Couldn't you like give a spoiler warning no
its not a spoiler we know all this from the last 2 chapters and the first chapter
But... this isn't a spoiler. As queen said, most of this is in the first three chapters.
It's hard to forgive this Ruve because we know just how evil he is capable of being. The writer revealed in a later story why he treated her so bad and the original timeline and it was for such a stupid reason.
He might like her "now", but it took only a stupid, petty reason for him to rape her and kill her before. He's a ticking time bomb. The smallest thing could make him hate her again. The author wants us to feel it's a happy ending because he's not that person anymore.
Yeah, but it didn't take much for him to be that person. I feel like he could go evil just as easily. If the author really wanted to give fans a happy ended, she should write a sequel where Ruve died falling off a horse two years after marrying her, leaving her with a child to raise and now she leads the empire and will raise her kid right with her father at her side.
Now she gets the throne, leads the kingdom, has a kid to secure her claim, and Ruve is "Bye Felicia". THAT'S the happy ending I want.
