Tearmoon Empire	comment	Mia Luna Tearmoon is a selfish princess of the fallen Tearmoon Empire who, after being captured in the wake of the revolution that overthrew her, is sentenced to death by guillotine for her numerous crimes. With her last breath, she takes a look at the setting sun as the blade cleaves her head right off....Only for Mia to wake up back in her bedroom afterward, 8 years younger. She thought her execution was a dream, but her bloodstained diary, which has everything she had written prior to her execution, reveals that Mia has reincarnated back in time into her younger self. Knowing the fate of her future and scared of having to go through the guillotine once again, she knows she has one chance to set things right, and it's up to her to fix everything bad going on in the Tearmoon Empire, including her own selfish actions, to avoid repeating the same outcome. Hilarity ensues as Mia finds out the hard way that it's not as easy as it sounds, and old habits die hard.Tearmoon EmpireOriginal title ãƒ†ã‚£ã‚¢ãƒ ãƒ¼ãƒ³å¸�å›½ç‰©èªž / Tiamuun Teikoku Monogatari, literally "Story of the Tearmoon Empire" is a Light Novel series written by Nozomu Mochitsuki and illustrated by Gilse, originally starting as a web novel in 2018 before being officially published in print in 2019, and later localized worldwide by J-Novel Club in 2020.A manga adaptation by Mizu Morino began in 2019, with an official English translation released by J-Novel Club starting in 2022.

Tearmoon Empire / int_101500e	comment	Beneath Notice: If Mia approaches Chaos Serpent's Hostage Situation with bodyguards, their spies will notice and warn the hostage takers. The hostage takers would then cancel the current assassination attempt and kill the hostage as punishment. But if Mia were to request assistance from an unusually intelligent horse, they probably wouldn't even notice.

Tearmoon Empire / int_11dd3268	comment	Empire with a Dark Secret: The Tearmoon Empire's foundational myth and even its very purpose is a malicious lie. Even the Imperial Family, descendants of the First Emperor, forgot his secret, only one of the four Dukes and a secret society allied with the First Emperor know the true reason for its creation. Supposedly, the conquerors who founded Tearmoon were a tribe of hunters, and the military advantage that gave them over the farmers of Tearmoon led them to ridicule the very concept and ban farming the most fertile region in the world. In truth, The First Emperor was an intelligent and vicious madman who swore vengeance against the entire world for some personal tragedy. He conquered the most fertile land and formed the Tearmoon Empire's anti-agricultural culture in order to deprive the world of it during a famine he planned on his followers engineering. His followers would then use the resulting chaos to bring the world to ruin.

Chaos Serpents, a group of religious (implied to be demon-worshipping) anarchists. They turn out to be behind many of the disasters that befall Tearmoon, Belluga, et cetera, manipulating events to cause rebellions and famines, assassinating key figures, arranging for incompetent people to gain power, all specifically to destabilize the world. Notably, they were a complete unknown until Mia accidentally revealed them, sending one of their terrorists to Belluga for Rafina to deal with. Amongst other things, they have a violent reaction to the teachings of the Central Orthodox Church.

