EDIT: Don't waste your time. Just go read/watch What's Wrong With Secretary Kim.
FL knows the ending of the story is a tragedy. ML will either die or kill someone or something REALLY bad is going to happen. Yet she's trying to force the original!FL and ML together so it "follows the book"...which WILL lead to this bloodbath.
Seriously?
Neither does FL do ANYTHING to prevent the evil Dowager Empress from continuing her stupidity and plans. Bch, you know what's going to happen and you're just going to keep your head hunkered down? You'll just continue to be the secretary, and that's it?!?!???
And when FL realize original!FL is not who she should be...because original!FL is now a transmigrator...this absolute moron doesn't do anything to make sure the story does not get shoved back into the original plotline. I mean, sure, FL warns and slaps the fake!original!FL but FL the prevents the ML from killing this fake...for reasons?
Like, girrrrl, the fake's "killing intent" was so intense it actually triggered the very sensitive ML (as it should. He's the goddamn Emperor. He better have trigger reflexes and keen instincts if only out of sheer self preservation.) to immediately draw his sword on the fake. It also causes his knights to do the same.
That killing aura alone should've had the fake executed for daring to show it when the emperor was around but nooooo. FL's all "No Killing"!!!! Ugh. Would've fixed half the damn plot right there.
EDIT: Came back to try and reread this 2 years later. It's even worse than I remembered. I must have blacked out the most horrible parts.
The ending is so breathtakingly stupid I actually hoped they all just died together.
In the end a literal deus ex machina is what made everything right again.
It feels so unsatisfying.
FL and ML couldn't make it to the end without a literal God helping them achieve it. They didn't reach their happy ending through their own merits OR efforts.
I don't trust the FL or ML with kids 😒
After finding out about his first life neither ML nor FL thought about the kids ML had with the bitch OG!FL. Worse, it looked like ML was actually a really good father to them but now they're forgotten. Just like that?
Not even a twinge of conscience, not even a thought of maybe their souls will come back as ML and FL's own children. Nothing? At all?
Whew! That's cold, man. Cold.
Went from 1.5 stars to 0 but since I can't give that, I'll just put 1 instead.
