I think what's unique about this reincarnation manhwa (so far) is that she's not plotting revenge, rather she's trying to repay back the man that saved her make him emperor for the betterment of the people. Sure, her making Cedric the emperor rather than Lawrence is a form of payback, but that's just a side benefit of her main goal.
I actually really like this concept. The husband got to see how two faced his previous love was to his wife. And the wife got to cut the last straw to the relationship while she was in her husband's body. I only wished Ginger in Elissa's body had seen more of how toxic Julia was. But from his inner thoughts, it looks like he already knew
Oh wow, they got rid of Grace faster than I expected. Thought it would be dragged out.
Am I the only one that thinks it's sorta creepy that a couple of the 12 year olds developed a crush on a 5 year old? I get major predatory vibes from it, even though I know it's supposed to be portrayed as cute and innocent. I really wish if the author was going to introduce romance, they'd age Lippe up.
Ikr like the 7 gear age gap might seem fine now but when shes 15 and they're all 22 its gonna be weird like at least make her 10 or smth (〜￣△￣)〜
i forgot she’s supposed to be five! i though she was like 7/8. i feel like that’s such a recurring problem in these type of genres. the love interests are always so much older :/ like can we please be realistic. no 12 year old would be crushing on a 5 year old like that
Right and i get that the theme of the story is fiction but like how has no one questioned lippe being THAT smart cause even if shes a 5 y/o genius she at least has to act a little more childish like either adults are to stupid or no one cares
I'll continue bc i am interested in how all this will turn out but after reading Empress of Another World, Tia is so weak compared to Sabina. You would think someone that was trained to be an Empress would have an higher EQ and politically savvy, but she falls into typical shoujo trope of being dense and obtuse. I appreciate her working hard to improve herself, but I can see why she ends up with Prince Ruve again bc her character is really portrayed as that stupid and naive. She doesn't even have the excuse of being young either bc technically she's around 20+ mentally.
And she is not going to get better. By the end of the story she is a cry baby. Yes, she cries all the freaking time. So much in fact that rven Ruve had to tell her to cry less in front of the servants. It was such a painfull read. And it is even worst when you remember that with the time travel she actually is close to 30 freaking years old in mental age by the end of teh novel... Seriously, what the hell author?

I got to the part in the novel where she's competing with Jeun at the banquet, and she's feeling sick. And the moment she started feeling sick and she mentioned the maid, I was like she's getting poisoned. Like woman, YOU WERE A QUEEN!!! How do you NOT know how royals work??? I also hated how stubborn she was. The author wanted to make it seem like she was strong and determined, working through her sickness and exhaustion to make the banquet a success, but i couldn't help but think of her as stupid. There's a difference between endurance through hardship and pure stupidity. She had people concerned for her, asking every step of the way if she's okay, that she looks like death, and the freaking idiot just keeps lying. And by the time it's revealed she's poisoned and apparently dying, I'm like lady, you deserve it. No sympathy from me at all. She's so frustrating. I really don't see her as Empress material at all. She might make a good wife for a regular noble house, but Empress? Nope.
Same. In fact, it was the point of the story. When she was pure Empress material she had a bad end. The she became "wife" material instead and got a good end. The one who are defending the story are conveniently overlooking the fact that she is still in love with Ruve regardless of her dying vow and the brutal abuse she endured AND that there is no ground at all for her love in both timelines. And after they say we are predudicied when we are calling out on the fact that the message the novel has given is "she wasn't good enough and had to cater to his taste" and that the author has managed to screw up the cliché "FL got with the Prince just because he is the Prince"... It is also very telling that a FL who got throught such abuse and hatred and was hoping so much to be loved, could so easily take for granted and not actually care for her childhood friends... The author is all the place with her unrealistic chraracterisation. I am staying for Keiran, Carsein and the art. That is all. The rest is on a bad chinese or wattpad novel.
Man, if that's really how the novel goes, I'm sad. As a reborn queen with a grudge against her husband, you'd think she'd have more of a backbone :/ I actually bought the entire series up to the latest chapter on tappytoon too....
I'm like is this a bad version of Game of Thrones with Tia as early stage Sansa and Monique house is House Stark?
I'm only on chapter 176 out of 300 (apparently the main story ends on chapter 300? but there are side stories). I'm like dude...there better be some good reveal on WHY the prince even likes her, cuz her being afraid of him attracted his attention???? Whaaaat?? And you know, I'm not even mad she gets back with him because I've read some novels where that happens and it works out. But man, if she has Carsein??? Hell, even Allen? WHY GO BACK TO HIM?? I just have a really hard time relating to her.
I like all the other characters besides the FL...she's just a walking melodrama. I wanted to root for her so bad, but I just spent like 20 chapters face palming at her stubbornness and refusing help, even though it was offered to her on a silver platter.
No, there is an awfull lot of reasons he is in love with her in the second timeline (I refuse to say he loved her in the first one because he didn't knew the true her. Love is not based on lust, that would be a very creepy concept for a "true love story"). She remember him of her mother whome he loved, she cheered him up and saved him contless times (the Emperor death, the investigation about who poisoned him, she is one of the few who is not trying to manipulate him and so on...). He is attracted to her "emotional temper" (reason why in the first timeline he was more attracted to Ji-eun and since they were reversed in the second... you know what happened. She was the best choice, even more so because Ruve saw the way Ji-eun looked at him with hatred during the trial and all...). In the current trial, I don't believe he actually "love" her. It just that he never taught of someone else as his future wife anyway and needed Tia to stay a candidate to get rid of Ji-eun.
It is the love of Tia for Ruve that is not explainable. It is either obsession and so very creepy (because it is an obsession that overlook brutal abuse) or because the author just wanted to push the formula that hard and did it badly. Because at this stage there is no reason at all she should love him. He start with an awfull lot of negative point because of the first timeline AND the way he acted like a jerk and hated her at the beggining of the second timeline. He is more decent "now", but she should not have forgotten how he was goint to neglet her when they were fiancee and the way he let her fall during their first dance when she hadn't done anything to him (it was inferiority complex and rumors that pushed him to humiliate her). Then she should not only understand that if she didn't get away from him he would have done that without any reason at all AND that the way he treated the Princess is very close of how he was acting toward and so he is not so different of First Ruve after all...
I mean very close of how he was acting toward the Princesses.
Omg, you weren't kidding on how much she cries. If I had to take a shot every time she bit her lips from crying or when she does cry, i would be dead from alcohol poisoning.
I am not delusional, right? She became a completly new character!
So far, the webcomic is doing a better job imo. But the webcomic hasn't hit a turning point like the webnovel did. So I'm crossing my fingers and hope the comic doesn't make the FL into a water pot that cries nonstop. She cries when she's sad, she cries when she's happy. I'm surprised her eyes aren't swollen! I started counting how many times she's cries and in one short chapter alone, she cried 4 times. I'm like sheesh...

Thank God Leo finally explains and confesses he likes her in ch 110 and they get together. I was so frustrated that his confession kept getting interrupted and her keep misunderstanding him.
Side note, once they finally get together lol I'm not sure if it's on purpose or if the author wanted to be a happy accident, but as of 114, the prince keeps wearing clothes that matches the MC's dresses. Couple outfits?
Where did you read it!?
Lol...i like how all he said was she was extraordinary and her mind immediately jumped "he knows I'm a transmigrator!"
