Anyone has the link to the novel? And spoiler:




































Be prepared, the seme is kinda an asshole. He's already in love with someone else (Nicolas, the uke's brother's lover). He only sees the uke as his sex friend and he doesn't remember the first time they met (when they first kissed). To him, he's only having sex with the uke because he was asked to by Nicolas. Therefore, basically he's having sex for himself n Nicolas, he doesn't really think much about the uke. Him beinh gentle is like his personality? Just think of a charming gentle character who acts caring but doesn't actually care or love you. This is all I know from a short review of the novel.

The uke also falls in love with the uke and later finds out abt the truth (he was about to confess his feeling then heard the seme's conversation where the seme kept stressing "we are only sex partners/ I'll keep being gentle to my sex partner till the deal end"). The seme is his first love

In the novel, it actually shows how Blondina is also very horny but thinks Amon is innocent and she doesn't want to take advantage of him and she's actually holding herself back a lot lol i wish they would show it here coz it feels a little one-sided in the webtoon. It makes for a hilarious story when you know both of them are misunderstanding each other but are both actually so horny for each other there's also a lot more R18 stuff in the novel that they toned down in the webtoon. For example, Amon was actually licking Blondina's ankle and leg very sexually in front of everyone and that's when the Prince and everyone else realized they might have some sort of relationship

Okay so I found spoilers and I’m dropping this lmao. Seunghyun is the epitome of shit.
SPOILERS BELOW










Jinha spoilers;

From what I read Jinha actually does love her he’s just yandere. In fact he’s the only one who deserves rights imo everyone else in the family is literal dog water. The grandfather is less trash but I still don’t really like him.









Plot spoilers:

Seunghyun sucks absolute fucking balls though. His family sucks and he was abused. At first they didn’t want him playing volleyball but then they suddenly got happy about it and he found out that is because him and Eunso would end up going to the same university if he continues to play volleyball and his family want them to get married. He actually likes her but he doesn’t want to get with her because he’ll be forced to take over the company.

So he starts doing all the shit that we’ve seen so far and provoking her and Jinha talking about how he was the one that Eunso liked first etc etc. So then when Eunso and Jinha actually start to like each other he doesn’t believe it until he sees them kissing. Then he gets mad and starts harassing her, going to her house, hugging her and touching her without her consent and all of that. Then one day Jinha and his family walk in on him hugging her and they ask what’s going on. Then Seunghyun claims that they were having an affair the whole time and that they should ask people at the university because they all know. Obviously Eunso and Cheri know that it isn’t true but there were already lots of rumours about Seunghyun and Eunso so most people went along with it. So Seunghyun’s parents say that Jinha and Eunso should break up because they only got married because she was forced to. Basically there’s a bunch of arguing and stuff and then the grandfather kicks them all out. On her way out Eunso tells Seunghyun that even if her and Jinha divorced she would never get with him and he tells her that he’s okay with it because he’s in her heart (spoiler: no he is not). Then as he drives back he attempts suicide and ends up in a coma.

His parents get angry and blame Eunso and say that everything is her fault. They don’t actually care about him they just want to push for a divorce so that she’ll be available again and even make up rumours of another affair. Eunso already hated him but his attempted suicide makes her hate him even more because it makes the affair rumours seem more credible.

Jinha’s parents ostracise her and the grandfather calls and asks them to divorce. Jinha gets mad at him and accuses the grandfather of using her as his doll and making her do whatever he wishes. Then the grandfather speaks to her by himself and tells hers that he regrets pushing her to marry and that he wants her to live for herself (this is the first time he calls her Eunso instead of Miss so she feels even more abandoned). She realises that he just wants to protect her from being abused by her “family”.

She tried to divorce Jinha but he pleads and cried and tells her to reconsider. She tells him that she doesn’t want to be absurd just because she loves him and she feels guilty that he was seperated from his family because of her (which is dumb because he never had much affection for them in the first place) and then they end up divorcing.