Tearmoon Empire / int_19b6f396	type	Alternate Timeline
Tearmoon Empire / int_19b6f396	comment	Alternate Timeline: There are many timelines in the story, due to the future diary changing with every action Mia does: Original timeline: Mia is captured by Sion, Tiona and the Revolutionaries when she was 17 after Tearmoon falls to ruin due to financial difficulties, famine, and plague. She is held in a dungeon and tortured until she was 20, when she was put to death by Dion via guillotine. Timeline A: This is the timeline at roughly the start of the series, with Mia having returned to her 12 year old body with her memories intact and her diary from 8 years in the future with her. This timeline ends when she prevents Ludwig from being sent to Redmoon and earns his lifelong support and respect. Timeline B: Ludwig working for the empire earlier and with her support leads to financial reforms, but the plague and famine still occur, causing the uprising and Mia's death via guillotine. Timeline C: In Timeline B, Mia reads her diary and investigates the Newmoon District and prevents a plague, while also having Ludwig stockpile rations in case of a famine. In this future, Mia has some defenders, such as Sion and the citizenry of Newmoon, leading to better treatment but still her meeting her end at the guillotine due to the famine and Tiona, who despite their new friendship would still end up blaming Mia for the massacre of the Lulu tribe and her father's assassination. Also notably, Abel—who in the original timeline had nothing to do with Mia and was assassinated in his own country—instead dies young in this one, trying to rescue her while Anne meets Uncertain Doom when trying to save Mia as well. Timeline D: At the start of Volume 2, a.k.a in Timeline C, Mia reads her diary and makes this timeline by preventing the famine through making a trade route with the Forkroad company and prevents the massacre of Sealence Forest, which also saves Dion's squad. This results in her diary vanishing as she no longer meets her end at the guillotine, instead she is poisoned sometime after giving birth to Miabel's mother. An offhand mention goes to a variant timeline of this in which Abel is exiled from his country, moving to Tearmoon and marrying Mia, who has 8 children with him. This timeline vanishes the second Mia reads about it. Timeline E: Mia meets Miabel, who comes back from the future via a magical copy of Mia's autobiography, which replaces her diary. In this timeline, a mass poisoning at Saint-Noel Academy drives Rafina insane, leading her to create a religious empire to wage a holy war against the Chaos Serpents. This timeline is diverted when Mia becomes the student council president. Timeline F: The Princess Mia Chronicles changes to become significantly thinner, as Mia is assassinated on the Holy Eve festival. Timeline G: After Mia survives the assassination attempt on Holy Eve, a new timeline is created in which instead Sion is killed in Sunkland.

Tiona, due to firmly believing Mia being responsible for the Lulu tribe massacre and her father's assassination, refused. Had she talked to Mia beforehand, Tiona would have likely learned Mia had no idea or involvement in the two events far sooner, which would have lead her to realize she was being an Unwitting Pawn. By the time Tiona did learn the truth, Mia had already been executed.

Tearmoon Empire / int_1edfa2c7	comment	Royals Who Actually Do Something: Each royal character has shades of this. Though there isn't a cultural expectation for the royalty in Tearmoon to be proactive, Mia is forced to be this in her neverending quest to avoid death, since helping her country is the only way to avoid the revolution that leads to her execution. In both Sunkland and Remno, it's expected to be a Warrior Prince. If a royal doesn't personally fight in the front lines and take care of issues with their own hands, they're considered unfit. It's because of this that Sion is so driven by his sense of justice and why Abel leads his first campaign when he's barely in his teens, albeit with the pessimistic idea that he's really just Authority in Name Only.

The thing is, the nobles would complain about paying higher taxes to store wheat on behalf of commoners for a famine, but if it looks like she's doing a favor for a friend, the nobles aren't hypocritical enough to complain about corruption they themselves participate in, so they let it go. In fact, if anything, it helps them relate to her a bit better, even if it does remove some credibility from her image as a saint.

They exist as a handful of nameless characters whose role is usually to bring up minor plots or events that her properly established friends wouldn't such as the upcoming swordsmanship tournament, or to fill out the numbers when she needs supporters.

If the current Emperor has no sons (as is the case now), then a member of a branch family from one of the ducal houses is selected. In the first few timelines, Mia doesn't even try to aim for the throne. It isn't really expected of her in the first place, not to mention that it is way too much work. However, in those timelines, what should have been an easy and smooth succession is messed up, presumably by Chaos Serpent provocateurs, resulting in instability and even Civil War.

