Most Loved!

[Adlitim]

I probably have completely misunderstood how the "Most Loving Couple" achievement works.
Let me explain, I have achieved both the "easily" attained ones, the one by declaring Pure Love(Each Race, Gender, GC).
I then matched for the Dear Love, in all of the three City-states. And now I have, I believe, to build up to 20 Points to gain the third Achievement for Glory of Love.
Now about the last one, the one that will change your avatar as well, how exactly does it work ?
Once building up those 20 Points and giving them up for registration to the NPC (for the previous achievement and item), will they vanish and therefore I have to restart from scratch or I will keep them after obtaining the item ?
Additionally are the points scored by the most loving couple calculated by classing mine and the partner's or by taking count of the person that has most ?
Thanks for reading, in advance.

Yes, your points reset after you submitted them. Your points are added together with your partner. For example, if you got 20 and your partner got 35 your total would be 55. Most loved couple is then rewarded if you gave the most points within that game day, giving you the other heart background.

Wonderful, I just had it "ninja'd" by a couple that exceeded my 42 in Gridania, where I hoped none would go to try and achieve this. Basically I waited and I was top in the list till 22:30 and then bam, another couple that had been using, by the sound, since I was semi-afk, over 10 thousand chocolates on each other, surpasses my count and byebye avatar change. It's so bloody stupid, honestly. Especially after the amount of time and effort I put into this (since in my server looks like everyone is happy to receive but not to share chocolates, lol).
Meh.

Well there are people that got it with only 20 points, probably even less. I suggest waiting until literally last minute of the game day. There are days on my server where no one submitted anything and even 1 point would of got the most loving couple. What made the process faster for me was getting chocolate from my mules.
