SPOILERS about ML below
but honestly rather than the ML i'm most bothered by her saying she wants to "separate" or "lay low and live in peace" like all those other villainesses but turns out like them and does the opposite. A failed expectation, I wanted MC to be different.

Just found out the jerk isn't ML, it's the white haired kid MC saved. The jerk is gonna come visit MC soon and see the ML(white hair kid) and think that's who MC was talking about when she said she had someone she loved(her excuse she used)
...I know the necklace is a safety net for her, what i was ranting about was that she should've tried to search for it herself, use her own means and her own people. Asking the duke should've been the last choice if she really wanted to sever their relationship and stay away from him. It's a contradictory action to her words. You can argue that she wanted to find it as quick as possible which is why she asked for help but she's honestly not in super need of it right now as the plot's events haven't started much yet. She also already knows some of the dangerous events and happenings, if she's smart she can completely avoid them. While staying away from the story main characters as events only circulate focusing the main characters.
Well... I’m fine as long as she doesn’t end up with him and I’m glad he’s not the ml. I’ve read a lot of these at this point and I’m just looking forward to the future chapters and I’m interested in the fact that she’s gonna help the heroine(judging by the prologue) maybe it’ll be a situation where the heroine throws away that useless original ml and emerges as the queen(which the kingdom hasn’t had for a long time) with the help of the MC.
Anyone else kinda annoyed with the MC? So far I think she's kinda hypocritical? She not very determined in her goal imho. It's a classic cliche, MC reincarnated as a villaness swears she'll escape and run away from the story characters but befriends them all and falls in love with the story ML. I guess I just expected something different from MC so it was disappointing to find out she's the same as the other villainesses. There's nothing wrong with that storyline but maybe i'm just sick of it which is why I find MC not that great. The original villainess was treated badly by him, ignored, hated, and humiliated(bringing the FL to the ball when he'd ignored her invitations the whole time). I just wish the ML would be someone else! So it annoys me that MC is going to fall for him. She said she'd stay away from ML and writing a letter to anul their engagement was a good way to break it off(if you don't consider the consequences of her breaking off a political marriage without telling the king) but why accept the meeting with the ML? Doesn't she want to avoid him? Yeah you can say she has to meet him to anul it but why doesn't she make it clear to him that she's not interested in him at all? Despite her efforts to tell him she has someone else she loves, when he mentions marriage preparations she immediately gives up and allows him to continue thinking that this is just a tatic to earn his interest. Ok, that's fine she can ignore him and avoid him until he meets the story FL. But then why the heck would she ask him to find the necklace for her?? Again didn't she want to avoid him?? Instead she's now taking the initiative to reach out to him, owes him a favor, and has to continuously interact with him in the future. She can't avoid him anymore due to them now having a relationship. She has knowledge of the book plot, she can rethink through the details for info. She has power, she can order for ppl to look for the necklace. Her maid Marion seems capable, she can order for it to be done in secrecy. There's no reason to look for the ML. I don't get what's going through her head, why all these complicated plans? Why make things harder? She says she needs money to escape and to lay low. But she's not lacking money or power?? If she truly wants to avoid the characters, she has enough power as a princess. As for money, she has it, she can slowly transfer money to a safe place(after finding one) for her use. Maybe under the guise of buying jewels and dresses. The more she interacts with characters, build relationships, change story events, and get involved with the kingdom, the harder it'll be to run away
