I'm dropping it. At first this story had political intrigue and we saw Navier handling the empire and how she had to carefully move in the political landscape. Then the story became more soapy opera as time passed. Rashta became even more like a caricature villain while Sovieshu is now portrayed as a poor guy who made a mistake. And now Navier is basically just there ?? Doing nothing? Like if I wanted to read about petty dumb characters being ruined because the protagonist got her revenge I would have stuck with all the shitty formulaic isekais that are around. I think the authors got lazy or cash grabby because they know drama sells
Maybe you should try the novel instead? You get to be in multiple characters heads and know more of what's going on/their motives.
The novel is solo much better!!!! I've been reading it for a while, but thanks for the rec! <3
This is pretty much how the Novel goes tho as far as I can remember lol
I don't feel satisfied. In the end Rash at was a pitiful idiot that never should have been given power. Who I want to see suffer is Sovieshu.
All is his fault. He threw and unstable and idiotic young woman in the middle of court life. At first most of rashta's Eros came from being uneducated, and the she escalated. But all could have been avoided if it wasn't for Sovieshu. She isn't tarnishing the empire's reputation, Sovieshu did by putting her in the position he put her. He is the asshole who deserves to be hanged, no the fool. Because at the end Rashta was n absolute idiot who didn know better and was a fool. But Sovieshu? He knew better. He doesn't even have to excuse of NEEDING to do anything. He was an emperor with the best life he could have, he neglected all his duties and responsibilities. He failed his wife and his nation. Rashta was a slave he picked up and put into the empress position. Of course a slave would have taken the opportunity, she was desperate. The one truly yo blame is Sovieshu. I want guillotine for him
I'm sorry but rashta is not innocent
When did I say she was? What I am saying is there are different levels of responsability here. Who do I hold more accountable for this bad ending: the analphabet uneducated slave with the cognitive ability of a toddler or the emperor who had the best teachers in the world, all the world at his hand and a duty yo protect Navier and the empire but fucked it all over because he was horny?

THANK U
I HOPE YOUR PILLOW IS COLD TONIGHT
You all really went on to read a story about unhealthy romantic relationships but don't like it when it also comes with the consequences of living through a unhealthy romantic relationship.
Ugh, he is so pathetic. Get a life instead of harassing your wife or fucking someone who looks like your mom.
LOLOLOL I LOVE THIS COMMENT
A lot of people have stopped reading because of this so:
People are either confusing the plot from the book FL read, where the ML was the villain who raped her brother who was the protagonist, with the actual story where she is the protagonist. Or they are either misinterpreting a scene
SPOILERS:
The scene being misinterpreted is the one where the FL is asking Aster to let her go, Aster tries to convince her to stay and kisses her. She pushes him away and tries to escape. Aster then grabs her hand not letting go, not with the intention to harm or her or SA her but tryiing to stop her from running away. The FL tries to resist and in the process stabs Aster in the eye, and she runs away. Aster is cries and still begs her to stay.
He doesn't hurt her or attack her, he has no intention of SA at any point. The kiss he gives her, while unrequited was without the intention of doing it against her will. Please stop spreading misinformation. I nearly stopped reading this manga because of the comments.
To be clear, intention doesnt matter when you SA someone, he kissed her without her consent which is sexual assault end off. It is. Though, i dont think its deep enough that someone should drop the story because Aster instantly got karma and had his eye stabbed. Its a matter of preference.
I do 100% agree with you!
However, I do believe it is deep enough to drop b/c Aster never apologize for it and when I mean apologize it includes not only say sorry w/ ur words about repenting for ur actions/etc. but also with changed behavior; thus, w/ this missing I cannot continue reading because too much of a red flag… and also bleeds into rape culture n etc.
We all have our preferences, you shouldn't read what you dont like
While I do think forced kissing is a form of sexual assault I doubt because of how it was portrayed that it was ever intended to be seen as that. It's certainly is a kiss by surprise if anyone would consider that SA is up for debate. My comment was more directed at the fact that a lot of comments talk about the ml raping the FL. Which does not happen.
That's great too. Not all stories are for everyone. But I don't think this story or the author ever tries to portray aster as a healthy and good individual. On the contrary.
They were engaged and he still went out fucking other women. Not caring that it humiliated Ones and that it also destroyed other women's reputations if it got out. He only started showing interest in her after he found out she was hot. Plus he is super possessive. I honestly thought this was gonna be a different type of story where Ines got away from him, not that he was gonna be the ML. I just can't like Cárcel.