Tearmoon Empire / int_2dc0d2bf	type	Hidden Depths
Tearmoon Empire / int_2dc0d2bf	comment	Hidden Depths: Mia may come across as a lazy, arrogant, and selfish princess — and she is — but at her core she is compassionate, hard working, and as Ludwig notes, she will never consciously make the same mistake twice. She also, when given proper motivation, shows significant drive and willpower to learn things. After going back in time, she is also far more mature, less prideful, and more open minded than most nobles, willing to work with commoners without complaint, unfazed by the rougher aspects of life such as the smell of the slums, and with a powerful respect for agriculture and related fields. Even in the original timeline, Mia was subject to this; Ludwig asked her if she had only one slice of cake left, would she either eat it herself or feed the hungry? Expecting her to give one of two vapid answers — take it for herself, or give it all to the needy — she instead agonizes over if it would be ok to eat the strawberry when sharing the cake with the hungry person she's sharing it with. It's endearing enough that Ludwig silently acknowledges that even if Mia's an idiot in way over her head... she's trying. Which was why he willingly tried to prevent her execution to the very end and refused to work with Sion, who condemned her to execution. Not unlike his distant cousin, Sapphias mostly comes off as an Upper-Class Twit, but both Mia and Esmeralda acknowledge that he's a surprisingly considerate dance partner, and Keithwood is surprised to learn that he can cook — a supremely uncommon skill to be found in any Tearmoon noble. It seems to run in the family, as Esmeralda comes off a snooty, typical high class girl, but she's also an Outdoorsy Gal, and it's less that she truly holds classist views and more that she's obedient to authority by nature, believing that it's expected of her to look down on commoners. In reality, she longs for the kind of close relationship Mia has with her maid and ends up being quite happy to hang out with the likes of Tiona.

Tearmoon Empire / int_3b113b7	comment	With Mia being the nail, specifically. While changing the future for herself is Mia's goal, everyone Mia interacts with for any length of time ends up with significant Character Development, leading them to become significantly better people in the new timeline, which leads to knock on effects since most people Mia interacts with are highly influential nobility. One of the most prominent is Abel, who was in the original timeline a womanizer due to being completely discouraged to try by Sion. In the new timeline, Mia convinces him to keep trying because he can't know what the future has in store, which leads to Abel becoming more confident and assertive in his abilities. One somewhat corrupt nobleman decides to cut down a special tree to make a jewelry box for Mia. This is a pretext for seizing the entire forest, which is currently occupied by the Lulu tribe. Who owns the land is not clear between the nobleman and the neighbor on the other side, Count Rudolvon, so he thinks if he can clear the land and clear out the tribe he can develop the land. In the original timeline, this led to the massacre of the Lulu tribe and the soldiers sent to fight them. The survivors of both groups came to hate Mia for supposedly ordering it, causing great unrest. In the new timeline, Mia ends up opening diplomacy since during her attempts to prevent a plague outbreak in the slums, she gained the gratitude of a young boy who gives Mia his deceased mother's hairpin. Said mother turned out to be the daughter of the Lulu tribe's leader, and Mia dropping the hairpin when getting the army to retreat gives her the opportunity to negotiate with said leader. In the process, she seizes a small amount of the noble's land in order to build an academy. Surprisingly, the nobleman is thrilled about this because it connects him to royalty and grants him the prestige of having the princess's personal project built on his land. The Lulu tribe, the soldiers and the nobleman all become very loyal to Mia as a result.

Tearmoon Empire / int_7335ffa9	comment	Grey-and-Gray Morality: Ultimately, once the reader has the full picture, the conflict between Mia and Sion & Tiona in the original timeline boils down to this: On Mia's part, once the famine struck, most people wouldn't be equipped to handle the situation that she was expected to. Furthermore, she wasn't even guilty of all the things she was accused and executed for. Even if she was, the narration takes her side when she internally criticizes Sion for being schoolmates with her for years and yet never just telling her that she needed to do better, instead dropping a revolution on her head when it was too late. Much like how history views the real life Marie-Antoinette whom Mia's character was inspired by, Mia comes across as collateral damage of a bloody revolution rather than someone genuinely deserving to die. On the other side, even the narrative points out that there were just as many valid criticisms of Mia as there were false ones; she did ignore and/or participate in bullying in Saint-Noel, making it little wonder Tiona and co. thought poorly of her, and she and her father really were incompetent rulers who did themselves no favors. It's suggested Tearmoon did get better once they were out of the picture, and even if Sion hadn't sentenced Mia to death, the revolutionaries would've killed her anyway and so, in a way, he was actually trying to grant her a humane death.

