A quick spoiler, her very first act is her using her handwriting, which she's told looks EXACTLY like her father's, to forge a letter to trick her uncle, AKA her father's brother. She even says that if he doesn't believe that letter, she won't have any way to get her uncle's support, which, since her uncle's wife is the one keeping her inheritance away from her (for the most part), is a pretty big blow to her ability to get what's hers back.

Diana has suffered in her love life - but only with one man. Lucas, the Crown Prince turned Emperor. While she is somewhat hesitant in the beginning, two things happen that explain her quickness in giving herself to him. One, he is offering his assistance with a problem that she readily acknowledges - or at least, genuinely believes - to be one that she can't handle on her own, with her limited power. Second, when she first allowed Edwin to kiss her, he actually groped her a bit. And did so with not just his own pleasure in mind, but hers as well, which is definitely a novel experience, and a heavily desired one, for her. She says that it's her first time learning that a man can grant her pleasure during intimate activities, rather than just taking from her body with no regard for her.

As for Edwin, he is clearly not just a romantic, but also impulsive and prone to following his instincts - as evidenced by the above mentioned groping incident. He had no idea what he was doing, but just follows his instincts. He even told Lucas that's what to do when he finally has s*x (his own inexperience not even remotely being important to Lucas when asking). This highlights another, and I would argue it to even be the biggest, difference between Lucas and Edwin. Lucas' instincts are to take without giving. Edwin's is to share. As for Edwin being a romantic, despite what Lucas believes, Edwin has no s*xual experience with others. And, in fact, has mentioned that he's, essentially, waiting for "the one". Now ask yourself - a man with no prior experience in either romantic or s*xual relationships, meets a beautiful woman and feels an immediate attraction to her. It being his first time ever feeling that way, what do you think would happen? Of course, he's going to act like an immature teenager and throw his entire being into making her the center of his thoughts and view it as love at first sight.

Both of these characters, when considering the above points, suddenly stop being so shallow, and end up with a bit more depth to them than can initially be seen. Well, at least I thought so - your personal preferences and opinions may differ.

Right at the start of the story, Trisha is shown to be an awful excuse for a human being, but once Diana returns to the past, she really doesn't seem that bad. Maybe it's just me, but I started feeling more sympathetic towards her. I think the author was trying to give Trisha a similar feel to Rashta from Remarried Empress, but they failed miserably. All I see Trisha as is a kid who's trying to make the best out of her horrible family situation. In the timeline Diana returns to, Trisha hasn't done anything "evil" yet, so setting her up as the villainess is a bit frustrating to read.

The MC is killed by her bit*h "friend" and has to transmigrate again. Also I'm confused on how this happened. The dagger is what helped her go back to the past. If the descendants of that family blood touches the dagger when their dying they TM. But that dagger wasn't with her when she was killed the second time she was in the prince's room. She was doing good and making moves now everything she did before doesn't even matter. I feel like I wasted my time and I'm sad because I have no clue where the ML is (hoping he didn't go off to war yet). As the recent ch she's not playing anymore she declared war on trisha.
