Her bumbling through to make herself appear as a cutesy princess who needs protection is foiled again and again by none other than herself (it only worked on certain dense people...)
But even though I had a terrible first impression due to that title, seeing someone so cute yet is a nerd for games is so fun for me, especially since her princess act is a hit or miss and her inner thoughts and speculations are pretty funny.
My favorite part of this, however, is the art. Even a some of the mob characters are drawn well, but Ceslia herself, and the 3 guys around her, wooooo... I like this art style.

I thought it would be the usual cliche reincarnated story, but so far I'm really liking it! I'm looking forward to more, but there's a trend wherein japanese reincarnation stories are updated a lot, then it either takes ages for the next chapters/volumes or doesn't get updated again, just like...

>The Former Homewrecker and Flag-Crushing Crown Prince: Even After I Reincarnated, I Still Can't Avoid the Execution Ending?!
>I Will Go and Disappear Obediently
>On Her 94th Reincarnation, This Villainess Became the Heroine! (Same author as this...)
>The Silent Daughter of a Duke and the Cold Emperor ~ The Child I Found in My Past Life Became the Emperor ~

And there may be many more...
So now even with shiny new uploads like this I feel sceptical about how often it might update in the future...
At least let me see the part where he turns around and actually becomes a "doting husband" to her first, as cliche as that sounds!!

It felt like it had everything I wanted to know about it, and yet it didn't at the same time, as with a lot of oneshots. There's only so much ine can get from this; but I would prefer to read more, mostly to see where it goes. But from here, it is hinted that he was succesfully caught.

I must say though, the shifting of narrations confused me, until I figured out based on whose name was being said in the narration.

I don't know if the concubinage system is ok in here, it likely is; thinking back on all the stuff that went on in royalty back then, plus the reaction of everyone in here (and also considering that the mom is supposedly depicted as "kind" and "nice" when she could be seen as a person who wedged her way in a relationship, loveless or not - indeed, her being nice would then sound fake, like she is giving alms to the queen by asking him to give her his favor as well...) but when it comes down to it, it's the king's fault. From the illness of the mom, to the poison in the main character's body, to the jealousy of his wife. Considering what went on in the short while he's shown himself, he's a king without much of a backbone. Wishywashy, only thinking of what befits him, even when he deprives his daughter of her needs/orders his daughter's execution/sends her away. Maybe he does love her, but it feels so superficial.

It first reads like a Cinderella type story, but quickly diverges into its own plot.

The man is truly misanthropic, not someone who only claims to be or is someone who's mean for 2-3 chapters then changes his tune quickly. Indeed, it doesn't matter how much she suffered or what she dealt with, the only reason why he gives Excia special treatment is because of the dog, Hattie. Thankfully, the girl we're rooting for does manage to succeed so even if Glacie, the wizard, doesn't sympathize with her or aid her, (Just... I thought his eyes would soften a little bit and he'd try to sympathize a little... just a little, like, " I understand, but I can't help you." He just had to be really extra mean then, when she was scared and at her lowest point - although it did help push her to be stronger. And he IS a misanthrope. They explicitly put it in the title, and they did stay true to it. So, really, I can't say anything to complain, but... I CAN still feel sulky and a little bitter. I feel so bad for Excia. ) she managed to stand up and use her powers by herself.
The girl seemingly catches feelings for him rather quickly, so, currently, we are at a position wherein the girl has unrequited feelings for him, but the thing about having a similar soul as his departed beloved is definitely going to give complications. I don't know where this is going and I can't make predictions, but I do hope that this guy doesn't soften up NOW after finding this out. Just stay mean and cold, because it's going to be worse if he softens up to her because of this. I know that there's a high chance of them ending up liking each other, mainly it's the cover, but I hope that this new fact doesn't contribute to that - although it might.

I’m Sick And Tired Of his Childhood Friend’s, Now Ex-Girlfriend’s, Constant Abuse So I hope this will eventually get resolved. I hope the truth is learned not only so that Hanabi might lose some of her influence, but also because this will impact their futures, whether we like it or not. Otherwise, even after graduation, he'll be known as that guy, and it might even follow him in college and even his job hunting will be affected. His passive attitude may help, but something needs to be done eventually.
Also, I read from the spoilers somewhere a long time ago that Hanabi somehow gets off easy eventually in spite of all she's done? I get that justice doesn't always get served, even in fiction, but if this really is the case then please, at the very least, please don't let them be close to one another ever again. Not that happy friendship end between the two of them. She's gone out of her way to try to ruin people's lives and is highly unapologetic about it because she knows she can just get what she wants with a few cute poses and fake tears. If she had to deal with someone like herself, she would never find peace any more. (Now I'm kind of hoping she does, in the far, far future, as an adult: someone like her, but worse and more capable. Just to let her see how it's like to be on the receiving end of that.)

People may not like it, but I still hope there will still be updates. I mean, should it really end there? I want to know what happens next! I want to see the ending!

I read this a long, long time ago, back when it was first made available into this website. I remembered feeling excited over a new manga and then constantly feeling disappointed due to lack of updates. Still, hope didn't seem completely lost as it was updated once in a while - by that I mean once a year. Then... updates completely stopped. Along with a couple of manga at the time, it was a painful realization for me to learn that just because a manga is posted here, doesn't mean it'll constantly be updated until a series is finished. So many manga, even unpopular ones, left in the dust and fade into obscurity in favor of newer manga.
Going back here again, I guess it's the correct decision to not keep waiting and checking for an update, or expect much. Still, I'm going to take note of the name because I did like this once upon a time.

I see... but... what about her? She's not an immortal being. I get that maybe, since Haru is not reincarnated and doesn't die, maybe the Princess at one point turned into a man. But... as happy as it is that he's finally found the knight after decades and centuries, and they're once again in love and together, she's not like him. She's not invulnerable to aging or sickness. Considering how long it's been before she finally reincarnated again, it might be the same way next time.

Then again, maybe they'll be optimistic in the potential thought of meeting again and falling in love again.

Since it's fiction, and it's not addressed anymore, and I think the story has ended, I'll type down my own conjecture.
I think the reason why the ex girlfriend made it a point to say she was an ex, and also why she had to mention about the cutting hair bit, is because she felt bitter.
If she knew that, and deems that girl to be "not the true love" due to long hair, and knew he grew it due to that, then it's likely that she found that out as well, when he dated her.

I mean, I think anyone would be pretty bitter when a casual question about hair makes you realize that you're not the "true love" the other person is seeking.
She likely didn't want them to be happy and decided to strike the two vital points to hurriedly create a crack between them.

It's likely that the girl confessed, they dated under the pretext of possibility and whatnot (because who knows if this seemingly radiant true love of his childhood would even ever appear) but he never did cut his hair, or remove that bracelet that reminds him of her.

Still...
I think it'd be a little more concrete if we get to see the conversation between them when the girl had left, rather than just me making speculations.
I can only imagine him questioning her, and her getting mad about things.
Even if she did appear again, seeing how much he's changed for the "new girlfriend" is bound to rile her up - but I don't think she'll appear again. I imagine it went a little like this:

"What? I just wanted to introduce myself properly to her. She should know that you're the kind of person to cling to your first love like that while dating someone else. If anything, I'm doing the both of you a favor."

He probably didn't explain too much nor did they linger because he was not only able to catch up to the girl leaving, he also didn't cut his hair until it sprung into his mind when she appeared to linger on it.
