Ines has definitely gradually been developing. But I think this is one of those chapters that shows her more important developments in a more direct way which I like. I like that we are walked through her thought process as she realizes it’s unfair to continue hiding things from him while expecting complete transparency from his side which also indirectly gets them even closer together.
Sometimes the manwha chapters feel a little rushed so seeing her thoughts getting breathing room this ch is nice.
Agreed. I just posted on that. This is extremely important development for Ines. It’s not an easy thing for her to admit she’s wrong. She’s not that type of person. One of the reasons why she only gets the bad memories from the first timeline is to develop her character and as we discussed before, she conscientiously changes her behavior in the present to be kinder to Carcel. I simply love that he’s influencing her change without even thinking about it.
Hopefully this doesn’t become a full blown love triangle. I’m so over love triangles ruining perfectly good stories. It’s been so long since I was invested in a romance manhwa so Im actually so nervous of this actually turning into a love triangle.
I’m fine with ones where the 2nd mls’ purpose is to just move the plot along so I’m hoping he’ll be used in the same way in this one as well. But after ch 51, I’m nervous the author will make the mc entertain something with the 2nd ml considering the situation is in favor of him right now.
It would be great if the author could go to the part of their backstory that explains micheol’s fears and then make him get his shit together without it turning into a full blown love triangle. Hopefully that’s what happens but after ch51 I’m not confident lol.
I like this story so far, but it frustrates me so much when I see characters hide things that don’t need to be hid. Like the whole shit with his step brother. I don’t get what the mc gained from not letting the ml know initially. The step brother didn't even have anything to blackmail him with either in the beginning and the mc didn’t do anything wrong so he could’ve confidently explained himself.
Now it’s too late though. Cause now that he’s lied numerous times and the ml’s right-hand man knows, it’ll feel like a “betrayal” if he explains himself now. It feels like the author just did that to make way for future drama.
I’m glad they communicated, but hopefully Ines will feel the need to stop trying to hide things from him now that she experienced the pain of being on the receiving end with the contraceptive. I feel like that’s what the end of the chapter is hinting at with her saying she knows what to do now.
True. I do appreciate the issue wasn’t swept under the rug that Ines did see a child as an obligation to fulfill then leave. At least she’s aware that Carcel realized this and she didn’t deny it’s true.
I also liked that both sides addressed the reason for their intimacy. Ines accused him of intimacy while denying her their child and he responded by asking if their intimacy is only about having a child.
At least they settled that issue and they’re on the same page now.
Next week is the hiatus break for the English release so the next chapter is November 22nd. If you’d like a sneak peek, the Korean version is ahead and the next chapter was released this past Thursday. See below of you’re interested:

I agree. I really like that this story doesn’t drag anything out more than necessary. It’s refreshing.
Thanks for the raws! I lost the link so I’ve been searching for it.
Thank you so much
The episode we were waiting for was finally released in South Korea today. See link below:
https://newtoki469.com/webtoon/53655718?toon=%EC%9D%BC%EB%B0%98%EC%9B%B9%ED%88%B0
The one where Ines comes clean. Truth be told, I think they missed the mark in the aspect of showing Ines realized how hurt Carcel was. The English version will probably be released on November 29th.
The art looks particularly good this chapter. I’ll wait for the official translations but it’s unfortunate that they didn’t do certain things justice. The facial expressions were drawn pretty well though.
It’s interesting how a season ago, Ines would have been happy with this development considering she was trying her hardest to shove women at carcel after he stated he would be faithful as part of her plan. However, now that she grew to love him back, she feels like it’s a betrayal. It goes to show both ines’ development and the development of their overall relationship.
Also I could be reading too much into it but, I love how this scene has so many layers to it.
- Ines jumping to conclusions due to previous trauma with oscar.
- Tying it back to the very 1st timeline with Ines knowing about her miscarriage.
- The hypocrisy of Ines being hurt carcel is hiding things from her but she’s been hiding more things from him since the very beginning.