Tearmoon Empire / int_738d1a0f	comment	Because You Were Nice to Me: In the previous timeline, when Mia was locked up in a dungeon and the whole kingdom wanted her dead, one of her maids, Anne, was the only one who treated her kindly, regularly visiting her and attending to her needs, even though Mia used to treat her rather harshly before her imprisonment. This goes to show how much of a Nice Girl Anne is. The princess was so moved that upon going back in time, she decided to repay Anne's kindness by appointing her as her personal attendant. As a rule, anyone who stood with her even after it was clear the empire was doomed will receive her favour in the new timeline. The one exception is Ludwig, the one who worked the hardest to save the empire in its dying days; she doesn't even remember his name at first and headhunts him primarily for his knowledge, not to repay her debts.

Tearmoon Empire / int_79a60aec	comment	For Want Of A Nail: With Mia being the nail, specifically. While changing the future for herself is Mia's goal, everyone Mia interacts with for any length of time ends up with significant Character Development, leading them to become significantly better people in the new timeline, which leads to knock on effects since most people Mia interacts with are highly influential nobility. One of the most prominent is Abel, who was in the original timeline a womanizer due to being completely discouraged to try by Sion. In the new timeline, Mia convinces him to keep trying because he can't know what the future has in store, which leads to Abel becoming more confident and assertive in his abilities. One somewhat corrupt nobleman decides to cut down a special tree to make a jewelry box for Mia. This is a pretext for seizing the entire forest, which is currently occupied by the Lulu tribe. Who owns the land is not clear between the nobleman and the neighbor on the other side, Count Rudolvon, so he thinks if he can clear the land and clear out the tribe he can develop the land. In the original timeline, this led to the massacre of the Lulu tribe and the soldiers sent to fight them. The survivors of both groups came to hate Mia for supposedly ordering it, causing great unrest. In the new timeline, Mia ends up opening diplomacy since during her attempts to prevent a plague outbreak in the slums, she gained the gratitude of a young boy who gives Mia his deceased mother's hairpin. Said mother turned out to be the daughter of the Lulu tribe's leader, and Mia dropping the hairpin when getting the army to retreat gives her the opportunity to negotiate with said leader. In the process, she seizes a small amount of the noble's land in order to build an academy. Surprisingly, the nobleman is thrilled about this because it connects him to royalty and grants him the prestige of having the princess's personal project built on his land. The Lulu tribe, the soldiers and the nobleman all become very loyal to Mia as a result. In Vol. 6, Tiona becomes a walking nail as Mia finds that nothing she does is preventing her upcoming death noted in the Princess Mia Chronicles. Thus, resigned to it, she decides that she at least wants to apologize to Tiona for her past deeds... but this single action, which wasn't even intended to alter her fate, becomes the key to saving her life since Tiona becomes her savior.

Tearmoon Empire / int_80621707	comment	Arranged Marriage: A common occurrence, given that these are nobles and royals we're dealing with. One of the nobles was to be forced to marry into an agricultural kingdom by her father, only for Mia to stop it by offering her to work at her Academy. As an influential professor at Mia's up and coming Academy, she would have a much more significant political reach than a mere political marriage. Sapphias has been betrothed to his fiancee since they were children, though the two ended up falling in love for real. Esmeralda's father arranges for her to be married to a Sunkland noble or rather the Second Prince. At first, she's resistant to the idea, not wanting to leave Tearmoon, and Mia's wary of the political motives behind the move but knows she can't openly denounce the arrangement. With that said, Esmeralda becomes genuinely fond of her partner, so it works out. Ruby ends up in an arranged marriage to a Tearmoon noble, much to her dismay since she's in love with Vanos already — prompting Mia to once again try and find a way to break it up without causing a scandal.