She moved abroad and finished studying in the US and she tells the grandfather and Jinha not to come to her graduation. (I’m surprised the grandfather is still alive considering everyone was rushing her to get pregnant because he had bad health or something). Jinha still comes and gives her a bouquet and tells her to take care of her health. They part ways and on the way to the airport she breaks down.

That’s where the spoilers end but they end up getting married again. This is just too much unnecessary drama for me I find it so uninteresting.

viche falls sick and then awakes a few days later and realizes its the day her dad was supposed to die so she runs out of the house and gets a carriage with duffry trying to save her dad, she sees assassins and then eventually jade saves them and they both realize they both went back in the past (btw jade went crazy after viche died in the first timeline so he turned back time somehow but the bad part is that he can die anytime due to the curse placed upon him) because of all that once they return to the manor, jade says his final byes to viche (she's crying because she's worried about him) and then he finally leaves with grand duke kaffman and a time skip happens to a few years later ++ tell me if u want any more spoilers

MAIN STORY SPOILER:
Princess Zelle was the eighth princess of Roymond, who reduced her presence so she won't be seen as a threat killed by her older siblings. Because of that, she avoided everyone of power and kept to herself. When Granor invaded her kingdom, she and her younger siblings fled to distract the enemies from her older siblings, the more powerful royal heirs. She was captured and woke up as a falcon.

She floundered around before becoming a messenger falcon of Valhail, the commander of the Roymond army and her 2nd sister's fiance. Because normal cavier falcon aren't smart, they keep getting captured by enemies. Valhail noted that Zelle seemed to be able to understand human speech and was initially suspicious, thinking that she is a spy. He started trusting her when she was injured on her first mission because the enemy wouldn't hurt their own spy. Zelle was a bit reckless because she prioritize the success of the army over her own life, which made Valhail mad a lot. She managed to figure out the map of the enemy's camp and was so well successful that the Granor called her the 'Eye of the Sky'.

Later, the Granor army claimed to have Zelle's body and threatened to kill her if the Roymond army attacks them. As the only known royal heir alive, Zelle is very precious to the Roymond army. Valhail managed to start a surprise attack, win the battle, and reclaim her body alive. However, they found that she was poisoned and would die in 30 days without an antidote. Bird Zelle got frustrated and bit her body on the neck, trying to wake herself up. Then Zelle flew off and was shot by poisoned darts after getting lured into a trap.

Zelle woke up as human again. Valhail started suspecting her to be a spy after she slipped a few times (she was supposed to in a coma ever since she was captured so she couldn't be aware of what's going on in the war). Eventually, it boiled to a point where Zelle admitted she was the bird and start quoting back the things Valhail said to the bird. Valhail was stunned, and while coming to terms with the truth, Zelle escaped. She was attacked by barbarians but was saved by Valhail, who admitted to believing her.
Spoiler: their reaction
[There is a lot of awkwardness afterward because Valhail remembered he was rude to the bird a lot and Zelle was embarrassed by her behavior as a bird (cozying up to Valhail because she wanted to survive. He even asked her if that was sincere or just for survival. Zelle answered that she was lonely as a bird and he was the only one who recognized her intellect )]

Zelle used her presence to boost the army's morale (the king and all his concubines are dead, along with many heirs). They continue to search for the remaining heirs (1st, 2nd, 4th, 9th, 10th). At one battle, they tried to divide the much larger Granor army. Zelle offered to be a bait, but was turned down by Valhail in favor of a fake bait. The battle was successful and the Granor retreated after taking a big loss. However, a Roymond assassin attacked Zelle, saying only the Eastern King should be the real ruler. Zelle suspected it was one of her siblings. She later strike up a friendship and alliance with Hilde, a politician from the East.
Spoiler: first kiss
[Their first kiss happened after the assassination attempt. Zelle was in shock after one of her maid shielded her and was stabbed (don't worry, she survives) and Valhail barely managed to save her in time (he also gave her a necklace before the battle, which somehow bought Zelle precious time against the assassin). Zelle was a little hysterical and said that she wanted to live. When Valhail reassured her that she was alive, she said she can't feel that she's alive (she's in shock) and he proved her wrong by kissing her. He later apologized for the disrespect and asked to be punished, but Zelle refused, saying she kissed him back too.]

