I'M SO HAPPY THIS WAS THE CUTEST AND BEST ENDING EVER!!
I'm going say this. Chanwoo's issue isn't that serious and Chanwoo needs to realize the issue isn't loosing someone, it's the fact he's too careless with whom he dates. He doesn't give it time to get to know the person before dating, he hops right in and that's how he gets hurt. People can put on an act (anytime really) and if you care more about dating a cute person rather than personality + looks, then it's an issue. No one wants to fear losing the person they love, but you really need to be careful :'( <3. I'm glad it all worked out in the end! By far one of my favorite stories! <3 Good job Author!

All caught up.
Even if she's being forced she should know if she killed Erin Rowan will just hate her even more!! That won't make him like her at all!! In fact HE would probably KILL her himself if she killed Erin!! Her options are to 1) don't kill Erin and get killed by Crown Prince 2) kill Erin and get killed by Rowan. Wouldn't she rather die in the hands of Rowan at least?!?! She is lucky Rowan showed up and she has a small leeway to excuse and explain herself by saying she was forced and ordered by Crown Prince.
She makes no sense. And clearly Erin is married to him and she clearly sees how Rowan treats her, for her to say "what do you know?!" makes NO sense. She's the one who knows nothing. This also would have been a good opportunity for Erin to say "he wouldn't have married you anyways. It was a forced arrange marriage. If he never bough you luxury items then while you were engaged, what makes you think he'd do it now." To at least try to wake her up.
She's completely contradicting herself and tunnel visioned it's scary. I don't pity Lady Palladine, she's a terrible person and I want her to rot. But at least come to her senses and just be an evil person, not be evil and delusional refusing to acknowledge her actions and errors. Killing someone isn't going to earn you kindness or love. It does the opposite.

dude she wasn't in love with rowan she just wanted to be duchess. The crown prince said that she needed to kill erin to live and maybe become queen. Since she was born as an high status noble i doubt she would have survived as a commoner.As you know nobody is perfect and when you see her situation only remembering her past life will help her. Claire was influenced by everyone around her to become duchess or marry someone high status as you see in one chapter where she was ignored by rowan and then her brother told her you'll be the duchess anyway. She was raised in a corrupted society where people only cared about power, wealth and looks. There are people who don't believe in this way of life like the former duchess (rowan's mother). It's wrong to hit on a married man and i agree with that. But don't you think she would just give up on rowan and marry a powerful figure. There's evidence there she did the dirty work for the Crown Prince just to be queen knowing fully well he was a bad person. That's whats puzzles me she could have just married a powerful figure and left. And don't you blame her for trying to kill erin she clearly said that she was going to die herself and she is no wrong if erin hadn't met the duke. The duke out of pressure would marry her and remember the plot. The duke married erin because of Magic i doubt without it he would kept her alive and we all know erin wouldn't lie like that. No character is perfect claire is one of them deep characters . The duke knows he had a tragic childhood because society say so but claire is in a toxic society. You first need to understand the problem to grow claire will never learn because her life is deemed normal but privileged around her. You really need to learn how to inference.

1) she was/is in love with him 2) i will blame her for trying to kill erin, she and the prince are both at fault. you're not going to willingly murder someone just because someone tells you too 3) if she wanted to marry a powerful figure she would have done so, but she spent her time chasing after him so no. And NO the duke would NOT have married her, he already broke off with her bc he 1) didn't like her 2) realized it was a trap for him. Whether he met Erin or not, they were never getting together. Stop bootlicking Claire, I don't need to understand her situation m8, I've read it, there's no excuse.

Even if she's being forced she should know if she killed Erin Rowan will just hate her even more!! That won't make him like her at all!! In fact HE would probably KILL her himself if she killed Erin!! Her options are to 1) don't kill Erin and get killed by Crown Prince 2) kill Erin and get killed by Rowan.

I don't think a person will just give up and die. no one wants to die no matter what and you can't really judge her only on her will to live and survive, there is nothing wrong with that. she is been useud and threatened, of course she lose some rationality. who will stay calm in that situation after been starve, threatened, having no one to turn too to help.
I don't think she is a bad person deep down, she just shove into a corner she can't get out of her daspeir.
of course she contradicting herself, she is not rational like this. I think she already know she will never get Rowan no matter what she will do, she just do what she could to live, at least that what she believe will help her live a little more.
tell me you, how will she live and get out of the prince hold? she have no one to turn too.

I don't think she will live anyway, but that what she believes, since you know she wants to survive. she have no other choice anyway at this point and she can't run away from the fuck up prince ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ I will blame the prince more than her since he is a fuck up asshole.
it the classic choice of someone who put a gun to your head and gives you a gun, he tells you "You kill this kid/girl or you die by my gun. make your choice" that how she feel right now. does she do it willingly? absolutely not, does she have another choice? Nope ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ you die or you kill, either way, it sucks.

