So what happens in the previous timeline: When Shuri breaks down in front of Jeremy during the funeral, he thinks she hates them and will leave them behind so he keeps his distance and acts cold. The other siblings follow suit. But then years pass and it turns out he severely misjudged her in her grievance, he tries to make up for it. Both he and his siblings try to make up for it be being kinder but since their relationship with her is so strained, she doesn't realize it. Some time passes and Jeremy falls in love with her (keep in mind that they're only 2 years apart here so it's not that weird on his end since he never really thought of her has his mother in the first tineline) when he notices how much she's sacrificed for him and his siblings. However, things come crashing down when Shuri suggests marrying Ohara (as per his father's will) and he gets shocked, angry, and hurt because the girl he (secretly) loves is ok with hadning him off to a different woman. He's bitter and ends up treating her even more coldly and says some really cruel things to her (without giving away why he's really angry leaving Shuri all confused...this is also why Shuri was so shocked over Jeremy's kindness in the current timeline as she's just not used to him being nice to her whatsoever). Jeremy eventually agrees to marry Ohara ease Shuri's worries and because he's given up on pursuing her for the better since it will only lead to bad things from society's perspective. However, Ohara who is completely enamored by Jeremy (it was love at first sight for her which is kinda weird and annoying because he's not kind to her either) quickly catches on to his secret feelings for Shuri and feels that her position as his future is threatened (for absolutely no reason because Shuri onlt thinks of Jeremy as a son/little brother and Jeremy has no plans on pursuing her as he's agreed to marry Ohara). Ohara's father easily manipulates her because he wants control over the family's money and realizes that Shuri is in the way since she's too smart/strong to manipulate and will not yield to him and his threat. He tells Ohara to spread rumors about Shuri and Jeremy being in an incestual relationship to create a scandal and weaken the repuation of their household in the aristocracy and when Elias (the second son/Jeremy's red-haired brother) hears the rumor, he foes batshit crazy and is disgusted because he really does think of Shuri as a mother figure. This causes a strain in his relationship with the rest of the family and eventually leads to a huge fight with Jeremy who just can't understand why he believes a rumor over his own brother's word. This was what Jeremy feared most and was the main reason he never confessed his feelings to Shuri. To clear up the rumors, they hastily announce Jeremy and Ohara's wedding and Ohara and her father are on cloud nince since everything is going their way. And guess what? Shuri's ex-husband (the late Marquess)'s stupid siblings are in on it. They're greedy for money and got manipulated by Ohara's father. Jeremy wants Shuri to attend the wedding no matter what because he and his siblings decided to apologize for treating her so cruelly up until now (and for believing the stupid rumors) on the day of the wedding and want to call her "mother" properly (like they're doing in the present storyline). Ohara, who has no idea what's really going on, is jealous that Jeremy want Shuri to attend the wedding despite the bad rumors she spread about them starts suspecting that there might actually be something going on between them and that they are going to elope on the day of the wedding (isn't it ironic that she fell into her own trap?) decides to secretly meet up with Shuri and lies to her about Jeremy not watning her there. This causes Jeremy to push back the wedding date everytime he finds out that Shuri has rejected the invitation from Ohara (he doesn't go in person because he thinks he'll be rejected even strongly) and Ohara's father and the previous Marquess's stupid siblings get fed up with the waiting and set up a trap (the first chapter) and hire a bandit to kill her when she sneaks out to attend the wedding. Jeremy agreed to the wedding because he was lied to that Shuri had agreed to come and was waiting for her and refused to do the vows before she showed up finds out from the guards that Shuri was killed in a tragic accident when bandits decided to attack her carriage. He and his siblings are heart-broken because this is the third time they've lost a parent figure. However, he's also the first to recover and immediately notices Ohara's shocked and scared expression (she thought Shuri was just going to run away and never return...she never though her father would order her to be killed) and he immediately realizes what happened. He lashes out on her and her father and his uncles and aunts and gets them all arrested but since Ohara was mostly innocent when it came to the actual murder, she gets pardoned. Some time passes, and Ohara tries to regain some stature by trying to marry Nora but of course it never works out because Nora's family was close to Shuri (I still have no idea why Nora and Shuri never met...but it does sound suspicious given that they ran in the same social circles and she was close to his father) but eventually she weasels her way into Elias's heart and of course, Jeremy (as the Marquess) never okays their relationship until he's forced to when Elias knocks her up. Things remain sour between the whole family after Shuri's death.

I still haven't found anything on the weird guy that kept staring at her in the meeting. He comes off as an impotant character for the plot later on but...maybe he's a webtoon only character? Since these spoilers are from the novel.

As for the current timeline: Shuri ends up with Nora. That is the most important thing. They end up havinf 2 kids and the oldest is named Michael. Jeremy ends up liking her again but of course doesn't seriously pursue her. Their relationship is already better than it ever was in the first timeline. Elias ends up with Ohara again bit apparently she's a good person now that she's manipulated by her father (who also ends up getting caught and punished). Rachel also gets married but I couldn't find out to whom (just that she gets married the same day Shuri and Nora do). I couldn't find much on Leon but I assume he's happy too. Overall, it has a happy ending and the story continue even after all the wedding bells stop ringing and we get to see some of the kids. Ohara and Elias end up having a daughter but I think Jeremy is still alone lol (poor guy got stuck in the same tragic love twice).



additional: so according to the last chapter of the novel, MC attends Jeremy's wedding. He gets married to a girl name Diane. MC marries Nora. Elias marries Ohara. Rachel marries some prince and became queen of some country. Leon is working for the empire.
