i agree, i wouldn't support rashta even if the story was from her perspective. i read a manga called Strobe Edge, which has a similar circumstance of the main girl pursuing a guy that is in a relationship, and his current girlfriend is actually a good person. however, the heroine completely disregards that and continues to pursue the guy, which i view as being incredibly selfish. i actually ended up dropping it because the heroine's actions pissed me off so much. the girlfriend didn't deserve that just because the heroine wanted the guy
same with rashta. even though the emperor and navier's relationship wasn't necessarily a passionate one of love, its fair to say they got along well. but once rashta appeared, she put unnecessary strain on the relationship, and became a source of feud as she causes misunderstandings and lies maliciously.
i understand her circumstances of wanting to rise from her status, making the best with what she's got, but when she decides her own desires are more important than other people who are good and innocent, aka navier, she loses my sympathies
She is so manipulative. I won't delve into spoilers, but like every time Navier calls her out on her bullshit or is simply like hey dude you're a concubine stay in your lane and we won't have problems she starts balling to garner sympathy. One example of her manipulation is when she was happy Souvieshu yelled at Navier for telling her to stay away from her things. I really hate her so much.
Lol to side with Rashta... no way in hell.
From what we know if your parents are slaves, you become a slave.. she want made a slave she was born one.
She chose to have a sexual relationship with her masters prime son all to try and gain power. She got found out and was given a deal, have a child and get your freedome or stay a slave. She Chose to have the child and ditch it the second she was given her freedome. The only reason she is trying to find that child is because its the spitting image of her so if her new sugardaddy sees the kid he vil know she lied about him taking her first time.
I really like the way you express about Rashta and your views, it might be just be me, but I find uncomfortable to refer to other characters, specially female characters like "bitch trashta deserves to dies while giving birth " you know.
I won't judge harsh other for doing so, since it's fiction, and we are allowed to vent, it's just I don't feel comfortable doing that, it's a line than can be cross easily and the same comments can more easily say to another person in real life.
I do completely agree with you, she is also done to one dimensional for my taste. Her personality is soooo unlikable, of course, to make Navier look good, imo, it's a cheap writing way to make FL to look even better, I like when both characters are flesh out.
I can't find to like her, non-less, my hate is mostly direct to Sovieshu and my despite to Rastha.
What do you think about this character? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xgf44984Uc She is Ann Boleyn from the musical SIX, based on the second wife of Henri VII.
She is in the exact same position as Rashta, as a lover of a king that aims to be main wife, I can not find her but lovable, as she was written in a very fun way.
This is the first wife perspective https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kal8Qrw3oTM she wasn't also write as someone horrible to look Ann look better
If you happen to like both characters, I 100% recommend you to watch the musical starting with this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w111r8DvpeA
Nope, she tried to run away while pregnant was a slave, because she know the master of the house would know the child was his son's aka she seduced the future heir of the househild who was ment to focus on learning his future respocibilities. When she was caught the master of the house told her point blank "i know you slept with my son..that kid has our noble blood, im giving you two choices, 1. keep the child and you will forever be a slave or 2. give the child to me and il give you your freedome" She chose 2. with no hesitation and left. A few months later she "gets saved" by the emperor as a "run away slave"... but she was no longer a slave.. hence it was an act to get a rich looking guy to feel sorry for her.
Hi! I'll definitely check out the videos and share my opinions with you. But I don't think I said "bitch trashta deserves to dies while giving birth ". I also hate Sovieshu as well and have so many opinions on him but I don't voice them because they are fairly obvious. I'm open to having a discussion about this as I have no one to talk about this. I also don't think Rashta isn't just there to make Naiver look better because quiet frankly she doesn't need it.
ohhhhhhhhhh, I read that she did no wanted her first child because she was also scare he would come out to kill the second who will be raised with love at.
I have to re read the first half them, I really remember something along the lines that she thought her firstborn was death before her ex owner told her otherwise. Thank you!
nono, you didn't say that, the way you referred your disgust of Rashta without going there it was what I liked the most in your comment, since English is not my first language I apologize if that was not clear in my comment.
I really enjoy comments that are written the way you do, that can express feelings in such a calm way.
About Navier, I also think she didn't need Rashta to look nice, she is a very good character on her own, I think I did not make it clear what I wrote, language barrier is a bitch, "to make FL look even better" is the thing I was talking about, most of the time characters in the position of Rashta are there to paint a black and white situation where we are put in a position to only support FL, characters like Ann tend to swift that narrative, since you said you do no support the third wheel cheater I wanted to know your opinion on a character like Ann.
I also would enjoy discussing more of this, as I don't have anyone to talk about it, my friends are more into k drama ha.
its not that she stought the kid was dead, its that she thought he would have given it away but he kept it and raised it as a member of the family. She thought that because it was a kid from a slave he would have sold it, but instead the kid is being raised as his own. This is a problem for her as the child is the spitting immage of her = profe she lied to the emperor aka "i gave you my first".
So I've been thinking about Rashta's character. I get that her character is meant to be naïve and uneducated, BUT in what world do you think being the AFFAIR partner of a married man means his ACTUAL wife becomes your sister. Even if (hypothetically speaking) Navier and Souvieshu had a shit relationship and were literally only married for politics I don't think Navier's (or really anyone in that position) would be welcoming to an affair partner. Had Rashta stayed in her fucking lane and left Navier alone I wouldn't hate her as much. Like I fucking hate cheaters, but they are at least bearable when they know they are doing something fucked up. But this bitch views herself as the heroine who deserves everything. She wants her cake and the whole damn bakery too. Yes her being a slave is terrible, no one should ever have to be slave, but that doesn't mean she is entitled to essentially everything Navier owns.
I don't like the argument that if the story was from Rashta's perspective we would be on her side. Like yeah some people would, but I don't think I would. Here's why:
Navier is not a bad person or wife. She is an amazing empress and an amazing person. Yeah she doesn't show her emotions, but that's how she was raised to be. Prior to Rashta showing up Navier and Souvieshu had a solid relationship. So even if we were have Rashta's perspective (and everthing played out the same way) she would still look like homewrecker. In order for at least me to be okay with cheating the relationship has to terrible and separation is not an option or the spouse is like evil. Navier doesn't fall into any of these of these catagories. She is an amazing person who deserves the world.(I may be very biased towards Navier but my point still stands) Navier doesn't do anything bad to Rashta, she follows the rules and just wants to be left alone (which is completely reasonable). Navier has every right to be uncomfortable with her husband having an affair. Navier only treats Rashta badly when she is provoked first.
Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk have a good night.
I'm sorry about my rant I have so much more to say but I won't subject y'all to all to my ramblings. It's 12am and I don't have anyone I can talk to about the Remarried Empress. I'm open to discussion and different opinions so please reply if you agree or disagree or have something else to add. :)
