The Villainess Turns the Hourglass — Chapter 31

Wow, **Chapter 31** of **The Villainess Turns the Hourglass** really got readers talking! 👀

The biggest reaction was to Aria's tearful desperation. Most fans jumped in to clarify: she's not crying because she's *in love* with Oscar (the general consensus is he's a weak, spineless guy 🙄). Nope, it's pure, unadulterated fear and panic! Having been beheaded in her past life, she saw Oscar as her only lifeline, and seeing that slip away sent her spiraling. Readers felt bad for her trauma but also got a little frustrated seeing her rely on him. "Girl, stand tf up!" and "Drop that guy!" were common cries. 😂

The shining light for readers? The Crown Prince, Asher! ✨ Every other comment was a reminder that Aria has the ultimate trump card in him, even if she doesn't fully grasp it yet. The anticipation for her to realize she has the super-powerful, handsome Crown Prince backing her instead of 'pathetic' Oscar is palpable. Fans can't wait for her to ditch Oscar and unleash her true villainous potential for revenge with Asher by her side. 💪
