SPOILER FROM NOVEL
It's about Sir Ivan-
*MTL - Excerpt from Chp146
"I have my first love. The Queen."
It was a quick and simple answer as it had been so far, but Ivan did not show any response this time.
It was because it felt so random that it felt absurd.
Rube, who misunderstood Ivan's expression, who was far away, had his mouth wide open, added a sarcastic joke.
"Oh, of course not now."
"...You're saying it's over."
"Otherwise, I'll be in big trouble."
It was a Rube that shrugged and smiled awkwardly.
On the other hand, Ivan's expression became even more bizarre and distorted.
What kind of a jerk is this?
"When? How? Why?"
"That's a weird question. Do you need a good time or reason to fall in love?"
"It's common sense for what you're saying, but I haven't noticed at all.""
"Well, if I had to pick one, it would have been from the frost forest."
"When she ran away from home?"
"Yes, to be exact, when the queen stopped the lizard and his highness from fighting."
What kind of guy is this?
Ivan managed to moan out.
"You have a unique taste.…. You managed not to make it obvious until now."
"Isn't that obvious? He's someone else's wife."
"Even so... It doesn't work out the way you want it to."
<<all this time I thought Sir Ivan would end up with Ellen ╥﹏╥>>
Deym
Why did the manhwa make it seem like he was in love with Ellen? XD
Wait i’m confused?!!!! Does that mean he’s in love with Ruby?!???!?? Also would you mind dropping the novel link? (￣ε(#￣)Σ

So ivan is in love with ruby? I thought he loves ellen lol cuz he keep blushing whenever he's with her. But if he really love ruby actually i can see that..bcz at the beginning when ruby first come to the north, he keeps looking at her and he always treat her good
Yeah I also thought the same. But then I came across this scene-
I wish I had never started reading it and just let it marinate for 1-1.5 years before coming to read it cause I've been reading it since chapter 2 was published and the number of chapters and the wait is Killing me because I absolutely adore these two. Ik there's gonna be angst but I JUST CAN'T STOP READING IT, I CAN BARELY WAIT A WEEK FOR EACH CHAPTER
OH MY GOD MY CUTESY LITTLE BABIES TT GIGGLING AND KICKING MY FEET SHSJSHJSJS
I'm so scared for when all the angst will hit omg. I just know this one's gonna make me cry cause I'm already SO IN LOVE with these two dorks
Okay wait I just noticed but what is Munjo doing on the thumbnail when the ml is Seungjo
It's a panel from chapter 1 where Iyeon was tutoring Munjo
No way the author made the empress look so dumb with the letter thing after everything she's schemed so far. This felt so rushed and weird. She didn't deserve this dumb downfall after every evil thing she did to survive as the empress
It's giving "Happily Ever Afterwards". Already looking forward to it. Gonna let it marinade for a year before I come pick it up shsjshksjsjs
NO WAY THEY JUST STOPPED UPDATING AFTER DROPPING THIS MAJOR CLIFFHANGER
They had a special chapter which is basically an ad of samsung in the series. I'll drop the link here for anyone who wants to read♡

Also, read the author's note/afterword, it'll help you understand the ending better and clear some confusions if you have any. It was a happy ending for me cause they regressed and met again. She remembered her promise and greeted him first with a smile, hopefully they had their happy ending in this timeline♡
In case yall wanna read the author's afterword, I'll drop the link here.
Afterword: https://makchopi.blogspot.com/2023/11/afterword-my-reason-to-die.html
Waaait. I am confused. So she did die but then they regressed again? Please explain.
MY REASON TO DIE ended with A MERRY BAD ENDING.
●Merry bad ending: Ending where the audience finds it sad or disturbing but the characters themselves are happy.
She was shot and so she died but she wanted Cha gyeol to live on unlike their past lives where he unalived himself after her death. She promised him that if something goes wrong and they regress again, she will be the first one to greet him in the bus with a smile. So he lived on with her memories and died of old age.
It was shown that they regressed again after that. In all of their lives Cha gyeol was the one greeting ji-o in the bus during their first encounter. But Ji-O was indifferent to him everytime because she never remembered him.
One day He opened his eyes and saw his grandmother telling him to wake up for school. The 1st day, the day they everytime regress in. He had this dream countless of times after Ji-O passed away so he started for his day thinking it was yet another dream. But when he reached the bus stop, he saw Ji-O sitting at the bus stop looking at him with a smile. That's when he realised it's not a dream and that they have regressed once again.
