So the princess puts a love potion on bachan so he falls in love with her and has a kid with her. I am so tired at this point with stories like that ruining romance, bachan and fl should have end up together, the emperor is very unlikable to me his personality is basic and mediocre (almost every fantasy romance story has a ml that is cold and mean to everybody except fl, which again it can be done properly but it has been overused to the point of it being same character, different looks and different plot in most of the fantasy romance novels.) it would have been cute to see a love story between bachan and fl, while the emperor is supporting them. Most authors do this thing where they remove or "kill off" or just make the character unlikable so the fl can end up with the "proper" ml. One thing I liked is that the plot is different, but to me it ruined the aspect of the whole story. The main point that I'm trying to make is that we can see this repetitive narrative in different novels. This particular novel has nothing interesting the fl being practically fate-bond with the ml, from the start of the novel.