Tearmoon Empire / int_83cef301	type	Right for the Wrong Reasons
Tearmoon Empire / int_83cef301	comment	Right for the Wrong Reasons: Many of Mia's actions in the new timeline are often done with the intention of making things better, and in most cases, her actions do end up benefiting people and in turn raising their opinion of her. However many of them often misunderstood her intentions, believing that she's doing things out for the sake of benevolence, when her intentions usually come off as selfish or impulsive. Examples include: When tackling one of the issues of food, one of her solutions is to...Ask her friend who is part of a merchant family to sell it to her cheaply. However due to lack of financial sense and not helped by being influenced by the costs of wheat during the famine in the original timeline, she ends up offering a lot more than normal. Ludwig and the merchant misunderstand this naturally and think there is more to it. However since it benefits everyone, there are no complaints. Another issue relating to food that she has to solve involves...developing a brand new strain of wheat that is cold resistant. She ends up making a brand new school just to have the excuse to enroll the said student in order to claim credit for his future brilliant invention. She overlooks the fact that the school will end up raising other equally highly competent people as well who in one future contribute tremendously to the growth of the empire. In fact, Sion and Abel upon learning of this end up believing that Mia is thinking so far ahead into the future that they can't begin to comprehend the scope of her wisdom. Dion interprets Mia fainting at the sight of him while being friendly to his scary looking second-in-command to be because the Princess is good at reading people, and can detect that his subordinate merely has the Face of a Thug while being a Friend to All Children, whereas the gentlemanly looking Dion Would Hurt a Child. The real reason the Princess knows that Dion Would Hit a Girl is because he was her executioner in the original timeline, by his own personal request. None of Mia's friends and associates believe her claim that Bel is her illegitimate sister, figuring that it's just her cover story; at best, Ludwig accepts that Bel could be a distant relative. The only one who actually bought it was Abel, who's shocked to learn that, according to the others, Bel isn't closely related to Mia... except she is — she's just not related the way Mia says she is. Presumably, Abel being Bel's grandfather (unknowingly) has to do with his strike of intuition.

Tearmoon Empire / int_96144372	comment	Aristocrats Are Evil: Downplayed. They are not evil but most Tearmoon nobles are driven by reputation and prestige and will bully lower-ranked nobles, especially those who are involved with agriculture. While Mia privately holds some degree of classism, she is ultimately a pragmatist who values loyalty and usefulness more. She has also learned from the first timeline that there is no reason to make unnecessary enemies, and as such keeps what negative sentiments she does have to herself. Mia's entourage in the first and second timelines is slightly different because of this. In the original timeline, Mia used a lower ranking noble as her personal maid. In the new timeline, she uses Anne, a commoner, in gratitude for her loyalty in the previous timeline. A lot of nobles find this disgusting, and as such, her current entourage is comprised of nobles who are more open minded, or simply so infatuated with Mia that they can overlook it. Mia's care for the common people is more because she is a Slave to PR than because of actual kindness. Unlike the rest of the aristocracy, she remembers the original timeline in full and is well aware of what would happen if the commoners' patience was strained to the point that they would be willing to die taking down the nobles. A lot of other nobles however fail to see this and increasingly despise Mia for treating commoners too nicely. Esmeralda keeps attempting to act like a snotty noble who can't even remember her maid's name... but keeps messing up by accidentally calling her by it. (Her maid finds it adorable.

It turns out for the best since the people plotting to assassinate him can no longer plausibly blame it on the Imperial Family he is helping out, also putting a wrench on using his death to fuel the revolution.

In the new timeline, Mia's rambling causes Rafina to consider her beliefs and the reason for punishment more carefully. She comes to the conclusion that punishment is intended to console the victim and teach the perpetrators their lesson, resulting in Rafina becoming more merciful to wrongdoers in order to enact the latter rather than just punishing them blindly.

At a point where the most efficient way to prevent the revolution seems to be investing money in the capital's poorest district to keep it from being the starting point of The Plague, Mia decides to contribute to the budget by selling off her favorite hair ornament. The reality behind the gesture is that Mia had that ornament taken away from her during the original timeline's revolution, so she'd rather willingly put it towards avoiding the revolution than live through having it forcefully taken away from her a second time. While the ornament alone isn't enough to raise enough money, the gesture's apparent selflessness gets used to convince others donate the rest of the needed money.