- The development of Ines’ feelings for carcel
This might also be the moment Carcel will truly realize how deeply Ines loves him since it feels like Carcel doesn’t understand the extent to which she has grown to care for him. I feel like ch110 did a good job showing Ines’ care for him too.
Great points! I think you will loved next episode. The author does a phenomenal job because about six or more different issues for this couple are addressed and it’s addressed on both sides.
I probably will. I like how conflicts in this story aren’t drawn out unnecessarily and generally have a purpose in either progressing the overall plot or the character arcs.
Idk if this is an unpopular opinion but I feel like hanuel entertaining anything with the 2nd ml would just prove micheol’s worries right and not progress the plot.
Excluding him supposedly “hurting” her in the past, 2 other reasons mincheol rejected her is how fickle hanuel’s feelings are to things in general and the possibility of their relationship being worse if they break up. He already thinks breaking up could damage their relationship forever, and haneul’s impulsive behavior where she goes through phases reinforces that idea.
So if she quickly moves onto the 2nd ml I feel like it would prove mincheol right in thinking that her feelings for him aren’t that deep idk.
Bro pls he ignored her first instead of talking to her, he fucked up already and they weren’t even together so why does she has to proof herself that she likes him be fr xd
Sorry I might have worded myself wrong. I’m not saying she has to prove herself. I just think it would be weird if she instantly moved onto the 2nd ml considering the context. I but we can agree to disagree lol it’s just my opinion, not facts.
YESSS THIS IS IT
That was an intense start to the chapter. Everytime new dialogue from the first timeline between Carcel and Ines is revealed, it feels like Ines was pretty horrible towards him while he just took it probably cause he’s the more laidback than her.
But also we don’t have full context, so maybe it’ll make sense when we do. I’m not sure.
If you want the context, you can check out my post at the link below:
https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/20388751/
Be warned it’s a SPOILER but the answer will never appear in the main story. The full context is in the epilogue which I believe the manhwa will not cover.
About the first timeline, it is straight angst through near the end. It was a tragic life and the deeply saddening thing about it is neither Carcel nor Ines did anything wrong to anyone but this person took upon themselves to destroy Carcel and Ines’s life. The couple was completely innocent. They were engaged from a young age so they were rightfully each other’s partner. They were faithful to each other from childhood so there wasn’t another person who should’ve interfered.
Prolly cause she was married to Cesar and every time he saw Ines talk to Carcel he’d become jealous and rape +beat her
Thanks for the in-depth spoilers. It’s unfortunate it won’t be in the manhwa but there’s a chance they may add it as a part of a long set of side stories.
I think tha’s technically her 2nd life since she’s remembering the life she forgot now.
Oh, I forgot to mention that you’re right. Ines was an extremely difficult wife to Carcel in the first timeline. That’s why I always say his love was the most tested by far in this story. Nothing else can compare.
When I used to discuss the novel with fellow novel readers two years ago, I always used to say quite honestly I would have dumped a spouse like Ines and I think most men would have done the same. Even Ines knows Carcel must really love her to put up with the way she treated him in the first timeline.
That’s why when she made her wish after her unfated death in the first true timeline, she wished that he would find a BETTER wife than her. Well, this current arc is supposed to now make her that BETTER wife and it leads to her fulfilling her original wish for Carcel herself. That’s one of the reasons why she’s only getting the memories of the worst moments in the first timeline. Notice their impact on her. She’s actually learning to be a better wife each time she remembers what a difficult wife she was to him.
Yes. I really liked ch110 cause it showed Ines using her memories to fix her mistakes in a way. Particularly, her expressing verbally that she likes him and that she’s praying for him.
Exactly. This continues right to the last page of the main story. She’s learning and growing. For example, she wasn’t even close to Carcel’s mom in the first true timeline. Her psychology was very messed up because her mother had the most influence on her then. Her mother also abused her physically, emotionally and mentally. So she was a complicated and stubborn person. However, watch her build genuine mutual relationships this time around with a lot of people for the first time in any life.
I’m honestly waiting for ines to share her guilt to carcel or just properly confess to him. I just feel like we always see carcel feeling guilt for things that are way out of his control as if everything’s his fault. So I’m hoping when ines confesses her shortcomings and guilt she feels towards him it’ll even out the slight unbalance in their relationship so they feel more equal.