Personally I don't think she should die, but I do want her to suffer. Idk how though. Eh no I blame her, she was evil before she was involved with the Prince, she just got worse after associating with him. Plus she had all the time to run when she wasn't around him (before her imprisonment). She could have told the Duke, he helps destroy the Prince or anyone else she knows well and dislikes the Prince.
Also she wasn't held at gunpoint, sure someone was behind the wall waiting. But the Prince wasn't around. Thinking more about it now, yeah I want her dead XD (≧∀≦)

There is only one guard in the room with them watching. And I was referring to her walking around the streets, before she was placed in prison. Which I did mention :3
Sorry I don't support gold diggers and someone who tries to cling to someone who has openly stated they don't like her. Plus even if the Prince wasn't involved she'd still want Erin dead to get her out of the way :/

and like 5 guards in hiding following her around and watching her. the prince isn't an idiot you know ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I'm not a fan of her but she still better than the asshole prince. I don't think she wants Erin dead, she was in love with him and he hurt her. of course, she is mad and says some dumb shit but I doubt she ever can touch him. I think she still in love with him, even after all he did to her and was super cold to her. the prince is still the worse of the two, hands down

She's literally held onto him and clinged to him fully knowing he wanted nothing to do with her. Plus he didn't hurt her. He simply stated he didn't like her. Though yes he did also state he disliked her whole family for being manipulative and fake. Him not liking her back isn't hurting her. That's being desperate. No one is required to date you just because you like them. Everything was her own fault. She knew from the beginning he didn't like her yet she still followed him, still held onto him and still bothered him. He did nothing to her. But yes the Prince is very well the worst hands down ^_^

did you forget they were supposed to be married and he abandons her for the war and breaks their engagement? no matter what you say, he could have done it in another way. and she was in love with him, it's not just for money.
has much has you called her fake, the duke isn't that "honest" either. if he didn't like her he should not agree to be engaged with her.
even if she is desperate, you mostly can't control feelings, he does not have to feel the same way as her but at least he could cancel in another way.
I won't try to change your mind, again the prince is the most manipulative person on that we agree.

Did you forget they weren't supposed to be married and it was arranged and set up by her father to manipulate and trick the Duke but he caught on quickly and cut ties. He never liked her. Never. She knew this too. Again just because SHE loved him doesn't mean he has to love her back. It's not about her. She's not entitled or special. That's manipulative and pressure. She has no right to be upset when he never liked her. That's her issue not his or anyone elses. It's life and she needs to grow up and get over it.
"cancel it another way" um there is no other way. If you don't like someone then you cancel it. There is no other way. You can't force someone into a marriage they don't want and never wanted. The Duke has said it so many times and she refused to listen. Again as I said before the Prince is indeed the worst but the Duke did nothing wrong and Palladine is disgusting and deserves to rot.

On Chapter 22.. "Had you been even the least bit interested in me, I probably wouldn't have turned out like this." He never liked you, what are you missing. Are you that tunnel visioned? Plus even the Prince, who may be an asshole, doesn't like you. Perhaps you should be judging yourself and not others :)

People really bashing MD? For what? A slap? You're gonna judge 1 tiny slap yet be okay with everything else? (I like BDSM btw). It's hypocritical. You can't like BDSM with all the hard punishment yet get mad over a slap. That's nothing. Plus slapping is part of BDSM.
And clearly MD likes Chanwoo and this is testing their judgment. He likes how Chanwoo talks back yet enjoys it. Seunghyun is too obsessed and too gullible (says yes to everything). Which is no fun for BDSM at all. Don't attack MD for legit n o reason. First it's just a story, you can get mad at certain things but at least make it make sense. hating MD right now makes no sense. (=・ω・=)

Exactly and I hate the fact everyone is throwing around the word abuse like it's nothing as someone who is has been through serious abuse this is so triggering to me that people want to compare this to actually real abuse that's going on in the world. Like come on guys really???
I don't know if it's because I actually went through fucked up abuse in the past but this does not count as abuse to me period
Ps. Don't reply to this message just a late night rant

Ive been through it, and my logic is way different then yours, and people arent throwing it around were tryna make a logic out of it, you can literal go search it up yourself, and you know whats triggering the fact that youu've been through it and agree with shit that are saying sum like "haha he deserved it or im happy that he got hit" and say there not abuse> it doesnt have to be physical but it can be mental and emotional abuse

Yes I do understand how it feels like to be abused and not being able to do any about it I do understand how it feels to live in constant fear and to feel completely helpless, but however i cant really understand how he feels like because he agree to it. it was consensual, because from my point of view he agreed to it. Do you think if I was giving the option to choose whether or not I wanted to get the shit beat out of me for the dumbest reason I would have said yes? he had a safe word I didn't. So please don't compare my situation to this thank you
Sry I reposted this answer, because I was basically gonna say the same thing again

bra dont you understand that MD said its gonna be over ? Chanwoo didnt want that, e aint know the new sub was gonna kiss him, whyd u think he backed away, MD said if ur not gonna do it leave, which Chanwoo didnt wasnt but did it anyway even tho he was uncomfortable, and Chanwoo dont been through abusive shit to the point where he thinks BDSm is alright with doing that shit even if he didnt want too

Since I’ve referred you to my post before, I’ll assume you’re unwilling to learn and are Purposefully being an aggravator... in which case I’m going to call you out on being an abuse excuser.
If you really have been abused before, I’m sorry that happened but that doesn’t give you the right to claim that a violent act isn’t abuse because worse exists. Especially not to claim that this isn’t abuse bc “it’s bdsm”. Any sexual act without consent is abuse. Period.

