Obsessive Male Lead x Strong with a lot of Hatred Female Lead [7.85/10]

I'm very conflicted with this story.
The plot is this: female lead is hated by her family for "killing" her mother during birth. Everyone ignores her, so she tries to excell in something, that is swordmanship. The king makes her a knight, and promised her to be the sword, words that she took as someone finally recognizing her, when the thruth was another. The king made her part of an experiment and turned her into a sword for 400 years. She came back in time and tried to take revenge on the empire by being the tutor of the Ninth prince, who excelled in everything but lived a life in the shadows bc of the will of her mother. She tries to make him a tyrant, and succeeds. There is a rebellion, the king is tortured, and they live "happy" for a while. That is until someone said to her that she is the incarnation of the god of evil, and that she is bond to kill her lover since he is the most complete part of a god that has been torn into pieces. She scaped and the emperor (ML) turns crazy. He made everything to capture her, making a deal with the tower of magic (who took partition in the experiment) and also by making a promise of life to hear to help her succeed in her revenge. She stays. She and the emperor now are lovey-dovey. They discover that she is not the incarnation of the god of evil, but it was the "2nd ML" (that of 2nd doesn't have anything), and since he had lots of contact with the emperor, he has tarnished him and now is not a "pure" piece of the god, that turns him evil. The three of them then went to take revenge on the head of the magic tower, aka the first follower of the god of evil, since their plan of making the FL pass as that god failed. The three of them fall in a trap. Dylan is killed, the god of evil wakes up in Kahu, Charlize is numb, the god tries to give her a wish for all the things she passed in life, there is battle between the gods, the good god is "killed", there is a fight with the evil god, he is destroyed by killing kahu, the good god appears again since Liz protected the last piece of her, he revives the two of them while taking the life of the follower of evil, now everyone is happy. They have a son, and now the son is going to have the daughter of the follower as his future partner since they showed mercy to her.

Two things that i liked: the way the whole story, Charlize was guided by her revenge, and didn't want to stop even if that meant to use Dylan, who she had become fond of. The second thing is the obsession in Dylan's character. I'm a sucker for that, since he never laid a finger on her, but had those obsessive thoughts that made him questionable. He was made that way thanks to Charlize. Since she knew that boy was so bored by life, by being so perfect that no one could ever match him, she made everything possible to make him interested on her. Obviously that backfired, but i enjoyed the meticulous things she did to make him like that. Also loved how Dylan would do anything for her, how he changed even the location of the main city, the castle, to another place since there were so bad memories. The scene where Liz sit in his lap is also so so so incredible, the type of things i like since it shows how in love and obsessed he is with her, giving her everything he has, no matter what, without question.

Now, the things i didn't like. First, the way Kahu is portrayed. Not until the fucking last chapter he finally decided to let her go. He was in love with Liz since the beginning, he did everything to find her, and even risk his life for her. He is such an adorable and devoted man, that the fact that he kept suffering until the end felt like a freaking joke. That man deserved a lot better than to become the teacher of their son. This man deserved some vacations, and find his true love in another place or something, be away from there after all that happen. Everything lived his happy ever after ending while he was still stuck in his own feelings. He wasn't even a choice, man. He was just there to suffer, nor in his first nor second life he enjoyed his time there, and it made me mad since he is such a cute and angelic character. Another thing i didn't like is the fact that they had to forgive the descendant of the follower just to made them see as "good characters". I was with Dylan there, just killing her even if she didn't commit any crime. Why do authors like to marry the offspring of their trauma to the protagonist's son? it's something i will never understand, and makes me have complex feelings since at the end there shouldn't be any forgiveness, anything towards those who threatening their lives and made their lives a living hell. Another thing i didn't like is that neither the emperor, neither the head of the magic tower or the god of evil or the other followers truly suffer a fraction of what Liz did. It was everything so fast. And last one, she was going to give up everything just to revive Dylan, what i get it, it's the love of her life, obviously would do that, BUT, the entire plot was revolved around revenge and not minding who u hurt if that means the fall of the empire, to end with "love is the most important thing in the world", kinda lost it purpose there, but well, it doesn't really bothers me like the other things.

Anyway, what i did like too, is the fact that we could see the perspective of her family, and their own karma. Obviously they deserved the worst, and i would had like to see how her father was doing after seeing the tremendous dissapointment her wife showed him in the afterlife. I liked to see how complicated their feeling were, and the scene of them gifting her the flowers she is allergic too without knowing is still one of my favorite scenes, since u can really see the despise she have in them, and also the repentance in their faces by not knowing even the slightest thing of her. Anyways, karma.
Characters that i also liked besides an older and father Dylan, would be Kahu obviously, my protegee, the red haired girl that was always flirting with Liz, the main two knights of the order Liz created (oknhett or something like that), the blonde haired man that was part of the group of pieces of the god, he was so loyal to Liz that made him really likeable, and yeah that's all. Kahu i pray for ur hapiness, u are the character i feel sorry the most, u truly deserved better than all that </3
(Also i would have liked that her wish was to travel back in time, so she takes care of that follower first, and keeps Dylan again with her so he becomes the future emperor, and then she takes care too of the emperor, and tries to find a way to make Kahu not a living vessel and to make him forget everything about her so he can live happy with another person, and Liz and Dylan can be happy too without having that trauma again lol)