Later, 4th prince was revealed to be alive. He claimed to have fought his way out of where he was imprisoned. Zelle was happy to see him until he later accused her of getting a good reputation and respect from the army by sleeping with Valhail and other higherups.
Spoiler: 4th Prince
[He was the firstborn son and the most favored child of the king. However, because he is younger than his siblings, they are ahead of him in line to the throne. He developed an inferiority complex and chose to buy and harass women who looks like his sisters. He even remarked that it was a shame his full-blood sister, the 3rd princess, was dead because she was the prettiest of all the royal heirs. Right after he said that, he said that Zelle was a lot prettier than he realized. ]

Valhail got really mad at 4th prince for insulting Zelle. During an argument in the Armory, Zelle scratch herself on a spear with a poisoned tip and fell unconscious. She woke up in her bird body, which had been in a coma due to the same poison. Valhail realized this when the bird showed up and he worried about her a lot, refusing to send her to the enemy's camp. (One of his soldier even asked him if he fell in love with a bird because he was seen treating bird Zelle so tenderly. I think it was at this time that Valhail first admitted to one of his soldier that he loves Zelle) Zelle met Adele, a lady from the west who was thought to be a nerd. Zelle discovered that Adele is a genius and is well educated with eastern history. Zelle gave her some messages she got from the Granor and Adele managed to decode them, which talked about how the Granor are worried about their food supply. Valhail learned of Adele's intelligence through Zelle and asked Adele to identify the poison and figure out a cure.

Adele found that the cure is the poison after being diluted. They awoken soldiers that were poisoned in battle, but Zelle wouldn't wake up. Valhail later took Zelle to the cliffs where crystal roses grew. He told her that she should live her life however she want and he would support her. (Even during the war, Zelle didn't want to throw her presence around too much because she was afraid that her older sisters might kill her after the war is over and Valhail realized that) Zelle realized that she like him. Later, Zelle, in her bird body, participated in the war by gathering a bunch of birds and targeting the enemies' layout (they just followed her for some reason, which surprised her and she used it to her advantage) Adele figured out that both blood and poison were involved. She also figured out the history of Zelle's ancestor, who was said to have golden blood and shared that blood with cavier falcon and Zelle realize that could be the answer to why she can wake up in a cavier falcon's body. Zelle woke up after the new cure was administered.

After Adele met Zelle in her human body (she doesn't know Zelle is the bird, only Valhail and two of her maids, including the one that was stabbed, knows), she praised Zelle a lot because she found out through her investigation that Zelle faked a letter pretending to be 1st princess to save grain harvest from a typhoon and saved a lot of people from starvation a few years ago. Zelle was embarrassed because forging letter is a crime and she was trying to keep a low profile to stay alive. Later, rumors of how Zelle saved the grain supply spread though the people of Roymond. The Roymond army won the battle and reclaim Roymond's castle from the Granor. Zelle threw a banquet to celebrate. Granor sent a message asking to end the war.

Later, they found out the rumors about the 4th prince was true and Zelle thought that she must stop him from taking the throne. At the banquet, Valhail's people came and reveal that 4th prince did not fought his way to freedom, but his mother bought him with the lives of 200 Roymond people. A lot of people were angry. Valhail fought with 4th prince and mocked him for his perverse taste toward women who resembles his sisters, humiliating 4th prince in the battle to avenge the victims.

