I know Leo needed to hear the truth, but having secret conversation where you go into detail about the things a person is not supposed to overhear in a place where they can overhear is crazy. People love to gossip. She wouldn't have overheard if they just went on about their business. I am sure they already had the conversation before she arrived. Why have it again while she is still there. With that logic, it's only a matter of time before the other kids learn the truth, assuming they don't already know.
I never understood why characters would get so obsessed with keeping the story the same when they already interfered and changed the story. Whether you do leave or stay, there will be a butterfly affect. Also, the characters are no longer a book. You can't force your idea of a happy ending on them. They have their own thoughts, opinions, and goals and have the right to change them even if it doesn't align with the original story you read. I like the story, but them wanting to keep an original "happy ending" where he never falls in love kinda irritated me. A story where only the princess is happy doesn't sound too happy ending to me. If the crown prince so happened to fall in love with another woman, would they be mad at him for ruining the perfect "happy ending"? Even if he didn't fall in love with someone, it wouldn't be because a book said so. Don't dictate someone else life. To them it is not a story. Use the story you know as a draft, not a prophecy. It's not like you can know everything about someone from a book. Sorry for the rant.
Omg yes! This has always annoyed me. Like why are they always so dead set on "sticking to the novel" and saying "they ruined the book." Like y r u there in the first place? Why were u even put in their body? Ur a different person. It's common sense it'll be different. If it was "supposed to be like the original novel" y didn't the original person just stay in their body? It makes no sense to me.
Right!
I also noticed that they want the stroy to stay the exact same while taking opportunities away from essential characters. Or they majorly impact a character's life (e.g., by become a spouse, a savior, or a business partner) but expect the story to get back on track after they leave. You being born as the character already changed the story. Unless you become an exact replica of the character you were reborn as, there is no way of ensuring everything remains the same. Even leaving the country might change things.
I'm not that far in the story yet, but based on what was I read in chapter 6 and 23, the mc's wife was cheating on him with other women! He just let that go! She really tried to act pitiful by saying she was deceived by a man in the past, and now, she was deceived by the woman she was cheating with. The only response the MC gave was that he wouldn't let anyone hurt her anymore. Like bro. It's implied that she was cheating for a while all while never being intimate with her own husband. That makes her and her family falsely accusing the MC of cheating with the assistant even more ridiculous. The audacity of cheaters. Her and her family also talked down to the MC and used him for years! They are hypocrites. Why is he not calling them out?
I feel so bad for her, but I also feel a little conflicted. It was implied that she and other people ruined the lives and careers of other actors and actresses by finding, exposing, and making weaknesses for them. I hope those actors and actresses get justice, too. Who knows how and where they ended up, especially the ones who chose not to give in and faced the same slander/treatment for something they weren't involved in.
Thank you !thats right.
I read some of the comments, and now, I'm confused. Some people say that Navier didn't do enough to help Rashta. I can understand why some people sympathize with Rashta, but she was a mistress. What wife goes out of her way to help a mistress? If I remember correctly, Navier did try to give her advice and Rashta was given teachers, but Rashta cried at the slightest thing. If she didn't want to do something, she cried. If someone said something she didn't like, she cried and then actively/intentionally went against what they said. Also, it's not like Navier knew she was a slave at the start. In her eyes, she was a mistress in what was once a monogamous relationship. People also try to portray Rashta as a naive victim. In my opinion, Rashta was ignorant considering that she didn't know a lot of things, but she was not naive. She knew exactly what she was doing even in the beginning. In a way, Rashta and Sovieshu both acted like their fathers, the people they hated. Sovieshu can be blamed for giving her power, but she alone holds complete blame for what she chose to do with that power. Someone can give you a weapon and another person can tell you to use it, but at the end of the day, you hold the most blame for using it while the rest are merely accomplices.
After reading their discussions, it's actually about the slavery in that empire. Navier did not do anything to abolish slavery. This is the plot device that was taken for granted by a lot of readers. This situation sheds a new light to the entire story. It become more than a story of a married couple broken by a mistress to a whole social issue on that empire and it actually makes sense.
As another commenter said it's more about Navier not doing anything about slavery being legal in her empire. But I can see it for what it is, it's the writer overlooking the implications of what she actually wrote. She probably made Rashta a slave to make it more dramatic and engaging but completely ignored that slavery is not a lighthearted topic. She completely ignored that the ones with the responsability to not let slavery exist in the empire were both Sovieshu and Navier.
I think it's an issue that comes with engaging lightheartedly with heavy topics such as slavery, politics and social struggles. We see Navier donating to charities but we don't see her create social programs so that poor people stop being poor. IRL that is something a corrupt politicians only wanting to clean their images would do. Because charity is nice and all but it's doesn't focus on changing the structural situations that lead to poverty, only gives the poor kid a meal and send him back home. But again this is the writer getting in over her head with the topics she choose to write about.

This is a good point. The author never did explain slavery. It was kinda thrown in there. It made it seem like only Rashta was a slave and that she was a slave for plot devices. The never talk about what the emperors or empreses (past and current) thought about or what policies where in place. I won't talk about the author's writing, but this is something that is pointed out but not explained.
Yes, this is a good point. The story mostly focuses on the characters themselves and not the roles they play/titles they hold. It would be interesting to see how certain social stances they take or don't take affects them, shifting some of the focus more to the their actual roles as emperors and empresses.
Does anyone know what happens to the son, the first child that was with Allen?
