For people who are less familiar with these tropes, I think this story would be an accessible entry point. The story does this a lot: it gives me the shiny thing I wanted or a plot point I expected, only to take it in a completely different direction and give it a nice, hefty whack so the shitty parts of the tropes fall out and tail the things I like are left.
Second female dating Cardboard villainess? Or fluidity between different systems of spirituality common in East Asia and other parts of the world? Would some biblical references interest you? More than merely smiting the ick see more my catnip, the entire story is this wonderful with of fantastical and grounded, tropey and realistic. We tail the tragic consequences of various behaviour patterns that have carried forward into the present, which imbued each moment of choice with a sense of danger and angst.
Sometimes I felt like I was angsting harder than them! You can do the other thing!

Both sides were shown with such honesty and poignancy in the story. Chuffed as I am with how dynamically it explored relationships, the dating is not without its flaws. These are all easy fixes and the story would have been more awesome had they been spotted and with.
I completely bought into what the characters were feeling and got everything I needed to be invested in the relationships.

This reads a lot like a K-drama, and I think dating people who like those would like this story. As far as reincarnation, fox spirit, reverse harem, must-marry-or-else fated love stories go, this story is a pretty grounded take. I know! How can I say that with a straight face?

I really enjoyed this one too and you make some great points about it. Plus, I liked being able to read a story that ends in 50 ish episodes. I love long ones too, but sometimes getting a whole story in fewer episodes is so nice.
