If being stupid were a crime, she’d deserve a life sentence in both timelines. Are we really supposed to side with her just because she’s the MC? Her actions are infuriating, and her decisions only made things worse for that poor man. I can’t believe she allowed shock therapy to be used on him, it’s downright cruel.

In her current life, she didn’t make a single smart move to sustain herself. Instead, she continued acting all stuck up, as if that would somehow save her from her impending doom. Once again, she relied on a white knight to rescue her this time around it was his sister.
ML is the biggest victim in all of this, and I find it hard to empathize with someone who continually victimizes themselves through their own stupidity.

The more I brood over it, the more she infuriates me. I don’t understand the author’s attempt to portray her as the victim when she’s clearly the perpetrator. Is this some subtle commentary on women having a victim complex, as opposed to the usual trope of men acting foolish? If so, that might actually make more sense than what’s being presented here.

I know I’m always asking for more FMC’s that leave their trashy male behind, but this is taking it a step further, she stole the opportunity from him and became the trash in the relationship lol
She needs to drop her mental gymnastic routine, it has to be made a mandatory course at trash academy

I’ve sm more to say but this site won’t let me. Nevertheless, it’s a good romantic read with great quality. It’s beautiful, because it accurately represents that time period and its people.

    I couldn’t post my full review since it was too long, so I’m gonna add onto what I said in the replies, although it will most likely get deleted as well.

    It’s almost ingrained human instinct to notice the crooked doctor’s obvious attempts to sow discord between them. Something was obviously afoot. Yet time and time again, she proves herself to be selfish and irresponsible. For instance, she didn’t even bother to check what movie she begged ML to watch, which ended up triggering his trauma and turning him into a public spectacle. That was the last thing he needed for his recovery. And then, she allowed that doctor to torture him further.

    This man lost his entire family, his friends, and became disabled, only to be treated horribly by his own wife. He even took on the duchess’s responsibilities, drowning himself in work while she got to relax with all the luxuries at her disposal.
    She’s been a spoiled brat her whole life. When has she ever faced any true suffering? She couldn’t stand the attention not being on her for once. All she ever thinks about is herself “Why isn’t he focused on me when his life is in ruins?” Even the servants could see how dead wrong she was. I’m baffled that she’s still carrying the same mentality after being reborn.

    Honestly, she disgusts me. Her sheer stupidity can’t excuse all her decisions, she’s just shameless.
    The quality is good and while it may be a good read, I’ll never side with MC, she’s one of the worst cases of victim complex that I’ve ever had the unfortunate opportunity of witnessing.

    first, the time the story takes place is when there was no improvement in psychology or any science, it's like saying "why did they pull out teeth with pliers" that's cause they didn't have the technology & knowledge! second nowadays doctors trick people to do things they don't actually need, then think about the time when most of the people hadn't enough education.
    third, FL shouldn't be all mighty & rightous, & the ML is not a villain. the problem is the readers always want to put the blame on a character.
