I love the mc, u don't need ppl to tell u about how intelligent she is bc just by the way she thinks and attitude u can clearly see it by urself. Also love how straightforward she is when she said she thinks the second prince is trying to seduce her and when she said I don't like flirtatious men I fall in love with her. She clearly isn't one of those fake strong female lead that with just a look from the ml becomes a living tomato

It's sad how in these reincarnation stories the ml in mc's past life hate her and visibly show his disgust for her bc mc loves him too much (obviously also mc is at fault by doing bad thing to fl bc ml loves her) but when mc start ignoring ml and not loving him anymore, he begin to be interested (also acting all shy)like wtf dude are u masochist? Maybe u like being ignored #-.-).
It's quite annoying and seeing them end up together in the end is even more annoying.

No yeah yeah... i mean... in most cases I agree. They either feel buthurt over being dumped... or fall for them because they are actually someone else... but in this case... he disliked her more over she being too forceful in her pursuit... it was borderline harassment... and she bullied the girl she thought he liked... no one in their right minds would like someone in that situation. This time more than not being interested... she is acting normally and even being considerate... and because of that he is seeing her good points he couldn't see in the previous one...
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

I agree in most cases but i don't think that's exactly what happened with raphael here. He was weary of cayenna when she first stated that she would no longer pursue him but then he noticed her change in behavior and it confused him so he wanted to find out more about her and this sudden change in behavior. His curiosity in her change is what lead to his feelings for her bc he discovered things abt her that he really liked. Even in the original timeline, he wasn't trying to assassinate her like the other male leads. He obviously didn't like her bc of her actions but his treatment to her was quite fair based on her actions. He didn't try to use or harass her unlike the others. I think his reactions to her are quite normal.
However in other reincarnation stories i find it rlly frustrating when they start getting with a guy who either abused them in their past life or killed them. Like bestie what are you doing. This is one of the reasons i rlly love the manhwa "kill the villainess". The three og male leads all treated og eris like shit and i was quite glad it wasn't a story where she got with one of them. She ends up with anakin who treated her well even in the og timeline.

Yeah, it's also sad the fact that villainesses take their anger and jealousy on the FL that didn't do anything apart of being the love interest of the ml. It's not fl's fault if ml fall in love with her. For example when a bf cheat, the gf usually take anger on the female her bf cheated with. I remember seeing this manhwa where the Mc's best friend's bf was interested in the mc and Mc wasn't at all and tried to avoid him bc he was her best friend's bf. Then her bestie discovered that her bf was flirting with MC and got angry at the mc and throw a tantrum with many ppl watching but with her bf she didn't do anything. Her bf even tried to defend MC saying it wasn't her fault but best friend's MC was even more angry#-.-).

are you talking about "the first night with the duke" bc that exact thing happened. In most stories i read the fl is fraternizing with a man who already is involved with another woman (that woman being our villainess). whether that relationship be arranged or natural, it's still wrong of them. It makes the woman that he was with, lose face. Also being a homewrecker is just wrong but in cases where its not like that I agree with what u said.

So I tried searching the manhwa in various lists that are about full colour school life and romance and nothing T-T. Even tried searching on my lists but I don't think I put it there since I didn't read it all the current chapter. I'm gonna try one last desperate attempt: asking on the questions ┗( T﹏T )┛.

Not me reading it again and still getting emotional bc of the ending( ̄∇ ̄")

Can you explain the ending to me? I just finished reading it but the ending is still confusing to me...like the other gods gave him a chance to be with her again in her world, so I had thought that meant they’d rebirth him as a human buttt he’s still a god at the end in her pond? Idk It’s confusing, esp since the scenes were similar to what she was doing in the dream world before

