About Shun's and Yuka's relationship. Shun is jealous of her because she was born a woman, and so initially he just puts up with her. However, the more time he spent with her, the more he became aware with how "normal" she was, and how privileged he believed her to be to be born a woman and live what he consider to be a normal life. So he becomes a bitch to her, while she, who is in love with him, wants to remain by his side even though he's gay.
I see both perspectives here, and although I can see why Shun is hurting, I don't like the way he treats Yuka. If he truly didn't want to deal with her, I rather him just be up front about it, and tell her that he doesn't want to be around her. Yeah, it'd be mean af, but at least if she decides to keep on chasing him that is her own decision. Yes, she asked to remain friends, and he begrudgingly just let it go on, but now it is obvious that she still has feelings for him. However, Yuka's obsession with him isn't healthy either. While he needs to learn to treat her better to tell her to leave completely, she needs to let him go and understand that he will not love her as a partner. I don't know, I'm so hurt on this. I want them both to be happy, but at the same time, they're gonna need to change and I hope that's what this story focuses on. I would like them to have a better relationship, but then Idk.
The think I saw Is that shun show pretty well that i doesn't want to be with here so much(he doesn't act friendly with her, alway is harsh ect) Although he doesn't say it bluntly it's kinda clear, i think other ppl would have sensed it ( sometimes when you don't want to be with someone you don't say it directly but act like it ) The thing is that yuka is super persistent, Although she knows that he' gay and doesn't want here to be ther she still come , some will see that as a nice thing from her not giving up on him(since he has sucha shitty personality)but to me she's way to persistent and it feels suffocating ( i meen when you have to let go just let go)so i guess they both have serious issues with thier personality, but that's just my opinion on the way i saw the story.
After reading this and the raws the Emperor literally hates her for no reason other than she's the empress and is getting in the way of his favored concubine. Yeah, he's trash.
