Guys…just hear me out….but like what if their family curse isn’t that they will never be loved by their dream person but that they’ll NEVER BE ABLE TO TELL? THINK ABOUT IT. Genas’s first love was the empress right…but her dreams showed the previous emperor. However, Genas looks EXACTLY like the previous emperor in his youth, and we’re told that she started with being with him because he resembled the ex-emperor so closely but WHAT IF GENAS WAS HER ACTUAL SOULMATE ALL ALONG AND SHE CONFUSED THE EX-EMPEROR WITH GENAS.
This is based on Romeo and Juliet, and we all know Shakespeare had some wild plot-twist romance plays, so it would actually fit super well if it’s true. IT WOULD BE FUCKED BUT IT WOULD MAKE SENSE
But gena didn't love the empress. You can tell with the conversation between Enoch and Gena's in the chapters of their flashbacks.
I would like to disagree though?? Correct me if im wrong, but isnt that the reason why he cherishes his younger brother so much because his blue eyes and silver hair remind him of his first love?? Even the empress mentioned something about the ML being the son of his first love
No, I don't think he loved her, he actually just likes Enoch as a younger sibling. they developed a sibling relationship and it seems to be the only familial relationship genas got in that family. The empress is just assuming from her own delusions since she herself is obsessive and possessive. It seems she only went on all the rumours. But your theory sounds fun. Can't wait for more chapters to know what's going on.
I thought this theory might be true at first and i agree with u that genas loved ML’s mom (and its sort of implied that she ended up loving him back at the end since she wrote in her will to leave her heart for him after her death) but the condition for surviving the fevers was marrying the person in ur dreams. Since her fevers stopped after she married the emperor, he’s probably the person in her dreams after all.
Nope, that's just the Empress's misunderstanding. She doesn't know the history between them and thinks he loved Enoch's mother and treats him like a son. The reality is that Enoch's mother was mentally ill and was raping Genas because she thought she was having sex with the Emporer (Genas's father at the time). He tells Enoch straight up that he didn't want to have sex with her, which shocks Enoch and makes him ask why he does it then. It's because she's pitiful. She's the saddest things he's ever seen and he can't bring himself to push her away. And her saddest moment is dying pitifully while begging him to protect her son. He doesn't love Enoch so much "because of his blue eyes", which she thinks is because he loves Enoch's mother, it's because they both survived her mental illness and bonded. Plus it's the last thing she asked for.
Thanks for clarifying. I might need to reread this again because I missed the part where they had sex lol
It's implicit, they don't actually show it. One of the nobles mentions that Genas has been seen coming from the empress's room in the mornings. The only thing we the readers see is when Enoch stumbled upon them kissing and runs away before returning to grab the book he dropped and getting caught by Genas. He asks Genas if he's doing that with his mom because he loves her and Genas says no, that there's just no point in trying to stop her because nothing would change. This is because she is mentally ill and gets worse and worse till she can no longer even tell Genas and his father apart.
I love how she says she’s not a real shaman while putting in more effort than most ‘real’ shamans would do to solve the problem AND she actually sees ghosts
He just said that an exposure to alpha pheromones causes a beta to become an omega, NOT that it has to be DELIBERATE. It could literally have been an accident, since Sunwoo started liking him and is dominant alpha. It make sense too: you see someone on the street and you start to like them, so in order to see them more, you try and take the same bus or train time to see them more. We know that pheromones are released more when excited, emotionally or physically. So literally just by being in the general vicinity of the person you like or even just thinking about them can set off a pheromone dump, and in close quarters multiple times a day? Yeah, seems like a prime opportunity for something like stalker-fucker is describing to happen (beta to omega). I also trust solidly 1% or less that comes out of his mouth after what he did so
Alright but also, ignoring the fact they always have sex, can I just at how much I freaking ADORE our MC??? Like our ML is amazeballs too, but DAMN do I love it when our bottom matches our tops freak. Like the honesty in how much Doha likes the sex and him not being absolutely destroyed every morning because he can actually take all the sex and ENJOY IT…I actually love him. And not Jihwan being so adorbs with him too.
Everyone is like ‘my smile dropped when I saw he turned into a child’ and ‘I didn’t want to be reminded’ but I’m over here genuinely worried about Hyo-un turning into a flipping kid body like that’s super concerning especially after the entire fiasco that supposedly let his powers settle down and he should be able to control his form…and now he can’t control them again? If I were Taehyuk I’d freak the fuck out.
I started reading this for brain rot. Why did it randomly turn into such a gem? The art style got so much better, the characters are actually super compelling and I ended up crying for most of their stories, and somehow this is the only harem I’m actually cool with??? Why??? Why is it good??? I’m confused???
Wait. WAIT. WHAT. THERE’S GONNA BE AN ANIME??? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS??? HOLY SHIT???? THERE’S 10 BOOKS OF GREATNESS AND WE GET ARTHUR IN ALL HIS GLORY, IN A HONEST TO GOD ANIMATION??? IM GONNA CRY. IM ALREADY CRYING. I CANT BELIEVE IT HOLY SHIT
Lord, I would’ve been okay either way if Jooha remembered or not, but stop giving them (and me) heart attacks when they’re literally just having fun and living life like wtf don’t go from winter wonderland to new trauma developed you’re killing me here man
Why the fuck is this such a green flag compared to like 90% of other BL???
Yeah dude, I'm asking the same thing.. it's BDSM too
