Same, like, Cyril has way better chemistry with her... And I have always felt in this reincarnation stories that if another person ends up inside the body of the previous lover of the ML or the previous love interest than the new interest should change, because what makes someone think that the new person will fit the type of the previous one? That love seems kinda shallow to me, because even if he was SO in love with the previous empress he couldn’t even distinguish that there was a new person inside of her, it seems that he didn’t love her as much as he professed.
So it would be interesting and believavle that if the person inside the body changes, than the love interest should change too. Like in “Beware of the Villainess!”, the previous owner was head-over-heels with the prince, but the new owner detest him, and she’s going to get a new love interest, that’s how it should be, just because the dude or the female lead it’s pretty/handsome you are bot going to instantly fall inlove with them, at least it shouldn’t be like that, everyone has their own preferences and they live different situations that nurture that love.
DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!!!! AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO'S SHIPPING HER WITH CYRIL? UWU! I MEAN THE BLACK HAIRED GUY IS FOR THE PREVIOUS EMPRESS, SO... ASDFGHJKL THIS IS DEFINITELY GONNA HURT ME GAAAAAAH SECOND MALE LEAD SYNDROME!!!!