SO YOU KNOW UR SHIT WHILE OTHER PEOPLE ARE ASSUMING INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY DOING THERE RESEARCH I always say it’s good to share ur opinion but if ur not part of the community you have no right to tell people either there right or wrong, since they have there own opinion, you don’t know shit if ur not apart of the community

wait wtffff that is SO cool?!??? I suddenly admire you so much now!! and the fact that you're studying sex crime is also sooo fucking cool. i'm not into bdsm whatsoever but I respect the community and it frustrates me when hollywood and mere mainstream media demonizes it. bdsm is literally the BIGGEST sex act that NEEDS consent and while everyone just believes its weird bc of the pain are so ignorant. would I try it personally? no, but that doesn't mean I would demonize someone else's tastes. it intrigues me and i'm educated enough about it. that's why I really was interested in the side story bc I thought it was suppose to demonstrate healthy sex with consent and communication and dispel the stigma about bdsm but it seems like its not doing that at all now so :""")))))) yipiee

Oh stop it you ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
And yes I had the same expectations y’all. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any unproblematic “bdsm” yaoi, and that really fuggin sucks. It’s such an interesting and complex topic, and I think it has a lot of potential to be a super sexy story!
But when it’s done like this... yikes.

1. Nope I didn't ignore your post I actually read through it and have a better understanding of the topic and why it was so problematic, so after I reading the post I realized I was in the wrong but then I didn't want to return to comment section to argue about the situation anymore which is why I left the Nope
2. Don't call someone an abuse excuser mostly nit to someone who has been through abuse it fucks with their mind and if it seemed like.i was actually supporting abuse then I apologise
3. I was late to read your article because it was really long and I was in the middle of reading another manga but when I finished the manga I read it.
4. It's just a fictional manga at the end of the day

You're pressed for legit zero reason and it's obvious. Also clearly quite a bit of people are foaming from the mouth over MD. And yes it was a tiny slap. It's not the end of the world. Chanwoo was upset over the fact he's in this situation with Seunghyun he's baffled that MD is 'pinning them against each other'. You need to reread.
And for you to say to another person "and you know whats triggering the fact that youu've been through it and agree with shit that are saying sum like "haha he deserved it or im happy that he got hit""
Not only do you sound 5 and your grammar is terrible, you are assuming and putting words into other people's mouths. No one ever said Chanwoo deserved it, people are saying stop being over dramatic for legit no reason. Learn how to read and spell before you start yapping at others. Stop thinking your feelings and opinion are superior than others. You have be an abusive victim, but so are others. Everyone's situation is different, no one is more special then the other. Stop privileging abusive. On top of that none of this is abusive. A part of me believes you aren't a victim and you're just a troll on the interest but I don't know you so I won't guarantee anything.
You can have your own opinion but don't act like your opinion is facts, the right of way and don't you dare attack others over it.
Again, simply stop being overdramatic over this episode.

bdsm and punishment is a two way street where both parties receive pleasure and it's clear that Chanwoo is only doing this to maintain his position as MD's sub. he is being manipulated into staying, even though he doesn't really want it, but he's too prideful to say the safe word and leave. MD is toying with Chanwoo this way bc he got his feelings hurt for being rejected. He's allowing his emotions to influence the play. THAT is wrong. why is that so hard to understand?
Hajin didn't hate Hangyum, he hated how he was 'used' and 'lied' to. Which in reality, he wasn't. It's just a big misunderstanding and really he doesn't give Hangyum the chance to explain. Hangyum, as we noticed, is also bad with words/expressing himself truthfully. This story is just one big mess, but it isn't a bad one. The real issues are Hajin and Jaehee. Does Jaehee have ulterior motives? If not idk what to do. I LOWKEY ship him and Hajin still, I definitely don't ship him with director and definitely not Hangwool. I ship Hangwool and director for sure!
I agree with most of what you said. I think your the first that has even remotely liked Jaehee and even low key ship him and Hajin. For the story, Hajin has rejected Jaehee many times. I can’t even low key ship them together because Hajin does not want to be with Jaehee. Lots of others would not ship them together because the hate Jaehee.
I do agree with everything else.
Oh oops. Thanks for the refreshing thoughts.
He really can't be all that bad otherwise Hajin would have never dated him :/ but yes I agree with you ^^ Jaehee does need to stop, clearly Hajin doesn't have feelings anymore.
Why did you say oops though? You said nothing wrong <3
They say love is blind and sometimes you don’t see who the person is when you are together. Maybe this applies in this situation? Just from things Hajin has said? I don’t know.
I said oops because that was supposed to be my last sentence in my first comment. It was a oops to my blunder
That's very true.
Oh I see ^_^
