I had theorized this before, but this chapter really is driving it home as being very likely.
But I'm pretty sure Jinwoo is looping through time over and over again with the starting point being when Guwon finds him.
That's why Jinwoo finds these strangers bodies to be familiar. It's why he has almost prophetic dreams of people he knows being dead and blaming him (like the doctor being dead in his dream before he even sees a trial). It's why he tries to kill Guwon in his sleep before knowing his true nature. It's possibly why Guwon sees him as being a real person and not a pet because he's the only other person who is like him. Who is different from normal humans.
Sisyphus was punished for his hubris to roll a boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down before reaching the top, forcing him to repeat it over and over again, never reaching the top. Just like Jinwoo (and possibly Guwon) are repeating the same timeline making the same mistakes
So I lost track of this Manhua ages ago and have not found it since. Does anyone know it?
-Female lead has blonde/light coloured hair and is a sweet and gentle person
-in her first timeline she marries a man politically but they both deeply fall in love with each other
-they meet a tragic end and both die
-FL regressed in time and wakes up back before she ever met her husband and decides to NOT marry him in order to protect him since she believes he died as a result of marrying her.
-The ML seems to not have memories of the original timeline at least in what I read at the time
-The FL is making sure to avoid any chance of them meeting/getting married but obviously still really loves him
Thanks!
"Do you want to kill me too?" With that huge smile on his face. Seems like Guwon is absolutely okay with it if it's Jinwoo trying to kill him. Like he'd love any attention or action directed towards him if it's Jinwoo doing it.
