The story includes a reverse harem aspect that the author did not disclose, which may disappoint some readers who dislike this trope. By the end, the main character becomes a god and ends up with three husbands.
As the story progresses, Asta encounters Cyril, who claims his actions were misunderstood. While shopping for winter supplies in Enif, they run into Maris, Asta's brother, who recognizes Hailey despite her changed appearance. Tensions rise when Cyril attempts to assassinate Richard, leading to a confrontation where Hailey uses her powers to protect herself and Richard.
Amidst this chaos, Asta seeks to help Cyril by finding Rango, an excommunicated priest who knows about Hailey's curse. Asta wants Cyril to have another chance to apologize, believing it could lead to Hailey considering purifying others. Meanwhile, Hailey reflects on her previous desire for solitude, now contemplating friendships.
Later, Hailey and Asta discover Quentin, the missing crown prince, among the "zombies." For political reasons, they decide to keep his existence secret until they can dethrone Michelin, who has proposed to Asta. Despite Asta’s brother's protective instincts, Hailey agrees to help, even as she navigates her own complex relationships.
There's also a part wherein Asta discovers Hailey in her castle, where she learns of the tensions caused by her divine bird, which accidentally destroys crops. Asta, feeling guilty, is reassured by Hailey, who claims her castle is at risk due to Asta's prior associations. When Asta questions Hailey about Cyril's past actions, Hailey reveals she doesn’t remember due to not being the original Hailey.
Cyril, who attempts to kill Hailey but ends up under her control after she uses demonic energy to bind him. Asta, initially drawn to Cyril, becomes disillusioned after witnessing his actions. Initially terrified, Cyril reluctantly becomes Hailey servant, dubbed "Slave #1."
As the plot unfolds, Cyril discovers that his father collaborates with the church and tries to assassinate him. In a turn of events, Cyril rebels against his father, exposing the church's corruption and dismantling his own household. However, due to Hailey forgetting to purify him, he becomes fully contaminated. Eventually, Hailey decides to remove his demonic energy, and they develop a reluctant alliance, even as she continues to refer to him as "Slave #1."

I was actually waiting for Kwon-young to have land a job. I was hoping maybe he will will become a teacher or something but I guess I won't be seeing that.
Hope this helps. Chapter 41 for the adaptation is Chapter 50 under the novel. Link is: https://noodlebrainsquad.org/the-trashy-pd-has-to-survive-as-an-idol-episode-50/
May I know any spoilers about the second timeline? Why is there a third timeline???
Second timeline: they get married and have many babies and live happily ever after
Third timeline is about season 1 kloff going into the past. It’s not very cheery because he constantly feels guilty.
There is an AU afterwards set in timeline 1 where aeroc doesn’t die and kloff straightens out and aeroc is able to live with his children peacefully,
Ohh! That helps a lot!!! I was so troubled since I really love the current (second) timeline. I can say that Kloff is different from the first timeline and I can't seem to get mad at the current one since he made a different choices in life and I like how he expresses himself through his POV.
Thanks!
Lmao I didn’t start reading this until after season 2 was already out. I think I read one or two chapters of season one before I said a big NOPE and completely skipped it. I think that helped me find Kloff to be more likable, and then I read the novel translations.
Was this drop??? I totally forgot I was reading this one back on 2023.
I can't count how many times I have read this. I still react the same way I first read it!!!!
I WAS ENJOYING BUTTT WHATT THE FUCK WAS THAT COCKBLOCKKKK??!!!
