true about not having the empress killed...
but (SPOILER)
His plan is:
divorce the empress and marry trasha so her kid can be considered legitimate and can inherit the throne.
However, he wants to keep the Empress to run the country...he wants to remarry the empress after the kid is born
he doesn't discuss/or tell anyone of his plan. he assumes/expects that the empress will stay at his side all thought-out this and stay loyal to the empire.
his whole reason/justification to the divorce is cause the empress is unable to get pregnant- at the divorce trials? he admits that when they were young- he accidentally fed the empress poisoned cookies that could make her infertile. (he also had a cookie). He says this out to the public but feels no guilt and blames the empress when it is his stupid fault!!
He just wants to use the empress for his convience and won't let her be free. then he gets upset and feels betrayed when the empress doesn't do what he expects (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
wow just when i thought that bastard couldn't get any worse...
He's a digrace to man kind.
（￣へ￣）
I aint saying he aint a bastard but comparing him to some actual male leads in webtoons who somehow redeem themselves and get forgiven for their actions he gets a passing grade at least.
THE EMPEROR IS DISGUSTING BUT THAT UGLY RASHTA IS MORE UTTERLY DISGUSTING. I HOPE THEY BOTH DIE....
stricly speaking the emperor might be a giant asshole but at least i find him better than some acutal male leads in other webtoons. At least for now. He didnt try to kill or rape the empress just wanted a divorce. Well unless i missed something.
