I honestly just prefer the main couple. The first emperor’s and empress’s backstory is just confusing and not rlly my my cup of tes, ranon wants power and is lustful towards anya, anya is a fool and just a naive girl, both of them aren’t good parents… which lead to their children’s demise…or maybe im just wrong. Then again the whole story is so confusing to me, i didn’t understand a thing
I agree, the backstory of the first emperor and empress is just way too much angst for me and way more complicated than the main couples story. I feel like it should have been made as a prequel separate from this main story. Then the author could write as much chapters as they want for the empress and emperor whilst not convoluting the main story and while being able to freely have their story as their own “main story” rather than a side story. We already knew there was bad blood between the empress and ranon before their side story and all of it could have been summarized in a fairytale-esque manner in a single chapter tbh. Im just waiting to finally get back to the present day timeline.
