This is just my opinion but I don't think the Emperor is all that bad, he clearly seems very invested in finding his child and I have a sneaking suspicion that the previous iteration of the story was all a scheme of the Empress and her daughter, since it was mentioned that the little devil had charm magic I'm assuming that's what got MC the unwanted child treatment
Now that MC is regaining her life I hope that her biological dad also steps up unlike the past, who knows? Maybe the past dad gets some sense knocked into him and he'll realize that he's being bamboozled, like I genuinely believe that the father was being manipulated and while an enormous apology is needed, I won't be too mad if the MC accepts his apology