Tearmoon Empire / int_aba8065b	comment	Fatal Flaw: Mia's is Sloth. She's very apathetic and hates having to do any work. In the original timeline this got her executed. It's played with to an extent, however, because when she's made aware of her flaws she will at least try (poorly) to address them, which is why she works to prevent the revolution from happening in the new timeline. This is why Ludwig did his best to plead for her not to be executed: He knew she was stupid, but he also knew that she was trying the best she could in her own way. There are many flaws that the nobles in the story have, but Pride is arguably the biggest. Many of them, especially from Tearmoon, constantly do terrible/stupid things and treat commoners badly because they are driven by it. Mia used to be one of them, but in the new timeline, she has outgrown it and cares little about Pride and appearance and more about results...for the most part. In front of those close to her like Anne, she will still show some pride so as to not disgrace herself or them. In volume 1, Ludwig takes advantage of this by edging them on to contribute funds to build a hospital in the slums after the declaration that Mia had sold some prized possession to fund the project. In order to maintain their appearances of not being cheap, they had no choice but to contribute. One of the biggest problems the nobles' pride has caused is the lack of farming. The Tearmoon Empire is located on some of the most fertile land in the world, and ironically enough, takes as little advantage of it as possible. If they only used a little more of what they had, the future famine would not be a problem, but the nobles treat being told to allocate some of their land to farming as the greatest possible insult. This is due to the Empire's history. The original inhabitants were farmers. But they got conquered by a tribe of hunters, who would then go on to mock the very idea of farming as a sign of weakness.

For the most part, they are just extra bits of knowledge that never see any usage. Until Volume 4 when due to Esmeralda's foolishness, they end up stranded on an island where her knowledge gets put to good use. Just don't ask her about mushrooms. However, even this becomes a Chekhov's-lack-of-Skill in a way, as Mia accidentally poisoning herself with a poisonous mushroom was interpreted as her Jumping on a Grenade to prove that yes, people could be poisoned at the academy. Even the mushrooms come into play in volume 6, When Mia idly recognizes and identifies an extremely deadly red mushroom that absolutely should not be on the Academy Island, although she doesn't recognize the significance of it. It's only mushrooms that are very similar to each other that Mia can't tell the difference from, a common mistake for beginner or book learned mushroom hunters.

To his credit, he would seriously support her as the first Empress in Tearmoon's history, only changing his mind because she's happier in a different position, but the fact that Tearmoon has never had a female ruler until now speaks for itself. Despite Mia being the Emperor's only child, she's not automatically designated as his heir, as it's instead assumed that a male relative such as Sapphias will become ruler.

Tearmoon Empire / int_bbfaa837	comment	Knight Templar: Several characters in the original timeline fall into this mindset, most notably Prince Sion and Rafina. In the new timeline, Mia induced character growth causes them to grow out of it. In the first timeline, Prince Sion believed that the Imperial Family murdered Tiona's popular father without needing the slightest bit of proof, condemned them for it, and then put them to death in order to please the revolutionaries and Make an Example of Them. Ludwig called him out on it. In the new timeline, Mia's efforts prevent history from repeating in Tearmoon, so the masterminds hastily try to recycle their plans in the Remno Kingdom. Using a Frame-Up, they almost manage to trick Prince Sion into going after the Remno royal family. When Prince Sion discovers the truth, he is deeply humbled. In the first timeline, unlike Prince Sion and Tiona, Rafina was fully aware that Mia was only an Accomplice by Inaction as opposed to the actual cause behind the disasters in Tearmoon, but her belief in merciless divine justice made that more than enough for her to sponsor the revolution and encourage Mia's execution. In the new timeline, Mia's rambling causes Rafina to consider her beliefs and the reason for punishment more carefully. She comes to the conclusion that punishment is intended to console the victim and teach the perpetrators their lesson, resulting in Rafina becoming more merciful to wrongdoers in order to enact the latter rather than just punishing them blindly. In a later timeline, Chaos Serpent massacres the school's servants with a mass poisoning. Rafina, already overwhelmed by the sheer amount of responsibility she was under, failed to take countermeasures, having never realized just how The Unfettered Chaos Serpent was in the first place. The damage to her reputation caused her a Freak Out. She proceeded to become a Priest King and attempted to Take Over the World in order to stamp out Chaos Serpent. She ended up causing more chaos, death, and destruction herself than they ever could have dreamed of causing on their own.

