Fr. The ending we got now is basically undermining all the work and effort mc has put into her plan, without forgetting how genius she was for even coming up with such a plan. The ‘oh everyone knew, so now she’s happy’ really is disappointing when we could’ve had a character pretending to be a villainess and being so smart she managed to manipulate absolutely everyone.
This is definitely how I feel cause the romance feels really...off, if that makes sense? The beginning was very interesting as a sibling dynamic I haven't seen yet but the romance just isn't it. Both of the guys feel like paper cut outs and lack depth, especially the prince (I kinda find him annoying). If this ended with the MC getting executed, I think it would've been turned into one of my favorite stories. Imagine her sister getting old and then discovering that the MC truly loved her and sacrificed herself to make sure she lived like ouch :(
I kinda feel its wouldve been more fulfilling with a bittersweet ending where everything just goes according to mcs plan
