He is painfully selfish. He didn’t turn back time because he suddenly realised that he loved her, no, he turned back time because her death was negatively impacting him. As in, even if he wanted to, he couldn’t continue his reign without her.
When the empress told him “The feeling of accepting your mate and being loved by her, I’m sure you’ve experienced it” in chapter 4, he was SILENT. Why? Because he hasn’t experienced it. He doesn’t, and never has, loved and accepted Solan, when Solan loved and accepted him.
A dragon experiences emptiness when they lose their mate, like in the picture, he started bleeding when he lost Solan. He felt pain after she died, not because he loved her and was saddened by her passing, but because that’s just what happens to dragons who have lost their mate.
(On another note, the author better explain the story behind the noose he gifted her before she died, and what the aftermath of her death was.)
I think he’s trying to win her heart so he doesn’t have to go through that pain again. At first I thought “ah he just needs her to retain his crown”, but he’s willing to not become the emperor to stay by her side, so that theory is out the window. Anyway, let’s see what happens. He’s just deluding himself into thinking that he loves her, when in fact he doesn’t… and I sincerely hope that he author keeps his obsessiveness (because I like my obsessive and possessive MLs haha) but makes her either get with someone else or she stays happy single. That’s the end of my long rant.
Cain is most likely Blake. Rex said that Cain made a deal with him, causing him to have Cain’s memories and for Cain to lose his. As for what the deal is, it’s most likely related to Elise and probably something along the lines of “let the two of us end up together” or something.
This Blake clearly isn’t the Blake from the novel as his personality is completely different from what Elise was expecting. This coupled with the fact that “Lucas” (no clue what his real name is) couldn’t enter Blake’s body means that someone else is inhabiting it. So who else could it be other than Cain?
Again, Rex said that Cain doesn’t have his memories but his original feelings for Elise might still linger in his heart, causing him to act extremely affectionate towards her from the beginning. Also, Cain was supposed to play the role of Blake when him and Elise were still alive so…
Anyway if I’m wrong then oh well. Also lmk if I’m wrong I want spoilers










I understand that he has some deep rooted trauma due to never having a stable family, but can she put her foot down and turn him away?? Yeah, he’s a weirdo for acting like this with his step sister, but why is she so passive about it?
This exactly this! like if you dont want to then you can easily push him, like she's really pissing me off like girl why are you so chilled it about it!
