The Emperor Reverses Time - Ch. 9

[infinityisntreality]

I feel like the maids alone could end that abusive family with how protective they are. Don’t mess with people who know other people with access to your food.

I really love dialogue between Character, is so funny

I remember reading a Korean novel similar to this before it got taken down. Or it could the same story since the plot is moving the same way. I dunno.
Anyway in that one the Emperor finds a ton of diaries and even goes so far as to investigate the family to see if it was true before deciding to turn back time.
But the way it described the witch, I got the impression it was deal with the devil kind of thing. Translation didn't get far before it got the C&D so I dunno.

i wanted to cry when she compared her "small and chubby hands" because a small child shouldn't have such insecurities

@Kynnath

Excuse me if I missed your sarcasm, but the decision to turn back time (and not understanding the consequences of doing so) to change history (because these events don’t just impact Lizzie’s life) for a person who he spent most of his previous life at best wary of but never even genuinely cared for (because she was so messed up by the time she got married by no fault of her own, poor baby).

And now he’s remarkably devoted to making her life happy? All of the based on reading her diary after she died? But couldn’t spare to have at least one conversation to get to understand her while she was alive? (Since she would’ve very likely still be alive in the old time line if she didn’t get poisoned and had an ounce of self-preservation. Again, poor baby.) I understand the guilt and belated grief, but this is an incredibly rash decision.

I do hope they get to explaining some things in the past that we have yet to see. Like maybe he wanted to get to know her but couldn’t understand her motives? Could ever really trust her given his position? Maybe he spent more time thinking about the disastrous consequences of time travel?

Although, I’m actually really enjoying the story (and the art), this is a plot point I had to skip over because it was really poorly fleshed out in the beginning.

But yes, now he can spend his entire life to making this girl happy. And Lizzie deserves to live in a safe space and be a kid, so I’m not mad at it. (Also, taking his time? He basically snatched that girl out of her home after 2.5 visits. Yes, she needed to get out of that home, but that was also pretty quick after just meeting her in this timeline. Lol)

Thank you for the chapter

 

[Bakkiethea]

Thank you for translating ❤️❤️❤️ I feel so bad for Liz, I hope they’ll give her the love she’ll deserve but from what I’ve seen from the empress so far I think she will ❤️

Okay, so I just want to say: Can people stop saying corsets are torture devices?
Sure, Elizabeth shouldn't be using one in such a young age and people can use corsets in a way that can be painful and unnecessary. But! After watching so many videos talking about corsets (and I know, it doesn't make me a specialist, but helps me understand more), corsets were all about support and posture. Seriously, check Bernadette Banner or Karoline Zebrowska videos about it.
Sure, depending in how you use a corset, it can be painful, but if it was so uncomfortable since the beginning, do you think the corset would have existed for so long?

Thanks for translation

@July_Daydreamer i'll take ur word on corsets bc i just don't know, but look up chinese foot binding. an objectively painful, damaging process that was done solely to be more presentable at court. considering that, corsets being painful doesn't seem too far fetched

@July_Daydreamer

I think the problem was both that Lizzie is too young to wear a corset as well as them being tied too tight. She was having a hard time breathing in her first scene, and her mom just about broke her ribs getting into one a few chapters ago. It can be assumed that the empress is wearing a corset CORRECTLY, because she seems fine. Though I do agree that this was not really stated in the text, meaning you have to read in a bit to get anything other than "corset bad."

@Vananna I figured--I just want to see what happens when the Empress and Emperor are officially informed (because they'll have proof) and what'll happen to Elizabeth's parents. I want her parents to be heavily fined and jailed tbh

 

[orange_lover77]

Some people are just writing whole essays here go off sis 🥵
I am very pleased with the development of this series yippee

 

[raven10101010]

i have always wanted a manga showing the emperors side though this manga has not ceased my hunger for it it's a good plot and a good story i like it

@July_Daydreamer
High heels are painful, but they're still around. Chemical perm and straightening creams are painful and expensive, but they're still around. Don't underestimate the tortures people will go through to look pretty.

The Emperor's 180-degree personality shift is just incredible. If he was that nice and caring a guy, he would have showed it to her long ago. To make the shift believable, the author should have included maybe one scene showing their original relationship and maybe he tried to get closer to her but it didn't work, etc. Otherwise he's just a massive jerk who underwent a sudden personality transplant, like wow.

BTW, he never bothered to find out who poisoned Elizabeth to death in the first timeline. You'd think he would check that so he could beware of them this time.

 

[Rygaran]

@July_Daydreamer with how tight the mother was using her corset i can only imagine that she was forcing elizabeth to do the same. You said it yourself, that a child shouldnt use it and that depending on how it's used it can be painful, and here we have both things.

 

[Vananna]

@maobuchou ah i thought you were wondering why they were calling for a doctor 😅. Me too! They have no excuse for doing this to a child

 

[Aslinn]

This is refreshing read to read from ML point of view. Also it's sad how just holding hand with a grown up is so alien for FL.

 

[Khulmach]

And just like that, the injuries on Elizabeth's body will be discovered and the Royal family will hate those two Elysium so much.
