I have so many questions. I am caught up with manhwa chapter 60 raw. I am extremely excited about the future arc. There are so MANY mysteries. 1. Regina's knowledge regarding the book. The plot of "forbidden fruit of Isotta" is just so convoluted. I still can't believe OG Regina blackmailed Arsene for things and that's why she got killed. I refuse to believe that. I also can't believe that Novel Arsene didn't have one sided love for Isotta and that it was reciprocated but later for some reason Isotta fell out of love with Arsene and instead fell in love with Ruairi. So inconsistent with novel heroines. 2. The book of events that Regina wrote is blank now. This makes me ASSUME that Regina might have dreamt about the book. She might be a regressor instead of a transmigrator.. someone might be messing with her memories. Regina is DEFINITELY an unreliable narrator of the story. So her conclusions and assessment can NOT be taken as FACTS. 3. The mysterious voice Regina heard in chapter 36. It is definitely GOD. They said that Regina was always supposed to be here. I am sure that this Regina is the OG Regina's soul. She might have been reincarnated in the modern World. 4. Lady Aconite was a plot point. Seems incomplete. 5. I miss Regina's family especially Edwin. He is a babe. It has been chapter 60 but we haven't seen Edwin and Arsene interact much. I want to see overprotective brother Edwin vs. Arsene 6. Too many panels are wasted on Empress dowager btch!! I don't want to see that much. 7. It's just a wish of mine but I wanted a panel of Arsene pining over Regina and holding the handkerchief she gifted Arsene during hunting. Because it is the only gift she gave Arsene. I found manhwa raws on newtoki website. 9. I read most of the novel spoiler but those were mostly about Regina and Arsene's wedding night. I want to know about the middle portion too. The mysterious healing powers, the plot of the book "forbidden fruit of Isotta", Regina's soul.
Read the RAW version of manhwa.... Man I was so shocked at the characters' reactions and actions. Spoiler: Chapter 61 Honestly I was expecting Arsene to be angry but I was pleasantly surprised to see him so subdued and clingy. I can't guess what Regina will do next. I can't guess at all. Arsene and Regina are behaving strangely. Arsene still hasn't questioned why she ran away and Regina still hasn't questioned Arsene why he chased her. I was expecting a screaming shouting match with emotionally charged argument. But all we got was a clingy Duke & passive Regina.
I really like the manhwa so far... I'm a suspicious person by nature and always feel frustrated with naive and gullible FLs. Regina strikes me as smart, cautious, and independent - legitimately willing to give up her life of luxury for freedom after ensuring her parents will be safe. She's observant and I really liked the "Logan introduction" arc where a lot of FLs would have been written to be ~so blinded by his good looks~ or whatever that they lost their brains... instead she is suspicious from the get-go (rightfully so!) but not overly judgmental. It's a very realistic portrayal that a lot of current manhwas, especially in this genre, lack. Overall, this one stands out because I really dislike any characterization of women that feeds on these brainless tropes or is just so OP that their character development falls to the wayside. Regina does have unique powers, but those aren't enough to magic away all of her real-life issues, so we get to see her as a *person* struggling and progressing. Her powers just are another skill she utilizes. Also, I appreciate that the author told us that Arsene is a possessive character *and* delivered on that. Not just "oh he's a psychopath with lots of trauma except to our sweet FL because now he's magically healed uwu" because fam that isn't how any of that works and I'm sick of pretending that it does *cue meme*. He's a very flawed character with a buttload of unaddressed developmental trauma who is re-learning what it means to be close to someone. No wonder he thinks he has to "possess" her. And now he is going to have to change and grow a lot if he wants to be with her. Because we as the readers understand that no matter how many times he catches her, Regina is the sort of strong-willed character who will keep fighting. Ugh did I mention I love this manhwa lol
No spoiler yet? I mean about the plot after arsene caught her. About the empress dowager's end, about couple's love life, etc
