From what I remember, the red head is not his actual daughter. The current empress tricked the emperor into believing that's his daughter. I might be wrong cause it's been a while since I read it.
see here’s the thing, even if she’s not his real daughter, he doesnt know that! so why is he saying he wont love her (even tho to him, she is also his daughter) and is only going to love shushu????!
its kinda frustrating to see honestly #－.－)
Let me tell you what i vaguely remember....the read head bitcch drugged the emperor and accused him of r-wording her and he had to marry her due to the pressure from her family. According to the red head bitchhhh, azela is a product of r word which is not true cause the emperor knows he never slept with the red head bitch. He does has a vague idea that azela is not his daughter but the emperor can't go against the red heads family yet cause they got powerful people backing her up. He will devise a plan to expose her. And from what I can remember azela is not human? Like she was created by the red head through black magic or sum like that.
this is such a cute story but its just so sad that the bio dad has another daughter who he cant love just cuz she isnt born with divine power???
like even if u dont like her mother, thats still your daughter bro (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
and yes i know the daughter is “evil” but like the dad dont know that, so why is he saying he cant love her!!?
