Cause she didn't have any of those charms back then. She was rational, practical and cold hearted to everyone around her. She blindly followed her "fate" without thinking of herself and what she wanted for herself, only thinking about the prince and empress bullshit. And that must've been a pain in the ass of a person to be blunt. While korean girl didn't care about any of the empress related stuff, and now that Tia doesn't either, now that she's her own person the prince is starting to like her as she is
That’s not true. The kind sweet tia you see now is NOTHING like past tia. Past tia was cold and quiet and never showed any emotion at all. He didn’t misunderstood her, because there was nothing to misunderstood, that was who she was.
And also one of the reason he was mean to her in her past life was because the aristocrats faction made him think that she and her family wanted the throne. But the first change that tia made in this life was to ask to break the engagement, what meant that she didn’t want the throne.
And tia keep doing things that doesn’t add to what the aristocrats that use to influence the prince saying. Like how she is not a cold person anymore or how nice she actually is.
So now that there influence doesn’t work they can’t get close to the prince anymore, what mean they can’t drug him too and that mean the prince can logically look at what happening around him and catch on the aristocrats plans. But, for all of that to happen tia needed to change. Because when she change she didn’t just change her fate, she change the prince fate too because in both life there fate was tied together.
Now he’s a different person just like how tia is a different person. And now that no one can get close, drug or control him he wouldn’t hurt tia.
You can go to the first chapters and see, even tia discredit herself as cold and emotionless.
I still can't understand Rauv's sudden change of heart. I mean Tia was always a smart and kind girl even before her time reversal (plus she even loved him back then). But all Rauv did was gave her loads of crap. The only difference is that, now, she doesn't like him and start expressing herself unlike her past self who always have to look dignified for the empress position. But inside, she's still the same intelligent and kind Tia(Plus the PTSD rauv gave lmao).
So why didn't the prince fall for charms in the past? I mean they met before he meet Juen. Not only that, how can he even have the heart to torture her.
I don't think I can trust the dude who got so blinded by a p***y that he can't see past all those misunderstandings.
