Yeah I’ve been trying to figure that out too. Why did they need her? Someone pointed out an interesting theory saying that they had the MC do all this so that the real daughter could just be lazy and not handle all the hard work. But if that’s the case, why not say that in the initial agreement? Why hide it from the MC did they just want to torture some random girl for no reason?
I think its because the father/daughter knew they couldn't trick the prince into loving her. The fake Veronica laid ALL the ground work and with no proof the real Veronica can take all the gain that the fake made for her....
Just a guess though.
that way she was do as they asked with no guilt that they would be switched out later...
Like if a random man came to you even though your life was happy (cus we all know he's the one who killed her fam) and told her to trick the prince then give her spot to the real Veronica she would feel guilty (since she's a good girl) and would have given up the plan.
Some spoilers about 1st life that I've read from others. P.S. This might be long.

So the prince was married to the crown princess Cecilia by political marriage so no romantic feelings between them. Then the emperor (crown prince's father) health is deteriorating so they needed a concubine. The crown prince refused at first but due to pressure of nobles and even Cecilia's father, he eventually agreed. There were 2 candidates for concubines which is veronica and another one, but eventually veronica was the chosen concubine. So Cecilia will become the Empress, and Veronica will be the Queen. Veronica was then poisoned ( I dont know why or who did it), but there was no antidote to it, the only solution for it, was to let the poison pass throughout her coma. So they needed a substitute for Veronica, which was Elena. But then Elena was a very great concubine (in affairs and everything), so they continued Elena pretending as Veronica. Eventually the prince fell in love with the new Veronica (which is Elena), thats why they had a baby. But in order to protect new veronica (Elena), the prince was cold to her in front of the nobles, but behind the nobles sight he loved her so much. He did this to protect the baby and new veronica (Elena), to the point that he built a secret place in the palace for her. Now, the only way new veronica(elena) can survive all these events after, is to escape the palace unnoticed. The prince then was worked so hard to prepare and plan for her escape. Eventually the baby was born. Throughout all these, New Veronica (Elena) didnt understand why he was cold towards her and the baby. She was hurt so much from the prince's action. He wanted to confess to her, but then it was too late already. The real veronica recovered and now replaced Elena. Real Veronica now imprisoned Elena in the palace for some time and was then killed. When he heard the news, he went to the prison and hugged Elena's body and kept saying I'm sorry. Also, throughout the story, at first the prince didnt know that the real veronica was replaced. He just then noticed slowly that the personality of new veronica (Elena) was changed and that he's already falling in love with the new veronica (Elena). And at the end of first timeline, when asked about the events that Elena encountered, the family of real veronica used the excuse of amnesia. I dont know about the second life though. All I know in second life is thaVt the prince didnt marry Cecilia and reserved the slot of crown princess for Elena.
Bruh I'm bRoken
(but still he was dumb oof but the way you say it sjjdrjfk I'll forgive him)
Okay I teared up a bit at that.
ok i'll let him go,,,
That touched my heart ┗( T﹏T )┛I cant wait for the crown prince to enter the manhwa
Same. I think the author will redeem the crown prince this lifetime. (●'◡'●)ﾉ
omg thank you for the spoiler
hope they're happy in this new timeline....HOPE HE'S THE ML STILL
He is still the ML (⌒▽⌒)
Thank you ;-;
After reading this, now I get why the prince was trembling before saying that Elena (aka fake veronica) was his mistake. Because he was probably holding back his emotions or something
oh wow...this had me bad but then again...dude ends up with our girl once again, hopefully this time the baby will live and that VERCIA BITCH WHATEVER HER NAME IS AND HER FATHER, ALONG WITH THAT DAMN WOMAN WHO IS A FUCKING HAWK ON OUR GIRL, THE KNIGHT DUDE (the bad one, not our cute boy) AND THAT MAID WHO FUCKING PLAYED OUR GIRL IN HER 1ST LIFE- TO HELL WITH ALL OF THEM !!!
Ok so I thought she faked her death bc they found out she was infertile and then when she had the baby they killed her bc shes no longer needed but thats not the case bc she said them I'll have my baby and send yours to you. So what was the fucking point.
