Ugh Chen was right theeereeeeeee. He is so good. Caring and loving and sweet. I’ll take you <3
Right!!! I’m stopping at chapter 30, I’ve seen enough. I can retcon the rest in my mind, Chen pissed off that Gi tried to betray him wants to kill him but kind hearted Hae-min doesn’t want to go back, so instead Chen helps the crown prince, they come up with a way to give him enough power to go back to the palace and take the throne and kill Gi once and for all.
Happy ending, the crown prince wishes Hae-min the best in his new life with his new love. And hae-min is just grateful to leave the past behind him for good.
The fucking end. I refuse to see what the rest of you guys in the comments have!
I’m so impressed how this author portrays family life. It’s complicated and challenging and there’s no fairytale ending. It’s work. It’s worth it, but sometimes it’s easy to skate over the difficult parts in fiction.
That said, since it’s fiction, I’m looking forward to a happy outcome since I love them all hahah
I feel like a history of SA is often shown excessively for shock factor, but this story handled it so much better. We could exactly how each little shared instance affected him deeply, be it through negligence, betrayal or fear etc. The implication of his experiences was enough to communicate everything without exploiting the visual of the complete act like some stories do.
It left room for this to be such a soft, sweet story. I’m sad I procrastinated reading it for so long.
Nah this is just wildly unsuccessful courtship. There’s problematic aspects like power dynamics going on, but a large separation or time and space don’t add credence to the idea of grooming.
They met and played as children. The dude has taken advantage of his position and power to manipulate mc.
If it makes you uncomfortable to read though, definitely don’t. This amount of chapters should be enough to determine if you want to continue or not as I imagine a few more problematic tropes may be on their way.
Bring it on.
I liked your comment before I've read the raws. Unfortunately this is grooming. Emperor been touchy and excessively doting him since he was just a kid. Make him sit on his lap,
Duh I tapped post before I finish writing. I hope I was simply paranoid on the context
Well I guess if the thought process shows inappropriate intent in the actions in the future I’ll happily eat my words. I’ve not looked ahead. And I’ve been wrong plenty in my life.
