You’re absolutely right. They use her past to excuse her behavior but do you know in her previous life she slept with a complete stranger while engaged and three months before she was set to marry? By these readers standards, that means she cheated too. So while calling Carcel are cheater who shouldn’t be forgiven, they turn a blind eye to this fact.
In the end, readers opinions don’t matter. It’s what Ines thinks that matters. So, will she realize her actions are wrong. Wait and see if she comes to her senses.
Dont get me wrong I want them together but It's critical to remember that she was hurt painfully from a man who cheated on her on her first life, diseases and abuse and all. Of course she will be cautious of his cousin, who is also known for his similar promiscuous behaviour. Not to mention, he only really stopped sleeping around when he figured out she knew. He is a grown man. Ines wanted him to be promiscuous for her plan but she didn't force him into the bed of every woman. Ines is a woman in this society where they are as usual, subjugated. And yes she is causing him unwarranted pain but her only other options are beyond slim, it's made very clear. Readers are much more sympathic to her because she isn't stupid, easily falling for the ML because he says he's gonna be faithful. Is it unfair to Carcel who wants to change? Yes, but he made that bed and he has to lie in it until she can trust him. Cause she isn't stupid.
You’re making excuses for her. Ines has “always” pointed out that Carcel is different to Oscar. She has never once, at all, seen any similarity between them and would even consider it an insult to compare them. Manhwa skipped some of this but Ines will most likely address it again in the future. Plain and simple, Ines chose Carcel because he is considered the best looking man in Ortega and she believed the false rumors from the time when she was crown princess that Carcel is a womanizer. She chose him to use him and dump him. All this thought you’re putting in to her not trusting him is useless. Her intention was always to use him and dump him no matter what. It’s only an issue now because the runouts she built her plan on are blatantly false.
`I also want to add that people are pulling out excuses from thin air that she's traumatized by Oscar's cheating when she's not. If she was so traumatized it wouldn't make any sense for her to choose a guy to cheat on her. Even back in the chapter of meeting Maria, she was looking so excited to imagine Carcel will cheat on her with Maria. She is not traumatized by cheating. She is traumatized by Oscar's rape and Carcel never raped her so she was never hurt by him.`
You're ignoring that she has like no choices in this. I'm not making excuses for her I'm explaining her situation. She tried running away and look what happened. And the false rumours were quite true, no? I made it clear her actions were cruel but she's forced into a corner out of being a woman in the time period. Getting divorced without a child making her have almost no influence. And even if she doesn't compare him to Oscar ishe did as you say "believe(d) the false rumours the from the time she was the Crown princess that Carcel is a womanizer" that is in a way a comparison to her ex husband even if she doesn't want to admit it. Her experience with her abuser is affecting her current choices. People are being unnecessarily cruel to Ines who has done nothing but suffer. And yes, she is being cruel to Carcel, planning to use him and dump him as you put it. But that's just a plot point as she realises she hurts him just as she was. she is going to eventually realise it.
And it's not useless to analyse a piece of media that includes these themes. Her 'trust' in him is the reason why she wants to use him for her plan. And gaining a true sense of trust is what will allow her to realise what she's putting carcel through in all this.
Nah bro what is u saying she cheated with ONE man coz she was trying to escape A FOKING R@PIST WHO IS THE REASON HER MOFOKING CHILDREN DIED???? while the blondie cheated on her MULTIPLE times just coz she wont give him attention...like...i dont hate him but both of their situation are not the same and she is not as bad as her (now) childish husband...there is Litrelly no excuse for him...he is definitely a cheater, he has changed but comeon man...no way ppl saying that to mah girl ines is bad, nah she is truamtised and imo she gets a pass coz no way she should live with her r@pist AGAIN in her 2nd life, its not a excuse
Readers always say Ines had no choice. Ines had a choice is every single life. She chose all of her husbands. Her family didn’t choose them. She just has a knack of choosing the wrong men. She says this in the manhwa when the maid was combing her hair. Readers always choose to see Ines as a victim of the time when she has more power than even other noblewomen. She’s the greatest noblewoman in her time because she’s the only girl among the top five families.
Those false rumors aren’t even true. The next few chapters should clear that up. Ines has the gall to berate the two guys at the navy banquet who were badmouthing Carcel and wanted to get them in trouble when she’s no different to them when she based everything she thinks she knows on rumors about Carcel. How is she any different from them? She’s not. It’s yet again proof of why she keeps messing up her life.
A womanizer is different to an adulterer. Dante is a womanizer and he is starkly different to Oscar. Even Ines knows this. The emperor and empress both have lovers and even they are different to their son. The emperor has never gone to a brothel or slept with prostitutes. He’s different to his own son. Same with the empress. She was actually shocked to find out how debauched her son was. So if the crown prince own parents were shocked by his behavior, why would Ines even think that Carcel, Dante, the emperor, the empress and all the other promiscuous men and women in society are like Oscar? Oscar is a different level on his own and even later scandal will prove it. No. Ines, plain and simple, has no problem with Carcel and only wanted to use him and dump him.
Ines acknowledges she’s a cheater. Only readers here wants to say she isn’t. So, if a wife cheats on her husband once, she didn’t cheat? You guys make me laugh. It just takes one time of sleeping with another person while married to be called a cheater. You guys want to excuse her but Ines will own that she cheated. Manhwa probably won’t admit it because hey already covered up her cheating but the novel has that information.
