Wow this comment is bad because it kinda shows there's a good way to rape put it's still so true
I mean, there's no good way to rape, but yeah....the emperor was an even shittier person that his messed up brother....and that in itself speaks volumes...
Incarnation. After death and reborn, technically it's a different person. You can't control your past life but you can control yourself now. That's what the emperor is doing. That is why he was given a chance.
I know. But it's that he dares to hope again when the emperor started almost the same as his previous incarnation. The emperor is definitely trying this time.
Also, even though it's an incarnation they still look the same. That might be triggering. And both still remember their past lives.
The more I learn about the emperor's past, the more I'm surprised he's even contemplating giving him a chance in this life.
And wow, even his brother treated him better while raping him. I mean, when that's the threshold, it's surprising the previous emperor sunk below it