Tearmoon Empire / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Mia, as an Expy for Marie-Antoinette, has some references regarding the historical figure: The Mia from the first timeline died by the guillotine. Never again would she tell people to eat cake when they had no bread. There are also a couple of references to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: In volume 2, Mia, upon hearing how a band of self-styled revolutionaries named themselves the "Blue Scarves", had an out of place feeling that the name was plagiarized from somewhere. It is in fact an allusion to the Yellow Turban Army. In volume 4, Ludwig's master attempted to re-enact Liu Bei's three visits to Zhuge Liang as a test for Mia, framing it as "that ancient piece of folklore from the east". Again in volume 4, Mia imagined a scenario that was essentially a retelling of Guan Yu letting Cao Cao go scot-free in the aftermath of his defeat at the Battle of the Red Cliffs. In volume 6, in an attempt to avoid dwelling on her impending doom, Mia began to converse with her horse, leading the narrator to quip about the possibility of her being "disgusted by the barbarism of humans and gallop away to join her brethren in the land of the horses", a reference to the Houyhnhnms in Gulliver's Travels. (In fact, in the web novel version of this series, the chapter where this occurred was titled Mia's Travels.)

The ones who couldn't take it fled and settled the country now known as Perujin. The refugees, fearing that the First Emperor would invade them again to finish them off, preemptively offered a deal. To their great surprise, while the deal was far from fair, the Emperor actually agreed to it, even though he could have taken everything very easily. His reason for sparing them was due to Cruel Mercy from a Misanthrope Supreme. While the Perujins wouldn't receive all the suffering he could inflict, it would still breed enough resentment from them to ensure that they would someday lash out at his own people, whom the First Emperor hated just as much.

One noble, likely nudged by Chaos Serpent, used Mia as The Scapegoat when he massacred the Lulu Tribe to claim their lands.

Dion made the greatest contributions during the revolution, killing countless loyalist generals and elite soldiers, all to get revenge on Mia, who he blamed for the deaths of his underlings caused by the aforementioned massacre of the Lulu tribe. Due to some incident, the First Emperor of the Tearmoon Empire swore vengeance against the natives of where the empire stands that lasted through the modern times without caring who is in the way.

Tearmoon Empire / int_d39e327f	comment	What the Hell, Hero?: Mia gives an implicit one to Sion after asking if he'll kill Abel if it turns out that Abel is oppressing the people to which he answered yes; that is, a few words and anger in her eyes was enough for Sion to read her intentions. In the series' usual fashion, there are actually two conversations going on here: In the context of the present, Sion realizes that swooping in to save the day and punish evil when the damage's already underway hardly makes him an arbiter of justice, seeing as how he did nothing to try and prevent the situation in the first place, especially when he did see the seeds of unrest coming. It's made worse when he realizes that his country was partly at fault, and it's what gets him to loosen his strict view of justice. On Mia's end, she actually didn't care about the present scenario, but was instead thinking of the original timeline: how Sion spent their academy years ignoring her, only stopping to criticize her to her face when the revolution was inevitable, rather than try and talk her out of her behavior at any point before then when there were still opportunities to salvage the situation.

Tearmoon Empire / int_e031b7ef	comment	Slave to PR: Royalty and nobility tend to be subject to this. As the series progresses, Mia finds it increasingly difficult to avoid taking up challenging tasks, because she has (unwittingly) garnered the reputation of a "Great Sage" and she really does not want to betray the expectations others have of her facade. Pointedly averted with Mia's father, who cares about the opinions of his people far less than he probably should and cares more about Mia's opinion if anything. This is actually what convinces Mia that there was a Frame-Up in the previous timeline, when he was accused of assassinating Count Rudolvon out of jealousy for his popularity, since it would be out of character for him to care. She turns out to be correct. The basis of Sunkland's rule is that their royalty is more just than anyone else. As a result, they can't be afford to be seen as less virtuous than the royalty of other countries — in particular, Mia. Naturally, this mindset causes many problems for Sion, especially in the original timeline. A downplayed case with the aristocracy: when they learn that Mia, the Imperial Princess, donated her favorite hairpin to help build a hospital, they're in turn forced to also offer make donations, since even they would lose face if they were seen as miserly after that.

