I have a question I wonder why the author brings Kathleen 4 yrs back in time in the beginning of the story .There was no use of it. Like she/he (author) could have develop the story the same without adding that part .It’s like author keeps forgetting she came back in time .she would know the exact time of emperors death , rebellions, earthquake etc.. but she never use the knowledge
Either the autor new or he doesn't have clear picture how story goes and just have the big picture like MC misserable, ML jerk, and empress bad. Ah and MC die when she work in the duchy for 6 years, and after go back in time 1 years in the past, she married the duke for 2 years, run away for 3 years and the emperor still alive, so that mean she does't have any idea when the emperor die BTW i hope the MC run away for second time and choose other people to became ML, because when she run away for the first time (ch 21) doesn't match with the story before flashback (ch 1) . In ch 21 she run away without say anything, and in ch 1 she literally say she will leave to duke (and if this true that mean the duke still treat her coldly after she goes back with the duke like state in chapter 1 "The golden eyes, which had always looked at her coldly, grew bigger. As if he never expected it")
But the part where the Kathleen attend to a tea party and get humiliated happened again in somewhere chap 19 or 20 right?
if im not mistaken, the last tea party she attend before running away on chapter 21 are empress tea party when her sister present to. but the one who held tea party on chapter 1 are noble woman i think. so yeah that's different tea party

Lol. Can relate, i had enough with this concept. I feel pity but angry at the same time for FL like... how can she be sooooo stuupiiddd?? she's hurting her self by loving that trashy bastard and get back together just because that jerk want to.
This novel better than "you'll regret it" that's more angtsy.. She runaway from her husband.. that when her husband was a trash.. almost attempt to suicide.. but peter save her n told the truth n comeback to the duchy cause been capture by her husband.. also her baby been hold as hostage.. even she now most of the truth bout the husband.. she still choose to leave him again.. n this time she not alone.. with her maid n her only best friend n her son..
FR! He's more than apathetic, he's actively evil. How can he say he treated her like trash because he thought she was a spy but had a whole ass castle prepared to live WITH her in case of an emergency. It doesn't add up. The author shot themselves in the foot with this one. The scene where she find out that all of the things in the castle she assumed it was for a mistress were actually for her and he just didn't told her (because he's evil) should have been the end for any good will she could have for him (because there's a lot more even before this). That was the end for me at least. I'll stop reading when she runs away again lol
No only the facial features were changed , the eye and hair color were originally the colors of Kathleen.
Spoiler I think she left him before and then came back with a child. It seems that her husband thinks that her child isn't his because she told him that and also the face of her child doesn't look like the ml since she used magic (?) to change her child’s appearance. For the second time that she left him (chapter 77-82), the ml regretted it a lot (as he should lol). In chapter 81 the ml found out that the child is his and even tried to let it check at the temple because the child is starting to look like his dead wife (they thought that she's already dead because she's heavily injured but she's not). The fl is also a fairy that's why.
tysm for the summary. She is dumb ig, going back in time can't help with intelligence. Or it's all just another fairy thing maybe? ML is trash FL is retarded. Match made in heaven. Good story and happy ending! 26 year old me isn't old enough to appreciate the realism in this story but thank you for calling me young.
Well, in the 1st TL, the ML is dead, he is framed for rebellion, and Count pedo is known as the one who prevent the rebel and killed him, make The Count a hero then the ML duchy is given to him as the reward, the Count is known as philanthropist while the ML reputation is so worse so people just believed what the royals said without a doubt. And FL is just a kitchen maid, what she know is limited to what everyone else know, how the hell is she supposed to know about all the conspiracy going on, there is no different to the maids even if the owner is changed, they just keep working, beside the ML wasn't such great boss in the first place, he is not in the mansion most of the time. And when the FL gone back in time, she was confused about the date, running outside since she couldn't find her roommate then accidentally overheard the Nanny talking with the knight escort about how she feed the ML strong aphrodisiac and she make sure all the maids and servant to works in the garden so no one can help him, so she ran to his bedroom, if the ML died then the duchy would be taken over by the Count pedo and the same thing could happen again, she could let the ML died and run away but then the young maid would became the Count victim, so she didn't really think much but to sleep with the ML, since the ML survived in the 2nd TL of course the future would be very different. The Emperor death and rebellion by the Empress only happen in 2nd TL.
