I've read this twice. I had to confirm my thoughts on it, thinking maybe, just maybe I was being to harsh. But no.
So I liked the idea of this manwha, it reminded me of Doctor Elise where instead of this being a novel isekai a female modern world girl reincarnates in, this girl gets a second chance to change her destiny, her fate and that of her family with a do-over. Aristia actually had a chance, and she is taking it. Doing everything in her power, mustering every ounce of strength to distance herself from her fated sad, lonely and deadly cage. She even swears revenge against her torturer love. Unlike Doctor Elise, Aristia has severe PTSD where the bare mention of her fiance the prince makes her go into a state of complete shock and comatose state at times.
But I feel that now after almost 90 chapters, she has become the prince great obsession. Geez... Who could have seen this coming? And that he was already in love with this girl, long before the series started. I could only imagine the same love/obsession but shown as deep hate in her previous life that prince had with her. Too easy... That he would rather torture her, rape her, destroy her and kill her instead of admitting his love for her because of certain circumstances. That and his failing in keeping a promise to her mother to protect her. And the perfect promise child prophecy he kept hearing (to be honest, that would be the only part I would actually feel sorry for him. Can you blame the guy for always being compared to her on everything for years.) But then, the new girl from the modern world shows up, the oracles then say she was actually meant to be your bride and empress blah blah blah, and suddenly poof! he doesn't hate the prophecy, he loves it. Yeah no...
The last bit is me just saying it out right now, dear Aristia will most probably fall in love with the prince she is trying to so desperately trying to run away from. Arg!! barf.... After everything he's done, she'll end up with him... Why not right? Plus, I feel like she doesn't hate him anymore and totally forgot about her revenge/ curse the hell out of him. Maybe when the heroine shows up, she will curse both of them or fall into a depression where the prince will be the only one to snap her out of it declaring his love to her and her alone...
Just once, I would hope for the story to differ from it's original premise and have a completely different ending. Like maybe Aristia ending up with Allen... But that will never happen. Seems that now instead of being mistakenly fated, the prince just works hard to get to know her and have her fall in love with him. Damn.. I hope I am wrong but that is just wishful thinking :(
Do I recommend?
The problem is that it is good. And lots of people like it, I just feel like it will lose value in the long run ... ...