It’s clear carcel believes the feelings ines has towards carcel aren’t at the same intensity as carcel’s. So I feel like if Ines is somehow able to communicate that she feels the same level of love carcel does it’ll progress their relationship to a better stage.
The issue with Ines is she keeps everything in her head. Also, the manhwa doesn’t convey well the fact that Ines is not a romantic person. Part of this is because of how she was raised (or family environment) and partly because of her personality which is like her parents. So it’s kind of funny later when she gets upset with Carcel for always having low expectations regarding her feelings for him or debating with him over who loves the other more.
However, Ines’s love for Carcel can already be seen in her reactions to him and the things she would do for him especially when we compare her past self in the early days of their marriage to her present self. She still has a lot to learn about love, showing love and voicing her love. For example, Ines would never willing use ‘Sun of my Life’ first. She thinks it’s embarrassing. It’s Carcel he uses it first and watch how she’ll begin to use these endearments because she learns this way of expressing her love from Carcel. Later, she even learns words of wisdom about love from Carcel’s mom. So, these are all new experiences for her despite the fact she’s lived three times already. Many new experiences lie ahead for her so look forward to it.
So, I do understand the imbalance you mentioned. Think of it as Ines learning love and how to express love from Carcel. Once Carcel sets an example of love, Ines ends up following it eventually. It’s rather cute to see how she’ll begin gradually begins to change to become a better lover.
Oh, I forgot about the guilt part, maybe in about 3 - 6 episodes, you will get your wish. Finally we can see some development on this topic on Ines’s side. I don’t think the manhwa can change it because it’s a pivotal moment.
Oh, and the guilt is addressed like the pattern in my first comment. Ines learns so much from Carcel’s example, generosity and overwhelming kindness towards her.
Thanks for all the details I feel like it helps me understand Ines better since the manhwa simplifies characters sometimes. After re-reading the newest chapters, it’s great seeing them interact for the first time after Ines got those memories cause I feel like you can already see how much more expressive she is with Carcel compared to before which shows her development I think.
Wait why are people saying Carcel is canonically stupid? I feel like the entire arc in season 2 where Ines and Carcel are apart from one another did a great job showing Carcel is in fact very intelligent.
Also in the beginning of season 2, if Ines hadn’t gaslit and guilt-tripped Carcel into sounding crazy, Carcel was about to figure out ines’ whole plan of using him as a pawn who she will later divorce. I feel like it’s clear he’s very smart.
Even this chapter, he has a solid plan when deciding to divorce Ines. The only reason it sucks isn’t cause it’s dumb, but cause Ines likes carcel now and wouldn’t want to divorce him anymore. But Carcel obviously doesn’t fully understand that, not cause he’s dumb, but cause he doesn’t have all of the information yet.
Carcel is actually smarter and wiser than most of these characters. He’s not relying on memories to live so he doesn’t have a cheat card like them. He’s living and making decisions as he goes and he’s never made any fatal decisions that destroyed anyone’s life. He also knew all along something was wrong with Ines and often came pretty close to guessing the truth.
Anyway, regarding your question you asked on my other post, here is the conversation from the novel that shows what Emiliano and Carcel talked about. I mixed up the pendant vs child but I corrected the post. I went back to look up the chapter:
—————————-
Carcel: Later, as soon as the wound recovers, go to Sevilla and take Inés and the child. Not right now…
Emiliano: Lady Inés....
Carcel: She's at a hideout in Sevilla.
Present Day Emiliano: I killed the child. I betrayed the grace you had given us, when I went back there and got caught."
Emiliano: May I dare ask you for one more favor?
Carcel: It's not enough to save you?
Emiliano: I'm sorry... but I have no one but you to ask.
Carcel: Say it.
He asks Carcel to find the pendant as the jeweler/pawn shop and deliver it to Ines.
Carcel: How can I deliver it to your wife? I won't even know where you guys will live by then.
Emiliano: We'll probably be separated soon...
