I think some of y'all didn't understand this story. She was not a mistress at first. She was dating that trash first and where supposed to become his empress. Then the trash went a married another woman out of nowhere to have political power and made mc his mistress because he is obsessed with her. And the only reason he even became emperor was because whoever married her should become emperor as she was supposed to be empress according to the late emperor's will. Ml decided to leave the throne to trash because he promised he will make mc emperor.
