   Warning, the spoilers below contain end of novel, (including side stories) information. Available chapters where I read is up until chapter 283 and no update since 2022 so I don’t think there’s any more updates pending.

   So it turns out that her former lover has a twin brother. He hates FL because his brother is this perfect dude and righteous murim hero but loves this hated infamous villainess. He believes she is his twin brother’s only and biggest flaw which should be removed.

   He is actually in love with FL. It turns out that she was unknowingly dating both twins. See, the twin brother of her lover would pretend to be him on the days he would be away. While his regular self is very different from the Murim hero, he is still his twin. They share the same face and body. When he puts his mind to it, he can very well pretend to be him. But that’s a well-kept secret that is only discovered in the later half of the novel. He was also mad at FL for never noticing until her death that he was a different dude. But bruh she’s not the brightest bulb in the shed and she had not a clue that her lover had siblings let alone a twin. While the killer twin never admits he killed her, it’s pretty much an established fact that he’s the killer. It’s a little disappointing that it’s never truly established other than flimsy circumstantial evidence and strong suspicions. I really wish the novel had delved deeper into that. The novel I read ended at chapter 283 and frankly one or two more chapters to resolved that would’ve been nice.

   Her relationship with her first lover essentially dies because of the way she died. She can’t look at him without thinking of her killer, she can’t take revenge for it would hurt him, there’s just no way to undo what was done. I have to mention that he believed she had committed suicide (no traces of struggle and she died by eating poison) and after her death he spent most of his time mourning her hard and chasing after the fake who had been parading around claiming to be her. He quickly found out it was her real body (scars are the same) but he knew immediately it wasn’t actually her (behavior, way she moved when she fights, personality). He ends up helping a bad group of people since they have the gianshi FL but only so far as to protect her physical body. Once he finds out from FL that she was murdered by himself, he denies it. He doesn’t want to believe his twin brother could be the culprit. He also has to prove to FL that he has a twin cause she had no idea. So he takes her to his home to show her. It’s a little tricky here cause she’s now the favored concubine of the Emperor so it’s not easy to go. Conveniently, she and the Emperor have a falling out (I am completely skipping some arcs in this summary just so you know) so she runs away temporarily just to cool herself down and mostly to see if her former lover really has a twin. After it turns out to be true, her former lover has a hard time believing his twin is the killer. Distraught, he offers to take leave everything behind and live a life together somewhere far away but she counters “do you really think your family would just be okay with that and let it happen? ” They would forever live on the run, he is a righteous Murim hero and she the villainess who seduced him already. Should they run away, there would never be a happy peaceful ending for them. And she’s right. They just sort of stop meeting after that. There’s not much more. They both know it’s over and act accordingly. First lover boy is ultra pissed at his brother, after his falling out with FL, he becomes sullen and depressed, and confronts him about killing his lover (FL) which he denies. They beats each other up a little but that’s it. We don’t hear much more about him.

   There is surprisingly none. She receives help from her killer in her gianshi days (she is forced back into her original body which is now a literal heartless zombie in the course of the story and she is so hated that she is pursued non-stop, she ends up needing help for shelter) and she cannot take revenge on him without hurting her first love. But most of all, she gives up on her revenge because when she is forced away from her ML (emperor), she has ample opportunity to go for her revenge but finds herself missing her ML and their egg baby (still in womb) more than anything. She realizes that it turns out some things are more important than revenge and she concludes that she is surprisingly a much bigger/ nobler person that she had ever imagined.

   10/10.

   The art, great. The story, interesting. The characters, funny as fuck. The story will have you questioning a lot of people’s motives, relationships, and who they really are. All the while you’re laughing your ass off at the FL, for all her actions and words. Great read, and pretty artwork to match. Give it a try if you want a lil mystery and a whole lot of punching your pillow, while kicking your legs in laughter.