Also, it has been a while since I read this, but didn't Rashta ruin people's lives, steal from the country, and have people beaten, killed, kidnapped, and sold off screen? I know she has a sad background, but why are some people saying it wasn't her fault? I know that she was manipulated, but wasn't a lot of the crimes she commited against other people her own ideas and done by her own will? Did I miss/forget something? Genuine question.
Yes she did, she almost tried ruining navier’s brother life and many, many more.
Throughout the story, I have kinda felt bad for Kim Taeyoung and Han Goyou. It's like the MC doesn't truely see them as friends. He sees them as competition. Also, due to his Inferior complex, he never bothered to think that they could have problems and that they have to work extremely hard, too. Now that he has regressed, he hasn't changed much and doesn't go out of his way to interact with them unless it's convenient or they make the first move. He is also training his sister up to be better than them. He is always comparing. I don't think that is fair to anyone. While I don't agree with Han Goyou being jealous, just as I didn't agree with the little sister being jealous , I get where she is coming from. Her first and only friend in what seems like a while, doesn't try to understand her, barely interacts with her, actively competes with her, only cares for his sister, signed said sister up for lessons with her former coach, treats said sister as her competition, and so on. If I was a teenager, I would be pissed, too. Rather than directing her frustration at the sister, maybe she should try to make a few friends potentially outside of that school. Or maybe she should hang out more with Taeyoung. It's hard to remember, but the MC is the only adult in this situation.
Honeslty, the only decent one is Taeyoung.
Sister is wierdly jealous that ahes not the only singer her brother knows
Goyoung is straight up crazy, blames others for her (self-percieved) shortcomings, gets jealous of a guy who is BARELY qualified as a friend, and is Honeslty more of an acquaintance, and nweds serioua therapy.
And the mc treats everyone like they're not real people. Its wierd. Like those "reincarnated into a book!" isekai where the mc doewnt really view the in-world characters or their probpems as real, except he IS in the real world, but hes still acting like that. Its really wierd, he ACTS genuine, but i sense no genuine emotions from this dude to anyone but his sister.
Its like he knows what the right answera to enter to get his deaited outcome are, not like hes actually caring
Yeah
Sorry for all typos. Got a new phone that is smaller than my last and im still adjusting to the keyboard
You are fine. There was a time when I had so many typos due to my phone keyboard's weird auto correct format, so I get it.
As crazy as it sounds, I can actually believe a woman having 10 kids at once since there is a real life example. Them all being fraternal is kinda crazy, but I can buy it. That being said, how did she, a supposedly poor woman, get 9 newborns on a plane by herself while moving to another country? Did she move before they where born? If not, what about the hospital bill and costs of passports, plane tickets, luggage, and baby supplies?
On another note, why does she casually leave her young children alone for days? Multiple events have passed while several of the children sit unattended at home waiting to be introduced to there father.
I'm not completely sure about other countries, but in the U S, a permit or professor's permission can be accepted in place of prerequisites. I know some freshmen (1st years) who took sophomore, junior, and senior (2nd, 3rd, 4th year) level courses . I also knew a girl who took graduate level courses as a junior. In her case, it took a lot of emails, testing, recommendations, and more. The courses you take in high school can also be a big factor. I took advance placement and dual enrollment courses in high school. I also took the placement test for certain courses. This allowed me to take sophomore and junior level courses as a freshman. My situation is different, but my point is that freshman can and do take higher level courses in college and university.
In my major, there's a higher term course that can be taken by freshmen, and there's that can't.
Especially when the course is numbered or need a pass grade from the course before that.
But there's no way a freshmen in his first semester is allowed to take a higher course, because the first semester course is like a package that given by university.
Seeing I'm from science major, I don't know what happened in other major but taken by their conversation it's not supposed to be allowed to in their major.
I think intentionally or not, she's taken the opposing role, so that it didn't became a resentment from other upper classmen.
I think it's more of a resentment thing. The professor explained that he is also enrolled in prerequisite course. I have also seen this happen a couple of times. I know little about other universities, but I was an incoming freshman that was allowed to take higher level courses. I have also seen many other incoming freshman across various departments do the same. I'm not sure about law school, but it doesn't seem like he is skipping all of his freshmen courses. He is just dual enrolled in a prerequisite course and a higher level course. This is tricky and hard to do, but I have seen it successfully done. Some people are able to graduate early because of taking courses early and various other exceptions.
I feel so bad for the children who thought they were being adopted. I know that Leo is in shock and wants to her everything for Connie, but I hope that she didn't just brush off everything he said. I hope she said some comforting words before parting. It must have been hard for him to talk about what happened him. Those kids at the orphanage have been though a lot. I hope they get the help they did.
No she won't probably be brushef off since Connie wants to make her feel hell ( not yhat its really Leo fault)...
I think you misunderstood me. I meant I hope Leo didn't brush Yuben off. It must have been pretty difficult for him to talk about what happened to himself. Although it was shocking, I hope Leo didn't just leave making him feel like she didn't believe him or didn't care. I hope she said some words of comfort before she left.
Well she wasn't in a state of mind stable enought to think of orhers ...anf to tell him dont worry i believe all will be fine
I know she might not have been in an emotionally stable place which is why I don't think anyone will hold it against her. Still, I can only imagine what Yuben was feeling. He already had to keep quiet to maintain peace. Being brushed off after confessing what happened to him would have been devastating. I just hope someone gave him words of comfort.
