ML recognizes her at the debutante ball, and gets her first dance before the crown prince can. karina ends up jealous of elysia bc she realizes ML is the one she’s meant to be with but he is obv in love with elysia.
here’s one comment from novelupdates summarizing some of the main bits:
This story is so frustrating. I'm currently reading it but I don't know if I have the patience to read further. The author uses memory loss as a plot tool way too much. It's lazy writing and the only purpose is to create drama and prolong the story. I will share the spoilers that I know so far.
All the "priests" in the temple are transmigrators, except for Elysia (FL) and Iris (someone her mother saved and was helping them out). These priests have a secret passcode, that they call "God's voice", but that is nonsense they made up. The passcode was just them stating that this is the world of the novel. Mariela (FL's mom) shared her life experiences to FL and Iris so they can enter the temple. FL was Elysia all along, she was never a transmigrator. It's just that she had to study her mom's life and the novel since she was young, so she can enter the temple. Otherwise, the priests, who are all transmigrators, will find out she isn't really one of them, if she couldn't chat with them about life on Earth.
That being said, since the priests in the temple are transmigrators, they want to return to their own world. They believe that in order to do this, the plot has to proceed like in the novel. They have been pulling strings behind the scenes in order for this to happen. There is this one mysterious hooded villain character who has been wreaking havoc to make the novel plot come true. This person has been manipulating the royal family, they colluded with the Empress and the Crown Prince to blind ML. This person is also controlling the crown prince to make him more obsessed with Elysia and get her pregnant and then kill her. Because that's how it was in the novel. CP kidnapped FL and put her in a golden cage in his room to r*pe her. ML comes in time and saved her. Other things happened. Empress took blood from ML's mother before ML rescued her. (ML's mother was a real Oder. The emperor wasn't an Oder, he was just pretending to be one with red colored lenses. That's why none of his childen including the CP was an Oder. ML's mother should've been Emperor, but she can't because she was a woman. She was being imprisoned by the Empress because an "Oder" is a strong being and they were only able to harm an Oder with another Oder's blood. Empress used her blood to curse ML to become blind.) Anyway, the blood the empress took from ML's mother is now being used to curse ML again! :facepalm: This time the curse is for ML to fall for Karina. Karina told CP she's pregnant with his child. CP tried to have her killed, ML saved Karina and brought her to his mansion. He brought her to the grand duchess' room that he originally prepared for FL. FL saw and was hurt. (FL never truly lost her memories about the ML, she was just pretending so she can leave and everyone will be safe.) But the next morning, they found out ML forgot all about the FL because he was cursed.
Memory Loss Counter:
1. FL lost her memories as Elysia and thought she was a transmigrator.
2. FL pretended to lose all her memories of ML.
3. ML lost his memories of FL.
ML lost his memories of FL, and instead believes the woman he loves is Karina. He kept calling her "Rina". At first, Karina was hesitant, she's confused why he is treating her like he loved her despite never showing interest in her before. Eventually, she realized that ML thinks she is "Rona". Karina decided to take advantage of it and asked him to stay the night with her. (Girl... did you not learn yet at his point? :blobconfused:) ML asked her where she wants to stay. She said his bedroom. ML carried her to his bed and kissed her forehead, he said he'll take a shower first. While ML was gone, Karina prepared to seduce him, she wore FL's maid clothes, thinking ML will be weak to it. (At this point, I'm sweating bullets.) BUT THEN, ML gave her a war book and told her to read, then laid down beside her listening until he fell asleep LMFAO. Just like how when "Rona" used to read for him.
FL saw ML carry Karina to his bedroom and she thought they did it. She cried in the garden later, ML saw her and at first he was mad because it was a space her made exclusively for "Rona" so he told her to leave. But as she was leaving, ML stopped her, tried to call her by her name "Elysia" and asked her not to go. Then he collapsed and had seizures. The same seizures he had everytime he took a cure for his blindness before. So looks like he's fighting off his current curse.
So now:
1. ML got cursed to be blind, then had seizures, then he was cured.
2. ML pretended to be blind again to lure FL back.
3. ML got cursed again to think Karina is Rona and fall for her, now he is getting seizures again
