She used her past knowledge to change her current situation but then she gets caught up in her feelings and says/does something s*upid! One instance is her asking for a divorce right away when they weren't even engaged yet! The situation wasn't at the point where she could ask for a divorce without Carl thinking she's crazy. What's even more infuriating is the logical explanation she gives to Carl to make him understand why she's going to be his fiance.

It's like her logic lasts for a few seconds then she looses all common sense because she's caught up in her feelings or just staring at Carl because he's good looking! UGH!

But I think she should've lived. Having her kill herself at the end just to solve the problem quickly felt too cheap. It might've been meant to be like, oh look at the shitty lady die, thank god, you know, but I like it better when awful people have to live with the consequences of their actions.

And the ML's brother deserved better. I know he was sick and dying, and that it would probably be too convenient if they managed to magically cure him, but at the very least he deserved to throw away his title and go be the wandering bard he was always meant to be until he died. His relationship with his wife (she was more of a sister to him) was really pure and wholesome. They were raised like siblings, but then were expected to get married and have children, which was obvs awkward and uncomfortable, but they cared about each other a lot. His wife really supported him and wanted him to be happy, and I felt for her when he died since he was like her family. She kinda had a little romance going on with the FL's brother, so it was good to see her get a bit of light at the end of that tunnel. But yeah, the ML's brother deserved better.

At the beginning, we see FL's wish was to be loved by the ML and it slowly transit into a desperation as she see her child going through the same fate as her. Hence, she make the wrong decision and caused her to regret. As FL return back in time, she vowed to make not the same mistake that led to the tragedy in her past life.

Sienna past life really pitiful as she was not loved by Carl (ML) and got abandoned worst even after she got son who clearly was push back as first crown prince after Bluebell, the second empress got pregnant. After her death due to being imprison after Arya rebellion succeed and later kill by Carl, she travel back before the tragedy happen. I expect from this now on, she will be firm and smart and focus to not repeat the same tragedy again but as soon as she meet Carl, her blinded love really taking control over her action despite how worst is him during the past life when even he don't love her or he despise her, at least have a bit some of compassion to the newborn son and do something to protect her from becoming Arya tool. The part that got me frustrasted so much when she is too easy to give herself for him. Like seriously, eventho you really love him so much, at least have some spine to not let it conquer your heart will you? Trying to be firm or at least.... control your emotion and think about your goal first.

Carl really useless for me to talk about when he did not change very much. The only thing difference is that his love and affection to different woman. He's really s*upid and let the same thing about what Sienna went through in the past life happen to Bluebell in curent life. Obviously, you can prevent the past Sienna and curent Bluebell to not getting used by Arya plot rebellion to happen by not neglect and abandoning them just like that even if you don't have any feeling love or hate whatsoever. And the fact that he didn't tell Bluebell about his true feeling that he don't love her before taking her as the second empress and later told her after she witness him being lovey dovey with Sienna really make my blood boil! (eventho I hate Bluebell because she just spoil annoying brat, but at least I know what the feeling when you having a close relationship and he was nice, caring and protecting you openly, you could expect him to feel having a same feeling for you too.) I wish the author make him suffer more before ending happyly together with Sienna or maybe make him remember about the past too. But according to the plot, the author can make Sienna be more firm or cold and let him be the one falling in love and trying to get her heart. He become one of the dumb and useless ML that I have discover. So dissapointing these two leads character...

Valore should not die and he deserved better, dear author! He just want to get out from the political world and let go of his position as the crown prince and his wish is to live freely eventho he is been dying and sick. Sienna know the future and she have a chance to save him but she don't do that because of Carl's sake. sigh....
