Spoilers : The Abandonned Empress

Analysis : Ji-Eun and some others things related

Those spoilers are all from novel updates.

All I did is sumerising them.

Also, don't take me wrong, I'm absolutely not trying to defend Ruve but I still wish to explain why things happened the way they did in this timeline.
I just want to give the rationale for the actions of the first timeline.

So, Ji-Eun is basically an average 16 years old Korean girl.

Imagine getting thrown into a game of thrones setting at 16. She lost her friends and family and is completely alone in the new world.

Zena tells Ji-Eun about all the s**t that goes down and basically says "If you don't manage to get Prince Ruve's support, you will probably get raped and killed cause the politics here are deadly".

He also tells Ji-Eun "Ruve is desperate for love, so just be happy and smiling and tell him you love him". So Ji-Eun, terrified for her life, does everything she can to seduce Ruve and he falls in love with her because she is "honest" with her feelings and "innocent".

But the feelings of Ruve toward Jieun were merely affection. Not love.

Thus Tia becomes the "abandoned empress" and Ji-Eun the actual empress and the Empire is triving.

You ought to read Jieun's POV in the novel since the comic portrays Jieun as a villain and a girl who interfered in the romance between Tia and Ruve. In the beginning of the comic, the story is told by Tia, so readers think Tia's a victim but you don't know the others' angles such as Jieun, Ruve. In fact, Tia is extremely cold in the timeline 1.

Jieun didn't love Ruve in the start and tried to be friends with Tia but Tia rejected Jieun many times. Tia didn't give Jieun a chance as she detested Jieun because Jieun stole her position as Empress and Ruve's love.

You forget that Jieun rejected Ruve and stopped him from stepping into her chamber, Jieun did all of that because of Tia. When Jieun knew Tia was pregnant, she was angry because she didn't know Tia slept with Ruve.

Don't forget that Jieun is a modern girl and it's unacceptable to have a husband who has another woman and their child.

For me the only BAD person in this story only DUKE JENNA

For jieun, we can't say she's good or bad person, she's just a type of person who will do anything to survive and stay alive "if with kill u i can survive, i will be a killer"
(" i don't love you, but if i'm married with u can help me to stay alive i'll do it" )
Don't forget, maybe she's a person who "kill" tia in 1st life but she's also a same person who save tia from death in 2nd life

Just imagine u're only a high school girl and suddenly u come to a palace in.other world, involved with aristocracy battle and at the end u being killed, and u got a chance to have 2nd life but u end up being exiled to other country and ur beautiful black hair turn into white forever, ( if i become jieun seriously i wanna killed Vita who bring me to unknown world LOL )

For 1st life tragedy, if u read from tia POV ( from manhwa) we will say ruve and jieun are the bad one, but after u read another side of story from ruve/jieun perspective.
We will have "understanding" feeling why they become like that in 1st life..... ( i think 90% reader haven't ready a side story from ruve and jieun POV ).

So.

Tia is executed.

And now that Tia is gone, Ji-Eun must now do all of Tia's duties.
