See here...(SPOILERS)

(Also, SPOILER THREAD in the replies below. I did some digging after my rant. So if you want spoilers just skip my rant and go to the replies.)

About Allen's change in character... I was already expecting it at some point, for them to do something like that to the story, because we all know that one way or another, the author's gonna find someway of putting the mc and the prince together.

What better way than making the father unreasonable so that he puts a stupid misunderstanding in their way, while also ruining Allen's perfectly likeable character?
Next step, she's gonna make the readers feel all sympathetic and better for the prince and give him a redemption arc of some sort. It's going to happen. Just wait for it.

Sooner or later, she's going to end up back in the prince's arms--there's no way around it, and that fucking sucks because that's just how novels like these go.

I don't want to face it either, but I'm already getting those vibes.

    Spoiler on the past life (I edited the grammar, creds to myling): The prince in the past (and present) was jealous of her and obsessed with her. After she died he always compared her to the heroine. He ended up destroying the heroine because she wasn't the MC so I personally think he always liked her even as kids because they were both sickly but he was nothing special his mom was a maid (i think) so he always had an inferiority complex. It kept getting worse because the MC was too smart and worked her ass off to prove her love for him. In the past life, he never have to ask or worry about anything because she did everything. Ironically this led to worse treatment of the MC, so its her fault i guess .....She did all the queen duties while the heroine played around with the prince. After MC died the country went down.This is what makes me feel sorry for the heroine. She just a regular Korean girl so she doesn't know how to do her duties as a Queen. He kept on asking her why cant' you be as half as good as the MC. Only after she gone he miss the MC .....because his life wasn't easy as before!!!

    Also Spoiler for the story itself (edited by me, some stuff in parentheses added by me for extra info, and creds to myling again):

    In the 2nd life he is still obsessed with her and thinks that the MC belongs to him. The shock of her interacting with other guys and her trying to break the engagement got him to chase her in order to figure her out. When MC went training with her dad she wrote a letter (about her "future" a.k.a. the stuff that the prince did to her in her past life) meant for the rival ML (Allen) but the prince ended up reading it instead (a.k.a. Redemption arc!!! See, told you. He basically starts wondering what caused his future self to be that way, i.e. basically the author's attempt to make us readers sympathetic).

    Even through Mc works hard, fate keeps making them them meet. Then the heroine came to the world and kept trying to get together with the prince, tangling herself with the MC too. Note, she has also been reborn! She wants Mc to do all the work so that she can get the credit. This is when i hated the heroine for being so lazy and selfish. The heroine has become the villainess at this point so eventually the MC blames all the prince bad doing on her, thinking that the heroine led him astray! (Of course, the fact is completely disregarded that the prince himself is also at fault for doing the bad things in the first place. Instead of blaming the prince for not knowing better, she decides to blame the "mistress" in the situation.) Then the MC overcomes her trauma and marries the prince. She forgives the heroine and gives a light punishment. The heroine has to stay at another country up to 5 years (dumb punishment). This novel was so fun but the ending literally kill the story for me. Also as a woman i couldn't figure out why she liked the prince so much. Probably plot power? He was just so forgettable. He more of a tool to keep the plot going. The MC sort of deserves this destiny because in the end, she pushed the blame onto the other the woman and not the man. After I read the ending all I could think was, girl have you ever heard of the me too movement? Yes, the heroine turned evil but she did it to survive in a new world where all she had was a man. The prince never loved the heroine and he was using both girls in his life. He was so selfish and never really repented He doesn't deserve to be happy.

    For those wondering how the heroine died (I edited the grammar, creds to myling again):

    The heroine tried to be queen and get MC to do all the work, like before (in past life). She didn't even try to do it... She is the villain and victim at the same time since, like i said, she was practically kidnapped by the God and stuck in a world she knew nothing about to be a blessed child. She was just an average 18 year old with no talent or training, who didn't even want to be queen. She was just trying to live but God only offers to send her back after everything happened (in the past life). She doesn't want her memories to be erase so she ask to be reincarnate. She wants to do a redo (after prince started to treat her terribly when MC was executed) but as you know the MC got a redo too. So by the time she arrives in the world things are going differently, so she becomes selfish and tries to get in the way of the MC, but only get used by bad people and the God. Everyone uses her and throws her way.

    (myling's thoughts) I wonder what other people will think of her...this is just from my POV so other readers might feel differently, but at first i hated her but in the end i felt sorry for her. I hated the prince and the God the most.

    ALSO: this manga is pirated from T*ppytoons. It was at first free, but the free translator dropped it because:

    (creds to sarrieta90, edited by me)
    "So I got some bad news.
    The person who was translating the Korean webcomic of this novel, found out about the ending and was pissed that someone leaked it. So because of the spoiler leak and the translator's feelings on the novel ending, she will NOT be translating or putting her work on free manga reading sites. So the only way to see it in English now is go on t*ppytoon and pay for it. Sorry."

    I.E. The original translator was so pissed at the ending that she dropped it. Ha.

    And one more from myling in response to someone's question about Allen:
    "Yup she marries the prince and she becomes empress. Her running from him to succeed her dad, and not wanting to marry him causes him to want her. He was always in love with her in a way but was too proud...you will see this trope a lot in korean novels, hmm.

    The green haired guy loses the girl but his daddy issues get solved, sort of, and the other guy meets a girl so happy end, i guess...

    Like I said, I was really unhappy with the end. In fact I heard the prince was so unpopular the author wrote a side story about his point of view but it back fired because it just confirmed he was selfish like that to his very bone marrow. But in the webtoon he's cute and in the novel pic he's dreamy so I purchased it with a bunch of other reborn-esque novels that had similar stories where the ML has a excuse to kill the MC. The MC reborns and suddenly the prince is chasing after her. This is the only novel i couldn't defend the ML at all... Actually that's not true, I read a bunch of Chinese novels like that recently *coughs blood*

    I really appreciate this summary I can’t deal with the people who are sugar coating things that don’t deserve it (i.e. the prince).
