Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.The ‘fake saint’, Lavior Bailey, who exiled an innocent princess and instigated war. She was a villainess wearing the face of a holy woman. “I love you. So just shut up and die for me, okay?”
But when she realized that the lover she trusted had designated her as a sacrifice to be offered to a demon, and that her father was behind it all, she swallowed poison to end her own life.
It was painful. So excruciating that she couldn’t even scream.
But it was okay. Because she knew this wasn’t the end.
“This time, I’ll save you.”
And so began her second life. She was determined to save everyone who had become unfortunate because of her and reclaim the life that had been stolen from her.
“Do whatever you want for the man in your dreams,” Damian said with a rough laugh. “Because I’ll protect you however I want.”

- the plot makes sense and is deeper/more interesting that what it seems at first,
- characters are 3D, not just de main ones but even the friends are fleshed out and have their own little story
- MC is strong, not to OP, just perfect to be human and inspiring,
- there's no unhealthy imbalance in the main couple, no toxic jealousy or manipulation,
- no typical "other women are only there to be crazy jealous b*sh" & instead true good female friendships !
Seriously, go for it, it's too good to miss.it's boring af
the demons were turned into teddy bears. The power boosts became low quality props. The gods were just s*upid and well, died.
prince Acerus (or whatever his name is) had a romance line with Eunice (I think that's her name) I just gave up on the book.
im the kind of person that obeys that law of not letting the truth get in the way of a good story, but that only works if the story is actually good.
im not one to despise people for their decisions and may be it was just the way the romance of the book was placed so I ended up having no favorite character or something.
First, prince aserisc (whatever his name was) could have become my favorite character for this book.
Then, he is a crown prince of an empire. But apparently with this story, power matters more in a small kingdom than it would to an entire empire.
so the prince doesn't care for his reputation among the people and is constantly throwing tantrums.
not only that. He sleeps with a random girl (Eunice) who despite her time setting, is a noble who likes open relationships.
the prince doesn't realize that he needs to strengthen his hold on the throne because even if he is the only child, he does have relatives. So he apparently can't live without Eunice after they sleep with each other a couple of times.
and guess what?
Eunice, who apparently loathes commitment, is so concerned with the prince and shows all kinds of caring sides.
•so her guy is so OP that he can easily defeat demons that are ranked in top five in the demon realm but he can't capture 2 black sorcerers?
•so every demon that they encountered suddenly forgot that they are demons and were easily fooled by her?
• so these demons forgot how to be cunning and heartless? They forgot that they can use anything to their advantage as long as it results in their selfish gains?
•so they were so eager to kiss her feet just because she walks around with a candle?
and after all that doesn't make sense, we can't have a break? We can't have one sensible thing?
• the prince asceric (whatever the name is) goes to war with a powerful half demon and no one thinks! "Hey! Why not take someone that will assure your victory? Besides, there's nothing he is doing by Lara's side. Plus, not only has this man defeated the demon before, he actually has control over it! Yes, you may want to kill it yourself your highness, but in case the demon pulls out a nasty trick, let this guy have your back."
nope. The prince went alone and nearly lost his life despite being close friends with someone that can easily destroy the demon. In fact, 2000 barbarians were called for the purpose of destroying the demon in the north and teach the empire's citizens a lesson by leaving them to face off the monsters but we can forget that entire plot point.
and then vallac attaches himself to the prince and their lives become connected.
Back to the point of Eunice. She comes form a small noble family with no influence in the greater empire. Not only that, her relationship with the apparent play boy prince is purely s*xual but he is completely smitten.
so why wasn't he completely smitten with all the other women he slept with?
it was only a one night stand and they had no special relationship between them!! Just no! No! At least if there had been something between them.
not only that- and I'm not saying women like this don't deserve the world, they do. I'm just saying that looking at the time period the story was set in, Eunice's character was akin to that of a prostitute (which is an okay occupation) and I didn't judge her for it but looking everything, it was impossible for any facts to allow her to be the future empress. She lacked all kinds of skill and values associated with empresses.
but I could ignore all that if the prince and Eunice at least had like, some chemistry.
so this god comes down to earth to visit and decides to create a saintess for the people. He gives the saintess everything, falls madly in love with her and forgets about the rest of the world.
so the law of the world gets mad. The other gods call him back to heaven and as he ascends, they get the demon lord to kill the saintess (at least that's what I understood from how confusing everything was).
The god gets very mad that he extracts a part of himself and twists fate.
that small part of him is destined to become a demon god then he turns the one that is meant to be a demon god into a saintess. So it turns into the god killing the demon god and the fate keeps repeating itself.
until the world law realizes how much of a lunatic the god was a creates a saintess who looks like his first love. And because of this, the god turns back time after the girl ruins her life.
the conflict is these people love each other but they are fated to kill each other.
long story short, the saintess discovers that she's actually meant to be the demon lord and her guy whom she thought was the demon lord was actually part of a god.
so what these two lunatics do is to kill the main god so that they don't have to die and can live living each other. And they also kill thousands of people over a matter that could easily be solved by gathering all hell's elements and using the gods power to allow everyone to descend and closing the hell gates. But okay.
as you can see, the plot is pretty good. But the execution and the characters- lord!!!
Female Friends: She gains two "villainess" best friends in this lifetime, who are as humorous as they are endearing. Guess what passes the bechdel test? This novel does.
Cute CP Dynamic: I guess this one is a given, but they're honestly really cute. Whenever things get steamy, it is ML who steps back out of consideration while FL mischievously pounces forward.
ML POV: I love his POV chapters, they're honestly so poetic. You get a sense of his thoughts, motivations, and frustrations. I found one chapter to be especially poignant, and want to leave this pretty quote here:
"A crying woman was against the law. But all the laws in the world were useless to this woman’s tears."
