Can anyone spoil me if it stays poly or will later change into mono cuz I'm uncomfortable ...

But is he still having sex with them or was it not his decision to have them, I can't tell if he has other kids or if they're just concubine in name only

Sweetie, even in this day age it's is acceptable in places like China or the middle East to have up to four wives and many concubines. But the FL isn't happy about the emperor having so many concubines and children with other women, she has already made that clear in her thoughts. However, she also realizes the era that she is living in and that this one of the things she must live with. Though it is not uncommon for the emperor to choose one wife and stay faithful to her despite having many concubines. also, she does realize that concubines have other uses, such as anchoring alliances with other powerful families, and securing the emperor's place on the throne as the most powerful man in the empire. She's accepting the laws and traditions of the time, this does not mean that she is happy about them.

Nicely put.

Girl, I understand that much. By mono, I'm talking abt if the king stopped having sex with others. It makes me uncomfortable with him telling her he loves her while having to hold other women afterwards. The fact that she's falling for him even when he forgive the one who poisoned her make it worse. And I'm asking for spoilers, no need for your lectures everyone knows just bc I'm not comfortable with poly. Not everyone have the same opinion.

Wow, you took that to a whole different level. O one was lecturing you, I was just saying that he probably won't go just solo because even if he loves his wife he still has a duty to produce heirs and to cement relationships with powerful families. Now if you think that's lecturing then you need to look the term up in the dictionary, because there is a difference. If you aren't comfortable with the type of marriage that for millions of years was more common world wide then don't read stories like this. A monogamous marriage is a very new concept in the world and one only followed by those of the Christian faith, which (and this is now a lecture) is not the most widely practiced religion in the world. No one is pushing their marriage preferences onto you, so if you don't like how the marriage is in this story don't read it. There's no reason to get all flustered in your panties because of a bunch of fictional characters. And BTW if this story bothers you you might as well not watch anything that is a period Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or Middle Eastern, because they all have (gasp) harems! It's a common freaking theme found almost every freaking where in every freaking period piece! If that stops you from enjoying a story or movie or whatever then please sweetheart go grab your Bible and shut yourself in a far away convent and stop reading stuff like this! Otherwise just learn to accept this for what it is and move on with your life. Now that was a lecture, I'm done bye-bye! (⌒▽⌒)

By how the queen have changed in his views and is like the old queen when he first met her you can see he likes her more now and attach himself to her more so probably he won't have sex with them but just spend time with them.. It's required for an emperor to spend time with other concubines but spend more time with his favorite woman which is the queen. Let's hope he does spend more time with her than others..

Wow i need popcorn for this.

ლ(´ڡ`ლ) so much drama

Keep ur lectures to urself cuz the fact that I'm asking for spoilers is to help me decide whether I should continue or not. Without ur unnecessary explanation, I've already decided to drop this if the spoilers aren't wht I want. And ppl start praticing monogamy bc it suits us more. I understand this type of poly plot might be refreshing for some but not for some too. I'm giving a chance for spoilers bc of it's pretty art and nice flow of the story unlike most chinese manhua. I don't get how u feel the need to go out of ur way to lecture someone just bc they have diff opinions. Not everyone will be comfortable with poly (hell majority of us isn't lmao) and we r all just here for the fun. U need to stop forcing ur idles and opinions on someone just bc they don't feel the same. And I feel sorry for u to go out and explain all of this to a Chinese who knows all abt this more than u. And SURPRISE more than 99.99% of the manga, manhua and manhwa romances r monogamous!! U need to go meditate and find inner peace cuz forcing ur idles is a very toxic trait and assuming things abt a person just from a comment is just as toxic. FYI: Buddhism also practice mono lmao.

Please learn how to spell and use proper grammar. Translating your horrible laziness and lack of education is truly head ache inducing, my dear. Maybe you should study Buddhism more as that has nothing to do with what type of marriage you prefer. History shows that the concept of monogamous relationships and marriages did not become popular until Christianity made its way into the world. This the reference to the Bible and convent. Because if you were honestly raised where both types of marriage were considered okay and we're both common then you would have a better understanding of what I was saying. You were, and I am guessing here, probably raised like most people that believe in a monogamous marriage, in and environment that followed such traditions. I wasn't promoting my ideals, I was making a statement. And while those near you may mostly believe in a monogamous relationship world wide you can't really claim that everyone or even most follow such a belief. But I will say my point once again IF THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOT IN A MONOGAMOUS RELATIONSHIP IS REASON TO DROP THIS THEN FUCKING DROP IT! Oh and for someone that practices Buddhism you take quite a lowly and earthly view of something so silly and meant to entertain. Maybe you should practice more.

This thread is getting out of hand popcorn wont suffice. Any recommendation on what I should munch while reading and waiting for em replies??

Harems are a literal stereotype in manga. Meaning, they are used often. Meaning, you are hella wrong lol. Also, dont say "mayority of us" because you definitely arent the spokes person for everyone on here and if there are so many harem mangas/etc. Then clearly, they sell well, which means a lot people read them. Because, this might come as a shock to you, but the political aspect of harems is actually sometimes much more interesting to read than even the romance aspect.

If you dont wanna be lectured, then dont post a public comment on a public forum.

For all of those munching away, I'd like to suggest some cookies and milk to chase down that popcorn (if you're into the sweet and salty combo, like I am)

Thank you! And the cookies and milk were delicious! (⌒▽⌒)

Yes we all liked and enjoyed those harem tagged mangas and all those love triangles. But in the end, it usually ended up as the lead chose one of the love interest. And those political stuffs maybe enjoyable to you but pls know that everyone here have diff taste.

Wht was my cmt again? Oh right, asking for spoilers. Now why is my reply section filled with all the know-it-alls and assuming things abt a person, trying to lecture someone just bc they don't enjoy the same thing. If it make u feel a little bit more superior, feel free to do so but if you all have no spoilers than I'm out lmao. Oh and @NightRoseFox , pls go out and socialize more or get more online friends so that u can get use to this kind of text.

@Tracy, my socializing has nothing to do with your lack of common grammar. It's shows a lack of intelligence, and shows that you are just plain lazy when you can't make a complete sentence. There are more than enough, on this site alone, that can actually take effort to write out an entire phrase or construct an entire sentence. And for most of them English isn't even their first language. Your inability to simply put one sentence together using actual words is flabbergasting, and makes me seriously doubt not only your upbringing but also your ability to even speak much less write properly, this leading me to believe that you lack the fundamentals of a good or even fair decent education. Also you ideas about the harem rich stories on this or any other site is a bit flawed. Yes the Male Lead may often choose the Female lead as their one and only, but rarely, if ever, do they disban the harem. Since that usually doesn't happen your hoping for a monogamous marriage is pretty much null and void, as he will still be married to many women and still have many concubines. To expect otherwise is a bit foolish, childish, and naive on your part. So there, that is your spoiler. I do hope that I made this simple enough for you, but if the words I used were too big for you to comprehend (that means understand or to grasp the meaning of) then please feel free to use a dictionary. That would be a big book usually found in a large building called a library, it is filled with words and their meanings. Have a good day.(⌒▽⌒)

solo leveling

That's a beautiful recommendation honey. I've read both the manga and the novel. Thank you. But I'm asking about what to eat while reading the thread. I appreciate it tho. Hehe

Well I'm poly

I’m pretty sure the emperor is going to keep the harem and I read a comment saying that there will be a lot of stuff happening between the Queen and the concubines and same, I’m not a fan of poly but I keep reading about it haha(and then I drop them because my heart can’t take anymore)