Not long after, 4th prince was found dead, having been killed brutally. In addition, her 2nd sister showed up now that the war has ended with soldiers of her own. She admitted to starting the war with Granor to get rid of 1st princess, but Granor betrayed her. She was the one who was bought out of prison with the lives of 200 Roymond people, but framed the shame on 4th prince. She was the true Eastern King (Her initials were the anagram for Eastern King. Zelle thought it was either 4th, 9th, or 10th because their maternal family are from the East) Zelle tried to run away with Valhail but surrendered after 2nd Princess threatened to kill Zelle's maids. She then imprisoned Zelle, trying to marry her off to Adele's brother, who was on 2nd Princess's side. But to do that, 2nd Princess must ascend the throne to gain the authority for that.

One of Zelle's maid slipped her the poison to putting her soul in the bird's body. Zelle took it, trying to help Valhail find evidence of 2nd Princess's crime. 2nd Princess killed off two of her own men who could be important witnesses, disheartening Zelle for failing. 2nd Princess was also annoyed with Valhail because he was her fiance but he asked to broke off his engagement and even fell in love with Zelle. Zelle pricked herself with a poisoned spear, waking up as a human again. At the coronation, Valhail's men broke in with evidence of 2nd Princess's crimes and the witness is - surprise - Adele's brother who 2nd princess is trying to marry Zelle to. (Earlier, Zelle accused him of wanting to possess her more than actually loving her, or he wouldn't have let 2nd princess imprison her) Most of the soldiers did not know of 2nd Princess' treason and served her because she was now first in line to the throne with the death of 1st Princess. Valhail's private army is loyal only to Zelle because Valhail swore an oath of loyalty to Zelle during the war and his army only obey the owner of the necklace, which Valhail gave to Zelle.

The 2nd Princess is carried away, screaming at Zelle the whole time, blaming her for everything. With no other heirs, Zelle took the throne and became Empress. She went to look for her bird body, hoping to cure the poison for good and find a way for the bird to live its own life (which might be impossible because it only contain Zelle's soul. When Zelle is in her human body, the bird is unconscious), only to find that the bird had died not too long ago, after Zelle was crowned. Valhail said that the war was too harsh on the bird's body in addition to the poisoning. They buried the body and erected a monument at its burial.


SIDE STORY:
Valhail asked her when she fell in love with him, Zelle replied that it was when he took her to see the crystal roses, so Valhail later proposed to her surrounded by crystal roses. They got married and got a son really quickly. First prince is Russellzen (Regen). Second prince, four years younger, is Kargale. Third princess, ten years younger than Russellzen, is Artiel. Artiel is doted on the most. When Russellzen was 15, the young emperor Recalius of the Belott empire (age 8) greeted them and must have made a mistake, because Artiel scolded him loudly. Amusingly, Recalius seemed to fell in love with Artiel, which made Russellzen and Kargale really protective. Recalius later start learning martial art from Valhail.

I think that's the gist of everything

.
.
.
.

i remember reading this spoiler but i forgot keke- why did she get mad at dylan for killing the emperor again?? and how does she actually fall for him eventually??? (happy ending?)
spoil me pls thankiez hehe

I will go over the major characters in the novel, their main events, feelings, etc.
---- For a quick refresher, the MC/FL's real name is Elena, who is currently pretending to be Veronica, the grand Duke's daughter, and is also disguising herself as Lucia, the brown haired girl.
--Elena
On top of those two other identities that she is pretending to be, she also has another one. I don't remember if this was ever bought up in the Webtoon currently, but she has an alias called 'L' (nice Death Note reference) where 'L' becomes a successful salon owner providing various forms of entertainment with the masters of the 'new era' (Raphael is one of them). As 'L', she purchases property and basically fucks up the market for the grand duke, causing him large amounts of financial losses. The grand duke was also trying to build a competitive entertainment district called Noblesse street but her salon is much more successful thanks to the presence of the grand masters.

