The stories each present to us a different type of anxiety, prejudice, and all kinds of experiences a pregnancy would get, regardless of being female or male. The only chapter I didn't really like is ch 5 where the husband is very insensitive and borderline abusive (emotionally) to his wife. They never got a closure about his behavior to his wife when she was pregnant, and his behavior now that he's the one who's pregnant.

Ch1: about a girl who is a reincarnation of a ghost's former lover who she supposedly committed a failed double suicide with Ch2: a story of a vampire who turned white because he lost his fangs Ch3: a girl who committed suicide got turned into a vampire. A story of her and the one who witnessed her suicide Ch4: a girl who's sold off to marry an old man tries to escape her fate by kidnapping a noble in hopes to make him fall in love with her and save her fate . . . Commentary (so I kinda remember because I have bad memory lol): I love ch1's ending. I would've hated it if it ended like other shoujo mangas with the girl falling in love with the ghost even though she already has someone she loves. (Like seriously, the ghost dude is creepy and too obsessed with the girl even though she's not the same person as her reincarnation). 7/10 Chapter 2 is... Okay, i guess? It didn't stick to me :/ 4/10 I like the disparity between the last two chapters. A girl got "kidnapped" and the other one is the kidnapper. One turned into a vampire in the beginning, the other at the end. Yet both are the same with regards to their complex and hate for their own life leading them to their vampirism. Both have realized their shortcomings, especially compared to the male lead. And both refused to let their loved one fall victim to the same fate. 9/10 (would be lower as individual stories, tbh, but I really liked them as a pair of stories)