What you said maybe true but well.. gossip exists. Gossip is the best sort of information in these kind of setting. No one was particularly expecting her to know all royal schemes and everything but just a little tidbit of knowledge to make her life easier than just knowledge to sleep with someone on aphrodisiacs? But then again, FL is supposed to be young and naive so I guess we should be understanding of this situation.
I wonder why people like to make up stories that wasn't there in the novels when there is a long list of fact they can use to shit on the FL like how she fall in love with a man who never show even a speck of kindness, consideration or respect, and how she expect him to love her back when the ML make it very clear from the start, it's a contract, he paid for her to works as a Duchess, she even beg him to sleep with her and how easily she forgive him when she find out he prepared a cooking book on the first year she works as the kitchen maid and the dress and jewelry who she think was for the mistress is actually hers, prepared by the ML a years before she ran away. Idk what you expect from someone who works as a maid since she was 14 YO, 6 years under the Duke, 4 years under the Count, if you blamed her bcause she wasn't up to date with the latest gossip, what about the Crown Prince (ess) then, she didn't even know that her mother has been poisoned her half brother for years, she also didn't know that the earthquake is not a natural disaster but related with the prophecy. Isn't the reason it was easy for The Empress to painted the ML as the villain because people believed in the gossip? The ML was rumored as warmonger, monster and such, and he never tried to correct it, he never attend the gathering/party (even in the 2nd TL, the FL attend it alone), he never cares about his people, never even meet his vassal, he let the nanny run wild in the mansion, his aide to take care of the estate, he only wish for the Empire destruction. I'm really curious, what else is she gonna do then, she just come back from death and the first thing she hears is the nanny (who wield the power in the mansion like the owner) and the the knight (who works as the ML bodyguard) waiting for the ML to die from the aphrodisiac, in the break of dawn where she doesn't even know who is friend or foe. In hindsight, if the FL didn't starved for ML affection, and think of the contract marriage as a job, her life is actually pretty much good, she held the power and money, the ML didn't actually restricted her doing anything, she could just ignored all the nobles who badmouth her, but then again we have no stories to read.
lmao did I trigger a hardcore fan? I sincerely apologise for expecting anything. You're absolutely right. Have a very nice day. PS. Let's end this discussion shall we? don't wanna clog the thread.
Nah, I'm not even triggered, did you even read my post above, I'm not fans of the FL, I too shit on her just as much I shit on the ML, well I don't need to like every damn character and agree to their choice to like the story itself. I dunno if you even read the novel so yeah let just stop, I'm not trying to convince anyone here, it just amuse me every time someone tried to find fault on something the author already made it perfectly clear.
Yeah I know right .. I hated the male in the start of the story , not because he didn't love the mc but because he didn't care about how the empress treated her . And then I disliked the mc because the ml clearly said not to expect anything from him in the very beginning but she still was there hoping all by herself ..And then she got hurt and ran away and blah blah blah .. But from some recent chapter I'm having a soft spot for Alexis cause man ..he's lost all his hope cause he thinks that she's dead and now he's just living everyday waiting for death and raising luci . Cause no matter how hard it got for Kathleen she always had someone by her side . Be it Peter or her maid and then Joseph and now her maternal family . But for Alexis there was no one there even for once . And people who are saying that the male deserves to be left alone , I don't agree at all . Like from his point of view it's like walking up from a complete emotional comma and getting blamed . Like he was not even aware of what his actions were causing because he never even knew emotions so I really think he kind of deserves a happy ending after all the suffering and pain and to this point he's regretted enough , to the point where he thinks he doesn't even deserves to die because Kathleen would not be happy to have to stay in the grave besides him . And people who are saying that the male deserves to be left alone , I don't agree at all . Like from his point of view it's like walking up from a complete emotional comma and getting blamed . Like he was not even aware of what his actions were causing because he never even knew emotions so I really think he kind of deserves a happy ending after all the suffering and pain and to this point he's regretted enough , to the point where he thinks he doesn't
