The Prince & His Sloth by K_Jira

In progress: 33.1 k | 22 ch | Fantasy, Romance

Review by UM3:

The synopsis: --"Let that child do as he wishes. Maybe someday God of Fate will drop his soulmate out of the sky because of frustration."

Is exactly it (●´ω｀●) ~ now I'm hopping someone up there would drop me soulmate from the sky as well!!

I'm usually not one to read ongoing chapters but---a cold body lying on the floor wrapped with its own hair?! 's certainly one tempting image! Hahahha! And so, I didn't realize how engrossed I was until I reached the latest chapter! That is to say; I was hooked (~￣▽￣) ~ although there were a few that would do with better PR, it was still quite a smooth read! Give it a try and join me in praying for more chapters! Thanks for sharing and hope to read more!
