He had no interest in her when she was from a poorer background, and he only confessed his love when she had been granted an elevated status. Even then, he wasn't ready to take any losses in the name of love- he expected HER to make the sacrifice. And as stated, she "Became the most noble lady in the empire". Johannes's love wasn't worth shit.

He didn't even think of his wife while nearing his death. He was still fixated on his first love. And Shiuri wasn't even a person to him- only an object. A rose in a field of grass. Her wellbeing wasn't really a concern. He just wanted his fantasy satisfied.

All throughout the story, every character praises Johannes for having chosen Shiuri. They wonder how he knew she'd be devoted to his family, how he knew how smart she was. He didn't. He didn't know shit. He didn't give a damn about his family, and only had a passing concern for her.

He bought a 14 year old girl as a replacement and abused her.

Johannes, the man that you are, they could never make me like you.

Idk how to explain it. For some reason the relationship seems unhealthy

Does anyone have it? I must read the author's original words

That's the only way I see him getting out of this

Euiyoung looks like a perfect mix of both of them. The way he flops on the recliner like Taeju, but in Euihyun"s smaller version is so fucking cute <3 It has my heart

The current format takes away from the story. I understand that they're translating in bits and that's fine, but reading 2 panels and then having the chapter end is really abrupt. I wish it was arranged better

Seme is tall, but Yeomin has bigger fish to fry . Did you really think a scholarship student who works part time will stay hung up on his fuck-buddy all the time?

First manhua that had me up till 4 AM. God bless!

I loved the manhua and translation so much, I went and read the novel. What a beautiful story! Highly recommended

I can't handle another story where the lead ends up with a child they raised. It was trashy with f/m, it's trashy with m/m. Please, for the love of God, let them continue as a guardian and child, no hanky panky

I don't know much about the king either, but hopefully he's misunderstood or something

I think you may have uploaded the ss in the wrong order love. Thanks for the fast upload though

Taekjoo is bruised everywhere, and even though the body language is "subtle", you can clearly see that he's afraid. I'm not fins of tape scenes, but authors who show how horrible it can br have my respect

DUDE.
HE DID THE MOON IS BEAUTIFUL CONFESSION! HOLY SHIT

For those of you who don't know, a famous poem in Japan basically says that lovers don't need to say, "I love you" to have their feelings conveyed, even a simple sentence, like "The moon is beautiful tonight" is a confession in and of itself. You'll see it across a huge variety of romance novels.

I love how the manhwa has adapted the characters to the novel religiously. But we can definitely see a change in the way Yuder is drawn in the latest chapter right? His hair length and eyes look different, and there seems to be more variation in his expression.

I feel like this is because we're seeing things from the perspective of those who've grown closer to Yuder or the Commander. Because the Commander pays more attention to Yuder around this time and takes considerable efforts to gauge his reactions and read his expressions.

I see a lot of people confused about this, so I figured I'd add in the necessary context.

As per the novel, the idea is that someone from a lower class background would never have the nerve to reject tea offered by their higher ups, especially when pressed. In a strictly hierarchical society, a random citizen with no backing rejecting the Duke/ Imperial family member/ Commander is unheard of. Thus, a boy from the mountains doing this says something about his character, and can also be seen as suspicious/ noteworthy etc.

All those posts you see on the regular, "My wife divorced me out of nowhere ", "I was Blindsided", etc. Look at the huge difference in which they see their married life. She was practically a prisoner, and he thinks all the times he forced her away from friends and family were happy times. There's also that unequal distribution of labour and severe communication gaps.

Everyone surprised by the ML's behavior has to see how so many marriages work. This is a huge problem in real life. In fact, I'm glad to see a representation of such in manhwa.

Somehow I hadn't expected mangakas to give NB people lead roles. Good to see.

Couldn't give it a zero, so I gave it a 1. It's just a series of disjointed sex scenes that barely make sense (logically, not anatomy wise). Just messy all around

Ugh, I'm so sure that ML is impersonating his rwin or something. The vibe is really off here. That dead brother is the first one OP was in love with I think.

A really solid story. Good pacing, character depth, character motivations, art style- I liked all of it. No bull crap rape or tantrums or whatever the fuck haunts most BLs these days