Elena reveals herself and her motives to several people earlier in the story than you'd might think. She pretty much just straight up tells a number of trustworthy people, such as her knight Hurelbard and her maid, May. Raphael, the painter, finds out on his own that the brown-haired girl is actually Veronica when Elena shows up to an event as Veronica and he recognizes her, and much later is told by Elena herself that she is a fake Veronica. The crown prince also pretty much finds out on his own that Lucia = Veronica due to him recognizing her. Both of these characters do not confront her about this since they didn't want to make her uncomfortable by questioning her, but they are later told by Elena herself about her identity.

--Ren
Ren currently seems like a bully in the webtoon but he'll later develop feelings for Elena. He is actually pretty smart, he figures out that Lucia is Veronica all on his own before anyone else by following Lucia to the library and finding out that Lucia is just a disguise. He also learns that the current Veronica is a fake and that the real one is somewhere else, awake. He confesses much later in the story that he was the one who poisoned the real Veronica.

I consider Ren to be one of her most important allies thanks to his knowledge on the ducal family and physical strength. Ren tells Elena that within three months, she must somehow escape the ducal house as the real Veronica has woken up (3 years earlier than Elena expected) and Elena will be killed when that time comes. More importantly, Ren has protected Elena on numerous occasions, particularly during her escape from the ducal house, she is chased after by knights and Ren shows up to get rid of them all and lets her run away. After she runs away, he even imitates the sword style of another (missing) knight from another ducal family to drive the blame somewhere else. In another instance, he nearly dies protecting Elena from an arrow and is unconscious for several days because of it.

--Crown Prince Sian
Since there have been multiple spoilers on him, I will keep this one short. He is also another important ally to Elena, and has incredible sword skills (ends up defeating Ren in a competition). He works with Elena to take down the grand Duke's illegal opium business, which made up 30% of his income, effectively further ruining the Duke's financial situation. His relationship with Cecilia is nothing special. Cecilia herself requested that she did not want to marry him and Sian understandably agrees.

--Leabrick
Despite her being an antagonist I do actually like her. She is incredibly smart but is ultimately bested by Elena and thrown out by the duke and held captive in a jail cell, going insane near the end as she bashes her head against a wall or something of the sort, and dies. I feel like she'd would be very likeable had she been an ally in the story. Near her downfall, she realizes Elena's true personality but it is too late for her.

-- Real Veronica
The real Veronica wakes up 3 years earlier than the previous timeline. She is literally a psychopath, (described literally as a "crazy bitch" by Ren), but not a very smart one. She is first introduced in an intimidating manner and will not hesitate to do whatever it takes to get what she wants by whatever means. But this is where she fails since she usually resorts to killing her enemies if things don't go her way. She might give off the impression that she is intelligent at first but then you quickly realize she is just incredibly arrogant, narcissistic, and believes the world revolves around her, making her childish as a result. She doesn't come up with any cunning plans like Leabrick. She also doesn't really have any romantic feelings towards Sian, she just wants him as she thinks that he is the only man with the status and blood that is befitting for her, but she did state the she "personally liked him" However, she doesn't hold any lingering attachments towards him and immediately hates him and wants him dead after Sian threatens her for trying to harm Elena (Veronica was trying to have Elena and the salon visiters, which is well over 100 people, to die in a mass poisoning, by having their wine poisoned. Sian notices this, tells Elena and offers to supply the wine in the name of the royal family since other wine suppliers might be bribed by Veronica).

Veronica is also pretty jealous of 'L' and her success and tries to compete with her but fails miserably. When 'L' reveals herself to be Elena, Veronica is enraged that her substitute of low status is more successful than her.

--Grand Duke
The duke is the final boss of the story. It is revealed that he is very intelligent and wants to maintain or gain more power. After his financial ruin he attempts to gain his power back by absorbing the Bastache house (Ren's house). Since the head of the Bastache family is the duke's little brother, he even captures the head and mentally tortures and brainwashes him into handing the house over to him. The head dies when Ren meets up with him.

