When you don't expect much from the very beginning, you'd be surprised the story was quite interesting. I actually finished it without ranting or complaining. I read a Chinese bl novel in the past (forgot the title). He was also a returner. On his second life, he was able to dodge accidents, deaths and mishaps orchestrated by his enemy because of his knowledge from the past. Or the right thing to say was he was a hundred steps ahead that his enemy couldn't even attempt to threaten him. So he also couldn't take revenge in the absence of crime. So what he did was he sought a magic tool where it could swap places with a person from a different dimension/timeline. He summoned the one who tormented him in the past and punished and killed him in his current dimension/timeline. Following this logic, he felt it wrong to hate and kill the person that hasn't done the crime yet. This must be how aristia also felt. She identified the emperor of each timeline as two different entities and just wrote off his abuse in the past and started all over again in the current timeline . (Although, the damage has been done, the pain and trauma have been inflicted so she just have to delude herself it was just a bad dream, a nightmare)
