So from the spoilers, not sure if it's TRUE or not, but apparently since she has the ability to control mana she goes off on an adventure with the wizard guy to become stronger so she spends years away from her husband to train. Then she returns to more misunderstandings and while I love them together the misunderstandings are really getting to me. I know bc her abuse and all she can't really speak her mind (hence why she left to train to become "useful") when all her husband wanted was her. Like girl let me take your place I'll never leave him and if I wanted to train why not train at that huge ass castle anyways? But yeah he eventually finds out about her abuse and realizes why she did what she did.
I think this story's misunderstandings are actually so huge that they literally cause a headache and I just read the summary. Not sure if I'm gonna have the patience to read this after she leaves. I might just skip all that to when they're together again.
Also wizard guy needs to stay in his lane and wifey needs to go to the butler for things like this instead. The wizard is the main cause for the problems that are happening and will happened.
Like who has ever heard of the wife meeting a random group outside the gates? Have the commander guy in charge of their forces left behind to go handle stuff. Wizard just made things worst imo. And poor wifey doesn't know what to do since she was literally tortured her entire life and not taught anything.
Oh the husband actually met his wife when he worked for her family. Not sure what he did, but he saw her with an animal under an oak tree and fell in love and decided that since he can't be with her as he was he decided to become a knight one so rich and famous that he'll be acceptable for her.
Also dad kept her locked away and kept information for getting to her while her husband was away. She shouldve left the morning after the wedding to her new home but for whatever reason the dad kept her. He also kidnaps her again when she away training and start torturing her and telling her her husband abandoned her to marry the princess.
Their (greatest) misunderstanding was caused by maxi's dad. He came and took maxi and caused her to miscarry (maxi didn't know she was pregnant). Riftan was hurt but he couldn't tell maxi and a war was about to happen or something that needs riftan to be away, thus whynhe entrusted her to ruth to help protect her and that's where ruth discovered that she could control mananand stuff and taught her. Maxi and ruth aided in riftans war or something.
That's what i knew, anyway...
Thank you I knew I was missing some information. I read the spoilers a while ago so my memory of it isnt the best and I remember there was something big that happened. I also didn't like how she just left but that was probably due to the war? Or maybe she didn't leave all i remember was the wizard said she should start training and stuff
I'm not sure I actually read a good portion of it up to where they have seggy under an oak tree when he returns. I think we already pass it on the manwha. But it's from spoilers online they might not be 100% true and I might be missing or confusing some stuff but it's the general stuff that I remember
Still dont understand why the dad didnt want her to move out. I mean she was supposed to leave the day after her wedding but she ended up staying. They even had constant escorts to bring her but they were rejected. I don't remember why the dad did that? Was it for him to keep his entertainment? I mean he's so cruel and deranged that he wouldnt want to be without his toy to torture? I just dont understand I would think he would be happy to be rid of her and she would've been better off
Idk his/the author's reasoning but i reckon that it's because when riftan was away to fight the dragon, he didn't want her to bring shame on their family name and what not. She stutters and is meek and so if she's in riftan's house, she would be invited to events instead of riftab and she'll be shamed.. i think, that's why her father prevented that.
When riftan became the war hero who killed the dragon, i think her father must've noticed riftan's feelings for her or has realized her worth as riftan's wife.. so he must've kept her coz of that.
Add to the fact it was because of her father why riftan and his men were sent to kill the dragon (a suicide mission) so riftan's men hated maxi's dad. I think her dad used her as shield????
I'm not saying that I approve of cheating in general and while I understand why someone cheats it doesn't mean I approve. So while I understand how pitiful and desperate mc was for affection (look at how the dad love his niece compared to his daughter to the point of having his niece become the heiress for a family line she's not from) and how she was manipulated into situations it doesnt justified her cheating.
While I'm glad she wanted to call of her engagement, bc of manipulation and politics she was encourage to stay in her engagement. Now the fiance never really communicated with mc to begin with and has a contributing part to her cheating, not that he is the sole reason for her cheating, she's also to blame obviously.
mc was literally groomed into her situation and she's a child with her frontal lobe not fully developed (yes I know this is fiction). The other guy was a predator and I don't understand why the fiance didn't try to stop it. [Maybe he just wanted mc to be happy?] Especially since she's mentally and emotionally stunted she was a prime victim to use. MC was taken advantage of, fiance was just a background character that truly cares for mc but never displayed it when needed and didn't support her physically and the disgusting excuse of a prince manipulated the naive mc to obtain the crown and cousin (I wanna know how the cousin is really involve...like how was she able to be the queen? Did she collaborate with him?).
Now bc the pov is from the mc we sympathize with her so we're not that harsh against her but image if this was trasha? We would also sympathize with her and say the empress is cruel and coldhearted. We based our trust and affection towards the one we view things from and try to justify their behavior cause thats our narrator.
Now with THAT manwha, from my understanding the prince also came back in time and tried his best to right his wrongs and became endgame but the pov is from the mc who suffered from him and the manipulations around him. So we never see the full extent of his struggles and how he's trying to right his wrong from his first life. I admire someone that if they go back in time they try their best to fix themselves and the things that happened around them to prevent traumatic events from happening. Apparently he also tried to not marry the MC and have her live a happy life without him but she fell back in love with him (even knowing her past life trauma). The reason why I dropped it was because she vowed to never fall in love with the prince again and make her family safe and whatnot. She found an amazing new love interest and was able to move away from her trauma and the person who cause majority of it (yeah he was drugged but still, it's the principle of the matter for me) but instead it's like she forgot all her trauma and lost all her character development when she married him.
The story could've been made better honestly but what I'm trying to say is that cheating isn't justified whether it's the girl or guy whose doing it. They should be held accountable regardless. Cheating is cheating and it's so much more simple to just end the relationship instead of betraying their trust. I know this is an arranged marriage and she did try to cancel her engagement but she didn't and kept cheating. And I understand that from the mc she never saw her fiance as her fiance just as a stranger so she didn't have much faith in her marriage to him when the other prince showered her with attention and affection. But I digress.
It's kinda funny cause if this was written from the homewrecker pov everybody would be on her side and say how evil the empress is and how lonely and unloved the emperor is and that he deserves the homewrecker and happiness. I'm glad this one shows both worlds and everyone understands that even though it's a political marriage both suffer. They both want love (emperor and empress) but the guy failed.





My theory is that our boy Noah is the heir to the Empire since they stated there is no known heir and the princess is currently engaged to someone old or ruthless that the prince who Lucy is trying to get away from is currently looking for a solution.
So I'm assuming that Noah is the ML and heir to the Empire based on all the details they're throwing at us. After all it's good writing to only use what's necessary to move up the storyline unless the purpose is to confuse us.
What I don't really get is how the younger brother is allowing the ogfl cousin to hurt him when the brother has a higher status but that's bullying I guess. Still weird imo for no one to say anything to the dad or older brother about it since it'll look bad on the Duke family. I do wonder how both girls were able to enter into this universe
also the fact that there are 3 people who've isekai'd into this world but only one of them hasn't been put in the body of someone else? Especially the one that fits all the usual isekai standards of being a rich, uncaring, cruel villainess?
3 people? Fake Lucia, the writer and who was the third?
Wait 3 people have been thrown into this written world? Haven't read this in a while, since I want the story to progress some more, but Im all down for the spoilers
the aunt and niece duo from the bully's family. The aunt used to bring the niece to the capital a lot whenever she wanted to but now she suddenly started burning her letters and had a mini monologue.
