Synopsis
A modern-day police officer, scarred by romantic failure, awakens in a different era only to find his wish for a perfect spouse has backfired spectacularly. Instead of finding a partner, he is thrust into the role of the third lady within a decaying Hou's mansion, forced to maintain a feminine facade. The situation grows more convoluted as he discovers he is betrothed to a woman who is already married. Adding to the chaos, a mysterious system takes root in his mind, demanding he embody every facet of a devoted, domestic partner. This supernatural force pushes him toward a life of household sincerity and service, effectively attempting to mold him into the very ideal he once sought for another. The writing maintains a light, farcical energy, escalating through a series of identity crises and domestic mishaps. Those who enjoy absurd premises and the struggle against an overbearing, prescriptive system will find the friction entertaining, while those seeking a serious historical drama may find the premise too whimsical.

Editorial Review
The most significant advantage of this work is its concise, completed nature. At only 84 chapters, it avoids the common pitfall of endless padding, delivering its central conflict and resolution without unnecessary bloat. The irony of a masculine protagonist being forced into a submissive, domestic role by a magical system provides a consistent source of humor that drives the plot forward efficiently. However, the brevity of the story limits the depth of the world-building. The ruined Hou's mansion and the surrounding social dynamics are barely scratched, leaving the setting feeling like a backdrop rather than a living environment. Additionally, the lack of initial visibility suggests it may struggle to find an audience despite its polished conclusion. While the core concept is spirited, the execution feels slightly rushed in its attempt to wrap up the system's influence within such a short span.