The emperor, in a last effort to help out his son Sian, refuses to authorize the handing over of the Bastache family to the grand duke. When this happens, the duke resorts to force, and storms the palace with his knights and tries to force the emperor to sign a contract or something. The emperor, kills himself to prevent the duke from being able to do so. (Recall the royal family is basically useless and the grand duke holds the most power over them, so they cannot outright challenge the duke). The duke and his army make way towards the Bastache house after taking the dead king's fingerprint for the contract. He actually turns out to be really strong. Ren, Sian, and Hurelbard (Elena's guard), the three best swordsman of the empire had to work together and team up against the duke to take him down. The duke is killed and Veronica is thrown in jail to be executed. At the end of the story, Veronica is executed, but never feels any remorse and just continues to hate Elena and curses her until her death.

--Overall
The novel is completely translated, and is over 200 chapters long. I have already posted a link in an earlier comment I made answering any spoiler questions. If you want to start reading from where the webtoon is on, I think it is chapter 47. I know this is literally an essay but school has finished for me and I am bored. If anyone actually read this whole summary, thank you.

I’ve read ahead on the raws and here’s just a few things if anyone’s interested. Will update as more chapters come up I’m at 30+ chaps in rn
.
.
.
1. Louis slept with the Crown Prince that night, the child is also the Crown Prince’s. The Crown Prince was wearing a red wig to the masquerade, hence why it then appears that the guy he went into the motel with was red haired — Louis reasons that this appearance could be due to poor lighting, which caused the person who saw them to mistake the brown hair of the Duke to be red.
- on the night of, the Duke confesses to Louis and then told him to wait for him. Meanwhile the crown prince’s carriage passes by (with his date from the ball, who he promptly ditches) and he spots Louis; Louis got on the carriage with the prince and essentially they end up sleeping together
- the Prince notes that while having drank alcohol, Louis does not appear to be intoxicated and presumes that Louis knows it is him he is sleeping with. Louis and the Prince are both well acquainted since their youth, and so the Prince leaves the note to call him (without leaving a number or name) — but when Louis fails to do so after, he gets upset and does not contact him in the next 4 months
- Louis decides to keep the child after he keeps having dreams of the dragon. The prince finds out about the pregnancy, but multiple misunderstandings occur: both of them mistakenly believe the child is the duke’s, the prince finds out about Louis’s initial plan to get rid of the child and agrees with it thinking its the Duke’s child etc.
.
2. The Crown prince has been harboring a crush on Louis since their time together as youths in the training academy.
Louis is the white rabbit that the prince talks about, if that isn’t clear enough
.
3. The Duke is possibly behind both the murderer and the drugging Louis 4 months ago. But this is just my conjecture at this point.
- mentioned above, Louis doesn’t appear drunk but has no recollection of the events. The situation came about only after he was speaking to the Duke.
- He meets the Duke at his estate at a later point to reject his advanced, to see him covered in blood. The Duke’s excuse is that he killed a deer — Louis wonders what large deer needs him to personally kill it, and is instantly suspicious asking to see the deer itself, but the Duke claims the hunt was too poor to be shown to Louis. He eventually shows a bloodied deer to Louis in the dungeons, who promptly feels nauseous at the sight. Nothing concrete but suspicious nonetheless.
- in that same visit both his butler and the duke himself offer Louis tea multiple times; Louis appears to take a sip but doesn’t (due to his morning sickness), and when the Duke is rejected, he seems to appear to try to compel Louis into staying — at which point Louis is saved by a a command from the Crown Prince to return to the palace.

