disclaimer: SPOILERS ARE MTL, TAKE IT LIKE A PINCH OF SALT
this story is actually quite frustrating. the ml doesnt treat the fl right, he only knows how to buy someones affection thru money and we all know that fl fell inlove w him at first sight so she feels extremely lonely bc no one is ever by her side, not even her own husband :<
- chapter 8 spoilers (novel) (by user ascendance)
"As you guys all know, Violet is miserable being in a marriage with Winter, so as soon as she can, she approaches him and asks for a divorce. (I am all for this bc Violet deserves happiness and Winter is not exactly the most considerate ML rn) He was surprised, didn't speak for a bit, and then told her that she can divorce anytime she wants. He ruins this though by saying that he has to get back all the money he spent on her, which was like 24 million, and he makes it even worse by mentioning how there is interest of how she has been a wife for three years and she has been lying on the bed (i'm assuming he meant she has been in his residence, like a free home?). She's desperate, so she starts mentioning about how she will pay him back and that she just wants a divorce. He, of course, doesn't allow it and she starts asking why he hates her. He doesn't understand why she asked, and I mean, how do you not realize how bad you were treating your wife?? I think he closes the door on her eventually. :( poor mc - the only other thing I remember from this chapter is that she meets up with a woman named Catherine (winter's step mother) and her husband, who find out that she's trying to divorce Winter. They're using her? That part confused me, but Catherine calls for two maids and they lock her up in a closet. (according to the mtl and im sorry, she must have appeared before but i dont remember and im sure the husband is relevant too)
She laments, angry at her brother for not keeping his promise and thinking that as long as money is involved, she will never be able to divorce him."
- next body swap (by user ascendance)
"I think she tried to kill herself again??? WITH A GUN??????? but this will happen at the end of chapter 9 and beginning of chapter 10"
- on the banquet (by user ascendance)
"Chapter 11 - Winter, who is in Violet's body, will attend her banquet in her place, and he's going to realize that no one is close to his wife. No one talks to her, and no one approaches her. At the end of the chapter, he's going to leave and try to look for his wife, who is in his body. She straight up disappeared on him so..."
- violet's mom (by user ascendance)
"Violet meets her mom, and her mom is talking about how her brother is having a hard time and how the throne was rightfully his. I believe the eldest brother died before, so the mom is incredibly protective of her only son now. I do believe she loves Violet, but when Violet started talking about how unhappy she was, the mom reacts poorly and only further made her feel neglected by not only her husband but also her mother."
- chapter 15 novel (by user ascendance)
"This chapter actually starts off pretty good for Violet because Winter actually attends a party and she will be really happy to be able to introduce Winter as her husband to others, a privilege she never got. On their way home, Violet mentions how she wants to talk, and he says that if it is about divorce, it is not necessary. But it isn't about divorce. She starts saying how if she can't divorce, she wants to talk about having a child. I was so happy for her, but the MAN SAYS THERE IS NO NEED AND REJECTS HER. Apparently, she has brought up the conversation several times in the past and he has always put it off but mentions that the pain she felt those moments never compared to being neglected by her husband."
- spoilers abt FAKE PREGNANCY (by user Musiciati)
"At some point Violet thinks she is pregnant and Winter Doesn't believe it and ask if she had an affair. Apparently there is a reason why Winter and Violet couldn't conceive, but Violet didn't know that, and was disappointed by Winter, who doubted her. It turns out that the pregnancy is not real. Apparently, Violet was given a medicine that could make the mother-in-law misunderstand that she was pregnant. Violet is about to leave and asks Winter, who is holding onto her, how to change her body and shoots a gun in from of her eyes in Winter?? (translation was kind of rough)...She leaves and settles in a village with a help of a friend and Winter watching Violet, tries to commit suicide, but he finds out that he can't die as he pleases, he ask Violet for three months or so and approaches."
- more details on fake pregnancy, why apparently ml and fl cant have a baby (by user Musiciati)
"So the reason why a child was thought to be not possible was the fact that ML is an illegitimate heir of a different family than the duke, the clan that ML is a part of is very closed or secretive Kanik clan, and if a mixed race that is not of the same clan, there cannot be a child, so that's why there wasn't a possibility of a child between the royal blood of FL, which only the ML and the Duchess knew.
Their relationship improved and he wanted to create a warm family for the lonely FL, and ML wants a child, but he knew he couldn't and didn't tell FL, bc she would be disappointed.
The Duchess is the one who gave the medicine that showed fake pregnancy symptoms and so FL thought she was and didn't know how the ML would feel, but she felt anxious and happy.
So, when ML finds out that FL is pregnant, he suspects FL infidelity and rants at FL.
Apparently, the workers knew she wasn't pregnant, but kept gaslighting her by giving her baby shoes as gifts too. (how cruel)
The quack (fake) doctor ran away and a new doctor revealed the conspiracy and that shocked FL, since she's been thinking of how she would decorate the room for the baby.
FL then decides to leave ML, and she didn't want to commit suicide and die because then she would switch bodies to the ML and instead decides to travel far instead of trying to die.
FL tried to leave without a word, but ML tries to stop her and then FL shows him how the body switching works and after seeing how the key is suicide, his mentality is shattered and didn't stop FL from leaving.
After FL left, he became more conscious and appears in front of FL and says that the divorce adjustment period is necessary and asked for a 3 month grace period.
So the ML and FL spend time together for the 3 months and get to know and understand each other more
The ML believes that FL will be happy if she has no confidence? He decides to commit suicide after the 3 months and leave FL with all his assets as a legacy (The reviewer and I agree that the idea is stupid and why couldn't they talk to each other, before doing such extreme actions, like you love each other why would you do that?!?)
After ML's death, the FL is set to be remarried? and the priority is to reinstate the royal family. ML finds out he is still alive. FL is back and is being dictated by the Prince and something about marriage (idk the translation was rough).
FL has a remarriage plan by snatching her own doctor?
Since FL hasn't divorced ML, ML asks her to reconsider the divorce.
FL says she felt like she would die because she hated divorce and the ML accepts the FL proposal.
The Kanik clan has some sort of 'god-given opportunity' or magic that is the reason behind the changing of bodies with each other and clear up any misunderstandings. It also a characteristic that descends from the lineage of the male lords, and there is a certain phenomenon that occurs only with companions when special conditions are satisfied, so maybe that's why they can have children later.
Apparently, in the side story, they either want or they have a son who looks like the FL and a daughter that looks like the ML."
- spoiler abt the scum prince aka brother (by user Musiciati)
"Wow, what a scum, he considers Violet like a property to buy and sell and doesn't regard her position at all. So he scams Winter by making him pay the royal family a huge amount of money and then took away about 90% of income through paperwork on Violet's land. Also, he opposes Violet's divorce, in case his money flow will be cut off, and pretends to be farming and gaining public sentiment from the people, but is actually living off with Violet's money."
- some cute spoiler (by user Musiciati)
"According to a comment on the KakaoPage, I think around chapter 154, Winter cancels his business trip to the north, due to the confirmed arrival of their baby"
ive no idea how its possible but this time the baby is real, not a scam by the duchess
According to some reviews here are some of the chapters where important events happen for our couple. (MTL)
**Seeing the chapter titles, I can see how this story is a psychological, full of regret, emotional story and not your usual happier romance fantasy, but still is an intriguing story of redemption of two people.
