Description
These two families, which appear in the most beloved proverb of the Lutinas Empire, are known throughout the country as arch-enemies. Among the two families renowned for their swordsmanship, I was reborn as Cherrya Emblem, the cherished daughter of the Emblem Duchy. In my previous life, I was an Inspector who lived a rough life and was killed by a criminal. This new life felt like a reward, but… “You’re going to become boring. You and the Emblem family will both grow weak.” “Say that again, you bastard!” I was betrothed to Enoch Gray, the heir of the Gray family, with whom I had fought and competed like mortal enemies since we were babies! All due to the scheming of our mothers who sought to bring harmony between our families! Just the thought of being engaged to Enoch, with whom I exchanged punches and sword strikes whenever our eyes met, made me want to bite my tongue as I arrived at the engagement ceremony, where I encountered an unexpected foe. “Didn’t you miss me, Inspector?” “You can’t be!” Enoch Gray, my enemy in this life, was also my enemy in my previous life. Enoch, who had regained his memories of our past life, used his sickeningly sweet voice and crazed eyes to try and claim the spot beside me, and his changes gradually disrupted my once quiet surroundings. “I can’t just stand by and watch to let Sir Gray steal your heart too.” Starting with my lord, the Crown Prince, “I tolerated it because it was a formal engagement. I can’t stand seeing you waver toward Sir Gray, Commander.” Even my lifelong aide began to bare his teeth and guard against Enoch. Of course, the thing that tormented me the most was, “After you died like that, Inspector, you don’t know how mad I went. Cherrya, you have no idea.” Enoch Gray, my enemy in the past life and my rival in this one. It was him.

My Thoughts on Enemies Meet at the Engagement Ceremony
"Enemies Meet at the Engagement Ceremony" had me intrigued from the get-go. The premise – enemies forced into an arranged marriage in a fantasy setting – is a classic trope, but the execution is what truly matters. After diving in, I found myself both charmed and a little conflicted, making for a layered reading experience.
First Impressions
The initial chapters pulled me in with the promise of a compelling enemies-to-lovers dynamic. The European-inspired setting is vividly portrayed, and the childhood rivalry between the protagonists is immediately apparent. It's clear from the start that this isn't just a fluffy romance; there's a depth and complexity hinted at beneath the surface.
What Works Well
What I appreciate most about this story is its commitment to character development, especially for the female protagonist. The story doesn't rush into romance, instead dedicating considerable time to her growth from a child into a young adult. This allows us to truly understand her motivations and appreciate her evolution. I also found the balance between humor, sadness, and triumphant moments to be expertly handled. The author creates distinct characters that I found myself rooting for, even when they were at odds. The world-building is also well done, with enough detail to create a believable fantasy setting without overwhelming the reader.
Areas of Concern
While the slow-burn romance is a strength in some ways, I can see how it might frustrate readers eager for a more immediate connection between the leads. The "enemies" part of the equation is definitely emphasized early on, and the transition to "lovers" takes its time. This isn't necessarily a flaw, but it's something to be aware of if you're looking for a quick and passionate romance.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Enemies Meet at the Engagement Ceremony" is a promising web novel with a lot to offer. If you enjoy stories with strong character development, a well-built fantasy world, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, this might be exactly what you're looking for. Just be prepared to be patient as the relationship unfolds and enjoy the journey of the characters' growth.