Since I wrote this as a reply to a comment, might as well share for others. How did it get this long? Σ( ￣□￣||) HUGE SPOILER (READ AT OWN RISK!):










So basically this is a story about reincarnation. Long ago there are 3 Children of God (children who are loved and blessed by God). 1st child who killed his lover. 2nd child who killed her son. 3rd child who killed his parents. Because of their sin, all 3 were cursed by God to reincarnate with dark mana (or dark magic within) and remember their past lives. Once they remember their lives, they will repeat their sins. 1st child will fall in love, remember his lover and kill his lover again. 2nd child will love her child, remember her past and kill her child. 3rd will do the same for his parents. They repeat countless reincarnation like this, basically living in torment for their guilt by killing their loved ones. As you can guess, the 2nd child is our MC Aisha (I think she's the great saintess from 500 years ago who was said will be reborn again), and Abel is the soul of her child she will end up killing if she ever remembers her past due to the curse. The medication MC is taking (as seen in the webtoon) is given to suppress her power and memory so she wouldn't remember. The one supplying this medication is a priest from the temple name Mikhail/Michael (?), who is the 1st cursed child of God. And as may suspect, our MC is his past lover. Michael is planning to kill MC before he falls in love with her again so that he won't suffer the pain of killing a loved one again. The reason why MC killed her child long ago was bcuz her child was in pain/sick and she couldn't help bear to watch him suffer, so to end her child's pain, she killed him. As for the 1st child of God, he himself couldn't remember why he killed his own lover. The 3rd child of God however, watching the 2 suffer from their sins, he tried to break the curse by killing the God himself but he didn't succeed (and ended up getting cursed too, with killing a parent curse). The 3rd child of God was the most favoured and he has the power to Procreate/Create life, so he ended up creating the world for the 2 other child of God hoping for them to break the curse so they all can be free (so basically the 3rd child is the author of the book MC read).


Our poor MC will start stopping taking her medication and that's when her power and memory slowly coming back (she had both black magic and white magic in her body). That's when she realize that she will end up killing Abel if this goes on. She will want to break their engagement and ask ML to kill her bcuz she couldn't kill herself as the curse will rebound any effort of self mutilation. Oh and also she was Janes (in her past life before she dies and got reincarnated and transmigrated into current body, Aisha), the person who guided ML to save the then orphaned Abel. MC as Janes, pleaded to ML to take good care of Abel and for him to promise her to kill anyone who will come to him in the future saying that they remembered their past lives. And ML promised Janes.


And in the current timeline, after MC remembers this, she asks ML to uphold that promise. ML is totally livid and their conversation is so heart breaking. ML refused, but MC said that with the curse she won't be able to stop herself from killing Abel, and she kept apologizing to ML for dragging him into this mess of a fate. She also said that now she had black magic, she could even control ML's mind (as black magic can brainwash people) if she wants (kind of hinting she might command him to kill her using that method if he continues to refuse), but ML kept refusing and hoping they find a way to break the curse together. ╥﹏╥

Anyway, since the spoiler is incomplete and I don't have all the details, some things happened and it's happy ending! They managed to break the curse and finally all three children of God can live in peace. MC and ML got to have their happy ending with Abel, creating a happy family.

This was the full spoiler I found in Novelupdates. I had to search for it because of all the spoiler post.

(Post from novelupdates)

I remember reading the novel way back, and there are alot of dirty witty jokes about the emperor’s stamina in bed etc. lol but the most memorable scene was when the Empress & Emperor finally confessed their feelings and was acting lovey dovey when suddenly there was a messenger saying concubine Lin had an illness and the Emperor had to leave...

Then just before the ML left for Lin’s place, the MC asked him to stay with her because she just had this feeling that something bad was going to happen  though the ML still left the empress to see Lin but Lin was all fine, just wanted to eat something together lol so the ML asked Lin did you fake the illness you never did this before etc. While they were still talking and taking their sweet time together a messenger came rushing and told the empress was kidnapped from her place by some assassins...

