Description
“Call me Leopold.” ‘Leopold? The tyrant emperor Leopold that I know?’ To avoid death, Yerin, who had possessed the villainess Ariel in the novel, avoided Leopold for nearly ten years. She even went so far as to study abroad to stay away from him. Despite countless efforts, the man she spent one night with at her first social event turned out to be Leopold! What a twist of fate. She knew in her head that she shouldn’t get involved…., but her heart wanted him. “Promise me. Promise me that tonight will remain a secret for the rest of our lives.” “I promise.” As his words fell on her ears, Ariel, driven by her instincts, surrendered her body to him, wrapping her white legs around his waist, unwilling to allow even the slightest gap. *** Was it a mistake to believe in a promise spoken only in bed? “Where did you run off to after taking my first night?” “Why are you acting like this!” “It’s true that you stole my v*rginity, so I’m proposing a contractual marriage.” Ariel was being proposed to by the man who would eventually kill her. To add insult to injury, the conditions of the contract were even more absurd. “My desired condition for the contract is simple.” “This… What does it mean?” 「4. To be faithful in our relationship as a married couple.」 Is it okay for me to sign this contract?

My Thoughts on Stealing the Emperor’s First Night
I recently dove into "Stealing the Emperor's First Night," and I have mixed feelings. It wasn't a terrible read, but it didn’t blow me away either. The story has some interesting elements, but it also treads familiar ground in the fantasy romance genre.
First Impressions
Initially, the premise intrigued me. The idea of a strong female lead in a European-inspired setting, wielding both a sword and magic, felt like a refreshing twist. It promised a blend of action and romance, which is right up my alley.
What Works Well
I really appreciated the female lead's strength from the start. She's not a damsel in distress, and that's a huge plus. I was drawn to the idea of a sword-wielding, mana-using protagonist who could hold her own. The doting family dynamic, with loving parents and older siblings, also added a heartwarming touch to the story, providing a nice contrast to the more intense romantic elements. The romantic scenes, while mature, are well-written and contribute to the overall plot progression, focusing on first love and the development of a deep connection between the main characters.
Areas of Concern
My biggest disappointment was the underdevelopment of the female lead's fighting capabilities. While the story initially highlights her strength, it seems to sideline this aspect later on. The fact that her powers get sealed and she spends a significant portion of the story without them felt like a missed opportunity. I was hoping for more action and fight scenes showcasing her abilities. I also found the male lead's overprotective behavior a bit grating at times, especially since the female lead is clearly capable. It felt like it undermined her character and made her seem less independent than she initially appeared.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Stealing the Emperor's First Night" is a decent read if you're looking for a fairly standard fantasy romance with a strong female lead and doting family. However, don't expect a completely unique plot or groundbreaking character development. It's a good way to pass the time, but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me.
