What if Ruby is his actual daughter who he thought died, the mage somehow with magic and stole her when she was still unborn to use as a child soldier since she has a powerful magic and he wants to have a powerful soldier to control and its the fact that she is also the duke’s child, the thought of having full control of a powerful mage that’s also the child of the person you hate gives the magic king pleasure, and they somehow changed her appearance to match the magic king with magic idk how (im guessing something like body transfer) but that will somehow correlate on why she has a scar, and that’s why when she was missing the magic king is looking for her cause he doesn’t want her identity to be discovered and he doesn’t wanna lose a valuable piece. The fact that she is actually 10 yrs old and the mage incident happened 10 yrs ago. I mean the king did say “the jewel he seized”.
Ngl It would really be funny if this is true, cause this would be like the 2nd “I adopted a child, who turns out to be my actual child” manhwa.
I’d like to build onto your theory-
Spoilers (up until chapter 22)

in one of the chapters, when the evil white haired mage talks about our FL, the man said «she’s missing again, but this time she has a physical body» or something like that.
So I theories that he originally stole her—Like u said—but he only stole her soul (which was conducted through the mage which the duchess helped who attacked her). However something happened which then caused her to be sent to a different world (which explains her previous life memories).
Thos would explain how the og daughter was born dead (as was stated in the chapter which the grandpa had his knee treated), as without the soul, the body was «empty» and therefore deemed dead?
I hope this makes sense… it’s 3 am so my brain is off.
If u hate him now your gonna hate him more, bro pulled a Jaekhyung On chap 14 while fcking the mc in the office he called his older brother to come to the office while fcking the mc, and he literally waited for the older brother to come to let him see the mc getting fcked by him, he legit showed the older brother mc’s whole body with his dck inside and all to the older brother, he was showing off on how his the one fcking the mc and not him, he pushed the mc to the older brother and that caused the mc to wake up seeing the older brother in front of him, and the ml continued fcking him very roughly while his older brother just watches, idk if the older brother was any better cause bro was just standing there near them to the point he was very close to them like he could’ve pulled the mc away but didn’t, after the ml came inside he was very proud about the fact that his cum was inside the mc he then pushed the unconscious mc to his older brother in which he covered the mc in his suit jacket and brought him home. And he did all that cause he saw mc texting the older brother.

You can read here, you just have to mtl it tho and its in only upto chap 60.
Pls don’t forget that she was a very very bad person in her first life, so it’s pretty understandable if He didn’t love her then or atleast showed it. She was straight up an evil person, she was mistreating and abusing people left and right, using her authority to get away from it, so him not being affectionate isn’t that surprising honestly. The fact that everyone just ignored it and never tried correcting her behavior, people around her is also at fault for her becoming like that. She literally abused her brother his whole entire life and not once her father stopped or talked to her about what she was doing.
I have theory that he did love her in her first life, it was just she was such a bad person that he didn’t wanna accept and acknowledge his feelings cause of how she was back then, one of the tell tale signs that he did love her is that he never really apprehended her on her actions, he just let her do what she wants never reprimanding her or telling her off, and I also think that he could and can make her authority as an empress useless or be lessened if he wanted to but he just couldn’t, I think he felt some sort of guilt or its just that she has such high standing even he couldn’t do anything. Anyways this is just my theory, you can agree or disagree.
She is yes,but the prince is at fault too,knowing they already married but he still took that blue haired woman and get her pregnant too,he also spends more time to that blue haired girl than his own wife,I think the fl's feelings that time is valid.and I do have a hunch regarding that blue haired girl,maybe she intentionally seduce the prince for her to become empress,she plan to ruin their relationship from the start I think,but I'm still hoping she really a kind girl..
And to be honest I still not like the prince for her,maybe because of what happen to them in their past life,their relationship can fix if the prince try to properly communicate with her and explain everything,but he stayed quiet until the FL did something horrible to the blue haired girl....I just hope she ended up with other ml,not the prince...
I agree with you. I'm still turned off/dislike like the fact that he had a concubine but in the end, it's completely normal for royal family to take concubines in their setting. He didn't even treat her badly until FL tried to kill the concubine. Ultimately they were in a contract relationship and they both knew it. As a comment above said it, FL herself said that she mistook his respect for her for love, and then everything spiralled downwards. Honestly I feel like IF FL had not be poisoned to act so evil, then even if FL didn't act like her current "I don't like you crown prince" self, the two would probably have a good relationship.
It's not that he can't tolerate being rejected or anything (and hence being interested in FL) but more like as long as FL was a decent person/noble he would have liked her. By decent I mean not torturing her servants and maids etc.
I found out while looking for spoilers about the novel.
So Aster is the chosen male lead by the System but the end game male lead for our MC is Enoch the magic tower guy.
And the duke didn’t cheat on his wife. He was very loyal to her. She is genuinely just an adopted daughter with no blood related ties to the Clemend Dukedom whatsoever.
She got adopted by the Duke because she was destined to save the empire based on a prophecy in which she has to absorb a jewel owned by the temple. The Duke was there when it happened leading to his adoption to her.
This is what I gathered based on the very short existing spoilers that I found.
I may have gotten some wrong about her adoption but this is what I could gather.










HOW DARE HE DO THAT TO OUR BABY JAEYOUNG!!!
