RASHTA DESRVED BETTER IDC (RANT)

Okay when I first read this, I lowk jumped on the "trashta" bandwagon just cuz it was popualr, and I'll be honest she was kind of annoying in some aspects. HOWEVER, once you actually take a step back and form your own opinion, it's so clear that she was the true victim. When you take her backstory (the trauma of being presented with a dead baby and being told its hers, being enslaved since she was a child) and then her reality (being hated by the empress whom she grew up hearing "loved everyone", being treated as stupid and less than just because she never got a formal education - bro, she was a slave) it makes so much sense why she was the way she was.

I honestly think that the writer of the novel made Rashta crazier near the end so they could justify her dying lol. Juxtaposed to the heroine Navier who is "perfect" in all aspects (apparently..i suppose) the reader isn't supposed to like Rashta, but if you take the basic facts about her into consideration what even makes her unlikebale?? Can you even blame her for being insecure, all she has to rely on is Sovieshu's love for her - all her actions are out of desperation. I mean, if you got the taste of living in luxury would you not also be stressed out if the possibility of going back to the lowest point ever.

THE craziest thing in my opinion is that if you think about it, (I know the timeline of the manhwa is kinda shit) but by what we're presented with all the drama happens all in the span of a few months (this is because Rashta's pregnant the whole time and has her baby when she's already "crazy") so you're telling me she goes from cute, naive and nice to batshit crazy in the span of like...7 months. Yeah ok.. Not saying it's impossible but its just BS.

People think of Rashta as the person who "seduced sovieshu and made Navier sad :(((" BOO FLIPPING HOO. She got her leg stuck in his stupid bear trap while RUNNING AWAY FROM E N S L A V E M E N T. Is it her fault she was so beautiful he fell in love? Not to mention when she first arrived she wanted to get close to Navier. Did Navier have to be so rude about being called 'sister', like bro get a damn grip - you know this girl is just young and naive, not everyone has the stoic genetic makeup you have.

Justice for Rashta bro. I could say so much more tbh

    I agree with you on everything except for the fact that why did Navier har be rude when Rashta called her sister.

    1st of all doesn't matter weather Navier loves all or not how could anyone be polite to the person their partner were cheating on while that person knew full well that the man she's with already has a wife... It's one thing if Rasta didn't know about Navier being Emperors wife and Emperor went After after Rashta without telling her that he's already taken.

    I do understand Rasta's POV she wanted to be close to Navier, she even admired her so much but I also do get Navier's POV as to why she was mad

    agreed but i dont think the author antagonised her as much as u think, i honestly thought she was pitiful and tragic every time she appeared.. the way she was portrayed while committing all these wrongdoings actually humanised her in a way.
    she went crazy as a result of extreme stress, pregnancy side effects and severe trauma. it would be very easy to lose your mind especially as an already unstable person.
    it sucks that people automatically hate her guts just bc shes the antagonist of this story. although its definitely true that she committed abhorrent crimes in the later chapters

    I agree so much with your later points, but I 100% think the author antagonised Rashta immensely, especially in later chapters just so they could kill her off and have the deluded fans of this story believe that thats the "best" ending. I guarantee if the pov was on rashta, everyone would feel bad for her and think that her dying is too harsh.
