Raymond: "Yeah, you see, I kindaaaa ...hated your guts, and yeah, I know I kindaaa... made sure EVERYONE and their grandmother knew that I'd rather eat my own d*ck than marry you... But stiiiiill... everyone KNEW I would someday, like, get whatever had crawled up my arse, finally out, and we would STILL, kinda, one day... ... somehow... ... like, uh, end up getting married... I mean, *cough* everyone KNEW that we would!!!!"

Disgusting sycophant who called the time capsule "nonsense" and is helping his b... of a mistress evade taxes... And they want that sh*t of a person to become empress??? All of you need to be trampled on until you realize what kind of trash you all are for serving such a trash person and thinking so highly of the trashiest b...tch that has ever lived... Sorry not sorry, I HATE Liena to the bone; to me it's clear she's not just selfish but a self-serving bitch who ruins, exploits and deceives others to make herself into some kind of fake goddess, and aiming to become empress so she can enjoy an emperor husband so obsessed with her that he'd ruin and threaten innocent people of the country just for her sake, and for no good reason... She's a b...tch through and b...tch and I want to see her roll in the dirt.

Turns out that Ethel (the mc), has also had a previous life in that same universe, which she doesn't remember, but which was her ORIGINAL first life, in which she (and not Liena) was the Cassius family's adopted daughter. The life that Liena has used to be the mc's life (whish is why her current ex-husband couldn't sleep with her: the brotherly feelings he has for the mc are due to the first timeline that neither of them remembers, in which the mc was INDEED his sister). The reason it changed is because Liena, who was another child from the same orphanage, got jealous of the mc's life and sold her soul to some evil entity to rewind time and make the entity give the mc's life to herself, so that SHE would become the Cassius family's adopted, in place of Ethel.
So, they had a second life... and even a third one. The story takes part in their third life, because it turns out that in the ML turned back time again, after Liena had already done it, to undo how Ethel had ended up killed by Liena's machinations, in their second lifetime.
Description of their Lifetimes (taken from NU):
1st lifetime:
- Ethel and Liena were both orphans living together in the same place and were friends.
- Ethel was originally the one being adopted by the Cassius family and Leandro (her current ex-husband) was her adoptive older brother. She had a good life and even met Terence and fell in love.
- Liena, however, had a hard life and even died in a robbery in that timeline, regretting that she couldn't get herself adopted by a rich family like the mc had.
2nd lifetime:
- Liena managed to turn back time since she felt unjust about her whole life/death. In this timeline she managed to be adopted by the Cassius family in Ethel's place.
- In this timeline, Ethel was adopted by the Wallace family, but managed to escape from their unfair treatment. She ended up running away and managed to land a job at the black haired ML's villa, as a maid. The Wallace family gave up on her and adopted another girl to replace the runaway Ethel, to have her married to Leandro Cassius.
- Liena's followers at some point try to kill Terence (the black haired ML) to prevent him from becoming the emperor, but accidently ended up killing Ethel. Terence fell into darkness and made a deal with 'another' god to turn back time (once again) to get Ethel back.
Third and Current timeline:
-This is the current life, where Ethel didn't run away from Wallace, but ended up marrying her past life's brother, Leandro, and becoming the daughter-in-law of the Cassius family........

SOME SPOILER:
And also Liena and Ethel have been given a gift by the goddess. Liena has the power to make everything or everyone loves her (correct me if Im wrong but sounds same to the spoiler) but she made a contact to the evil where on the spoiler above says, while the MC has a power to undo Liena's power where she used to undo the charm on the Cassius Family and the Grandfather (where he knows that Cassius hates commoner (which is Lienna) so he cant understand why he loves Liena so much).

Glad to know there's still hope for Nephthys: she wasn't always the version that she now is. However, as much as I feel sorry for her and all, to me she's got plenty of her own much more urgent things to atone for, as a mother, before she can even THINK of romance (bewith Seth, or with anybody). This is because, to me, no matter the reason, at the end of the day the facts are that she allowed both Seth and Osiris to do whatever they wanted with Anubis, for centuries (and that was the REAL one, not a fake: bottomline is the mirror Nephthys is just her lost memories, not a real being; so even though the one outside is an incomplete version, it's still the real one). She's already catered to the men in her life LONG ENOUGH, trying to do what she thought that either Seth or Osiris needed, to keep them happy, at the expense of her only son. Now it's time for her to FINALLY make *Anubis* into a priority.

Baby princess Sylvia is so awesome, she's only 12, and more gutsy than all the adults... she's even ready to start a rebellion against the ntjob emperor in order to free her illegally imprisoned cousin. She'd have been a MUCH BETTER FL than Chloe "Mary Sue" Langhser could ever dream of!! Really, that kid should have had her own story.
Why did the family's enemies never stop targeting her even after she allegedly became "worthless"? She allegedly had no worth anymore, and even the family ignored her, yet the enemies apparently still thought her useful as a victim/hostage, since they took so many pains to frame her, much later on, in order to try to take her from her family. Suspicious. Why the heck would the enemy bother with a worthless reject? What the heck was everyone hidding from her?
I think the Iron Blood already planted a lot of spies within the Namgoong. Which makes them know that the family actually love Ahee, but can't show it publicly because of the Nanny and the other elder's conspiracy plan. Since the head of Namgoong is currently not in a good state after the war, there are probably a lot of internal fight (mostly elders that eyeing the heir position).
If the Iron Blood know that much, that was actually the perfect plan. Namgoong was always described as a clan with deep loyalty and pride. If Ahee was accused of such a thing and was about to snatched away from the family, her siblings won't sit still. The fact that all three of them died, I assume they already prepared this for so long to the point of gathering a bunch of army like they're were about to have a war with a demonic cult or something.
If all the heirs died, and Ahee remains. Namgoong will collapse for sure b3cause she had no cultivation. That was a gold plan actually.
To me, these newer chapters where we see the elders talk with each other, it seems to be implied/hinted that some of them are working for or with other forces to bring Namgoong down completely, and not just seek the position of head of the family / the power it has. If this is the case, framing MC would also make sense - even if it's solely blamed on her, the family would still take a hit, and in the case of the siblings potentially caring for her, their refusal would also hurt Namgoong, giving an excuse to destroy the family. Which was what ended up happening in their previous life.
From what I can see, FL is the only legitimate child of the former head (i.e blood related). Their initial plan was probably to brainwash her then take over Namgung with her as a puppet. When the siblings planned much better than they expected and that failed, they tried to forcibly take her using the poison, my best guess would be that they'd marry her to their eldest son then take over Namgung that way. Her being "useless" is all the better for them, in fact I would guess her being "useless" was caused by them to make her easier to handle. I bet she will be OP as hell in this life bc of superior bloodline or something.