Carcel: You're breaking up after all this difficulty? I'm amazed.
Emiliano: Lady Inés will soon return to where she was.
Carcel: Then you.
Emiliano: I'll probably take our child away far away. Peral, anywhere. To a very far place...... A place where I can't hurt Lady Inés.’
bruh once again it’s the shallow readers who take everything at face value and not think about it any deeper
Oh I just hate interacting to these kind of people who doesn't even read properly or once they brand a character as someone, they would just see him as that. Like a "Selective hearing" behavior.
Truth. It’s always them with their kneejerk reaction. The double standards are also so blatant. It’s okay for Ines to spend 17 years plotting divorce against Carcel but it’s not okay for Carcel to even consider divorcing Ines for like a few hours. Never mind he’s simply trying to fulfill her wish. The GOOD thing about this is the topic will not be swept under the rug. It will be dealt with in the near future. The fact that Ines plotted 17 years against him to use him and dump him.
Oh yeah I saw your reply to me, thanks. If they showed this in the manwha it would’ve been a lot less vague.
For real. I think his “sillier” personality that he has around Ines make people think he’s dumb despite him only acting like that cause that’s his wife and he loves her. Also it’s kind of ridiculous to think that cause his thought process and actions show otherwise. Also every time Carcel misunderstands something, people forget he doesn’t have his memories unlike most of the main characters.
This was a good chapter, but I’m unsure what the point is of omitting those last couple speech bubbles considering in the raws for the next chapter we don’t revisit this scene. So it’ll either be omitted forever or maybe revisited later? I’m not sure.
I have no idea why they omitted the words. It’s most meaningful here. They also neglected to show that Ines realized Carcel already knew the truth about why she chose him and he was hurt by the truth. They always diminish his feelings or hurt as a person except when he’s hurting for Ines. This is why many of the original novel readers I knew already dropped the manhwa since season 1.
Novel excerpt below from Ines’s perspective:
—————
"Because I never intended to live as your wife in the first place."
The forlong blue eyes of Cárcel crumbled a little. What struck her in the meantime was that he was hurting while knowing everything. He wasn't falling apart by the unexpected shock of the dream, nor by the sense of betrayal from her. (INES REALIZED CARCEL WASN’T SHOCKED BY THE TALK OF DREAMS AND THE TRUTH OF WHY SHE CHOSE HIM)
"I wasn't going to ever tell you, not because I want you to live with me without knowing, but because you don't even need to know."
It was a wound he was already familiar with, a pain he could foresee. She just couldn't understand it. (INES’S THOUGHTS)
"In the first place, I thought my problem had nothing to do with you. That's the difference between my parents and me who deceived you."
But he knew. How did he know, yet could still love her? (INES’S THOUGHTS)
"I was the one who knew my flaws best, but I wasn't the least bit sorry for you.
Because this marriage isn't real anyway."
"Inés."
"I was going to ruin everything from the start. From that early age, looking at the innocent you."
“I know.”
“I…….”
“I know, Inés. Even if you didn’t look so sorry to death.”
“I, Cárcel, I….”
“I know it’s not like that anymore.”
Cárcel’s eyes were stiff, as if he had been hurt. Ironically, as much as he didn’t break down, she belatedly fell apart. Tears that filled up in an instant flowed down endlessly. (INES’S THOUGHTS)
That’s unfortunate. It looks like the novel does a really good job acknowledging both characters’ point of views. I believe the artist once stated they liked both characters equally in a recent extra chapter. However clearly there’s some favoritism lol. The art this chapter was great though.
They are biased. What people don’t know generally, the artist and the storyteller had an interview in Taiwan and a Taiwanese novel reader told us about it. She then provided the translation of the interview and their answers showed they strongly favored Ines. The only thing I can say in the artist’s favor is that she at least got the message of the story correct. She said the story is about love between Ines and Carcel. For some novel readers on the forum who saw the interview, it confirmed one of their reasons to drop the manhwa story entirely.
I think the dialogue will be on the next chapter. Chill
The next two chapters were already released in Korea so I already know what’s in them. At least know your facts first before telling someone to chill.
