For example, Aria knows Millie plans to trap her on a particular day, but she has no idea how, and she still decides to blindly step in for no reason. If you know it is coming and staying at a hotel for a night will ruin the scheme against you, why not do it ? This whole arc is pretty silly. Even if Asher didn't teleport her out, there would still be no actual evidence against Aria. Only Millie's word against hers, and since Aria has the support of the Crown Prince, I can't see how Millie can threathen random minor nobles more than the Crown Prince... It was just a bad scheme, which she should have avoided in the first place.

Then the whole treason arc is just ridiculous. That plan is way too complicated to have no one suspect a trap. Also, why would the aristocrats have zero soldiers of their own ? The whole point of a high ranking noble is that he is paying for soldiers. Then, there are chapter after chapter on how exactly this plot against the aristocracy will be upehld in court, while it depends on things like convicing some of the aristocrats to rat on the others for a reduced sentence, but we are also told that said collaborators actually will still be hanged because their crime is so serious that the reduction is meaningless. Are you serious ? The aforementioned collaborators didn't demand to know what sentence they will get ? How s*upid are they ?

Then we are told the accused nobles can't hire lawyers to defend themselves because part of the plan was to rob them and confiscate their lands before they are found gulity. This isn't intelligent or moral. I can't see how behaving this way towards part of the nobility will not lead the rest to rebel seeing as they are under clear threat by the royal family. Any one of them can be arrested and prevented from being able to defend himself. All of this behaviour just justifies the Aristocratic party in the first place. Not to mention the one judge in the story that is responsible for dealing with the nobility is part of the royal family.

I don't understand the implied immorality of the aristocratic faction simply on the basis that they limit the power of the royal family... that sounds great to me. While far from a democratic republic is still better to have a 1000 powerful families insetad of 1.

In second life, MC now can see what is what and act as like a noblewomen should do and try to revenge. I like that MC now know that her step sister isn't clever like she thought in her previous life and how much idiot of herself in the past life so she try hard to improve her knowledge and her skill. In the end I think she is now better than the prince.

I don't know why some people hate MC for being 'wicked' (he or she hates Aria because of what she did to count's family) because if you read the title you'll know she's a villain (And if you read the novel/manhwa you know that the count's daughter and isis tries to put dirt (/kill her like the carriage thing if I remember it correctly) on aria's name both in first and second life so she's just getting revenge and if she didnt stop count's daughter and isis plans to ruin her she might be dead now

Oscar didn't get a good ending since he wasn't directly involved in her sister's bad deeds towards her.

Crown Prince that intercepted (?) her in the shop that she went to repair her hourglass, like it was so obvious? She already said that the prince was the one in charge of the case in her past life. Where was the need to delve into it deeply?

1. The plot is extremely interesting and could make you 'feel' sad, angry, happy and many others. Readers would always like to see a 2-faced b**** be face slapped and her family tr*sh included. Also face-slapped she did.
2. Female lead is awesome. She's truly the definition of a badd ass female lead. Also FL is also a bit no a two-face but it was all for a good cost. To me, nothings wrong with FL just that she's a bit viscous like how she used her tutor and used her maids but I can understand why she did though cuz the others were viscous first so how could she not be viscous.
3. Male lead has many flaws for me but he still has the attitude of a ml. Flaws like he misunderstood MC and her sister although he did not know who is who so I could understand but I still feel a bit resentful cuz how would you feel if your enemy is being given valuable stuff while your being ignored especially if the gifts were suppose to be for you. Also I didnt like at first how ML was flirty and clingy was he to the FL cuz out of nowhere he almost killed FL and also just because he wants to flirt with FL means he could I mean he's a stranger and he almost killed her but thats the how novel works where the to main leads will fall inlove. It would be great if he didnt fall inlove immediately and first start to get along with the FL but not just suddenly giving flowers.

All in all its a good novel and very satisfying for she succeeded on making all of those who deserve to suffer indeed suffered.I especially like how the count realizes how evil his daughter is. Theres also that evil sister dying that felt good. Everything ended as how it should've been. This novel is one of the best novels I had read I recommend for you to read it♡.

On the ending of Mielle, I believe that Aria still gave her a chance to prove that she could change. She advised to control the amount of the poison flower so as just to induce stomachache, and did not directly say to plot to kill Annie. Also, really? To sympathise with someone who was willing to push their own father down the stairs and blame it on someone else. That was like the ultimate flag ? Saying *MAJOR EVIL* Even Aria said that she wouldn't think of doing that herself, as she worried about the count and was even willing to use the Hourglass even though she would be left alone in the villa in the forest. So yeah, the ending for Mielle was well-deserved by her in my opinion.

Cain however, I was a bit torn. But then, even in real life there's a saying that, "He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." ― Martin Luther King, Jr.
So for all the early days where Cain didn't even try to mingle with Aria and her mom, or rebuke Mielle, he is just as guilty. Same is true for the count. Even the countess said so, that all the problems wouldn't have happened if from the start he advised his children that, "they are from humble origin, but they are family now." He basically did nothing to prevent the animosity within his family, only repenting in the end.
