Clandestine Affair is a romantic fantasy manhua that has a total of 20 chapters. It started its release on December 23rd, 2023 and finished on October 16th, 2024.
The story is about Bai Yuetao, a woman who blames herself for her husband’s cheating behaviour. She meets another woman who is stuck in a mirror, Mengdie. Mengdie promises to help her in exchange for her body.
If you enjoy feminist stories, you will most likely appreciate this! Bai is somewhat naive and insecure at the start, but unlike many other stories, she is very brave and determined. Mengdie is intelligent and sly but has a more pessimistic view of things. It is not long until they are both willing to help one another however they can. Another thing to appreciate about this manhua, is that it is focused on the women and their journey of choosing their own way of life. They are not alone, as if they are the first ones to try, she actually meets and learns from others who have already done so. This gives a nice community feel that gives this story a special charm. As for the fantasy, it has a relatively small role and is mostly tied to the mirror.
Since this is a manhua, you can expect an art style that is full-colour and has quite a few flowers present. In this specific manhua it is worth mentioning that not all panels are even, and sometimes are also split into parts. You will see mostly dark, deep colours, which match really well with the overall vibe of the story and of course the fantasy part. An interesting detail is that all the men in this story do not have eyes and are often not fully in view. The women in this story however are drawn in much detail, especially the eyes.
