Well, you bring up some points but it still should not just be like that. The main point for me is that Tia's PTSD is not at all addressed. No matter that 2nd TL Ruvel is better, it shouldn't be magical reasons for Tia's PTSD to not be addressed. The author is trying for a very fucking failed attempt at it, by pseudo saying that Tia does not want to get into anything bcs of Jieun; but then after that, nothing. The author just keeps pointing and pointing and pointing to how 2nd TL is "better" and fuck that. That shouldn't dismiss how Tia has memories of suffering bcs of Ruvel, Ruvel's tragic backstory or no. Oh, I mean that 2nd TL Ruvel IS better, but that only just addresses HIS problems in the first TL and not at all Tia's no matter how connected they are, it just smoothes things along. For me, that smoothing along, should realistically just make them friends and not lovers. I hope I was sort of clear, and sorry if I wasn't.

Ok i will agree with you that the author did a horrible job of portraying tia's ptsd but there is also the fact that after her realisation that the Two Princes are different plus the added years the incident happened the effects of trauma could have worn off and her old image of the prince could have been replaced either image of the new one add that to all her new friends who have helped you along the way it is possible that tia could have overcame her ptsd .I did some searching( because I want to give the best possible argument) and it is possible for people to overcome ptsd(((PTSD does not always last forever, even without treatment. Sometimes the effects of PTSD will go away after a few months. Sometimes they may last for years – or longer. Most people who have PTSD will slowly get better,))) there is also the fact that you have to remember she did love the prince and she had done for many years and despite what has happened to her in the first life that love could still remain even if it's a little bit(( you don't just devote yourself and your love to someone for years only to give up at the drop of a hat)) so because of the new image the prince has in her mind that could respark that love she felt for him in the first life causing her to fall for him again.
Thanks for your side of the debate and I think you need some excellent points and it was clear and easy to read I hope I put up a strong argument(⌒▽⌒) I really do enjoy debating Romance

Yes you did and thank you as well for being a champ about this HAHAHA In the end, this might just really be a difference in viewpoints when it comes to love? Because well, I can stomach it if Tia and Ruvel do end up together, though I still prefer Carsein. After all, as the story ends people will always have a preferred ending and this is just another one of those.

Maybe the past him and present him are different. But I can't stomach the idea of her ending up with that Prince because she's going to go through endless drama again (being an empress is not peaceful ya know). She deserves a carefree lifestyle after she experienced that shit in her past life. Even if that prince changed for the better, so what? She deserves better.
I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this comment but i ship tia with the prince so hear me out before skipping this comment!
There is a very distinct difference between prince and the first life 1 and that is that he is showing he cares in this second Life. this is shown by the desperation and worry in his face when tia collapses in an earlier chapter and also that he goes out of his way to humiliate a princess to try cheer up tia. he has also been shown to help her out with squashing the rumours and to let her go see the redhead at his knighting ceremony even though it gave him backlash( lots and lots of paperwork). I know it's unrealistic how quickly she got over her ptsd but you also have to remember that it's mentioned several times that the prince never did these sort of things in his first life( it is shown by a flashback of the first dance where in the first life when she tripped he let fall and be humiliated while in the second he actually had a real conversation with her well kinda) but as I was saying it has showing that this prince is different from the last one tia ever said it herself that is she is too busy comparing the two.plus in the last life it's said that he didn't give her a time of day but in this one he is desperate to make her change her mind about becoming his is Queen.
Oh yeah those are my reasons of why I ship them and if anyone wants to get into a debate with me I would love to see your replies it's always fun to get other people's opinions :)(⌒▽⌒)