One chapter briefly tells the story of Ernst, an utterly ordinary soldier who in the original timeline, when many soldiers turned coat and became bandits, remained loyal to the end and protected a convoy carrying famine supplies at the cost of his life. In the new timeline, Mia — who certainly appreciates goodness and loyalty at this point — rewards him by appointing him to the Princess Guard, even if this version of him is understandably confused. No matter what Mia does, the predicted future of her death by wolves won't change, so she decides to do everything she can to satisfy herself in the meantime. One of her final acts is to apologize to Tiona for something the victim not only couldn't possibly remember, but wasn't even really bothered by anyway. Because it's the right thing to do, even if only to clear her own conscience. This ends up being the final trigger to saving her life mere days later when Tiona ends up with Wistful Amnesia and ends up coming to her rescue.

It didn't really occur to Mia either. Mia's requests to Count Rudolvon go better than she expects because his mindset differs from that of better-off nobles, including her own: Mia considers that she's boldly Stealing the Credit for one of the acts that made Tiona a beloved figure during the original timeline's revolution by asking him to freely distribute his grain reserves to the commoners if there is ever a bad harvest year, on the condition that he makes it clear that she's the one who asked him to do it. Mia doesn't know that Count Rudolvon had independently considered distributing his grain reserves during previous bad harvest years, only to be told by other nobles that doing so would be seen as an act of rebellion towards the Imperial family since it's technically their reserves. As a result, he's actually grateful to be obligated to distribute the grain under Mia's name, as he doesn't see it as her taking credit for the idea, but giving him permission that the other nobles can't argue with. When Mia tells him that she plans to build a school near his estate and that she'd like his Child Prodigy son to be its first student, she expects him to be disappointed by the news that she intends to also open that school to local commoners and the nearby Barbarian Tribe, hence it will be nothing like sending the boy to the existing Royal School. Count Rudolvon actually likes the idea of his son not needing to deal with the Royal School's high-stakes politics to be able to get an education. He also wants his family to stay on good terms with both the other groups to whom the school will be open and sees all their children going there together as a good way to achieve this.

Tearmoon Empire / int_f23ad6de	comment	Food Porn: Mia is really into food, so expect her to describe her meals. In an afterword, the author even mentions that fans claim that the series should have the "makes you hungry" label.

Tearmoon Empire / int_f360fc33	comment	Dumbass Has a Point: The narrator usually has little respect for Mia, but it stays quiet when she's making a valid point, such as criticizing past life Sion's Knight Templar tendencies and occasional hypocrisy.

Tearmoon Empire / int_f46eebb	comment	The Redmoon family refused to backup the Imperial Family's efforts to put up a united front against the revolutionaries, because the family's daughter wanted the revolutionaries to take Mia's head.

Tearmoon Empire / int_f7883b17	type	Love Makes You Dumb
Tearmoon Empire / int_f7883b17	comment	Love Makes You Dumb: In the first timeline, Mia was madly in love with Sion. Downplayed though in the stupid factor; as sheltered as she is, she didn't realize that Sion is the heir of a kingdom, which means she would have to marry into his family, but as she is also the only heir of her empire, it was impossible for them to be together. She didn't realize this until the second timeline, at which point she is very very much over Sion and more interested in Abel... around whom her IQ drops by several points, making this trope still applicable. It's apparently a family trait, as her father was also quite lovey-dovey, and all of the Etoiler children tend to lose their cool when romance is involved (Sapphias and Ruby especially).

Tearmoon Empire / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Mia misses out on some Mushroom Stew in one volume. It becomes a life goal of hers to get mushrooms and have a pot of Mushroom Stew thereafter. Sadly, she has absolutely no earthly idea how to pick safe mushrooms from unsafe ones. More than once, Mia expects to have a tender scene with Abel, only for the spotlight to shine on the latter's rivalry with Sion instead. Every time Kuolan is on the scene, he will sneeze on Mia.

Tearmoon Empire / int_fa1e53b	comment	Glad He's On Our Side: Mia often has this sentiment towards characters such as Dion or Rafina... because she very much remembers her past life where they weren't on her side.

Tearmoon Empire / int_fb56b948	comment	My Sister Is Off-Limits: Inverted. As close as Esmeralda and her little brother are—to the point that Mia thinks the latter's Big Sister Worship is probably a problem in the long run—when he was brought up as a marriage prospect for Mia in the past, it never went anywhere in part because it straddled the taboo side of Kissing Cousins but also because of Esmeralda's veto on the basis that Mia deserved better.
