It usually ends that way for this kinds of bls the best ending for this is either one of them die
Why do you think you're supposed to root for them being together?? It's not that kind of story
I think he will die, I don't see this particular author going for that cliche or trying to make the emperor look like a nice guy or remediable
stop reading because that’s exactly what’s gonna happen
Please don’t , for the fucking life of me, tell me this whiny ass, murderer, rapist, bipolar, tyrant of a king is end game….oh my god. ML has literally no room for character development or??changing into a good person if we’re actively seeing him be the absolute worst??? LIKE HE’S TERRIBLE?? He gives absolutely zero fucks about the main character besides being possessive over him? I’d even bet that ML murdered MC’s wife and daughter to isolate him like he did with MC’s father. Idk, it might not be true, or at all where the story will go, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised.
How the hell are we to root for them to be together???
