thanks for sharing these details. just to add to ur point at the end, I feel like people seem to just ignore the setting of this manhwa? like this is all supposed to be occurring during the Korean dynasties (some have speculated during the Goryeo or Joseon era). Seungho's behavior, since he is a lord, would have been acceptable at the time. It's naive to expect a historical drama/romance to have a modern day understanding of consent. It would just be historically inaccurate. I understand that some people will still critique it despite that fact, but just don't read it if you have a problem with it.
This was a great chapter for the shippers and even the small details are worthy mentioning.
For instance, the scene starts with a sleeping Nakyum that had Seungho's robe covering him. It's cold but it's Nakyum who is covered not only with a blanket but also his Lord's clothes. Seungho had started drinking the night before so this detail implies that even in his drunken state, Seungho had some kind of awareness that the room was cold and instead of covering himself, he put his cover on Nakyum.
The chapter is also full of mystery about Seungho and the author seems to be hiding crumbs that will be connected later.
1- What is the illness that the doctor and the servant are talking about? They seem to be implying that Seungho suffers from something that is ongoing and needs treatment.
2- What does Seungho means with 'happened again'? Was he in love before and maybe it didn't end well?
3- The flashback scene ... a lot of people seems to think the child is Seungho but what if his father and brother looking at him? Maybe the scene where his father humiliated him and cut his top knot ? When you want to teach your younger son not to follow an older brother's way, this seems like the kind of thing you make his brother witness... a punishment of some kind.
To all the people who choose to read a rape plot and will now get even nastier shaming shippers here : fuck you. This is an adult fiction and if you choose to read something you don't like, it's no one problem but yours.
