Oh hold up—it only follows the route of On the Emperor’s Lap up to a certain point! Because in the end, Madam won’t go back to him! Yooohooo!
According to spoilers, things could go either way since there’s a main ending and a parallel side story. In one ending they reunite, in another, she marries the Crown Prince. I’m not sure which is the canon route and which is the side story, but honestly, as long as their reunion isn’t the official ending, I’ll be fine ignoring it. And let’s be real, Kian is a much better choice than the Crown Prince. She needs to step away from the world of royalty and nobility, it’s done nothing but torment her.
That twist alone redeems this manhwa for me. I’d actually like her because she’s not as foolish as people make her out to be. Nearly all her decisions were calculated with her best interests in mind. She only picked the scum because she had no other choice—and she sidelined him later on anyway! She even tried to take control of the mansion like an absolute badass, despite the scum jeopardising her plans. She kept speaking up and standing her ground, problem was that she had no power.
So is she really to blame for everything that happened to her? Absolutely not. And I’m thrilled she went out with a bang. He deserved to be haunted by her forever.
In the second half of the story, the focus is now more on his suffering & wretched regret, as well as him building a bond with his son, which is exactly what I wanted to see.
This refreshing development makes all the angst so delectable for a sadist like me. I needed her to end up in the best position possible while the scum suffers and that’s pretty much what we’re getting. Well, sort of. There’s no confirmed ML, so it’s open to interpretation whether they end up together in the long run. He’s constantly tied to her life because of their child, and there’s even a confirmed side story about them…but it’s still digestible! I don’t believe in forgiving men who did u dirty, unless it’s in a next life. More women need to respect their own peace.
Kian would’ve made a great ML, he was more of a husband to her and a father to Ceasar. I hope the kid isn’t dumb enough to resent his mother, and if he does, he’d better knock it off as soon as he starts.
I wish she could’ve remained in her own body, I hate this red head outcome, but oh well. I still have a sliver of hope that her original body will be revived—even if it’s the one decent thing the scum manages to accomplish.
