I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Allendis confesses to his crimes and goes into exile to protect Aristia from himself.

Jerkass: During the first timeline, Ruveliss treated Aristia like trash. His second timeline counterpart completely averts this via Character Development. More than Mind Control: In the original timeline, Ruve and Tia were both drugged to make their emotions wilder and harder to control, meaning they'd say and do things they normally wouldn't. The underlying emotions were still there. However, the knowledge that they're being drugged means Tia can stop taking it before it causes permanent damage to her body and Ruve can continue taking it to fool the attempted assassins while actively suppressing his emotions rather than letting them rage. Yen Press, the prolific US-based publisher of manga, and light novels, announced they would be publishing the first English physical release of The Abandoned Empress, the popular Korean webcomic written by Yuna with art from iNA. The Abandoned Empress is a beloved work originally published by D&C Webtoon, the company responsible for the worldwide phenomenon Solo Leveling, True Beauty, and horror series Sweet Home, which has been adapted into a live-action show in Netflix.

Alternative Titles

From what I’ve heard, (and again, beware of spoilers) the female lead ends up with the same shithead who killed her child in her previous life, her dad and eventually her too. She was reborn for a reason! To enact revenge on this same piece of trash! But what does she do instead? She ENDS UP WITH HIM AGAIN! I mean, that’s what I’ve heard. And I hold no doubt that that is what actually happens. So why am I reading this when I know it’s shit? Well, you’ve asked a very good question. In all honestly, I just wanted to see what all the talk was about, and maybe I just felt like reading a trashy story. Then you may also ask, since you’ve admitted that this is trashy, why are you rating this volume four stars and not one? Again, good question. I am going into this trying my best to pretend that I don’t know how the story ends, even though I obviously do. Considering that, I will rate each individual volume honestly, based off of what I currently think it deserves. So far? I’d say this volume suggests the story has potential, seeing as the female lead does not want anything to do with the male lead again. I know that’s not how it will end, but had I been reading this not knowing that, this is what my rating will be, so I will leave it that way for now. What I rate the last volume does will not have anything to do with this rating. So much happens in this volume, because I’m not done talking yet. She meets the chancellor’s genius second son, who becomes infatuated with her and proposes to her at first meeting. Yes, a 13-year-old proposes to a 10-year-old. You are not imagining things. Her possessive father (HAHAHA) hears this and disapproves immediately! He announces that he needs to learn to be good with a sword and not just his brain if he wants to go anywhere near his daughter, and only as a friend at that. The chancellor’s son takes on the challenge because he really wants to marry—I mean become friends with our female lead. How cute, HAHAHA. Of course, I’ll take anyone over the dipshit crown prince. I’ve run out of names to call him at this point. About Carsein, he is Tia's protector to the end. He's a very nice and reliable friend/brother to her. But sadly, his love is unrequited and he has to give up on it when Tia accepts Ruve's hand.

To do that, Keirean swore the binding oath (an oath that requires his death if he breaks it) to the emperor, offering his unllimited support and loyalty to the crown in exchange for a wish. And emperor Mirkan who had been waiting for Keirean's surrender agrees to his wish and breaks his engagement to his sister (Carsein's mum).

Thus 2nd timeline (2TL) Tia shows her emotions more and Ruve, seeing Tia showing all these emotions and laughing with Karsein and Allen, realizes she is not unfeeling and cold. La emperatriz abandonada es una historia sobre el destino y como Aristia decide romper esa línea impuesta por el dios Vita para poder forjar su propio camino. It’s too soon for Aristia to know that her life has already changed, thanks to the first steps she took once she awoke as a little girl. Not only her own life, but also the lives of the people closest to her will change—for good or bad, we don’t yet know, but I can’t wait to find out. Easily Forgiven: Jieun specifically calls Aristia out on how she refuses to hold a grudge against the crown prince for What he did in the original timeline. This is played with as the crown prince in the current timeline has nothing to do with the actions of his alternate self, and is ultimately a very different person. No Sympathy: Tia's response to Jeiun's legitimate grievances with her situation are met only with increasing anger as Tia does not really want to understand or empathize with someone whose sheer existence upends everything Tia has worked her whole life for. She doesn't care that Jeiun's own life has also been kinda ruined by this whole situation and she has no ability to make her own choices.

Allen wants to inherit the household, thinking he is better than his brother, but the parents think it's unfair, since the oldest son is supposed to inherit. The massive complaint and argument that is bound to be found when talking about The Abandoned Empress is the ending. Specifically, the fact that Aristia ends up with Ruve. This caused many a reader to stop reading after they found out about the ending due to the abuse that the original Ruve had put on her and believe that even if he changed in the new timeline, they don't accept it as it comes across as an Unfortunate Implications that Tia ends up with the man who abused her in the past (I.E, the original timeline), and would rather have Tia be paired with Carsein or Allendis. However, there is a second party who are accepting it with the argument that Aristia is paired with a Ruve who changed and end up being kinder towards her due to For Want Of A Nail effects in play, and shouldn't be held accountable for the actions of the original timeline Ruve, considering them as different individuals. Then there's the middle ground: those who find the fact uncomfortable but still continue to read despite knowing that regardless to see how the webcomic adaptation handles this and eventually accepting how the matter is handled or they don't.

The FL experienced the cruelty of the ML first-hand and she didn't came from the modern world and then got reincarnated into her favourite novel (Just like "Who Made Me A Princess").

Let’s clear the most obvious problem from our plates first - this premise is clearly Xerox’d from any number of villainess revenge stories that are popular in light novels right now. From the suitors in waiting to the ‘I am super clever because of foreknowledge’ angle, precious little is new in this book. Dramatic Irony: Played tragically in the original timeline as Ruve moments before dying, takes solace in the fact that at least he'll be together in death with Aristia, not knowing that by then, she reincarnated and is brought into her younger self via Time Travel. In the end he ends up dying well and truly alone without realizing it. It's not the typical, popular, mainstream romance story that pleases everybody. It's not for those who are thirsting for the more popular flowery romance story. I don't think it intends to be one. Not that i hate the more popular story. But it is perfect for those who are looking for a change of pace, who are willing to open their minds to a boarder perspective on things, and those who loves stories that is not bluntly obvious as how things are to be expected.The author portrays her as a weak character, and I didn’t like her much at the beginning. I actually thought she was pretty annoying. Why wouldn’t she leave to find a better life somewhere else? Why would she accept the abuse? I still cannot wrap my mind around it. I started liking her when she gets another chance at life. She comes to realise her mistake in hoping for a love that could never happen, and soon she’s ready to take her destiny into her own hands. And I’m all here for that. Also, don't forget that Tia inheriting her household makes it impossible for her to become Empress (due to some rules and stuff), so how can Tia be power-hungry and out to manipulate him, Ruve, when she appears to want to break off the engagement? Heir Club for Men: Averted. Tia attempting to inherit the position of marquis is not considered that remarkable in itself and is only considered odd because she shouldn't really be the heir for completely different reasons. On the other hand, the imperial throne is reserved for men; whether it's possible to inherit through a female relative is never touched upon. And when Jieun, our isekai insert girl, turns out to be less pure than expected, it’s a whole other kettle of fish. It’s a clever wrinkle that she starts off very nice, but slowly warps over time out of misplaced jealousy and spite. There’s an interesting idea behind the story that fate has gone completely haywire and the time reversal is there to fix it.
