The Abandoned Empress

Complete | Ina, yuna | 2000 released

MC reincarnates after ML cheats on her, violates her, offers no support after she miscarries, kills her father, then executes her. MC is no saint either -- she knew from the start that ML did not love her, but yearns for his love anyway. Very toxic love, she tried to kill him after she reached her breaking point with him and is executed. Post reincarnation she has not one but two fine men vying for her love and who will treat her right but she chooses the same ML who inflicted her so much pain and suffering in the first timeline. Fck out of here that "he's not the same person", she promised to herself she wouldn't love him again. This story bastardizes the "one true love" trope to the extreme and perpetuates the toxic ideology that true love is enough to justify keeping two people together despite any amount of pain and suffering.
