I get wanting to make the heroine into the villain but her personality change is just a 180 that makes little sense. Her sister I can at least understand.
I think u can look at it like this: the heroine is a pick me. She flocks around men acting all clueless and the ‘villainess’ is just a distraught gf that hates the pick me. That’s y the personality change was 180.
Based on the novel, they were genuinely good people. That’s the issue with novels that try and antagonize OGMCs. It’s either she’s perfect and becomes bad when she doesn’t get attention, which is random and out of nowhere and overdone, or they randomly have the OGMC randomly become a bad person.
Yeah just find a guy that actually cherishes the villain. Leave the OGMC with their own happy ending
I like that this story is consistent with her reputation, at least as far as I am in the story. In so many, the transmigrated villainess is just nice a few times and suddenly her reputation totally changes, she’s become a good person or she’s misunderstood. Here, she has a bad reputation, people have seen the bad shit in person, so yeah, they’re not going to believe she’s sincere during the times she’s not absolutely horrible, and they’re going to take even her good actions with suspicion for the most part.
I’m on ch 5 and confused. Why does she keep acting like she’s the OG princess? Like her thoughts, "He was my father-in-law," "I won’t be manipulated again," etc.
Edit: I’m on chapter ten and now she’s talking about how her nanny was good to her and like a mother to her what??? Are pages missing? Did the author get confused when writing this? What’s going on?
It's been sooo long since I read the beginning but I felt like that too. It was weird how she talked like she was og princess instead of being reincarnated
I may be wrong because it's been a long time since I read this, but I think she IS the original princess. The first life is the original, and she died, then she lived her second life and died again. When it was time to reincarnate in her third life, she kinda regressed to the first one.
Yup. This is what happened.
Did I just miss that explanation while skimming? Went back but still couldn’t find it.
I think it’s because the initial translation is of bad quality. That’s why it jumps from her remembering it’s a regression to a past life to referring it to a novel like most transmigration stories. When the translation gets better it will become clear.
Babe, he killed you 19 times. 19 times. How is he your love interest? Lol this is why I appreciate that one story where she dies a bunch and comes back and hates the dude that killed her and gets with someone else.
Though I love the world ending concept so much that idec lmao
Right? I’m so confused on why he suddenly likes her..
What's the name of that story
It seems more interest than like. Kinda like "you caught my attention woman" from bossy CEO trope. I'm not getting their chemistry but I like the world ending stuff. I'm so torn about this as the change in fate leading to the OG MC's death is so interesting but their romance is not.
Eh.. maybe that was the case at first but he definitely likes her.
Isn't that how they always roll. Unless it's a wife chasing crematorium. I honestly never understood ML's whole you took my first time so now you are mine/we will be together forever trope.
I honestly don’t know, I read a spoiler and it doesn’t make sense.. I don’t think I read the full story but.. I think ima js drop it
+1
I feel that the following 2 Mangas deal with a ML who killed the MC multiple times. The romance actuallt makes sense unlike this. Preventing The making of a Tyrant

The Villainess Wants to Enjoy a Carefree Married Life in a Former Enemy Country in Her Seventh Loop!
Ooof. Wish I remembered. Girl follows the plot the first time but comes back, does nothing the next time but comes back coz the ML is a dick who was like "My new love will be jealous if I have two wives so I'm killing you" and it just goes on and on. New life she's like, "Nah, fuck it, I'm just gonna act how I want" so she befriends FL and one secondary male lead and the other secondary male lead likes her and forms a deal with her so the male lead can never kill her.
Sounds good
omds pls rmb it if u can that sounds so good
is it I Will Politely Decline The Male Lead?
Yeah
God, the plot twist is so fucking stupid lmao. It’s like For Better or For Worse like how do either of the authors feel like that plot twist makes any sense at all?

omg that is so fucking stupidddd
EDIT (putting it at top so you don't gotta read my confused rant lol): Okay, so I did all my research. Jia is from what is known as a Murim (the Korean equivalent of Wulin), which is a "martial arts world" used in the Wuxia genre (a genre focusing on the stories of martial arts/martial artists); it seems like the genre is traditionally Chinese but also used in Korea. The world is basically the same and all Chinese-geared, but generally with Korean names. So Jia is not from the same world as Valerie at all. She's not from ancient China and happens to know martial arts but is actually from a fictional martial arts world, hence her martial arts abilities also including magic. In her world, there are SOME people with non-martial arts powers;. This part I'm not so sure of, but it sounds like they're referred to as being in a clan but aren't actually related. The source of their abilities is not common knowledge. As for why Jia introducing herself as "Moyong Jia" made Valerie realize she was from Murim, this is because the Moyong family is a prominent one in Murim (I guess the world in all the stories has basic stuff like the same Noble families?).
As for why Valerie could read a Chinese character... idk. The fact that she's so familiar with all this, I can only imagine she was a fan of, or at least familiar with, the genre.
-----
Some of this is so confusing that I’m not even going to try and understand it, but I just wanna get this basic thing down.
At first I was just like “Oh Jia’s from ancient China” but then there was the flying stuff. Then suddenly people from her world have powers. And apparently reincarnation is common enough that they call people like that blood sect (unless I’m misinterpreting which I probably am). That’s definitely not ancient China lol. I mean, I was confused why Valerie knew a Chinese character, especially when she said she was Korean. So why does Valerie seem to know so much about Jia’s world when it is very clear that Jia is from a different world and Valerie is from our world?
Getting "Ayeshah's Secret" vibes
Ayeshah's secrets is more dark this is more colourful ( no I'm not talking about the artstyle colour nor anything any it )
"She’s so shabby and unattractive."
And the artists gives her striking hair and eye colors and gorgeous looks lmao
I know they’re villains and they’re gonna do awfully fucked up things in the story, but idk relationships based on lies make me feel weird coz of consent and whatnot
Bruh that's why it's called fiction . Bro is a villain , he's supposed to do morally wrong stuff.
There's also such thing as a likable villain, which is what this story is going for. It's possible for someone to realize someone is a bad person and fall for them anyway. But the novel being all like "this poor man is so pure and I never realized it and omg I'm so in love with him now because of his kindness" gives me the ick and is also kinda boring. Going back and forth in your head and knowing liking the villain is wrong is more interesting.
Honestly, I just find it incredibly unsatisfying having them play every one in the way they're playing them. I like seeing people one-upped and tricked, but him making himself look like a martyr just kinda makes the plot of a villain embracing being a villain weaker and slightly less appealing. Heck, even if he revealed his evil at the end but the person stayed with them, it'd be more interesting. You're a villain. You're caught. Show them just how bad you are.
