ML learned that true love is not possessive but grows from respect and consideration. So although clingy, he learns to be less black-bellied.

As the title implies, there's plentiful smexy KISSES so... *cough cough*

MC dies from falling off a tower and returns in a new body 3 years later. This is a fine, if well worn way to wrap up the story. what made it unstatisfying was that everyones memories of her were erased (including her own father who has another random daughter now) and all her friends. Only the ML remembers her, which is honestly unhealthy for the relationship. But it so kinda invalidates all these years shes spent being part of this world and interacting with people. plus, what a c*ckblock for the sacrifice she made with her death. she should be a national hero for that. Instead shes forgotten and even her dad (who has been a major character the audience attached to) has replaced her with a random insert... so was she never his daughter? was the "original" just sitting in a box somewhere waiting to get shoved back into the story?

something about kids, mby a flash forward. tell me how theyre doing in a few years. but no... we get a wedding then BOOM the end

My favorite part was ML pasting talismans on the door as insurance so FL won’t magically disappear again and the realization of both reader and FL that ML is simply scared of raising his hopes, lest he be disappointed and even more despaired

the FL returns to his world! He locked her up, just to make sure she was real and not a dream!

OG ML- ML from Orginal Plot without the FL intervening

Alternate ML- ML we know, with FL intervening

So the author introduced us to the other version of the ML in the last chapter! WTH?! This version of the ML is from the original plot. The OG ML and the "Alternate ML" (the one we know) souls get switched frequently. So when the FL was lying in bed and found out the OG ML traveled in the Alternate ML's body while her ML went to the other world, she was pretty calm and explained to the OG ML what was going on and the story on how she and the Alternate ML met.

I guess it was cute! They keep switching souls to the point the OG ML named the FL child. When the MLS were switching back places, they had to pass through this spiritual tunnel. So the OG ML confronted the Alternate ML and told him haughtily that he named his child LOL!

—---

Now do I feel as though this was needed?

No.

It just leaves us with many questions. Maybe the author was showing us that the OG ML is getting a taste of warmth too, and in his future- things will be more bearable knowing he has a family in an Alternate Universe, question mark. I'll just leave with that theory, it sounds better than what other people were saying. This theory sounds more like a HEA, instead of a HFN (happy for now) !

Some said they wish for the OG ML to find love too. But I find that kinda weird. If we were to really break it down based on that hypothetical statement, I think that would bring unnecessary hurt and drama. Because even though the OG ML is from a different universe he is still her husband and the father of her child. And knowing that her ML is switching souls frequently with the OG ML, bringing in a random woman will only hurt all parties. And knowing the OG ML, his world seems to be really cruel to the point, he is damaged and scarred by other relationships. (Remember how he reacted to the FL when his soul 1st got switched.) So although that might sound nice to some, it may cause damage to the FL relationship now that the OG ML is involved.

She's supposed to be the example what ML will do if someone gave him concubine, and ultimate what he did was... nothing? As soon as MC discovered she's a fan girl of hers, she let her help her business and was no longer mention. Or are we supposed to assume it means even if ML has a lot of concubines, MC will be the only one?

By then yikes.

the extras were good as well but I felt a bit sad for the ML of the other world who didn't have MC and only got a glimpse of what a normal life would've been like for him

The ML frequently gets injured doing tasks for the Second Prince (who will promote the ML to be the Prime Minister after ascending the throne) and the FL gets kidnapped 3 times, which was kind of annoying because the last kidnapping could have been totally avoided. In the last kidnapping she sacrificed herself so the ML could take down the First Prince (main villain and technically the ML's stepfather but the First Prince never found out that his favorite concubine (ML's mom) gave birth to the ML because of some unknown bandit (only thing we know about his father from the text was that he was attractive, he kidnapped the ML's mother and r*ped her, and died with all the other bandits after a rescue operation).

I'm also sad that everyone except the ML forgot about the FL after she died, heck even the "father" of the girl who's life she took over forgot her (when she returns to life, the original girl who looks nothing like the MC came back and lives happily with her dad). But the books she wrote still remained somehow.

and side story where ML from other dimension meets with FL. It was pretty funny when he found out he had wife in another world

Honestly was okay with her dying to prevent him from dying for her but the fact that everyone lost their memory was a bit strange??? And there was the oriFL who was there at the end. And yet the bookstores were still open?? I don't understand. Agreed with TheEthicalCo review and comments on the ending. I feel it was just such a lazy way to end it. Quite a number of plotholes imo. Drama between ML and his mother was also non-existent and strange.

Well, just read it for the fluff between FL and ML. There is nothing else of note.