I also generally dislike the “playboy” trope, but you should reconsider dropping this, because it’s really good! I disliked Cárcel at first but he grows on you.
A LIGHT SPOILER as to why you should keep reading:
...
It’s revealed he was already interested in Ines when she was younger (~16), but (due to very valid reasons) she refused to see him, and he tried to catch her attention by flirting with other women... Well, things just went downhill from there, and so we get to the way things were at the start of the story.
He repeatedly affirms he was in the wrong and Ines is too good for him, and doesn’t excuse his behavior. Also, he finds Ines attractive both dolled up and dressed like a nun! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
It's good to know that he affirms he was in the wrong. he affirms his wife i hope, not to himself. self loathing won't do.
I hv the same reasons for dropping can't get the fact outta my mind he did went to other women maybe if the plot was like how other women were trying to get him and that causing rumour and he didn't put it off(like making it seem he had a scandal while in reality he didn't) I just can't.
yeah but one thing is clear. Even in webtoons men can't deal with being rejected. He immediately went to sleep with other women because she hurt his little ego and ignored him
Yeah, the author had such a poor writing in this. Poor him, he didn't even realise he liked her, he had to go out and fuck other women in the hopes lf gaining her attention, but of course, this is only subconsciously, and he only realized it after marriage. Then after seeing how beautiful she is, he is suddenly loyal and in love. Pff get out of here. The art is amazing, I give that.
I mean in that case, she chose him first- made them get engaged at such a young age only for her to ignore and neglect him. It’s very clear he was like a placeholder or a tool for her to use. It technically would make no sense for someone to insist on marrying you, only for them to immediately ghost you as soon as you’re together. It wasn’t just him that was the problem. She wished for it to happen and her actions helped.
Valid, we all have our tastes but i understand this sort of criticism
but still... she didn't force him to do anything. She just blatantly ignored him and it was enough to make him sleep with half of the city's women haha. that's just pathetic. Some people defend him and put all the blame on her like she was threaten him with a gun on his head making him sleep with all those women and that's not how I see it.
that is your opinion and we respect that, we have different views and i view carcel as a loyal husband and faithful one at that he might not be a perfect fiancee to ines at least as someone who read the entire novel, i think you will understand him more when this story progresses. Honestly they are just both broken characters just trying to figure out new emotions and trying out new things, though sometimes it comes out as bad we can't do anything about that we just have to understand that is the message of the author here. Its not because of her poor writing skills, it's just we lack the cognitive to think outside the box and not just state what is credible to our eyes.
or you are still too yound to understand it and you got it all messed up cause you are projecting on the cheating part , when they literaly didnt have to do anything for each other until they got older . ╮(￣▽￣)╭
im not young why would you assume my age? im not gonna read this if i am underage, atleast have some respect stop trying to sound like you have correct opinions, like i get it you are just stating what you think is right and im just doing what you are doing as well. for your information im old enough to read and understand this im legally capable of understanding what is happening in the manhwa just as i said i read the whole novel so i might have different opinions than you, im not saying you are wrong im just saying that i have a different view about this manhwa.
im not trying to be rude to you, if you think i am, i was just stating my opinion in contrast to yours hoping you could respect mine as well.
She chose him? i though it was an arranged marriage to begin with? correct me if I'm wrong ಥ‿ಥ
read back to chapter 1, she chose cancel instead of the crown prince because she knows what the crown prince will do to her
spoiler alert
that bastard gave ines a hopeless life she killed herself along with her baby.
i replied to the other guy
it popped up to my notification i thought it was for me sorry my bad ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ .
my reply wasnt targeted to you. you can even see to whom i replied to ... （￣へ￣）
no worries
i was confused too, again im sorry now im kind of ashamed I didn't read it properly like wth is wrong with me ╥﹏╥.
I've read the spoiler on tiktok, i am now convinced. I'm dropping this. not my cup of tea.
Thanks for clarifying
He didn't fall for her after he saw how beautiful she is. It's the other ppl who were saying how beautiful she is. ML even said she is the same as before. Ppl rly can't read.
It explain more in the novel that she didn't just leave him alone. Ppl defend him bc they knew spoilers from the novel that explain that she did more than just leave him alone.
I tried really hard to read this I swear. but why is yechan so dumb???
So childish equals dumb?
The way this has 0 likes. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
