I agree. I don't get why they're hating on Ruve. Come on, he's trying his best to win her heart. He's not even pressuring her or shit, he's being considerate and I think that's wholesome. Besides, he was deceived and drugged in his past life, it wasn't his intention to act that way towards Tia, and I understand why he got insecure and stuff. Like who wouldn't?

This chapter is the perfect example of why this Ruve is a completely different person compared to his first life. EVERYTHING here he's doing was for Tia's sake. He's even admitted here that if things went as originally planned, he would've been deceived still but instead, he now talks and acts with Tia's needs in mind. One of the reasons why I now support Ruve over Carsein is because Ruve can do so much more for Tia being a person of influence, and he's now distinguished himself from the poisoned asshole who died miserably. I know all of them were victims in their past lives, even Jieun. But here, he's completely changed. For this, I now can enjoy reading the story knowing NOTHING Jieun does can make him shake his love for Tia. Even at the end, EVERYONE, even Jieun, treats first and second Ruve as different people. First Ruve was Jieun's Ruve. Second Ruve is Tia's Ruve. Jieun, in the end, couldn't recognize who this Ruve was at all and gave up her revenge.
For those who can't separate the two, It's gonna be tough for you. Cos the two really are going to have their happy ending, and at this point, I can't see how the prince can offer Tia even less than how Carsein might've offered, that is, if Tia was even interested in Carsein, which she never was.
