honestly in my opinion i believe that rosemonds case is different than the emperor. I understand that even though the emperor hasn’t directly caused harm to patricia in this present life his indirect actions of just ignoring rosemonds evil actions against patricia is really bad of him. But honestly he does attempt to understand in my opinion that rosemonds is doing wrong. i feel that we also need to understand the depth of his trauma and the way he has copped with it until now. which is feeling that he doesn’t deserve and honestly he believes that his forgiveness lies in siding w rosemond who is the mistress just like his mother was. I don’t remember how old he is but he’s literally lived all his life believing he doesn’t deserve anything and that he’s a monster.
rosemond on the other hand has a terrible past which involves abuse however instead of attempting to cope in a healthy manner she has chosen to follow the terrible path of ruining other people’s lives. It has remained evident that she has been overcome w greed and is now using her past to her benefit when needed to gain pity from the emperor for example. She never shows a glimpse of wanting redemption which leaves me not liking her at all. She has NO character development and chooses to wallow in her greed. So yes i will keep bashing rosemond because she literally shows no resentment throughout the rest of the storyline.

Oh then I agree with you too. Rosemond had it coming for her.
But i do feel bad for the emperor not to the point of forgiving him of killing the Fl's family.
I agree with the character development in the emperor.
Maybe in the previous life Rosemond did do some bad stuff to FL's sister but the emperor didn't know of it or just turned a blind eye to it. So if this actually happened then this would be considered as the emperor only admitted Rosemond's wrong doings just because empire would've been in danger. Maybe he is a good king but he failed to be a good husband to the sister.
I feel bad for the emperor but that doesnt justify his act of killing the FL's family so that his mistress can become a queen. This act of his was no less cruel than the Blonde empress.
