I personally make up a new story line in my head. Recently I didn't really like how a comic was progressing so I just changed it in my head. And now I like my version better than the original.
The comic is Concealing Sacred Simplicity (Yaoi). This is a summary of what I was thinking of.
I thought of if the Emperor was actually kind and respected the mc. During the academy days he would notice the mc and think fondly of him. He would get closer to him. They would talk over tea and study together. The Emperor would confess to the mc and they would start dating. And after graduation they would still see each other in the palace. They would have secret dates together. At night they would the emperor would ask for consent before doing anything to the mc. And then they would get married. The Emperor would adopt a child from a relative to keep the royal bloodline going. And they would live their days out happily.
(i rmbr the cover not the ttile) oh fuck i rmbr this, dear lord, i just wanted the second ml to be the one, like to the empy its just a matter of pride and possessing mc as a tool and like ughhhhhhhh i want to grind him to dust and burn him into hell fire. all hes just doing is gaslighting mc cuz he cant have him
*insert simpsons choking meme here*
I saw an edit the mc and knew I had to read this one.
same lol