Uhhh she was literally led to killing her own child and herself when she chose to get a man she liked on her own in her 2nd life???? She has a choice amongst the high nobles of her own rank only...so carcel and that good for nothing. I think one more was mentioned but she didn't want to ruin him coz she sees herself as broken and a cheater. She said that herself as yk. She choose a trash like carcel "as same as her" coz she thinks he will leave her on his own coz he is a womanizer in the end. Had carcel been a faithful man i would say ines is the bad one for sure. (And thats why the romance twist of them being together) I dont see why ines is in the wrong still.
+ The empress also has an eye for her?? We gonna ignore that? She is the reason she has to marry only carcel or that good for nothing? If she marries anything less than powerful as them she will be killed? Or wont be able to love as she wants to anyways. It seems so from the beginning of her flashbacks of her new childhood. Carcel happened to be the best choice. So she basically dosent have a choice. Marrying into power and having power herself is two different things. She has authority but not when it comes to marriage partners not because of her family but because of the power balance of the empire.
Not saying you are wrong entirely but yeah imma keep arguing till i can see you points clearly.
Ines is wrong. The novel proves it. After this arc, it’s Ines acknowledging how much she has treated Carcel’s life carelessly. She has a lot of regret about the way she treated him. Ines is the one that gets character development to be a better person.
As far as her marriage, whatever Ines wants, her father would get it for her. That’s the kind of man he is. She always chose her husbands. Even with Carcel, she chose him twice. He didn’t choose her. She chose him. All she did was tell her father and he made it happen. She chose the crown prince as well to marry. She chose to runaway with the painter who was a stranger she knew for onky 10 days. She always had a choice. Even if she chose not to tell her father a certain person because she didn’t want to bring trouble to him politically, it’s still her choice.
Ines did things the wrong way from the beginning in the previous timeline. What, she thinks running away from a problem solves it? It doesn’t. And she didn’t run away with her lover. She ran away with a complete stranger whom she only knew for 10 days. Also, if she did nothing wrong, why would she later regret how much trouble she had put her family in. Ines feels terrible about the way she treated her brother who in every lifetime has always treated her well. It’s she who put them in trouble first. Anybody who doesn’t get that point is ignorant of the time period. It’s not only the imperial family that was involved. All the nobility wanted the sinner brought back and punished with her family. Even the commoners sunk Ines name in mud and spread all kinds of rumors about her sexual history. Readers here thinks of things so simply but nothing about the previous timeline was simple. Even the fact that Ines decided to choose a stranger whose face she liked to see, seduced him then ran way with him. It’s over time that she came to love him just like the author said in her questions and answers to fans.
Too bad i aint reading the novel but ig the comic is a lil separate from the novel. And the reason she did things wrong was because her mental illness, she suffered coz of it when carcel thought she was doing it on purpose. She fell in love with that man, even if it was 10 days, he treated her right. She knew if she doesn't act fast she will suffer the same faith as she did in her last life, you are forgetting that she was reborn a lil before to her wedding date. And as everyone in the empire wanted her down, u can see, in the end she has no power when it comes to love. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ never said she shouldn't regret what she did but there is a good reason for it, truama. We can not ignore that.
Everything is her trauma according to you people. Her trauma excuses everything for her. Keep using her trauma for everything she did in the past and will do in the future then. It’s a good thing the author who wrote this story doesn’t deny that she’s wrong when she’s wrong and doesn’t make excuses for her. None whatsoever.
Also, manhwa is not separate from the manhwa. All the lines are directly from the novel. Manhwa just doesn’t show everything or tell everything. That’s why you people are here making up stuff even though the manhwa do stick to the novel.
Maybe Ines is living her nth life. And she did suffer from the previous lives too, but I don’t think manipulating Carcel into divorce so she can be free is fair while justifying that he was originally a womanizer and he can just go back to his old ways. For every life she lived, she tried to live her best life but sadly, she lost to them everytime but where’s Carcel in the picture? I know she still intends to make sure Carcel lives happily after the divorce but most of the time, it’s the aftermath that counts, not the thought. Like, the dead ends their suffering and the living must carry their pain.
If she’s trying to change her fate, then why is he getting hate trying to change his womanizing ways? Also, why should Carcel suffer the consequences? And why do we have to bring up his womanizing days to justify that. It’s like she’s the only one that’s allowed to adjust to her new life while manipulating the other party to stay in the old one. She doesn’t have to fall in love with him if she’s not ready or still traumatized or doesn’t feel like it but they are married and he’s doing his best to make the marriage work. If somebody tells me, “so what if they’re married and/or he’s being nice to her. She can do what she wants because she deserves it and she suffered enough”, a big fat NO to you. In the first place, right now with the current arc of the manwha, she’s currently the only one who remembers their previous life so THAT first and foremost is already unfair to Carcel because he has no say to it and second, if you hate him for his womanizing days, then honestly, you’re a hypocrite for calling out people who made mistakes. Every single person has committed at least one sin. People including Carcel and Ines can change without burdening others. Lol. The way I see it, Carcel is doing that while Ines isn’t.
But i am excited to see the end though. I’ve read spoilers and saw they are indeed very much in love with each other so things worked out for the best.
