Female lead will have a happy ending.
(Spoilers.)
The ending of the novel is the Grand Duke, Leabrick, Veronica finally being defeated. Elena continues to be L, advocating for an empire with the common people involved. Sian and Elena work together to build a better empire. At the very end, Elena and Sian get engaged, and he made the title of “First Lady” so that she isn’t tied down to the Imperial Palace.
Although this may seem like the usual revenge trope with everything planned out, i would've liked to see it to the end and that's all because the characters are very interesting. They all have substance and depth. One i'm most curious about is Cecilia (the empress of the past life) That scene when she saw FL's painting of her child, seems like she knows something. I'm thinking she may be living her second life as well. Someone pls spoil me. Anyways, seems like we won't be seeing FL's happy ending.
