Seriously? He could have at least told her that he only found out recently and was debating whether or not to tell her. Would doing that make her forgive him? Probably not, but it would at least make sure she's not under the impression that he knew this whole time. Even if he couldn't talk to her in the moment, he could have passed on a letter through other people to communicate at least some of the details surrounding the incident as a way to show sincerity.

Like, yeah, his dad is the one who did it, but it was under the Emperor's orders. And there was at least a "for the greater good" reason for the orders. Knowing that probably wouldn't make her forgive the people involved; but it could reassure her that the direction of her revenge wasn't entirely wrong, since there was a powerful black mage involved who was planning on using the villagers as sacrifices. I'm fairly sure she's under the impression that there was no black mage involved and the incident was just another example of nobles not valuing the lives of commoners at this point.

If the black mage hadn't been in the village and hadn't been planning something shady, the village wouldn't have been wiped out. Conversely, if the empire had had the ability to deal with black mage in the first place, the incident also wouldn't have happened either. From a Utilitarian perspective and based on the circumstances at the time, it was the right call (assuming the black mage did actually die). She may not agree with the result of that decision, but at least give her the information so she can make an informed decision about who to blame. If she were told the circumstances surrounding the incident from the empire's perspective, she could at least take the full facts into account and not base her future decisions on misleading information and rushed conclusions.

She may also get some comfort from knowing that she's not the only survivor.

This author CANNOT be about to try to make us forgive her stupid father just because he had good intentions and was just trying to fulfill his promise to her mother.

You'd need the emotional intelligence/empathy of a toddler to believe that ANYONE would be happy being trapped in a loveless marriage as a concubine who is going to be treated like an AI Assistant who does all the work for people who humiliated her. You would need a complete inability to conceptualize how other people feel, or think of the one being put into that situation as a robot with no emotions other than satisfaction from being "useful" instead of a person, to think like that.

The fact that he never even asked her if she wanted to be the prince's concubine means that he must think of her like a robot, since he didn't even consider that she might resent the prince for humiliating her. He just assumes she would still want to marry him even when there's another woman that the prince cheated on her with. And he never asked her for her opinion about the engagement, even before she was humiliated. He has NEVER thought of his daughter as a fellow human with her own thoughts and feelings.

Her mother must have been a true saint with incredibly poor taste in men, otherwise there is no way she would have married this fucking manchild and trusted him with their daughter's future.

Study methods depend on the subject. In general: I try to avoid memorization whenever possible because I have a terrible memory. Instead, I usually make sure I can reword everything that's going to be on the test in words that a five year old would know. If you can explain it to someone else in simple terms, you know how to do the thing. Sometime......

Karen mom accused me a of making her daughter cry by not letting her participate and told me I needed to “check myself.” Both me and the other girl were in 5th grade at a Lego robotics competition. I was doing all the work (I was the only one who cared and did stuff before the competition) and this girl comes up to me demanding that I let her......

SilverVine_Cat created a topic of Water Magician

Adaptation starts airing in July.

So far they've only released one trailer:

The water looks like it's going to be epic so far. And people look like people, unlike the manga adaptation.

Feel free to correct me and share your own experiences! I know that a lot of people who use this site are avid BL readers (no hate cuz I’m one too) and most of us are women. All this BL we read is written by women for women… but why? Some people say that it’s because women who read BL are fetishizers but I don’t really think that at all�......
