Covers does depict the end game sometimes but.... Yeah.. In this case... Like author please toast that bullshit emperor and give Bella a better man! Please have mercy on Bella
honestly....he literally SOLD HER i don't care what kind of excuse you have. and i definitely don't care what kind of "trouble man child" trope the author tries to give him to make us sympathize with him...
Urggh.... I really felt that... That feeling of disgust when the author will try to make us sympathize of his/her choice of ML...
That man is horrible in selling in off.. Even emperor's aide is disgusted by selling off Bella... In no way that I will try to but it..
We are on the same team..
Even with Abandoned Empress... I was neutral even if the FL ends up with the prince (deep inside pretty disappointed with the author's choice) ... But when I have heard of what happened to the other girl and spoilers of their 1st life... I AM NOW DISGUSTED BY THE STORY... The FL (Tia) is not revived because her deeds.. It is for that god to save face unto the prince and save the kingdom. Ugh... Tia is still a pawn in the story..
The maid knew what was up and was an OG to the end even if it meant she died. When even your closest people know what you did was fucked up...
I stopped reading the Abandoned Empress when I learned that she was just gonna end up with Blueberry boy...AGAIN. But are you serious???? So she just ends up as a pawn all over again??? This is how you KNOW the author doesn't know anything about their readers for fucks sake. Allendais may or may not be a yandere but you KNOW he would use those tendencies to HELP Tia. Ugh I'm so steamed.
Spoilers ahead:
From what I have gathered...
Jieun... The chosen girl's name fate with the prince is also fucked up after Tia's death.. She was maltreated badly by the Prince and since she also remembered of how the prince maltreated her...
She acts also different towards the prince now... She wants revenge to both Zena and the Prince for ruining her life.. She kinda hated Tia too since she is from another world and Tia is the people' empress and after Tia left... She was looked down by people.. She hated her for not telling her anything; for not being transparent to her...
In her 1st life.... She was manipulated by Zena too and is afraid to be tortured or raped because she is a fake (lie from Zena) and so... She seduced the prince to save herself..
And then because the prince went completely crazy because of the drug... The prince gave up his seat but he was also assassinated and in his last moments... He asked Tia forgiveness..
Jieun was killed by Zena with her unborn child.. In the 1st lifetime...
Jieun wanted the prince and Zena both dead.. So yeah, she still seduced him by now... By revenge not by being in fear of her life...
But her ending in her 2nd lifetime was bittersweet as well..
I can say Tia is a pawn by the god, Vita.. Since, without her being a completely different person.. The prince will not be intruiged unto her...... and the prince would still be the same person, still, being lied by Zena since the fact remains that I'm the 2nd life.. The prince is not that invested in tia at first becuase of his jealousy of Tia for his father's attention to Tia and Duchess Jeremiah saving her own daughter before him, the prince...
He is just being concerned with Tia since she much hated the fact that she will become his empress and that bothered him..
The god is just using Tia to save the kingdom from threats and to give the prince a happy ending as well.
I am sorry for using the term pawn... I think that was an exaggerated word...
About abandoned empress...
But, I guess... She changed her destiny and now, she is not now the abandoned empress but an real empress with a different side of the prince that now became the emperor... So like, she changed her destiny.. It is just the prince got affected by it...
But still... After reading the spoilers... I really felt bad for Jieun.
For me... The author is still a little bit of a jerk..
1st lifetime: Tia first killed and then Jieun.. Jieun barely had her time...
2nd lifetime: Tia became a happy empress... Jieun in death sentence; her drinking a potion to make her appear dead and exiled by Tia because of grace...
Like Jieun is the perfect example of a victim of evil schemes just like the prince but the prince got a happy ending while she ended up being tossed around... And she is just like Tia.. Maltreated in her 1st life..
...for fucks sake. the author just REALLY did not know anything about their reader huh? i feel bad for mangaka/translators because i'm pretty sure they hate this too lol.
Yeah.... The story is really fucked up
Do I realize she's going to end up with the emperor? Yes. Do I want her to? Fuck no.