Then the emperor rushes to the MC’s palace, only to see everything in disarray and calls for a horse to go look for her while everyone was discouraging him saying it was dangerous. He goes after the empress and finally finds her but she is bleeding and he was crying and shaking her body really hard repeating “Empress wake up/say something...” and he loses MC to the assassins somehow again (? I don’t really remember the details) and he cries hard recalling the MC’s last words “can’t you stay with me because I have a bad feeling something bad is going to happen”

The MC was nowhere to be found for 2 years and during that time the ML turns into tyrannical king and everyone says it is due to the death of the empress. The ML finally fell in love with her, only to lose the MC so quickly afterwards so he was devastated. She comes back after 2 years with a new identity and in the end, they end up together.

(And this one was the one that was already posted here)

After the empress’ death, the MC goes back to her original body (she actually knew she had to leave the empress’ body that day but so she asked the emperor to stay with her which became a huge trauma to the ML) and after two years she goes back to the palace disguised as a male escort/bodyguard due to political shenanigans. The MC was actually summoned for a reason, and it involves this radical group founded by the Ryeokuk’s royals who wants to assasinate the emperor.

MC felt somewhat attached to the group though she enters the imperial palace and wants to protect the emperor seeing how the ML blames himself hard for everything and turned into someone completely different. The ML also left the empress’ place exactly as it was before, and gave out harsh punishments for everything involving the ‘late’ empress. The story kind of turns into a ‘BL’ romance as naturally the ML is reminded of his one true love-the empress from the MC’s expressions/habits when she starts working as the emperor’s escort and falls in love. ML admits his feeling for the new MC pretty early on, even though he is a ‘male’ escort/bodyguard, because he really regretted losing the empress without admitting his feelings. The ML even gets jealous saying you should be my man even in front of beautiful women lol and that causes Gong Lin to panic again and she tries the frame the MC, and even going as far as recreating the bloody ML’s trauma by harming herself and then copying the last words of the empress to hold onto the ML (which is pretty messed up imo).

MC felt angry about that incident and tried to tell him the truth, asking what if the empress is not dead but just hiding herself due to circumstances...but the ML reacted pretty voilently and storms out to go see his concubine. MC was disappointed because it reminded her of her last day - even when it is extremely important, he always chooses Gong Lin. So MC starts acting cold to the ML, refusing the snacks he orders for her, not meeting his eyes, and trying to avoid eating together etc. ML was scared that he hurt the MC, and he didn’t want to lose ‘him’ too so he asked why he was mad and he will try to fix whatever it is which surprised MC since he would have never done this before with the empress. ML even confesses that he is in an unrequited love with him in front of everyone, and tries his best.

That’s why when it was revealed MC is part of the infamous group that abducted the empress, it hurt him pretty bad as he thought she approached him on purpose and how he really fell in love with the person who killed the one he loved the most. While in prison, she tries to say she was trying to protect the emperor all along, but the ML was very conflicted with his guilt for the empress. Then when MC is alone with Hoon, she confesses her real identity considering her group obviously abandoned her and left her to die, and to prove it she recounts how they met the first time, with the intruder and the stone... The prison guard listening their conversation was member of the group, so the guard murders the MC while Hoon and the emperor was on their way to the prison. ML sees another bloody gory dead MC, a repeat of his worst nightmare, is shook to the core for the second time.

Fortunately, MC goes back to the empress’ body and a lot of political stuff about this prophecy about her and how she will rid of this group from Ryeokuk. She is given three choices including one where she goes back to her original world and forgets everything. But MC chooses to stay with the emperor and goes to the palace and meets the ML. He couldn’t believe his eyes and kept asking Hoon if he was seeing a ghost and is over the moon when the MC comes back in the empress’ body. Then she teases him saying I heard you were having an affair while I was gone and then kind of explains all the prophecy/politics to him. She couldn’t come back officially due to the threats from the group and the ML wanted to kill all the people involved in the group right away, but MC persuades him to wait to avoid shedding innocent blood and work to eliminate all the discrimination against Ryeokuk people which was the root of all this. The stubborn emperor couldn’t even believe himself that he actually listened to her and puts out an edict while she is sleeping. The book ends with the emperor kissing the sleeping MC saying I can endure everything for you (or something similar) with tears.
