Sweet little story. The only minus for me that they confess fact they both regressed to each other only in last chapters.

For those who complain about age - guys this is middle age nobility. Second - they waited for fl adulthood for mariage. Third - fl asked for marriage (engagement) at her debute when it normal to look for potential husbands. And last they loved each other before regress as adults so ML didn't fall for kid but for adult woman and only wanted to remove posibility that she marry some other guy.

I tried, I really really tried and read up the chapter 6, but this is very shallow at best. You need to turn your brain off just to read it. It’s just not for me I guess but I’ll keep on reading it and give it a chance it might develop into something great.

The first half of the synopsis was really starting to intrigue me. And then I read the second half...
