"I feel bad for her first husband, he deserves better!!" bla bla
Feel bad for him? As if Aster's mother didn't HELP him to get the best ending he could ever wish for on the 2nd timeline...
And about the 1st timeline think about it...He already had another woman in his heart who he supposedly cared dearly for but he was weak hearted enough that he couldn't even protect her and their child (she was pregnant) from his mother...Which was what made them break up & his mother have the girl abord the baby...After that he had a marriage of convinience with Aster's mother...He was someone with an inferiority complex himself which was mentioned...Not just FL deciding on her own to wear flats...So it goes both ways...Also y'all saying he was nice to her but his mother still kept tormenting her and getting in their family matters but he never took sides and tried to "stay neutral" which I believe is enough reason to create issues...Even in today's society this occurs and causes rifts in marriages let alone back then...The fact that Aster their own child hated how her mother was treated while growing up, to the point of using magic to make her go back in time and give her a 2nd chance says a lot idk what to tell you...Plus we never got too much details about their marriage life anyway...Sure compared to other isekai Manhwa he is far from a villain, like FL said he never drunk, used violence etc. but these instances they had in their relationship, though not painful enough they can still end up killing a marriage slowly...In the end they both were wed out of convinience, treated eo with respect while trying to run a family even with their shortcomings... But here is the thing...When you love someone you can often oversee them and easily try and mend the relationship...Yet without it a wedding is doomed to fail like it did!! So instead of trying to point the blame on either of them just try to see both sides and their flaws... This is one of the things I LOVED about this Manhwa!! It's raw and authentic feel!!
Also about some others mentioning about her strunging along the Husband or being obsessed with wanting to being back her daughter...think about it...
FL was suddenly sent back in time losing the only person she ever loved in her 1st timeline (her daughter) so struggling to get her back is not surprising in the least especially since she never "hated" her first life. Even though she died quite into her older years, she never learned what it feels like to be loved romantically. She lived her life in that toxic environment where she was downright psychologically abused by her inlaws and ignored by her Husband who was mostly absent when needed his support. In all that despair her daughter was the only solace and sense of fulfilment and happiness.
And when she came back, she only started to befriend ML without any other thoughts. She didn't have the intentions of getting into a relationship with him, they both gradually & naturally close to eo. I too felt quite frustrated at how she kept rejecting him, but to the FL her daughter was someone who had shown her love and her maternal affection also can't be ignored. Everything about love and the ML was new to her which is why it took such a long time for her to make her choice and move on!
This has been such a good read fr and I really wish we could get a season 2!! But even if we don't I would still be satisfied with the current ending (maybe some side stories instead could do the trick ><)
Also I am tuned in to this author's future works for sure ~

My fav is little mushroom
I was really expecting and hoping to see more of Aster's 3rd life with her future husband and her life in general but at the same time I can also understand that the author might have thought it would get tiring (personally I could read another 20 extra side stories of this idc). But the ending TRULY struck a cord in me ╥﹏╥ Skipping all the way to after Aster's and their parents departure and only the little bro left... Also her completing the time magic formula and leaving it as a gift of 2nd chance to her bro was so sweet and heartbreaking at the same time... But what truly struck me were the flash backs AND the fact that he ended up never using it cause thanks to his parents and sister's love and care he ended growing up happily with little to no regrets in his life!! Unlike his mother's and sister's past life experiences! This is truly a Master piece!
So his son kept sending the side chicks each time FL was summoned for the deed and the 2 also formed a misunderstanding with each other thanks to this, thinking the other was into peeking only lmaooo The son is a master level manipulator... No joke haha I am interested to see what will happen now tho...Since they seem to have finally realized some of the truth lol And the father blushing like that...Seems to really like her... How will the son overcome this? ><
When is Season 3 starting? It was just getting to the good part omg!! This Mafia/Agent Manhwa is defenitely one of the best!!
This author really never dissapointed me in this story and the plot as a whole feels like a fresh breath of air!! I am glad they kept her previous life brother as her friend and that all 3 of them look close like siblings!! Also we got to learn more about how Aster feels about her past life father and life... I am glad to see she is slowly coming to terms with it!! And last but not least I am very excited to see how her and Killians's (I suppose he is her past life Husband) story will go from here and how it used to be in the past!! So interesting ><
The ending was so lovely!! I really LOVE how the author handled everything in the end and the ML's relationship with his son... Usually some authors will go ahead and create a childish rivalrly between the kid & the ML for the FL's attention or make the ML someone who is stoic and unfeeling & can only show warmth to the FL... Which I find unrealistic and unhealthy since this is their child and seed of love after all... So I love how that has been handled and also I love the characters overal growth through out the story!! This was a nice read!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! ISTG it's the downfall of every child ending plot I've read and I can't help but have a 'what in the all living hell is this?' moment when it does. It pains me （/TДT)/ like you've stated it doesn't make sense!! It's the fruit of their love
You are welcome lol I also fall "victim" quite often to such endings... Like the plot is going great and the characters development is on point only for the author to ruin the ending the moment the kid comes into view and ML suddenly veiws it like the biggest enemy or rival on Earth... Like common now... So when I find stories like this one who are great from start to end I tend to appreciate them more!!
I agree so wholeheartedly ╥﹏╥ I just want some wholesome stories sometimes goddammit!!
The boy in the end of the ch. is the son of her 1st timeline dad right...? And he looks quite similar to him too... Green eyes and brown hair... Btw I am glad Aster is trying her best to bond with her little brother and make memories with her current fam
Also how do you think she will act in front of her first timeline dad? I mean he wasn't a bad father or husband per se... Tho based on the earlier chapters he did seem a bit of a push over in front of his mom and sis... Which is what makes me believe also made fl sad in the 1st timeline... Also the fact that they both had other people as their 1st love and their wedding was one of convinience didn't help... But he did seem to treat Aster well and love her from the flashbacks we saw... So now meeting him again with a new wife and a son looking like him by his side... Will be interesting... Honestly while reading the side stories it made me feel kinda sad for the duke and Aster... They both know of Aster's past life and even tho they are biologically related and father/daughter from day 1 of 2nd timeline it doesn't "feel" that way... Even Aster keeps refering to him as teacher(based on their 1st timeline) in her head and that makes me feel sorry for the duke? Idk... TT
Yeah seeing him as a father is probably gonna take a while. Ainxe she kept her past memories, being born probably felt like just a day after turning back time, so seeing him as a teacher is still fresh
Yeah seeing him as a father is probably gonna take a while. Ainxe she kept her past memories, being born probably felt like just a day after turning back time, so seeing him as a teacher is still fresh. The multiple years of him being her twacher vs the 5 as her father
The first volume came out and was completed since last year (that's when this was set to "complete") but now that it got a 2nd volume this year it's become invalid....Hope someone could change the settings back to ongoing since it's already been months since vol2 started...
