lmao if yall cant see how crazy the ML is, and why FL ran away before, I hope yall can see now. HOMEBOY WANTS TO LOCK BESTIE UP. Because he’s anxious she’ll run away from him again. If that aint psycho for yall, yall need to see therapists looool
that being said, i’m excited to see the children reunited with their mother again lmao
PS. Not yall defending him. I like the pairing but lets all acknowledge that ML is shit and FL is shit but in a lesser note. Then we all can move on and ship in peace once we got out of the river lol (get it? Denial isnt just a river in eygpt? lol i’ll shut up now)
For me it’s not a matter of not recognizing he has several issues, but rather understanding why. Also I’m generally fascinated by characters with a darker edge. However I’m hoping we’ll see some growth coming from him. I think he made one step forward in that direction with the kids as he thought back on how his mother used to pat his head, for example.
Wait why is the FL shit tho??
Here are my reasons why:
- most of her decisions, she made based off rumors rather than facts. For a Knight, it’s kind of disappointing.
- she vilified the emperor to their children and I’m still wondering if that’s not going to cause some trauma for them, especially because of how strong they reacted when they found out he was their father.
Yeah I agree. Though I’d like to add that acknowledging him being a shitty character also understanding as to why he was designed that why. Imo, you can’t truly acknowledge the character is horrible without understanding why he’s horrible in the first place.
I’m really not hoping for a good character development, as these rarely come by in mahwa like this but i do like to see them get their shit together and just talk without assumptions. They’re co parenting now, and i think they owe it to their children to be decent parents and not let these poor kids get stuck in the middle of their shit
What the user above me said. In addition to that, instead of trying to talk things out with ML she decided to just yeet away from him and be done with it. She literally wasted so much time avoiding her problems that could be probably resolved within hours of communication. Granted, she’s afraid, but at least have the courage for your children. They deserve to grow up in a good environment and family at least. Tho it’s understandable she did it, still doesn’t excuse her actions.
Yep, all good points.
I mean, I see where you're coming from, but she had a justified cause of running away.
- The dude literally manipulated her with the dreams, so there was no way she'd want to talk after that (not like there was any room for talking anyways lol).
- Yeah, she demonized the emperor and that had a negative impact on the kids. But, she genuinely thought he would kill them and the emperor's actions are so so wrong they deserve to be criticized; he's a literal tyrant, killed thousands in war, killed the 2nd ml's parents for an unknown reason, and said that he's only using the kids for bait for Elan who he's gonna lock up in the palace. Motivated by fear, villifying the emperor was a survival instict to keep the kids safe, and [most] mothers will do anything to keep their kids with them.
Okay, so I would have agreed with this if the ml was open to talk. From the beginning, he made up his mind that the kids and fl aren't leaving him, disregarding the fl's wishes completely. He said that he has a "love" for her which is more of an obsession. Emperor wants to lock her up in the palace and live w/her and her children. Dude literally tried to manipulate her dreams instead of talking. Emperor knew the fl was the baby of his children and his first instinct was to control her dreams.
Children do need to grow up in a good environment though - completely agree.
What i was thinking was : FL should have tried to talk to him, and if he explicitly said “no you’re staying here end of story i wont hear about it anymore you wont bring it up again” then I could understand the lack of communication. But FL was overrun by her emotions with how pyscho ML decided to punish Mickey and how he pretended not to know it was her all along. Especially in Mickey’s part, instead of just right out asking she restored to “my friend” method. I understand why, but it just makes it much worse. Because honestly, there’s so many manhwa that started off like this, and it’s getting real tiring not to see ppl communicating. If FL put her foot down despite being afraid, I think it would better and much more clear cut compared to just running away instead of exhausting all possibilities.
Tldr ; ML is so shit, FL is not that shit, but could have been better.
Yeah I mean she tried, but it def could've been better. At the beginning, she 'hypothetically' asked him what he would do if he found the girl, but then he said he would kill them bc they're lying (or something like that). I don't think she would've attempted communication after that out of survival for the babies and herself. Dude could've been more open for fl to come talk, but yeah fl [justifiably] made decision to keep babies hidden.
Agree with the manhwa thing though; communication's a big problem in most of them, but for this one, I don't see much talk going on bc the dude's too far out of it.
oops lol this didn't post right so lemme try again:

Yeah that’s what i meant with the “my friend” / Mickey situation. Instead of hypothetical, she could have straight up just asked. But nah. She already assumed that he’s aboutta loop her head, justifiably so, until he spilled the beans about him knowing about her all along. He then said that he won’t kill her, and he’d make the baby his heir (didnt know it was twins at that time). I don’t think even if she’d resist she’d get killed especially when he’s phrasing shit like he doesn’t mind her losing a limb or two, so long she’s at his side. Gives u enough impression he won’t kill her so fleeing bc they fear getting killed is kinda wrong conclusion imo.
With the recent chapters going on, i’d like to hold out hope they might come together and talk, if only for the sake of the children, and if ML still doesn’t want to compromise then the ball is already in FL’s side.
