Spoilers-
Lize is actually the author who went into Lize’s body because they were obsessed with her protagonist and wanted to live life like her. The author made this story for them to live their own fantasy, but their novel/manwha flopped in the real world. Author becomes crazy and hates on everyone that hates lize and something happened i forgot but they ended up in the novel. So Lize(author) controls and puts everyone in a trance to like her and only live for her and that. Our ml begins to get out of this trance cuz of our fl, Liz’s begins to lose her shit cuz as he gets out of the trance she loses more control of the plot and characters. Cliff was controlled the most out of everyone to the point he becomes almost broken, he is actually the real victim cuz he never got to live his life once and Lize the true villian. This novel has been on loop and the author finds different ppl from the real world to play the role of the villainess, there was 12 women before our FL. Every women was ‘boring’ and ‘predictable’ so the author got bored until the 13th women migrated into the villainess role. As our FL changes the plot and her influence in the story Liz(author) begins to lose control of the story which make people question why they feel so possessed when it comes to liz, e.g ML.
What happens to FL that was so heartbreaking?
At then end Liz, the duchess and FL ride in a carriage home from a party and rhey get ambushed by bandits(hired by FL father) to kidnap the women. The duchess and Liz’s got knocked out and our FL was trying her hardness to fight back and save them but the bandits were so abusive to her and only beat her up until she passed out. The duchess and Liz wake up but they are in another place I kinda forget but they were separated from FL. I think liz woke up in the bedroom of the FL’s cunt brother because he wanted to ‘have’ her. The dukedom finds out kidnapping and the duke and Cliff begins to assume it was FL conspiring with her father. They begin to look for them three, at this point the ML was somewhere I think he was in the frontlines taking care of rhe cleanup of the war because Cliff went back first after he got a letter from the duke.
FL wakes up in an underground prison with her cockhead maid. Her maid abused the shit out of her where she becomes disfigured and unable to breathe. Okay so after the maid got her beating she desired she left and the two mercenaries were there guarding her and she managed to get on their good side by making them feel sorry for her about her family disregarding her.
The abusing part and her suffering was really sad and heartbreaking and I think I wouldn’t be able to handle rereading it in the manhwa. I was gasping for air for how sad I felt for her.
During the time of her torture Cliff arrived at the castle with his army to clear out and overtake the castle. He finds Liz and how she was gonna get r@ped with the FL’s brother so he beat him up and killed him(?). They arrested everyone including the cockhead maid and her father. He takes her and the duchess out of there and the rest of his army finish cleaning up and then the duchess said she can’t see FL anywhere we need to find her but then cliff said she was in cahoots with her father, they were both shocked. Soon after the left and went back to the dukedom.
Cliff left our FL in the prison underground where she was dying and stayed for days because he decided not to look throughly cuz all he cared about was Liz. FL stayed there for maybe 3 days without food or water. I don’t rmb the timeline but she gained the favour of the two mercenaries and they set her free and she gave them her necklace the ML got her as thank you and for them to live better lives. She told them to escape and leave before the duke comes with the army (maybe she didn’t know they came already, I forget). She runs out the the cold weather, until she stumbles an old couple who is the baron and baroness of a small land. She asks for their help, they are scared at first cuz of her disfigured face but they help her.
Our ML comes back and finds out about what happened, he becomes so fkn angry at the duke and especially cliff. Why they were so quick to accuse her and why didn’t they bother to look for her. ML knows FL would never do that. Cliff began to feel guilty. ML goes to find FL cuz he can’t trust anyone and he says if she was actually in cahoots with them he wanted to hear her say it himself and he will kill her himself if it was true. It takes him three days to find her, he searched the castle of clues until he found the underground prison where he knows she was kept down here and tortured but she was nowhere to be found. He ends up meeting the two mercenaried that let her go and he saw that they had her necklace, they felt bad for taking it from her so they gave it back to him and directed him in the direction of where they last saw her went but cliffs knights got to her first.
I don’t rmb much in detail from here but when she returns to the dukedom cuz two knights from the dukedom found her. she was going to become executed with her “family”. She was so disfigured that she was almost unrecognisable, the ML wanted her to speak up and tell them she didn’t do it but atp I forget the details but what I rmb it was really sad and heartbreaking for her. I wanted to fkn kill everyone who wronged her in this world.
Anyways short ending explanation is that all misunderstandings cleared after long angst and hardship, Liz true colours are revealed, they were gonna kill her but I guess cliff still didn’t want that and he still loved her no matter who she was even after he knew he was intranced. They get married but she becomes more crazy and more insecure where he was actually trying to help her until cliff became fed up and left her to marry a normal women.
Our main couple lives a happy and prosperous life they deserve in the ML land far away. The side stories are rlly wholesome and cute.
Thank you for reading this far, sorry I couldn’t rmb most detail in depth(๑•ㅂ•)و✧

It's really heart wrenching moment. After Edith left the manor where she got kidnapped, then met the kind hearted barons, then took her money from the bank so she could leave the city. Since her face is disfigured, no one can recognize her as well wearing commoner clothes. She wanted to leave the city thru the train.. so everyday, for a week(?) she would sit on a bench in the station and kept on wishing herself to take a stepforward to aboard the train. But she didn't. So she just stayed there, sitting on the bench, eating steamed potato on a cold winter day.. .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·. Until, she resigned herself to accept her "fate/death" as long as she can meet Kilian one last time... So she introduced herself to the guards patrolling the station as the wanted Lady Edith...·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·. It's her monologue.·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.

The third condition was for her to accept her death. She followed the knights back as she was tired from running and was ready to die by ML's hands. ML was very angry and said FL shares their damily name now.and when FL was on execution ground, her scarf around her face came undone and everyone could see her badly bruised face. ML was heartbroken that she didn't appear to want to fight for her own life anymore (i cried so much here knowing she accepted her fate to die by his sword as all the other past 12 edith did).
She was brought back to dungeon after they saw her condition and lize came to visit her under pretext of giving her a hot water bottle. Lize then used a knife to slash her own arm and cried that FL did it. Ml and cliff came down but ML did not believe Lize. He asked cliff to touch the knife - it was warm but FL was very very cold so the knife should not have been warm, and her arms would not have been able reach out far to give that kind of injury to Lize given the iron bar. Ml then brought FL back to nurse and was very upset and sorry after seeing the condition her body was in, and how she suffered on the road to run away before deciding to come back and die. ╥﹏╥
It was then revealed that Lize did everything but she did not get punished. FL and ML moved to Ryzen to develop the area they call their new home. Lize gets punished for passing off a fake prince and king annulled cliff and her marriage. Cliff remarries in the end. Fl maid and the secetary gets together in the end.
