i get that as long term readers the constant being left in the dark makes one frustrated but to binge read in one sitting the mystery is actually so fun so i can see why the creator decided to go that route at the expense of us weekly readers being “i am so confused please someone tell me something and why are they so hot?”
I think the Empress was infertile. But she so so so desperately wanted a child that she made that wish. This scared the emperor because like damn everyone said the empress cannot bear and suddenly she’s pregnant? Im also gonna bet that she was acting strange during the pregnancy whether being in pain a lot or just being over obsessed with the baby because she was scared to lose it. He saw his wife slowly lose his mind which made him hate the child already. Nail on the coffin is she gives birth/dies right when he was cursed with black magic bs and we have the whole “i didn’t want the black magic to hurt you that’s why i ignored u for 9 years
my boy finally said it straight to her blushing face and she finally acknowledged him and their feelings for each other
a mc that acknowledges the abuse they went through, mc who is cold hearted when needed and empathetic when needed. thinks with a clear mind, calm collected and very demure
him imagining her with their future child is everything to me like omg how delusional of him to be doing that and like so cute
idk man i think the rowen guy prolly fcked up evelyn so bad that she had to basically choose between love and honor when she loved Gil. But after finding out she was pregnant, Rowen scared her into thinking that her child was gonna get killed for being born out of marriage and he could take responsibility for it but she has to throw Gil out of their lives because Rowen loved Evelyn
Whatever it is i love this story so much i only wish i found it when it was already completed
imagine the knights have like a peace treaty meeting where they have to interact with knights from other territories and like they’re talking about their training routine “why is your young lady a pervert man….” “we don’t know either but if we don’t do it her dad would kill us”
are there a few plot holes? sure. but the story in and of itself is so fun and seeing all of them end up happy is what makes it for me like yesss no sad angsty ending for any background character but yeah loves it
of course the mom is insufferable. she’s cursed??? liek shes cursed to love without love in return. It’s a curse and also like the main driving force for our ml’s character lmao but yeah
i love everything about it really its such a stark difference to the generic manhwas like we see the historical teenagers getting litty all doing drugs and drinking
we also get shots of loyal yearning man who doesn’t forces his crush to do anything (even if it was good for her)
and we see a baddie IN THE PROCESS like we always see a good girl suddenly turn bad like all of a sudden but here we see her like actually take time to be mean(?)
learning to be a villainess and shit eugh i love
it helps that everyone is hot and her two bffs are so real bffs like its so cute
yall i can’t do this anymore i need the whole series out NEOW i need to see mikey with a baby sibling EUGHHHH
years of being abused and gaslighted and the way he still loved her is so sad to me like damn literally split his soul in two just for a chance to bring her back? is he a bad guy? yes. but he's at least redeemable to me. like he could have a redemption arc had the story leaned that way.
