WARNING: LOOONG RANT
TL/DR: Because Rashta stole what she has now, she had the nerve to ask why she was being punished?? What, she deserves love and happiness? Nope. She deserves every bad karma coming to her. I didnt read the novel, so I don't know what will happen in the end, but Novel/Webtoon Gods, please help Rashta's children get happiness. Also, I wish Navier and her child, and Everly happiness.
So...Navier was born a rich Noble and had and education and perfect family. Rashta was born a slave, whose father left her with an abusive family to work for. She stole Sovieshu from Navier. Stole some favor of the people from Navier. Stole the position and title of Empress, plus gave Sovieshu a child. She roughly thought about all of this to herself, yet she STILL had the audacity...the gall...to ask why is she being punished.
Look, we can't pick and choose what family we are born into. If we could, a good third...maybe even half wouldn't be with the family they have now. I understand you wanted love and wanted to be loved, but getting it by way of lying, cheating, and stealing it from another? Nah. You deserve every single hardship and negative karma that has been coming to you and will continue to come to you.
There's a reddit group I'm apart of and they stopped all discussions of Rashta bc there were some people who felt sorry for her and were on her side and excused everything she did. Because of that, those who opposed her and her actions...well...they opposed those people and it was a HUGE argument and even politics and racism came into it somehow. I said all of that to say this: you can choose who you like and hate. You can even say that Rashta is no different from our favorite MC from the Villainess tropes. But I'm sorry...I don't care what her background was. I don't care who she's like from other stories. I care about the fact that she tried to destroyed a person's life--WHO DID NOTHING TO HER AND DIDNT EVEN KNOW HER--all because that person came from privilege and was loved, while she (Rashta) was born a slave and didn't receive love. You deserve to be placed in a dungeon and never to be seen again. I feel so sorry for her first child, the son, and her child with Sovieshu. They didn't ask to be born and they didn't ask for her mother like her. I haven't read the novel (yet...though I might to get this drama out of the way), but I'm hoping for Navier's happiness, Everly's happiness and to be reunited with her real parents, and for Rashta's children's happiness. It would be nice if Navier and Heinry could raise the son. At least he would have some form of stability (maybe...Henry is flighty and kookie sometimes). But the daughter?? Novel/Webtoon Gods, please help her.
