It’s 2 years. It’s still cheating if he thought the emperor was another man and still continued with the fucking. Just because another man smells like your man does not mean you should be doing all that nasty.
MC did not express much to Emperor and Emperor is not a mind reader. Staying within the palace and other duties are part of their dynasty back then, that is something normal, it’s just history.
No justifications. But seriously, this is fiction and the author passed it off as comedy so we shouldn’t expect too much lol. I’m just making sure nobody justifies or excuses cheating.
Ngl, see the pace and the hollowness of the plot. Very mundane with lots of humor. I'm with you about the cheating but when I see from the other side, the author straight up lightens the plot and lets go without further justifications. And i think the author knows what they're doing. I would love to come back and read this when I get too stressed from other dark and serious manhwas (▰˘◡˘▰)
I never said it didn't count as cheating. It is "cheating" because the "stranger" is still ML. I'm just explaining why the "cheating" happen due to MC missed ML and "coincidentally" that one "stranger" oddly have same characteristics and feature as ML which led to them fuck each other. Plus, I'm sure MC would push an actually stranger if someone trying to rape him. Not only that, I would say the "stranger" is actually rape or sexual assaulted MC because MC didn't ask for the fuck.
I repeat, I did not justified MC cheated on ML (nor justified ML raped/sexual assaulted MC).
The way author lighten up the plot itself is so weird tbh and here people so mad over MC cheating while forgotting that ML actually "sexual assaulted" MC when he become the "stranger". He knew MC didn't recognized him but he insisted to kiss and fuck. They mad about MC cheating but ignored the fact that ML sexual assault MC everytime he become "stranger". (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸
If a masked man tell you that he is your father while offering candy, would you believe him? He even said it multiple time for different occasion. If you believe him just after being told multiple time, you need to re-learn stranger-danger safety precaution. Even the dumb MC refused to believe, not until ML take off the mask.
You seemed like you were justifying it cause you said “if only that stranger didn’t smell” as a reason.
Maybe you just worded it wrong but yeah that’s how it sounded.
And the MC did not know that’s the emperor and only saw him as a STRANGER, so he did not push that STRANGEr away. So no “I’m sure MC would push a stranger away”.
MC did not tell him to stop and the “stranger” kept fucking him until he and the stranger cummed…so no. And the MC was also thinking of the sex. Consent or not, the MC didn’t seem to fight back or be repulsed.
Why should MC waste time to check? He always knew the emperor are busy with work. They've been together for years and he knew emperor rarely have free time to spend with him. If he do have free time, then why didn't he as emperor didn't spend that time with him (without fucking) instead of following him around like a stranger. Plus the hair color, the emperor have blue hair but I'm sure there is other blue hair in the story we just doesn't know. The same goes for the height. And remember, this is funny story about dum MC from low class family. Dumb by hate, dumb by love, he only want to wander around to ease his loneliness. So wtf he have to check every crazy people who claim to be emperor?
To you, it may sound justification but its not because I was in fact supporting the cheating HAHAHAHAHAHA
MC should look for new partner than stay with someone who only want you for the sex and give birth. ML couldn't think of other way to spend time with him other than sex and give birth. For 10 year, srsly, wtf are they doing for 10 year of nothing?
So you lied in your original post lmao. I don’t support cheating. And we didn’t get a full timeline of the 2 years they didn’t spend quality time together. It’s not like the emperor is completely avoiding during the 2 years, I think just less time but they still fucked but not romantic enough for MC.
It wasn’t 10 years I think. It was only 2 years. The author made the story like this, why? Idk. But it’s dumb.
Lmaooo in which part did I lie in original post?
Obviously communication is the problem. It always been in every love story.
They have been married for 10 year and ML stop visiting him for 2 year. They alrdy have 2 child that can walk and talk.
Understandable he is busy with whatever important stuff, but for 2 year without meeting is sus. At this point, anyone would think yo man have side chick. Knowing MC, he would just ask his servant if ML have free time or not. If ML busy, he wouldn't want to bother ML with his work. The fact MC want to stop being empress just because ML didn't see him for 2 year is kinda weird. It may because ML have been neglect him for many year like just let MC eat sleep, rotten away in the palace to the point of loneliness and boredom (actually alrdy happen loll) or something else happen in those 10 year. It just in recent year (chapter) they start to be silly willy like a lil monkey.
No I mean you said this “ I'm not saying it okay for MC to "cheat” and then you tell me you support it. So yeah confusing. And I don’t mean to sound harsh so I apologize if that came off rude.
Does it say ML stopped visiting him altogether? Yeah I also understand he’s busy, but I also am not justifying that he doesn’t spend much time with MC. I’m also saying MC has to express that to him, but he didn’t. I can’t judge much because I don’t know if he tried to communicate during those two years or both actually.
Yeah MC wanting to not be empress because of the 2 years is a bit weird cause they should be talking to each other. I don’t believe that they didn’t talk to each other during those whole 2 years, impossible considering Mc is in the palace almost 24/7.
Yall mad at the "cheating" part. If you being neglected physically and mentally by your partner for 10 year or 2 year, you wouldn't whined. From MC perspective, ML only by his side just to make baby. He expected ML to come to spend time with him like chit chat, drink tea idk instead of fuck. I'm not saying it okay for MC to "cheat", cuz MC didn't ask that "stranger" to fuck him LOL. Plus, if only that "stranger" doesn't smell familiar, and his tool doesn't have the same size as his "eunuch's" tool, I'm sure MC would walk away and kick the "stranger" tool. Plus, would any man poke other stranger ass? Try ask your male family for the answer.
Anyway, chapter 21: Very funny and sad. I cry a full glass due to MC's loneliness. Even people with money and power can't stop loneliness. It is understandable ML being busy with work and barely have time for MC but I hope there is reliable officer that can lessen the emperor work. It is very delicious and crunchy manhwa. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
