This may be an unpopular opinion. I am not that far into the story, but, from what I have read so far, the only true trash in this story seems to be the emperess's father. The emperor ignores, overly suspects, and talks bad to the empress. He is a bad husband to her without question, but I can't see many people doing things different if they were to take his place. In fact, if this story was retold from the perspective of the emperor with little background on the empress revealed until later, most people would understand why he treats her like an enemy rather than a wife. Does this make it right, absolutely not, but it makes the emperor realistic and reasonable. The man who destroyed my life, kidnapped me, and killed members of my family is making me marry his daughter against my will. The same daughter who publicly announced that she would discipline me. Yeah, there would be no princess/queen treatment. This makes things very unfortunate for the empress who can't directly reveal what is truely going on. I hope they can work things out or peacefully go their separate ways. They are both victims in a way. Revenge against anyone besides the empress's father seems pointless.