So from what I understood, I have two theories:
The first is that the mc's world and water god's world are the same just in different timeline. So the other gods send the water god that became water drop in the lake where the mc was transferred when she was a child. And in that lake he stayed until mc was born. I think that lake will be in mc's pond. As u can see in the last 2 chapters we see all the story we read but the pov is focused on the lake and pond (u can see when the mc when she was little was taken and brought in the past: httpp://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/suijin_no_hanayome/nbt/mpn_chapter-2171287/pg-36/, here when she come back: http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/suijin_no_hanayome/nbt/mpn_chapter-2171288/pg-8/). So we can say that the water god in water drop version brought mc in the past where she meet the past water god and fell in love, then came back the her time, then going back again bc she felt like old water god was calling but it was the water god in water drop form and then when her lil brother tell her that when he was little he heard someone in the pond calling the MC name. Thanks to this she realised he was there.
Basically if u saw Inuyasha, it's like the two wells that connects past and future.
- the second theory is that there are actually two world and the gods sent water god in water drop version in her world that was still in creation and humans still didn't exist ( http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/suijin_no_hanayome/nbt/mpn_chapter-2171287/pg-10/ Here he says he doesn't feel ANY human presence). So he waited until she was born. The two worlds are connected by the lake and pond and the rest the same as the first theory.
I think the first theory is more right but that 'i don't feel ANY human presence' is sus.
Hopefully u find it useful and clearer than beforeヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~.

Copied wrongly the link ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭.

Omg thank you so much for the through explanation!! I really enjoyed this story and was just confused by the ending but you explained it so well. I honestly agree with your first theory that they were just on two different timelines until they met once again. It’s so cute how their love transcends time and space

ty for the explanation! i was really confused about the ending too.
one question, how would you explain how there both the water god as we saw through the majority of the story and the water droplet version existing at the same time? iirc he was a water droplet because he had expended so much of his power thus far (and gave a lot of it to asahi) that he couldn't keep his humanoid shape.

So first of all we don't have both water gods in the same time but in different timeline. Bc the is in the mc's present and the other water god is in the past where the lake wasn't a pond yet. So they can "co-exist" since one is in the past and the other in the present.
Hope it makes sense. If not tell what u don't understand , I'll try to answer

Thanks for the quick reply! when the droplet ver went to the past at the end, where was the human form? was it much farther in the past than when the mc first arrived so the water god didn't exist back then?
to be honest i'm still a little confused as to how when the mc as a kid was pulled into the pond and met the water god in human form (which i assume is him in the past) how that wouldn't change the droplet version's past. say the mc was pulled into the pond in the year 2000 and returned in 2003 just as the water god became a droplet. the 'other world' she got pulled in is actually the same world, but in 1950. in 2010 soon after the god became the water droplet, he went back time to the year 1900. when the mc is pulled into the pond by the water droplet in 2000 and supposedly meets the water god from 50 years ago, 1) how is he not a droplet and 2) how does it not change the course of history between those 50 years? in the form of the droplet, he spent 1950-2000 as a droplet going through the water cycle, 2000-2003 waiting in the pond; but the human form spent 1950-2003 growing up with the mc. how does that work since the historic events have changed?

First of all didn't travel in the past he just stayed inside the lake and waited for mc to born. Nor did he go in the past at the end.
Using ur same method to explain: using years. If 1950 is the time mc when she was a child got transferred in another timeline (and met water god in god form) then the real timeline of the MC is 2003. So from this timelines I'll try to explain.
The mc was pulled into the pond bc called her name and used a bit of his remaining power as a god but when she got pulled she went to the past. I assume intentionally decided to pull her in the past so she can meet him in the past and also to not change the future. So rn MC is in 1950 and she meet water god in god version. She will be send back in 2003 again and then will go back to 1950 bc she thought past water god was calling her but then she discover that past water god didn't call her but don't really much about. We'll discover in the last ch that it was . Finally she wil be send back for the last time in her time (2003) and there she'll discover thanks to her lil brother that was actually calling her all the time.
With this we can think that and past water god never met bc they were in different timelines.
The fact that in the end he isn't a water drop idk but ig it's bc mc has his powers (maybe...?)
Is this clearer or still confused?
If u have other questions, I'm all ears.
I love how Medea and Psyche didn't misunderstand and fought with each other. Love how Psyche after seeing the true colours of eros she didn't blame or got jealous of Medea, she just accepted and decided to form an alliance with Medea. And the art is so catching and gorgeous and I feel all the tension through the scenes ngl
