I have so many problems with this story already.

The emperor didn't want to get married, he was forced to. From the way he treats his own brother he's clearly a workaholic who lacks personal relationships, I'd like to know how he was raised and if he's had interactions with women before or not because he has no idea how to relate to his wife and is moved by something as simple as holding her hand. I don't see him as an asshole but an awkward person that clearly has no idea what married life is supposed to be like but got married under harsh conditions so people would stop bothering him about it. I have nothing against him, I'd just like to see proper character development there.

The mc's attitude however bothers me. She is so stuck on the novel plot, every iseka/reincarnation/rebirth story is like this. She's smart, so shouldn't she know that her simply knowing the storyline and little things changing from the original plot meant everything will be different? I've yet to see an isekai story where the mc made changes and wasn't surprised when things didn't go according to the original novel. There's isn't exactly a script to follow since novels only mention main events, so having that knowledge is enough to change things, unless its a rebirth novel and they do everything the exact same.

And lastly, I don't know what to think about Mia but that governor is so sus. But he's one point I really can't stop thinking about. Leana knew he didn't appear in the original novel and didn't for a second think the story might have changed from there already. If in her past life she'd been reading the same isekai stories, shouldn't she have figured something was strange? Plus her family should already have money and she claims to be bored in the palace, would it not have made more sense to ignore the engagement to the emperor and do so something else with her life? Like look for a rich husband she can grow close to?

I just don't understand this story so I skipped most of it and went to the final chapter. I don't think I missed much of the story. I might not continue reading this because it's too confusing to me. It would depend on how bored I am.

    I feel the same way about all of these isekai mangas. Obviously if you knew something was going to happen and you change it the outcome would be different. This is common sense. The fact that authors use the same scenario in every manga is simply lack of creativity.

    Leana also had no need to marry the emperor at all. Even her father disagreed with the marriage. She is simply greedy and stupid. Like you said, she could have easily found another marriage with a rich man with a high status. Yet she chose to live the same life just a little differently. I understand a bit when the protagonist is looking for revenge, but she just wants to live a comfortable life.

    Well there are a lot of problems with the story, but I still read it. Mostly out of boredom.

    I feel like the author had her agree to the marriage because there was no other way the main leads would have gotten together without this, but at least make the mc's reasoning make sense. I've read similar stories where the mc puts herself back in the same situation, but at least they had a better plan.

    I skipped over 20 chapters and still got the gist of the story. I'd like to read the next chapter because it looks like she's at least willing to give the emperor a chance, because the relationship didn't look like it was going anywhere honestly.

    I totally agree with the point about her choosing the Emperor to marry. Makes zero sense, given her family situation. Although, I feel the need to defend the FL. I agree with you that she should understand that when you make changes to the story, obviously the outcome is different. The butterfly effect and whatnot. I feel like she is trying her best to stick to the story since it is something she is familiar with. It is not an understatement to say that her life is danger. With her knowing and sticking to the plot, she can survive. She was even ready to accept that the storyline has changed and she could be with the Emperor and then she almost got killed. So she, like any other person, panicked. So i do not blame her for sticking closely to the story or trying to make the story come true. She is doing it out of self preservation. She would rather know what is going to happen versus not knowing at all. I agree it has gotten to a point where there is no going back so she will be forced to accept the different story line and i think by this point she has. SO dont be so mean to my girl. She just wants to live her life without getting an arrow in the back.

    Yo that lil bro is sus af. Most definitely has his past life memories as well, and that is what is most likely changing the story so much.

    yesss I’m starting to question how smart leana is Ik she’s smart but maybe dense was the word I was looking for like she’s read the story before so I jus don’t understand why she still hasn’t figured out that by her knowing what will happen changes it and she acts so damn suprised when something that wasn’t in the story is there it’s kinda annoying like I’m not as smart as her but even I can figure out that me knowing what happens changes stuff ts is making me frustrated like she’s so so so smart but dense and is obsessed with living a normal life

    And if she wanted a quiet peaceful life she should have just canceled the marriage at first but she didn’t and also if she really wanted a peaceful life she should have chosen not to get involved with Mia because is Mia is the main character of the novel then drama follows her around her choices make no damn sense if she really wanted a peaceful life then she should have stayed far away from the emperor and Mia from the very begging before she got into that marriage
