then he returned back to the dead body after trying to claim quest reward on earth. The puppy guy did say he would be reborn as a better person who would love MC.
If you completed reading the greatest real estate developer, this is similar to that.
Can't get over how the characters casually research goblin's phlegm for potions. Granted, there are worse "ingredients" in other mangas, manhwas, manhuas and irl, it still makes me gag.
Random fact: Apparently irl, musk is extracted from a deer's certain organs. So maybe the author is going for a similar approach for medicine in this story.
ASEXUAL REPRESENTATION LET'S GOOOO I FEEL SO SEEN, UNDERSTOOD AND VALIDATED
There are so many great examples of healthy communications in this manga. The main characters openly admit their flaws, talk about their differences and accept. Reading this felt like getting some refreshing cool mint in my heart.
I love how in chapter 2, the curly haired guy looks at black hair's rambling passionately about his hobbies so genuinely warmly. This is how you know someone is so in love with you!











Pretty much beating a dead horse at this point, I'm still so darn curious as to who Irene's mom's first love is because his hair was long lol
He's probably a war hero from the imperial family cuz there's a panel where we hear the prince talk about war heroes with a potrait in the background which looks exactly like Irene's mom's first love
