How to Perfectly Break Up with You

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I was born into the most noble status, but my end was insignificant.

No one was allowed to trample on me. I only wished to reign in a position that everyone could look up to.

But that greed ultimately took away all those I loved.

My beloved daughter and the only man I ever loved.

When my daughter met her demise, the Emperor, who had been looking for an opportunity to remove me, did not miss his chance. That’s how I ended up imprisoned, waiting for the day I would disappear. My life came to a halt the moment Declan pulled the trigger towards his own head.

***

The man who loved me the most, while hating me the most, left my side, bearing all the guilt.

‘I hope we never cross paths again in the next life.’

That was all he said.

So in this life, I want to distance myself from you forever.

To completely part ways with you, my beloved.

I came looking for spoilers and learned only that apparently I have to take the brave plunge. I can only say that I’ve been crying non stop reading this. But I wanted a novel like that I guess.!

... more>>
Spoiler

I can say that I am desperately hoping for a happy ending. I’m thinking yes there will be because it’s so sad rn there’s no way it’ll end a tragedy...

[collapse]

It’s an amazing at doing past flashbacks. Sometimes a bit too amazing because it makes me too sad and I kind of wish I didn’t know this about their past. In essence, a lot of things went wrong in both of their lives.

Every single thing in this story is tragic and political intrigue and replacements and secret plots and nothing is as it should be. It’s very good but I’m crying and hoping for happiness. It’s a lot of angst.

Why the MC died:

Spoiler

Her daughter accidentally took the MC’s pain / sleep medication - bc after MC miscarried, she had to have her uterus removed to survive (as per husbands wish) and the removal left her with pain so crippling she takes insane levels of medication to mitigate. Daughter died. She lost her mind. Emperor, who is MC brother, hates her and ordered her death saying she poisoned her child to death. She survived because her husband gave up his whole life and took the blame of their daughter dying in order for his wife to live. She died via su*cide.

[collapse]

Her relationship with her brother, the emperor, as of where I am now:

Spoiler

Probably the villain of the story. He hates her because her mother took his father (the emperor) love from his mother. This is also not really true because MC mother was actually the fiancée of the emperors older brother. Emperor older brother died - suspecting plot bc everything in this story is plot and death and secret mu*der - and emperor took his wife. This led the MC’s brothers mom to fall out of favour. MC brother never forgave MC for this even though clearly their parents fault.

[collapse]

Emperor father relationship with MC

Spoiler

UNDOUBTEDLY a shitty father to all his kids. He loved MC most actually I’m pretty sure after her mom committed treason (actual crimes have not been explained yet) he never forgave her mom for some reason. Killed MC’s mom that he loved so much, MC’s mom’s entire family. As result, MC fell from favour. Because of mom being a traitor, he never spoke word to her basically was very cruel and mean to her face. This led to a lot of inferiority and probably the first and root of all of her personality issues.

But actually he loved her the most I’m pretty sure. He had another illegitimate child with a maid, a girl, who looks like a copy (bad) of MC. Treats this new daughter the same spoiling and love and everything that MC used to have. Therefore MC super jealous. BUT ACTUALLY he accidentally super sleepy called this illegitimate child MC’s name, which made the kid realise that she’s just being taken as MC’s replacement.

sad. This illegitimate child became known to be the most favoured child of emperor... but she secretly knows... she’s actually MC copy for the emperor... lord I cried so hard.

[collapse]

literally everyone has issues. It’s annoyingly 3D and realistic.

MC personality in past + now

Spoiler

lowkey I hated MC asf in first like 5 chapters. Just a bit*h to her husband who’s trying to save her but actually... 😭😭😭 after reading the flashbacks slowly over time I totally get it. MC behaviour 100% justified. Everything that was meant to be hers was taken and ruined. She has every reason to be like this. Honestly I wouldn’t have lasted as long as she had. But yeah she’s definitely caustic asf in her old life but she needed to be because no one is on her side. EXCELT THE DUKE AND SHE DIDNT EVEN KNOW.

she’s super sad and calm in this new life. I get it.

[collapse]

Why her relationship with duke is so messed up... husband I mean. Up to c67

Spoiler

She thought she manipulated him into marriage so she could re enter politics sort of and take revenge against her brother for how they all treated her. But actually... the duke fell in love ages ago... classics I also doubted if the duke actually loves her but I can 100% say yes. He just never understood it himself - well with a wife like this - and both of their upbringings were just the right amount of tragic that the two don’t feel secure to love. I’m still learning via flashbacks what exactly went wrong during marriage to make them not feel confident telling each other they loved each other.

MC also resented husband in past life because he never seemed to love her only her child. I think vice versa.

everyone literally also hates her for her mothers identity so she was always surrounded by talk that her husband was too good for him. So she always felt too guilty and undeserving for ‘dragging him down’...

[collapse]

The husband... the ML... does he love MC?

Spoiler

thank god. Yes. He always has. Oh my god I was so scared. But yes

[collapse]

Does MC love ML?

Spoiler

this I actually don’t know. I think she almost did but then again, something happened idk yet, so she never opened her heart fully and admitted it. She loved her child af tho.

[collapse]

MC past life what went wrong?

Spoiler

f*cking everything. I can’t even type it out. She thinks it’s because she made wrong choices but imo a lot of it was set in stone and she was super powerless. I don’t blame her for her choices lowkey. Like

1) not her fault her mother traitor or whatever and she lost fathers love and therefore all her prestige and messed up her upbringing

2) not her fault she didn’t receive anything via fathers will - spoiler it was tampered lol via brother ofc he’s evil - forcing her out the capital and resorting to clinging to duke

3) not her fault she felt super inferior compared to duke because everyone saying that

4) not her fault She jealous of her siblings and acted crazy

5) not her fault her kid died

like idk dude it’s super depressing

[collapse]

Do they get happy ending ??

I let yall know if I finish... if I can stick out crying for 100 more chapter.

What happened to ML family?

Spoiler

mom dad sister died via engineered carriage accident by emperor. Because emperor thought his wife was having affair with ML dads wtf? Don’t get why but emperor super paranoid apparently.

[collapse]

Who does MC get married to in new life??

Spoiler

hopefully ML but I sense a lot of pain... apparently in past life, this never came to light via various circumstances, but emperor father on deathbed tried to make arrangements for her to marry foreign prince and keep her safe. Soooo that’s thrown into mix bc its been brought to life in this second life.

[collapse]

oh about the rebirth aspect - early novel spoiler like first 6 chapters so soft spoiler

Spoiler

they both remember their past life. No they don’t tell each other. No they don’t know each other remembers. Yes they carry insane guilt. Yes this big hindering the story. Yes contributing to tragedy bc MC doesn’t want ML to get dragged by her. Girl he wants to be dragged by you </3

A very interesting beginning. I've read 35 chapters so far. The story is full of sad reflection of the characters. The feelings and experiences of the characters are true. Sometimes it all seems hopeless, but maybe there will still be a happy ending. Although it's hard to imagine now. It's been well written so far. I hope the sequel will be worthy.

My assessment is for the beginning of the story.
