I’m on 30 chapters, I was confused with this storyline a little. I thought MC traveled back in time but she talked as if she is in novel that God saintess was supposed to be MC in novel. Like what?

Nahh this isn't like a novel, she just went back to the past. She says that Lysia is like the "main character" because in her past life she was a saint and an empress and Tia loved her dearly. Also because Tia loves Cedric (in the past and now), but thinks that in the last timeline Lysia and Cedric were in love (which is false btw, Cedric loved Tia in the past timeline as well).

He knew she was brilliant and behind every political move that her half brother decided. He also fell in love with her when they first danced together, kinda love at first site and he never let go after that. He's just observing her in the shadows. He also tried everything to free but he failed. Without him, she won't be able to turn back time, just like her, he gave half his life to her just for her to go back in time.
Hehe another method for treatment
