I think for the sort of time period she's from being an orphan even if from a noble type family being a concubine would be the best she could achieve with a high ranking man (very class based). Also at the beginning she was accused of adultery which even if cleared would still be a stain on her name not to mention she's been labeled as a lone start and said to have the worse fortune to those around her.
I caught up to the current chapter (138) right now and it's getting kind of annoying to see pretty much every man offer the MC a concubine position. Not wife or even nice courting, just: "You're interesting! You're are now my concubine/property. Why aren't you happy about that?"
I mean, we're over 100 chapters in an I don't think ANY of the men save for the Prince of the foreign l country (who looks like Guard 2 that died) has given her respect or behaved in a way worthy of her interest. It's getting over done at this point. Oh, and the idea that the Leader Emperor(??) is really just trying to "help" by behaving the way he does is equally ridiculous in my mind. Anyone else feel the same?
(Side note: I love the MC and I think her gut reaction of near-disgust is pretty spot-on as she has a handful of old men lusting after her pre-teen/young teen body. Her crush on some of the more age appropriate guys is nice too, especially since they seem to be most redeemable action-wise.)
EDIT: Sorry to the two people that replied to this and had their responses disappear. I corrected a typo and the replies vanished.