You’ve said it right!
The trans group notes tho hahahaha let the simp battle begin lmaooo h
Cant decide if Lucas is masochistic, dumb or both lmao
Rudi has a point, but if you fire the maids, won’t that make them spread more rumors therefore plummel MC’s status further? Like, during this time which i assume would follow every regency / victorian era themes, servants are the ones who make and break aristocratic society. For example, in Bridgerton, a man was exposed throwing away a servant he impregnated even before the child was born and it caused a scandal that the man lost face. It started with one servant until it was passed around to other servants that a key figure in society caught a wind of it and decided to join in the mass spreading. I think that’s what the MC was implying. That you have to be nice or just to your servants too bc u literally entrust your lives to these ppl. If they were all to hate u, putting poison / spreading rumors or even revealing weakness (like nasty medical history) to your enemies or other people and covering it up would be child’s play to them.
I guess in modern times: don’t piss off your waiter or smnthing like that
This is nice and all but the bigger question is : So in all his past lives, even without Chitra being isekai’d she will still have Radelk and friends? Did she also have the twins as well? Also, how? Since we saw from the beginning OG chitra was dying away as her land continued to stew away in corruption and incompetency. Looking to learn more about past Chitras because i have an inkling it’s kinda similar to parallel lives ; Chitra gets isekai’d still, makes more or less similar decisions depending on how much unpredictable variables are involved (this being the prince involved since somehow he has another ability somewhat similar to chitra — reincarnation)
I'm not sure what you mean but she wouldn't have met them if she wasn't isekaied? And idk if she got isekaied to his 1st or 2nd regression or not (she mostly likely did) but if she did then she would've met them like this lifee
“but she wouldn't have met them if she wasn't isekaied?“ Not sure on this but to be certain : are u asking me for clarification?
Also she did meet him in this life. And he did say he’ve meet her in other lives too iirc
No i was answer your question ajdhsk
He only said she showed up in his 3rd regression so we don't know if she existed in the previous lives, this solely based on how important the time traveller's character is lol and i don't think he's the ml so it's highly likely that she lived during his previous lives but he either died young or wasn't interested in rulling and stuff which caused them to meet paths.
if that’s the case, you just returned my question to me lmao. Because I was mostly asking which is which that met the other male leads — OG Chitra or Isekai’d Chitra. If it’s OG chitra, how? And if its not the OG one then i think thats where my parallel theory fits i suppose. That depending on the unpredictable factor (prince) isekai’d Chitra might have made more or less same decisions. Because we’re looking the story through Chitra’s lens. It’s a whole diff matter if we were to look at the story in the prince’s lens.
Again I'm not sure what your question is but here it goes
Besides the regressor the other male leads came from the beauty god's machine so they couldn't have possible met og chitra, not to mention og chitra was very sick and didn't leave her room a lot. We know that the prince goes back in time to a specific day after he dies(regression), and so far only he knows about this cycle which means that chitra makes the same decisions every cycle. It only changes depending on how the prince approaches her whether it's directly or influences her indirectly (like his 3rd life when they never previously met but she was influenced by him because he became the prince, unlike his previous lives where they didn't meet paths). And yes i agree that it'd be diff through the prince's perspective which is why i'm suspecting he might have a bigger role than we think, of course this is just a theory.
Idk how you can’t understand my question when you just explained it yourself. That’s why I’m asking if it’s OG Chitra or nah because there’s a possibility that if Chitra wasn’t isekai’d, she’d have assistance of the God of Beauty still like others did (eg Thorte) since we don’t exactly know whats the blessings of each gods and the author didn’t expound on it further. The ML lead system might not probably be only contained in gacha system since the system seemed to just came up to appeal to isekai’d Chitra as gacha games was one of her hobbies prior. Like gods have so many diff abilities that’s left to the reader’s imagination. Like Hakuna (?) even gave the blue haired ml to Chitra to spy on her and win her to his side. So while it sounds highly improbable I can’t scrape the idea off my head, because if the prince met Chitra in his previous lives and all of them are isekai’d, it would either mean Chitra has been repeatedly isekai’d (same soul or diff souls not sure) or God of Beauty could have intervened sooner instead of later and isekai’ng someone was just one of his options he tried in this life.
Also yeah i agree he has a bigger role, with how he shed light regarding in his previous lives.
Tess has a point but at the same time, gurl, you’ve known this will happen and you still pursued it. You’re not entitled to anything really. Arthur doesn’t want to disclose, nor does he want to ruin the relationship between you guys. Like literally i had friends whom i’m distanced or not friends anymore because they’ve confessed and i’ve turned them down and everything’s fucking awkward. He doesn’t like you, period. And he doesn’t want to turn things awkward so just accept it lmao. It’s more immature to see you getting mad when he turns you down the way you didn’t expect him to lol
aight it's getting spicier finally SKSKSKSKKSK MY POPCORN MACHINE IS READY