I don't question Novel version of Arsene killing off Regina because according to prologue she had the audacity to blackmail him. But I have decided that the novel probably doesn't even exist and it's all made up in Regina's mind ( kind of like another manhwa EWaM.....) Regina is definitely an unreliable narrator. Too many plot holes in the original novel. Why would novel Regina blackmail Arsene? She had a loving family. Why would isotta and Kaj be friends with a greedy person like Regina? This supposed NOVEL is the root of all evil. I tried to search for spoilers to see whether any of theories were correct but didn't find any information. I hope the author can tie up loose ends nicely Because I see too many plot holes so far I enjoy assessing situations from different perspectives. There have been some revenge based manhwa where FL falls in love with some man pretending to be kind with ulterior motives (the souless duchess) then gets a second chance at life to undo the wrongs of the past and take revenge. I see ppl in the comment section cursing those FL's for being naive and trusting men tok easily while in this manhwa FL is extremely distrustful and sceptic of ML's actions and intentions I think Regina is terrified of not only getting killed by Arsene but also of unrequited love. She is convinced that Arsene is destined to fall in love with Isotta. Raelianna also had similar fears regarding Noah and Beatrice. I'm an extremely cautious person with severe defense mechanism. I protect my heart severely. If a man like Arsene ( who fell in love with my friend in the novel I read about and believe to be currently living inside) showed interest in me then I would run away as well. I don't want this type of uncertainty in relationships. I would be paranoid ( like FL from kiss 6th sense) I enjoy assessing situations from different perspectives.

Can anyone please tell me what happened to the 3rd brown haired prince? The real son of the current queen. He's not shady or evil like his mother and was even showed to be shocked and scared when he secretly found his mother killing some guy with that magical demon(?) and hearing plans about harming Regina. He also seemed to like her as a friend. I hope he's not killed off ☹️

I can't access n3wt0ki website anymore. I scrolled through all the posts available here in this forum. We have spoilers about what would happen on their wedding night Cough *smut* cough!!! But I am also curious about the middle portion of the story. There's so much mystery and subplots. 1. Lady Aconite. Isotta had a bad feeling regarding her. She ended up getting injured while protection Regina. We didn't see much of her after that. We went straight to the running away and Cyril arc. 2. The book (the root of all problems). I still believe that this Regina is the original Regina. I don't think there's any book. Regina's memories might be distorted or perhaps she reincarnated to modern times and then transmigrated BACK to the original historical period. I am curious about this Rastein god and its powers. 3. Regina's powers will definitely play a HUGE role. Empress dowager must be planning to use corpses and human sacrifice to summon a huge monster/ demon to usurp Regina's healing regeneration powers. I personally believe that Regina is the reincarnation of the 1st empress and she must also have fire powers too. 4. Ruairi, Arsene and Logan have three different mothers but same father. I am curious about Ruairi's and Arsene's maternal family. There's been no mention of their maternal houses. Does Ruairi have magical powers like Arsene too??? I love this manhwa because the misunderstandings are comical and there's barely any angst. I absolutely hate serious third wheel white lotus "friends" that hover around ML and torment the FLs. I am glad that Arsene is solely focused on Regina and that there is not any serious love for Regina. Isotta might have been the OG FL and Arsene's love BUT I'm extremely glad that in this particular timeline Isotta is Regina's friend first (she is more of a rival for Arsene ) I remember how stressed and depressed Raelianna was regarding Noah and Beatrice in the popular manhwa The Reason why Raelianna ended up at the Duke's Mansion. I could barely handle the angst there. I NEVER read "Wished You Were Dead" because the angst is so heavy. I cried for poor FL. I hate it when MLs parade around their other lovers in front of FLs and deliberately hurt them. Fortunately Arsene is devoted towards Regina. Logan, Kaj and Cyril are also NOT serious potential love interests. They are just comic relief and a mild source of jealousy for Arsene. That's why I LOVE this story
I haven't read the webtoon version in a long time... because I'm translating this novel... there are some details that are shortened... although the storyline is the same...
What was the Empress's reason for all of this fiasco though? Like why was power SO important to her that she decided to abandon her own son?
she just wanted to rule the empire by using her own son If i were the empress dowager, i would dump everything on my son and step-sons and go to the seaside, enjoying my new yolo-widowed life sipping my orange juice while basking under the sun.
