I know loulan *just* declared her hatred for sws, but I feel like we're heading towards a twist where it's revealed that Loulan knew the emperor had heard of mc's reputation and was intrigued. He may have only want to bang the most beautiful women, but he might still get his jollies from torturing an interesting/naive girl. From that perspective loulan would have been trying to save her from the old pervert
Having a good reason still doesn’t change the fact that Loulan did a lot of terrible shit. She hurt as many people as she could and mc is really lucky to have ended up well despite all the terrible glimpses of her life outside they showed us in those cutesy and funny artstyle, cause none of that is funny or cute. Dying from cold or hunger? Having to deal with the dirty matters in the red light district? I’m all for praising her endurance but it seems like they’re skipping over just how terrible and hard it truly was.