The future is still certain whether they'd have a happy ending this time or not. But they were given another chance AND HONESTLY I'LL BE TAKING IT AS A HAPPY ENDING. Hope it helped<3
<<I'm not sure if I could explain things properly but you can read the last chapter from the link on my previous comment if you want. Also if you read the authors afterword after finishing the story, you'll fully understand what happened>>
OMG. Thank you!! I really thought it was just a tragic love story and was so upset, thank you so much! I definitely take this as a happy ending, albeit bittersweet! I’m so happy! In my mind, they were finally able to have a happy ending.
I usually love strong female characters and I love reading them. Not a big fan of weak or damsel in distress characters. But RUBY. Idk how to explain my thoughts and feelings about her. Ik it doesn't make any sense but I feel like this is what I'd feel about my own daughter if I had one (I just turned 20 last month lolol). Ruby is by far my most favourite manhwa fmc and the most beautiful girl in my eyes I'm not even exaggerating. Yall won't believe how many times I scroll back to see the panels Ruby is in. I don't think I've even replayed shirtless Izek that many times lmao. I just stare at her in awe. I can't help but smile. I just re read this manhwa for the 4th time today, I just keep coming back here. This manhwa is so beautiful, cute, sad, painful and heartbreaking all at the same time. I cry, smile, laugh, giggle, get angry, so many emotions all at once.
I feel so sad whenever I look at Ruby's eyes. I just wanna give her a hug. Ruby is by far one of the strongest characters I've ever read. Being strong doesn't necessarily mean being physically strong yk. Everything she's gone through, those are unimaginable. The fact that she's still sane is probably the biggest proof of how strong she is. Cause imagine being abused like she was for that many years (even in her previous life, or should I say lives), she's only suffering. I can't imagine how deep the trauma runs.
Every kind of Abuse destroy people. She has gone thorough so many kind of abuses. But man SA has got to be the most horrendous things to ever happen to someone, that too by her own brother, at her own house, for so many years, where the so called brother even spread rumour about their questionable relationship outside just so her marriages could be broken off. I can't imagine going through all of that everyday and still having to smile sweetly 24/7, not having anyone to share these with, no one to rely on and pretending to be completely fine. I'd never be able to last so long, I'd be long gone.
As much as I love Izek now, it's an undeniable fact that he was a jerk to her when she first came here. Okay he had his reasons cause her family couldn't be trusted yada yada but RUBY didn't deserve any of it. Good thing she escaped from the hell, her own house but then came here to be treated like a nuisance by her own husband. Okay he's changed now and he loves her and everything is good so I'll kinda forgive him too cause at least he's giving Ruby the love, warmth, support, reassurance, comfort now. She needed them so bad. She really needed someone to confide in.
Whenever I see her holding things in and not being able to talk about her past traumas and abuse with anyone and silently putting up everything that fu*king Cesare bitch a**hole ugly looking piece of sh*t son of a wh*re does in fear that things will get worse, I just want to go get myself off by a truck and isekai into the story and stab that filthy guy until my hands fall of. I don't think I ever hated or will hate anything as much as I hate Cesare. This manhwa keeps breaking me but I still keep coming back for Ruby and maybe a little bit for Izek too, love to see them together.
I'm so mad she had to endure all of that. Idc what Ruby does or ever did. I'd support her even if she were to take initiative to end the world. I'd gladly let her destroy everything, kill everyone including me if that's what she wanted, I'd give her everything she could've ever asked for and even more cause RUBY my love deserves everything. Okay but why do I sound like a mom tho lolol. I guess Izek has a stronger competition now cause at least I'd never treat that angel like precious munchkin the way he did in the past hmph.
So in conclusion what I wanted to say is, I LOVE RUBY. My loveliest most adorable bestest sweetheart. My heart swells with love everytime she smiles. She shines so bright I fear. Ruby is the most amazing, Ruby is the most beautiful, Ruby is the strongest, i wanna bawl my eyes out everytime I look at her eyes. And if anyone tries to hurt my Ruby and talk shit about her, I'm personally coming for you, you better sleep at night with an eye open. Cause Ruby might be the sweetest but I'm certainly NOT.
