The negative reviews scared the hell out of me, but it honestly wasn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. If I could choose among the three, ofc I'd rather she ends up with Carsein since he was just the sweetest. But I'm not really mad at the fact that she chose Ruve either. Yes, Ruve was such an asshole in the first timeline, but he didn't do anything wrong in the second timeline. This was all because Tia decided to change after she went back in time by opening up and welcoming people into her life instead of pushing everyone away just to be the "perfect future empress." With the changes in herself as well as her decisions, the people around her also started to change like a butterfly effect; this includes Ruveliss. Let's be honest here, if we all go back 7-8 years from now and change our experiences, would we still be who we are today? Absolutely not. To be fair, Ruve hated Tia because she was taking away all the attention and love from the people he loves, but it most likely wouldn't have led to the heineous acts that he commited in the first timeline if it wasn't for the fact that.......



Anyways, I enjoyed it quite a lot, but the ending wasn't really satisfying whatsoever. It would have been amazing if we got to see Ruve and Tia growing old together; kinda like a reassurance that Tia didn't end up making the wrong decision, again. And what happened to Carsein and Allendis after Tia became the empress? and JiEun? (gosh I feel so bad for her after knowing what happened). I guess it couldn't have been helped since the author was getting death threats and had to rush the ending just because some people feel entitled to have everything their way.

I don't see how the author was promoting abusive behavior though. You could say that if the story continued on the same timeline, but it wasn't. From the way I see it, the author touches upon how nobody is really born with a predetermined personality, and that we are all shaped through our environment. And our decisions and the way we interact with others affect them just as much as it affects us. It's a nice manhwa and definitely worth the read if you are able to look beyond the surface.

Here i was shipping her so bad with the red-hair boy, he was arrogant and obnoxious at first but he gradually got better and better. Yet she still chose that cheating abusive murdering rapist?

But I REALLY hope that she does not end up with the prince (like she does in the book) because he is a literal r*pist. No thank you..

Here some other similiar or better manga if anyone interested

This started off as a super popular fantasy romance novel on a Korean web novel site. I think it was among the first that had a main character who would be considered the "rival girl" in a typical "travel to a fantasy world" type story. It spawned a lot of knock-offs that imitated the idea, and I think the author took it down after a while because there was too much copyright-related drama happening.

I don't really know if this is the first of its kind or not, but to me it was the first. So, it holds a special place in my heart. I remember the author's storytelling was really smooth and attention-grabbing. Though it's unfortunate that a lot of it is lost in translation, I'm grateful that there's a comic version of this so more people can recognize this author's work.

Story starting pretty good but story writing got worse trough the chapters ...

Art is amazing, I really love it. The female main character... I like that she's smart and kind and hard working.
I read up until Chapter 21 because there was a spoiler of the story's ending left by the translator, at the end of the chapter. It was a very, VERY disappointing and undesired ending, that I just couldn't keep reading, I dropped it.

While I can't fault this as being a terrible piece of manhwa, the sheer sugary feel of the art just put me off. One of the male contenders for the FL's hand has a intensely green hair and my eyes just hurt from looking at it! The plot even shows some faint promise (being different people in different timelines, due to change of circumstance - possible of not?), and I love it when a pseudo 18th century ML has the hairdo and attitude of a 16 year old emo-spoiled brat from the 21st century. But that's isekai for you! FL wasn't too impressive but had a powerful and understandably emotional moment pretty early on so it did surprise me, but not enough to continue reading it. Since I am not a big shojou fan, maybe this was all pretty predictable. But stil, I repeat, not that bad!
