![]() ![]() Their dynamic was really cute and I loved the joke about how her father secretly wanted her to address him as Papa, instead of the more formal greeting Aristia usually used. ![]() I especially liked seeing how she was able to use this do-over to build a closer relationship with her father, who had always been awkward with her before. I found Aristia to be a very sympathetic character and I’m rooting for her to find happiness. While she was always intelligent, Aristia is now seen as being brilliant thanks to her insights, and she uses this perception to try and alter events and forge a new future. Her mind has traveled back in time and she has the advantage of her knowledge of events in the future, plus all of that training she did in preparation of becoming Empress. This is all made even sadder when we later learn the reason Aristia had such strong feelings for Ruveliss, despite his poor treatment of her.īut now Aristia has the chance to turn things around. ![]() She had to endure multiple heartbreaking events and Ruveliss was always nasty to her, despite the fact that she was in love with him and had spent her entire life trying to mold herself into the perfect partner for him.

Having unexpectedly been given a second chance at living her life, Aristia is determined to alter her fate and avoid getting embroiled with Ruveliss. Then, Aristia wakes up in the body of her ten-year-old self back in the time before she moved into the royal palace and was still living on her family’s estate. ![]() Having lost everything, Aristia can only curse the fact that she had ever loved Ruveliss in her final moments. Ruveliss (unfortunately) survives and sentences her to death for treason. Stuck doing all of the behind the scenes work for the Empress while Jieun basks in the love and affection that Ruveliss never showed to her, Aristia endures a series of humiliations, abuses and tragedies – until she finally snaps! Her mental state having deteriorated from grief, Aristia attacks the emperor in a fit of rage and despair. ![]()
