Ugh

Huh he is ? He read Tia's letter to Greeny (yes i forgot his name) and understood why she was trying to distance herself from him. That's why he's taking extra care not to be a bother to her though the ice is slowly melting between them. There is also some backstory for why the prince acted that way towards her in first timeline.

He can't 'change' this is a totally different person. Think of it as though she had a glimpse into the future and saw how things will go if they continued as the were before she changed her approach to the situation. I'm on the emperors side I rather him end up with her again that with that witch. And let's not be blind to that fact that she is definitely holding some feelings for him still...

Seriously? Y’all want her to get with her to get back with the abuser? He literally did nothing but tormented, emotionally/physically abused her, snubbed her every chance he got, raped her and made her lose her baby. Let’s not forget that he killed her father and then humiliated her for it until the last moment of her death. Bruh, he was like smiling when he beheaded and that’s like the last image she saw of him. In her last life she was so devoted to him and was treated like that. The irony of her wanting nothing to do with him now because she has no choice and that’s some how a butterfly effect for him to be a changed person too?

True

Best of all

The poison for an unknown reason only affects his mind when it comes to treating Tia but he was completely fine in dealing with other stuff. If the poison is actually affecting his mind, the kingdom would have collapsed or be ruined before Tia but nope, it only works when he saw Tia. It's hilarious when they were taught to avoid drinking poison using specific tea sets and utensils from very young. Even more hilarious is that after Tia's death, he is still getting poisoned regularly but for some reason, he is now able to think rationally and able to control his rage under the poison influence. It makes you wonder if is he even consuming the same poison or the poison has the special effect of "hate Tia only".

well, that is true but this is a completely different person. The past isn't what it used to be so he wouldn't be abusive tormenting bitch so technically speaking, you can't hate someone who hasn't done all those shii yet and he probably wouldn't do all those nasty shits because of tia

The Story based on spoilers of this is literally "live your life to be this man's wife, get betrayed, raped, used and abused, lose your father and your mind because of him and when you have a chance to escape all of that, try giving him another shot because he's a changed man and surely he won't do the same things again" -- I cannot stress this enough but this is the classic and most basic abuse victim mentality that leads to IRL deaths! This may be a fantasy story but this is not something that should be put into anyone's mind! It's f*ckING TOXIC and honestly disgusting.

It's honestly funny how I have read other works where the characters were written to be the most vile and disgusting ones possible, even the main ones, and yet this is one of the few who has garnered such hate from me and most definitely the one who garnered it in the shortest amount of time. Author needs to stop fantasizing about abuse and how "everyone can change" and understand that while that is true and people can change, that doesn't mean they shouldn't suffer some consequences for it. Monster Male Lead might be an alternate universe version of the one who did those horrendous actions, but the fact that Idiot Lead barely even seems to care about it after living through, dying and then having God intervene on her behalf to give her a second chance is the gravest problem of all.

In perspective: this means that everything the Idiot Lead went through was ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY in order for her to go back and put into effect the chain of events that would "redeem" the asshole.

That's not redemption for the Male Lead; it's just damnation for the work itself.

Do not bother!
2/10 for pretty art -- I at least respect the artist who had to endure this shit and put this garbage into form and color.

It’s not even about hating him at this point. But thinking about it, he could potentially turn into that person again. Just because he’s a little “nice” to her in this life doesn’t make him redeemable. I think tia deserves to live freely without the memory of this terrible past holding her down. Idk but all their moments together just makes me feel icky instead of wanting to root for the relationship. Maybe just like the late emperor said even if she becomes the head of her house then she should remain friends with the prince and support him. I’m still semi-OK with that. Any romance between them should just stay buried in their past life.

Also, I will have to disagree with you here on him being a completely different person. If you looked closely, the reason he hated Aristia in the previous timeline was due to the fact that he never loved her, and thought of her as a coldhearted and selfish person. It wasn't anything that couldn't be solved if he knew Aristia from earlier on, but the fact that Aristia used to always hide her emotions made Ruve think that she was coldhearted. And her being cold hearted was also due to her losing her mother at an early age and being in an estranged relationship with her father. Anyway, Ruve was always the type that would stand on his lover's side, at the time it was Jieun, so whenever Jieun cried he would wrongly blame Aristia, and Aristia, being who she is, never properly responds, and therefore the misunderstanding gets steadily worse.

So in reality, Ruve didn't change, he was just as he was in the first timeline, except this time it’s Aristia who changed to being more open and loving to those around her and that’s why the hate from is now yearning/love.
