Living Tribunal

He is a supporter of the second prince in this life because he wants to take revenge against Li Chuan (the Crown Prince).

Yes, he is reincarnated too and was the one behind poisioning her.

Making someone jealous doesn't mean that you love them. It isn't right to make someone you love jealous. If she had really lost her feelings for SML, she wouldn't have tried to make ML jealous by meeting with SML, knowing how insecure ML is about SML due to constant comparisons by everyone and their past relations. I don't know what you read, but even while being in the background, SRQ was always in her heart at the start. She started warming up to ML more in the novel after the whole fiasco at his uncle's house. Even when they were kissing and having s*x, she wasn't acknowledging it as her feelings for him despite the constant flirting between them. It was only after she became pregnant that she acknowledged she had affections for him.

They won't because there wasn't any in the novel.

Actually, she didn't ask for a divorce outright. Instead, she gave him options: either divorce her and lose everything he had gained, or let her take the 'guest' and be allies with her, but only at the start of their relationship problems. Divorcing her would mean no chance of a future with her, however slim it might be, and losing the positions he had gained through his hard work. So, he chose not to divorce her and became allies with her. After that, in the novel, the ML begged for forgiveness many times, but still, she didn't soften her heart.

His main purpose is actually taking revenge for his family massacre by the Crown Prince. He will support Consort Rou and will mainly try to get close to FL for his reasons.

Yeah he did come from the same past as that of ML and FL. He is trying to take revenge for his family massacre in the past life.

If they follow the novel, which they are strictly following with minor changes, then ML will be the only one to make efforts to get back together with her even after the divorce. She is very limited in her romantic actions towards him.

Yes, he did

Will the drama be watched only by female viewers and not by any male viewers? The part you said about "It's pretty much always been the exact opposite in fiction where the female character constantly gets her ego crushed by a terrible, toxic, rude man, fixes his personal issues and traumas, and has to beg for his love in the end as well" was true, but not for the last 6-7 years. The mindset of people has evolved, and they don't want to watch a naive FL begging for the love of a toxic ML after changing him. Rather, the opposite is being done now, with FLs in dramas having good and kind-natured SMLs, while the MLs have either bitchy/bad SFLs or none at all, going as far as making him a pseudo-virgin who is incapable of loving someone else other than the FL. I and the majority of male viewers wouldn't have any problem if it was done only once, but for the last 2-3 years, every drama is following the same trope as mentioned above. Second-chance dramas, if both of the leads are equally at fault, are only enjoyable when both show efforts and have equal tension because it can either make you root for only one of the characters or for both of them, but not for them together. Their efforts determine how well a viewer connects with them emotionally. If a man did something bad to you in reality, then I'm sorry in regards to him, but aren't you being hypocritical and categorizing all of us men as bad people just because of a few bad experiences you had with them?

Hey guys, do you think we will get to see their two kids from the novel in the drama as well?

Yes, I agree she is all the things you said and deserves an SML to increase tension in the drama. However, my problem or majority of the male viewers problem wasn't with her having an SML but rather the lack of an SFL for the ML. The ML is also handsome, a top scholar, and well-educated, from a decent family. So shouldn't he also have an admirer or someone to at least make the FL equally jealous, as the ML was due to the closeness of SRQ and the FL? The only one who could have taken that position was QZZ, who was taken care of in episode 7. These second-chance romance dramas require tension and equal efforts from both leads, with a proper balance of jealousy from both sides. However, as I have read the novel, it will not be the case here, as the majority of the time only the ML made the efforts, with minimal efforts from the FL. So my problem is with the writer of the drama, not the characters themselves.

Aren't you doing the same thing, then calling me a hypocrite? You're defending a fictional character like the FL, clearly knowing both were at fault for the relationship troubles equally, but still saying the ML treated her like shit. Actually, people, including me, don't have any problems with your opinions, but the way you said it by saying the ML treated her like shit was not appropriate. You could have used a different approach by saying both hurt each other badly. The majority of the comments on this page are saying the FL is such a badass for treating the ML the way she has been, with a few comments calling her annoying so I don't know why you are having any problem. I am not obsessing over a fictional character; rather, you are, because you are making personal insults to me over a fictional character. I and the majority of the commenters didn't even say any bad things to you but are just giving counterarguments.

No, they only found out about his rebirth late in the novel, so I believe the leads will also discover it very late. Yes, the Crown Prince had a good life in current timeline.

Where did you see the ML treating the FL poorly? You are judging the ML's character based on just eight episodes, claiming he mistreats the FL. In the novel, they both hurt each other equally. Furthermore, the reason most people are upset with the FL is that she continues to fall for the SML despite knowing he killed her in her previous life. Additionally, it's quite unbalanced that only the FL has a SML to make the ML jealous, while the ML has no SFL which makes people mad.
