No,
So it’s like Violet (1st year) already pursuing prince
Violet (2nd year) she turns back at this time maryjun’s debut and also entering her 1st year
So, when Violet was in her 1st year, she told Yulan that she will pursue the prince. So Yulan gave up at that time..but now that he has a fighting chance, he will not give up again.

Yes, that was a vague sentence. This was my initial thought too, but when i read the spoilers, it doesn’t seem like Yulan knows of the past..yet (since story is still ongoing)
But for now, i will stick to Yulan did not time travel because it’s more fun to know who had more genuine feelings from the very beginning :)
was rereading last few chapters and just realized yuan said "it was the worst possible ending" "this time i won't let her get snatched away" DOES HE HAVE MEMORIES OF PAST GO AROUND, TOO??? DID HE GO BACK IN TIME WITH VIO?!!! how on earth did this slip past me before
