Bro this is straight ass reverse gender historical shoujo. If this is a normal shoujo, I'd see ppl screaming how handsome the Emperor is by now.
Tbh this is hella refreshing, need more of women like these. It's true that treating ppl cruelly is bad, but nobody's perfect. We still don't know her bg. She's the empress ffs.

Jaemin > at first he seems to be oblivious to Tom, like he never stop when Tom said stop during sex. He seems like the type that isn't used to taking care of others. Idk how he can change that fast, but he gets a lot better afterwards. Though, sometimes too overprotective..
Tom > I thought he was sensible and mature, but wth... He turns out to be a person who's unable to express his feelings? And moreover, he's too weak minded, gullible (both of them are guilty of this, but I see less from Jaemin's side), and he messes with Haejoon when he can just mind his own business.
Haejoon > this one is clearly fucked up and problematic. I think we all know what he did was unforgivable, but I gotta say I like how he did regret it, apologized (though, demanded), and took responsibility (or ran away idk, still a good solution). Let me make this clear, I really hate him and pity him at the same time. And NO, TOM, everyone deserved a second chance. You have no right to tell someone they have NO RIGHT to love and be loved.
Ugh.. I thought Tom would be the most likeable character, but the more this goes on, the less he becomes likeable..
Some of the twists were pleasant, like I wasn't expecting it until it's almost revealed. So this feels kinda nice
