I'm pissed, I don't want Zachary or his damn reincarnation to be the ml, but the novel cover says it already
oml ty im now debating whether i should continue to follow up and let this marinate or just drop this manhwa
So he was crazy but still had children?? I dont get it, how long after she died did he die?
No, I think it was just his relatives that continued the royal family line (no children).
I dont think that would have worked, after all when he came to have the crown thats when royalty was established, but his family wouldn't have been royals. So if he died the crown would go to one of the dukes that took part on the fight as they have 100% more right to the crown than anyone else
The black haired crown prince explains it that way in chap. 28, though: https://kingofshojo.com/the-villainess-i-possessed-is-raising-hell-chapter-28/
I see, the only thing I can say is that, that should have never happened and one of the dukes should have taken the crown. It made no sense for a collateral branch to take the throne when the dukes were okay and well. I dont understand why they were given the throne? But I wont read more ahead
Apparently they just gave the crown who has silver hair like Zachary
This has already been updated till chapter 30 in other english scan sites. But anyway, I guess I'll just put a spoiler warning all the same, just to be safe. According to what we learn up till chapter 30, it seems that...

SPOILER WARNING ................
........................................
In the past, after Zachary (Bella's only conractor) betrayed and killed Bella, he then killed himself some time afterwards, a while after becoming the first emperor. But that is a secret only the royal family knows. There's a possibility that the silver-haired holy knight that now escorts Bella as the "saint's" guardian (the younger brother of current black haired crown prince) is Zachary's reincarnation (they've said in the story that Zachary has been reincarnated).
Also, in the past, when Zachary killed Bella, the long black haired dude, Ethan, also died, trying to save her, because the original saint blondie girl had sent him to try to help and save Bella from Zachary. But Zachary killed him. His death left the original saint blondie alone and pregnant with his kid, so the original saint lived the rest of her life hating Zachary until his death, and her child was the human Isabela's ancestor.
The original saint had also left behind a diary, that nobody has been able to read until now, because it's written in old divine language, but our current Bella finds it and it turns out she can read it. This diary has entries describing how in the past Zachary had been acting weird prior to killing Bella, and how he'd been talking to thin air and mentioning something about some "plan". The last entry in this diary that had belonged to the original saint was a message to Bella herself, as if she had known the future Bella would find it, where she told future Bella that none of what had happened in the past had been Bella's fault (in chap 31 we'll see if there was any more, along with that, in that one message).
So.... based an all this, anyone else getting the feeling that reborn Zachary's gonna be the ML?
